Good call hitting up my neighborhood restaurant/hangout on the “other side” of town (SJC, over the bridge, away from the Mission). The “wedge salad” and “farfalle aurora.” 😀👍😎. Seriously! Try this place out anytime, but especially on weekend days when the Mission area is super...Read More

Stopped by for lunch on my home through Hwy 74. Tried their blackened chicken sandwich and paired it with their own Tannins blond ale 5 out of 5 in my book. Great service, great staff. Will return

This was our first time here and we arrived at what seemed to be a shift change as there was only one server for the first 30 minutes of our visit. She did a good job but had way too many people to handle by...Read More

Really enjoyed our night here. We wanted to take our time to have a long dinner, and Katie was a great server to help us do that. I wish they would expand their appetizer menu. However, their Tannins pizza made a perfect appetizer! The arrabiata was...Read More

Excellent restaurant and bar, with a wine room and a good selection of various wines. They have a surf and turf special on Tuesdays consisting of steak and lobster tail that is very reasonably priced and quite tasty. The service is excellent.

Their garlic bread is the best. It doesn't look that appealing but take a bite and you'll end up ordering multiple baskets. The rest of the food is great too. My favorite is the lasagna.
