I dined with family recently at Willi's Wine Bar and it was beyond fabulous! Every small plate was an artistic delight, the food was unique and delicious and our server, Reina, was attentive and helpful. The goat cheese fritters with blistered tomatoes and lavender honey was my favorite of all the plates we shared (and we shared a lot). Go, indulge, enjoy. **Reseve a table outside. Inside is extremely noisy making conversation difficult.

I met my girlfriend here for lunch today and we sat outside on the patio. She ordered yellow curry with chicken and brown rice and I ordered the mixed green salad with chicken. This was not your ordinary mixed green! It was served in a wooden bowl with fresh romaine, toasted cashews, avocado and green apple slices, chicken cooked to perfection and sprinkled with the best goat cheese I've ever tasted. The lime dressing brought this dish to another level. The staff was welcoming and efficient. Highly recommend!

3. Rosso Pizzeria & Wine Bar

Nice setting and friendly staff. The pizza, while wood-fired, isnât anything close to real Napoletana pizza. The crust is too thin and soggy (partly from too many toppings), overly garlicky and (for the salumi pizza) overwhelming rosemary. The meatball pasta was also drowned in a tomato sauce that had far too much garlic and tasted more of tomato paste than real or delicate tomatoes. The wine choices were reasonable and included some relatively low priced options. Total bill for one pizza, one pasta and bottle of wine, with tip and tax, came to $70.

We went here for dinner and were delighted. It is a very casual, very informal place with great food, spectacular wine, and friendly and great service. I had the duck gizzard salad and the duck breast. Both were wonderful, although the duck gizzard salad was a meal in itself. I could have stopped there, but didn't, and was glad I didn't.In spite of the fact that this place features Walter Hansel wines, it also has a pretty good selection of beers and non-Walter Hansel wines. I had a beer to start, which was great, but do yourself a favor and have some Walter Hansel wine. The Walter Hansel red wines, all pinot noirs, I believe, are really good and are priced right (after eating here I bought a case). A wine that costs $40 retail costs $65 here, while it would cost $80 - $120 anywhere else.

A little hide-a-way just minutes from town. Open to the Public! Kid friendly. The center for over 4,500 wine and food fanatics - over 1,400 live within 10 minutes of the club. Try our house made pasta, lasagna, ravioli, local cheeses, tremendous vegetaria
