When we discovered The Tasting Room we were looking for somewhere special to celebrate my Husband’s 50th birthday. We came to the Tasting Room and I contacted the owner and head chef, Nico, over email. Nico was very responsive and provided great communication the entire time, making the planning process much less stressful. Nico was able to accommodate all our needs easily.
Once we got to the restaurant, we were escorted to a beautiful private room in the establishment's basement. The room was designed to resemble a speakeasy and had a large wine cellar in the back of the room.
Once everyone arrived, Nico began to present a wine tasting to us himself. He was very knowledgeable about the wines and was able to present that information entertainingly. The wines he had picked out tasted delicious as well. Along with the wine tasting, Nico and his marvelous staff served a wonderful dinner consisting of Black Caviar, Olive Oil Poached Salmon, a wonderful Wagyu Beef Zabuton, and more wonderful items. Throughout the entire service, the staff was attentive and kind and ensured that we and our guests were taken care of.
For the high-quality service, the price was also quite reasonable. We recommend the Tasting Room to anyone, and we will be coming back.

Great place to hang out and drink some delicious wine. They have a representation of some wine from their CA vineyard as well as offerings from around the world (if you're feeling adventurous I definitely recommend the Georgian orange wine). The servers are super friendly and happy to talk to you about the menu in depth, and the space itself is really relaxed without being stuffy. I'll definitely be back.
