5 Best Wine Bars near Benicia

“Me and a few friends went out 'bar hopping' - I'm sober personally - I had asked for a cup of coffee truly not expecting much at all.I shared with my best friend beside me and we talked about it all night. I don't say this lightly ~It was the best cup of coffee I have ever had~“

“This little wine bar is cozy, great service & ambiance. I was meeting up with a friend and showed up super early to our reservation so I popped into The Chill and tried the Riesling and Zin. Both were delish. Sat near the window & truly enjoyed the vibes here. No frills, no fuss just "chill" as the name suggests.“

“Spectacular !! Super fun. Great food. Bend over backwards to make sure your happy service. Love this place. Just not quite sure what to call it. Baxter’s - The Speakeasy - or The Office. Whatever they’re calling themselves, they’re great.Try the scallops . . . and the bread pudding.“

“I really love this place. This oysters bar is hidden gems in downtown martinez. As you know, it is so hard to find oysters bar in Contra Costa county. This bar located in the main street plaza. My husband and I are oysters lover and we are so happy to find this placeOysters were so fresh and tasty. Each week will have different kinds of oysters, you can call them to ask which kind of oysters they serve on that week.Clam chowder was so good, too. But we prefer it to be more a little bit salty. It wasn’t a big deal, we just add some more salt ourself.We went there during happy hour (Wednesday-Friday from 3-6 pm) we ordered “the mother shucker”, it comes with beer or other beverages (depending on your choice). With that $120 price plus $1 off on each oysters, it was really really good deal.Another thing we were impressed is all servers were so friendly, everyone was so nice. This made us enjoyed our food even more.We definitely recommend this place! we love to support small business!“

“We had a lot of fun at this restaurant. There were six of us. The food was very good, especially the salad bar (many, many choices, very clean, well-presented). Lots of variety of meats that were presented at the table but I heard that a lot of the chicken was dry. The sirloin, ribs, rib eye, etc. were excellent as was the garlic cheese bread (yum!). . There was no shortage of items when we first sat down, so that was great. Service was a bit lacking. Had to ask for several things twice, and this was at a time before the restaurant was really busy. Asked for salt and pepper, because they are not on any of the tables. Had to ask for clean plates several times. The desserts were huge and as it was my birthday, my dessert was free. Was nice that the wait people sang happy birthday to me. Although overall it was a good experience and I had a great time with my family, the tab was ginormous - $700 for 6 of us. Word to the wise, leftovers aren't permitted (i.e. no doggy bags). Would I recommend? Absolutely - however I can't afford to go very often.“
