Great ambiance, wine & food. My friends played music on Saturday and it made it really enjoyable! Can't wait for the weather to be better and enjoy the patio.

It's a good place to go and relax with friends while enjoying live
We ordered during happy hour. We tried the firecracker cauliflower and vegetable spring roll. They were both yummy dishes, but the servings are pretty small. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly. The wine rack on the wall was beautiful, but I was a bit scared if an earthquake had happened..

Great vibe, live music! Love their cocktails and risotto which is vegetarian. It is so hard to find vegetarian risotto.

Really enjoyed our time here. Sat outside on their lovely couches. Baked Brie and stuffed mushrooms were delicious. Server let me try one of the wines with which I was unfamiliar before ordering. This was good as the whites are heavy on Chardonnay, but I was happy with the Gruner Vetliner I tried.

Wonderful live music and service. Trivia night is fun and so is happy hour. My friends and I have gone here for years due to the service and food.

The food is great here, with a good variety of shareable plates and entrees. The service is casual and friendly, nice people. It's a fun place to hang out with friends and often they have live music which always provides a cool vibe.

Loved the ambiance. There was live music and food was very good especially Smoked Edamame and wings. It's good for wine but not for cocktails. Cab and Pinot Noir flights was ok. Currently they cannot serve hard liquor so cocktails are not that tasty. We were told after two weeks they should have necessary permits. Hopefully it will get better. Service was really good. I will go again after couple of weeks.

Almost like a tapas place since the servings are small including the dinner plates/entrees. Nice ambiance and not too crowded for a Saturday night. They also had a solo guitarist/singer.
Love this place! They have a great selection of wine and wine flights. They also offer really great happy hour deals that are actually worth it. I get annoyed with the $1 off at some places, but here they are actually good deals on both food & wine. The staff is really friendly and helpful in making selections and recommendations. It's really cute inside, and also offers good outdoor seating as well. Definitely recommend!

Pairings is the perfect Sunday afternoon meet up spot. Their great selections of wines, menu with a little bit for everyone,and staff who live to please their guests make it the gem of main st.
We had a special anniversary reservation and were excited to try the place. When we arrived, a lady at our table (having been asked to vacate) was having a rant about being seated ten mins late. She was very rude to staff, but as we weren't seated til five mins late, and then we weren't given menus for ten minutes we could sort of understand her sentiment. We asked a (very helpful) member of staff about one of the plates, and then ordered as he was there and we were aware our slot was ticking on.The food and wines were lovely, really well paired. It made us laugh that the chorizo was paired with the same wine as the vegan cheese but like magic it went very well with both. You can't have a vegetarian cheese with the vegan plate and they don't do a vegetarian plate but the vegan cheese was actually very good.We ordered a sparkling flight and the deserts with wine and they took so long we were asked to move to a really tight seat at the bar.Still 4* as the food, wine and experience is clearly amazing and the staff when you can catch them are really knowledgeable. However, the service is wonky as people who arrived after us were seated, given menus and served a lot faster than us so could enjoy their whole meal without being moved.The restaurant is also small and therefore loud, a woman with a very squally voice literally monologued for their whole slot which overlapped ours. There was a small break when a saint of a woman asked her to quieten down but for the whole of the rest of the meal we could clearly hear her reviews of airfryers and charity auctions. It was a shame that staff didn't intervene as she was clearly disturbing other customers.It seems like it's maybe slightly more popular than they can handle, but understandably so as while it was a bit stressful it was a great experience.Vegetarian options: Clearly catering towards the more trendy vegan market but there is solid vegetarian options still.

Risotto, salad, and flatbread were good. Entree salmon dish with mashed potatoes wasn't palatable. Dish sat in the middle of the table clearly indicating it wasn’t being eaten yet neither the waitress nor the matradee inquired. Wines were ok but not what might expected by the name or price.

Fun place for a casual lunch. Inside or outside. The chicken sandwich was tasty. The baked brie made a great starter.
