    This place is legit !

    Where do I begin and how do I end? If you follow me - You know I tell nothing but the truth so help me God, Ancestors, and all Positive Universal Energies. The Wine Buff. Food. They do not serve food, but as of 2024 you can bring outside food with you. Service. I felt like.. if you know the show CHEERS. I felt as if it was Visalia's own small version of CHEERS. It was good energy, every single hostess was so welcoming and kind. Great energy, great personalities and honest about the wine they were serving. The variety was so crazy. Ambiance. This is just the beginning is what I got from this place. It smelled very clean when I came in. I felt as if I was walking in a winery / neighborhood kickback. Everyone, customers and all are friendly. This is an LGBTQ friendly place. The energy is just inviting. The owner reminds me of the Vegetarian Guru, Tabitha Brown. It is honestly all love and respect when I went in there. Thursday is Karaoke night. Sunday is Bottomless Mimosas. Do I recommend? Yes. And Yes again. 10 out of 10.

    Wine Buff is such a glorious little gem. My husband and I had such an amazing night wine tasting. The owners are so personable and knowledgeable in all things wine. Ambiance is fantastic. The music was grooving to old school funk like Chaka Khan, Luther Vandross, Kool and the Gang, and more. This spot is perfect for a fun date night. We did the wine tasting flight and also bought a bottle. We will definitely come back the next time we are in town.

    Absolutely love this place !!!! The atmosphere the staff very welcoming. It's a vibe. I would definitely recommend it to all wine lovers and even for those non-wine lovers, there's also beer. They also have charcuterie.

    If I could give Wine Buff 1,000,000 stars, I would! Everything about WB is perfect. From the moment you walk in, you feel welcomed. Eryn and Diriki are amazing humans and have created an environment where everyone feels safe, loved, and appreciated regardless of who they are and how many times they've visited! The wine is delicious, but my fiancé and I come back time and time again because of the people. And Thursday night karaoke shows exactly how many talented people we have in our town! We LOVE cheering everyone on while enjoying some fantastic music! Truly can't go wrong visiting Wine Buff!

    Great wine!

Walk in and be swept away to old Hollywood glamour with white linen table clothes and service personnel that take pride in the way they look and the way they do their jobs. The food is just as manicured, ready to be photographed. AMBIENCE: 5 SERVICE: 5 PRESENTATION: 5 FOOD: 4 PRICE: 4 Why the 4 stars? The food is really good... but you can definitely go through the menu quickly. I understand the concept of having a small menu but I wish the menu was changed occasionally (maybe it is and I don't know it). And the price is a little steep.... Just a little...

For brunch, I ordered the steak and potatoes, and it was sooo good. Everything was cooked really well and had great flavor, definitely felt like a more upscale brunch compared to your typical spots. One of my favorite parts though is the pastries they bring out -- such a nice touch and always super good. I also tried their cappuccino and it was just okay, nothing amazing but not bad either. The service here is always amazing, which honestly makes such a difference. I think the brunch is better than dinner, oops hot take! But everyone is super attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels classy but still comfortable. Definitely a solid spot for a nicer brunch or dinner, I'll for sure keep coming back.

You could tell they know many of their regulars and have built great relationships with them, which always creates a welcoming atmosphere. Michelle and Laney were our server and bartender for the evening, and both were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our visit. We ordered the Scallops and the Stuffed Mushrooms to share. The scallops were delicious, and the praline bacon added the perfect touch of sweetness. The balsamic whiskey dressing was phenomenal and tied the whole dish together beautifully. The stuffed mushrooms were rich, filling, and packed with flavor. For drinks, I ordered a Dark Horse on tap--a personal favorite that's hard to find at many places. My husband enjoyed an 805. Unfortunately, I didn't snap a photo before we drank! Before leaving, we took home the dessert special: Boston Cream Pie Cheesecake. It was pure heaven in every bite and the perfect ending to the meal. We definitely want to come back and experience the restaurant side, but for drinks and appetizers, this was a fantastic first visit.

Sarah was our server and she was cheerful and very professional. After a couple of recommendations we ordered some favorites. I tried the meatloaf, not a normal pick for me but it was highly recommend. I am happy I did! Juicy and flavorful with crunchy onions on top and a bed of creamy mashed potatoes below. We tried the sweet potato fries for an appetizer and they were delicious. For desert I was treated to their famous bread pudding, in high birthday fashion too. This is a must have when visiting here! All in all a great night with delicious food and friendly service.
