Swirl On the Square

We were on the hunt for a cute wine bar and here we are! In the heart of Livermore! An open concept with a quaint courtyard patio and the live music with an afternoon band rockin' out. This certainly makes for a great way to waste a few tour town hours.
A hidden gem was found  amongst the wine list, a Cremant de Limoux Rose. And poured by the  glass, just lovely.
We shared a the Mediterranean plate. It was not overly exciting. Service went down from here. oh well. If you are not looking for anything too serious a visit here is alright.... Perhaps once.

Love it! Thursday Karaoke and Trivia are the best!
I always have a great time.  Call ahead and reserve a table for you and your friends!
The wine is great, the food is great.
The staff are super nice and accommodating.  Spend enough time there and they will be your friends.
Sometimes, I have found the wine a little pricey but you can make it work for a budget by sharing a bottle with friends or buying a beer.  They will even let you take in a beer from Tap 25 across the way if you are not so into wine.
Definitely a place to check out.  Great vibe

Friendly place that accepts families with kids.  Wine flights were only ok (reds were too warm- hello!!!! cellar temperature!)  Food was so-so.  The menu sounds good but execution is hit or miss (carnitas sandwiches were good). What really grossed me out was the roast beef.  A piece slid out of the bun and I got a good look and it was glistening rainbow.  Ohhhh, rainbow meat in a restaurant?   Totally nasty.  I expect it at the LLNL cafeteria, but GROSS.  Everything else was ok to good.  I do not get the rave over the secret cake?  It's nearly burnt vanilla yellow cake.  So what?  Nothing special there.  

Summary-- decent wine/food options in a cool location.  But don't make a special trip for either the food or wine.  Underdog is WAY better.  Will compare to Double Barrell soon.
