We were on our way to Cambria but stopped here for lunch at Morro Bay. Try the grilled wild king salmon on toasted ciabatta bread...it was so tasty. And the caprese martini salad was delicious! Love the fresh bufula mozzarella and basil tossed in olive oil with two grilled crostini on the side. We did a taste test a white... More

Good ambiance and views, wide selection of wines to taste at reasonable fee, friendly service. Light appetizers and food offered. The food specials are typically very good. Rendezvous for hors d'oeuvres (too bad the French don't have words to express that thought).

A bright, sophisticated wine bar. I was looking for a gift bottle and in spite of being absolutely slammed, the hostess took time to help me find just the right one. I'm not a wine connoisseur but this is a fine bar/shop with good stuff.

I arrived before noon for wine tasting and some appetizers. There was only one other patron in the place so I thought I would get more one-on-one attention and more information about them as I sat at the wine bar. The server poured wine and read off the bottle label and left me alone but did make an effort to... More

we've passed this little shop on the Embarcadero any number of times, thinking it was a tasting and wine shop only, when a friend suggested we meet there for a light dinner one night. To our surprise, it was perfect. Cheese, tapas, and tastings. Cozy, and Conducive to conversation. Very attentive service. Nice 'featured' dinner special 'with or without wine'... More

We had passed by this place several times than finally stopped in for their wine tasting. What a nice surprise. No pressure to hurry or buy. Very informative of not only the wines but what was going on locally. Had two plates with the wine tasting. The Gourmet Imported Olive plate and the Ultimate Crostini. If you are an olive... More

Walking the waterfront in Morro Bay one sees many, many fried fish establishments. We were very happy we walked a bit further and found Stax at the end of the street. Welcoming staff, a good guitarist playing in the corner and a really nice selection of wines and food made for a pleasant end to a long day of driving.... More
