Our tasty deluxe cheese board was served on a handcrafted platter made from a wine barrel stave. Nice touch!...All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Great place to relax and enjoy the live music. We will be back.

Ambient: The place is comfortable, the...architecture of the place transports you out of Ensenada and in the night creates the perfect mood for a dinner for two. On weekends they have live music, and the group is truly great. Food: They have a limited menu compared to the one of the neighbouring wine cellar, the food is closer to tapas style rather than a formal dinner. Service: The staff is constantly looking forward to give their best, although they are not very knowledgeable of the wines they offer. Wine: They only have the house wines, and they run short when comparing the reds with other local wines in the same price range. I tried Entre Barricas and Brisas del Sur which I found quite full of aromas but quite plain in the palate. Run away from the rosè, it is a very salty wine (it taste like brine), having as a result a mask that ruins all the flavours you initially start to find when taking a sip from the glass. The Dulzura it is a quite nice oporto-style wine from what I tasted it is the best item in their wine list. Overall I would probably go back again in couple of years just to see how they are evolving their wine skills, and because the ambient is really good to have a good chat and a good time listening to the music. They close at 11pm so be there early, take cash with you as they don 't take credit cards.
