The winetenders was attentive and super chill. The energy was good. Pricing is what you'll expect from a wine bar. Other than that, this place didn't really stand out from the other winebars I've been to. If you're looking for a low-key bar to stop by and enjoy a glass of wine, then this is your place to be!

We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!

Once you arrive to the newly paved parking lot, you are surrounded by greenery...Vines on one side, grass on the other and you are greeted with the sound of a waterfall and flowing stream of water. Upon entering the unique circular building, the atmosphere and staff are welcoming. We had a Groupon for a wine tasting and at the counter, our server explained what that included: a flight per person plus $10 dollars off a bottle of wine. She patiently explained the different wine flights and was able to suggest one based on our taste preference. Her suggestion did not disappoint. We took our wines outside, past the lovely green grass, onto the area of the man made waterfall. The entire space was so peaceful, and the wine elevated the experience. Our server came out to check on us several times and offered us cheese or olives from their snack menu. We had the cheese sample, which was from Trader Joe's. It was nothing fancy, but fitting for the experience. I will definitely be returning.

Our waitress was a total superstar and took great care of us with service and answering questions. We even joked about Star Trek a bit. I ordered the Rose salad and some roasted potatoes (Bravas Rosas). The potatoes were really delicious and well-seasoned with crunchy and soft parts and a nice spicy dipping sauce. I wanted to love the salad because it was large and well-dressed, BUT the lettuce was gritty and could've used a more thorough rinse. I ended up not eating much of it because the texture wasn't good. One of my friends got the Rose Salad Pie which she really enjoyed (basically a pizza with Rose Salad on top) and my other friend got the gazpacho which really liked. I would definitely come back and try some other dishes. If I do, I'll update the review!

What I would like to emphasize is the professionalism of the inner workings of this restaurant, the behind-the-scenes efforts that truly make it a 'next level' venue. Some places hit near perfect on food, or on service, or on ambience / cleanliness. Vinarius is a unicorn, a trifecta hitting all three. From the moment you enter, the staff's enthusiasm to have you as a guest is evident. The warmth, their inflection - so intentional, so genuine, so wonderful. From welcoming you from the curb through settling your account. The staff has multiple eyes on plates as they enter the chef's window, the constant and subtle movement on the floor means you can request something at ANYTIME without filling rushed or bothered. The intimate design and layout are authentic and create a peaceful yet exciting experience. In closing, Classic Expressos to begin, vast and wonderful wine selection, Fettuccine Alfredo with salmon, Pollo al Marsala and the Tiramisu to close out could NOT have been better. If I knew the names of the entire staff, I'd call them all out - as they truly function as a world series level team. But of note, Jacob - thank you for making our night extra special and taking such great care of us. Vinarius = as good as it gets. See you soon.

The food was legit - buffet style includes the basics such as rice, beans, enchiladas, but then steps up to their game with a few delicious guisados ( stews), Birria, machaca, and finishes it all off with menudo and two types of pozole. Include water and coffee and you'll walk out of there a happy customer. The service is way nice, the chef (Georgina) is super engaging and the place is tastefully decorated, one really feels the passion they put into the effort. A great way to spend a Sunday morning in Jamul!

As is the interior design. I sat there and thought nothing about this place makes me feel like somewhere cool/hip/exciting. Thankfully I wasn't there for the decor. They have a nice wine list and beer options too. I ordered the Sauvignon Blanc which they were out of. The server suggested the Grillo Gurriere (Italian white wine) which was really nice- dry, crisp, fruit notes, bold. We also had one of their desserts Gooey Brownie. The brownie and the ice cream were great. The peanut brittle and the candied walnuts were not needed imo. The staff was attentive and ready to help..
