Me and the wife disappeared for the weekend to a cabin in Telico Plains, and decided to stop for some grub on our way to the cabin.

Man, this was an awesome choice to try on a whim.

Beth, the owner, was absolutely fabulous. The vibe of the place is relaxing, the service is upbeat, and the grub is exceptionally fabulous. Nikki and Macy were awesome, and Beth’s husband Rob who runs the Mash & Hops pub next door was great to talk with.

So Meg got the spinch artichoke dip, I had the chopped BLT, and we tried out one if their mega meatballs along wuth several beers from the Madh & Hops.

Damn good dinner.

So damn good, we stopped in Sunday fir brunch on our way back, because Beth had just started serving tomato gravy.

Omfg, this was some of the best tomato gravy I’ve ever had.

So meg got the spinich quich, and I scored the breakfast casserole (eggs, cheese, biscuit, sausage) for bunch smothered in tomato gravy.

Let me tell you what….

Fat boy was freaking happy, and man did she knock it out of the park.

Well worth stopping in. Easy side trek if you’re heading to ride the Dragon or Cherahola Skyway. And If you do stop in, tell her Hillbilly sent ya.

A cozy wine bar with a fun dive-bar feel. Excellent wine selection and simple snacks. It’s tucked beside Mash & Hops—enter through the patio and look for the red door!

The atmosphere was okay. Unfortunately, they didn’t know much about the wines they serve. The owner was very short with the customers and seemed really annoyed by questions about the food or drinks. And then there was the gentleman than asked for help finding a chair. She turned around walked away and then was behind the bar complaining. Her exact words said were, “…find your own chair.” She didn’t like that the patio had filled up.
Beware, the prices charged are not always what’s on the menu. She handed us our check and walked away so fast I couldn’t say anything.
Although, if I were dishonest I could have lied about the wines we ordered since they weren’t on our tab.
Definitely won’t be going back.

Can u help me polish this restaurant review:The atmosphere and decor was welcoming, just perfect. You can tell that someone put a lot of effort and thought into every aspect of this restaurant. The menu was small, but full of plenty of delivious things. However, it was very dissapointing that for breakfast there were no alternative meats choices just pork. Sadly, as I am allergic to pork, I was only able to have a side of hash browns (cheese on top). I did added an extra star for the fact that the waitress puts some food on the site for me. The the food itself who was very well presented and at the right temperature. The food was very fresh but tastated plain or bland. I did added another star for the food being of good quality and fresh. I did hear from neighboring tables that the star of the show are the biscuits and that they have some of the best cocktails in the downtown area. Our waitress was FANTASTIC! And the service was SUPERB. I will be coming back, and trying out their lunch or dinner menu soon.

Can u use some unique wording

Here’s a polished version with more vivid, unique wording while keeping your honest tone:

From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and intentionally curated. The décor struck that perfect balance between inviting and refined—you can truly tell that someone poured thoughtful care into every detail of this space.

The menu was concise, but carefully crafted, offering a variety of tempting options. That said, I was disappointed to find that the breakfast selections only offered pork as the meat option. Unfortunately, due to my pork allergy, my choices were limited to a side of hash browns topped with cheese.

I did, however, add an extra star for the staff’s attentiveness—the waitress kindly set aside some food for me, which I genuinely appreciated. The dishes I observed (and what I tasted) were beautifully plated and served at the ideal temperature. Everything was undeniably fresh and of good quality, though the flavor leaned more subtle than bold, coming across a bit plain for my personal taste. I added another star for the evident freshness and ingredient quality.

I overheard neighboring tables rave about the biscuits, calling them the true star of the show, and several guests mentioned that the restaurant boasts some of the best cocktails in the downtown area.

Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal—attentive, warm, and professional. The service overall was superb and truly elevated the experience.

Despite the limited breakfast options for someone with my dietary restriction, I look forward to returning to explore their lunch or dinner menu soon.

This is a great gastropub in Cleveland, they have a big selection of wines, etc, and I loved the food we ordered. However, I thought it was overpriced. We had a great time during trivia night there though!

Tonight finally seemed like the perfect night to wander down to this adorable wine bar and check it out. I can’t even begin to tell you how phenomenal my experience was.

Upon entering, the patrons, the bartender and owner were incredibly friendly. Everyone in there seemed like regulars. They discussed the drinks with me, the food, and the events they have ongoing. I felt beyond welcome and appreciated.

I ordered the Mash and Hops, which seems to be adorably named after the beer establishment connected to The Press (this was also phenomenal and I will be leaving a separate review). To be clear for other patrons, you can’t bring your wine over to the beer side but you can bring your beer from the beer establishment to the wine side despite that they share the same patio. Just a good thing to know.

By the time I went over to order a beer, I came out and this delicious platter of salami, cheese, mustard, and warm pretzels with melted cheese was placed in front of me. It was so delicious and filling I couldn’t even finish it. It was also gorgeously plated.

I chose to sit outside on the patio. The inside was warm, cozy and super inviting. It will be wonderful in the winter. While sitting and enjoying the food and drink, members of the community came over and sat with me, introducing themselves. I can’t tell you how special that was for me. I was truly floored by the generosity of the people who own this place and patron this place regularly. I moved from Chattanooga to Cleveland last year and I really feel a sense of connection and belonging. This establishment made me feel a connection I have not felt in the longest time.

I can’t even wait to try brunch here. This will surely be my local go-to spot for food, connection, and delicious drinks.

Thank you for having me. I will be back!

The food was pretty good and the waitresses where very nice the only downsides where that they took 30 minutes to make us biscuits and eggs and my mama thought the food was to salty.

Great little eatery and wine bar, coordinating with Mash and Hops microbrew pub in the same building. Long and thin inside layout makes social distancing a snap. Outdoor patio dining also available.

This was a great find!! The service was personal and timely. Personnel go out of their way to assist you. It’s a true wine bar with multiple wine and beer selections. It’s a small menu with large and delicious portions. Beth,owner, is personable and knows what her customers want in food and drink. Prices are unbelievably reasonable. When you are in Cleveland TN this is a must for food. I did a dinner but the claim to fame is the weekend brunch with menu items you haven’t seen or eaten in awhile. I found this by internet chance and I will be back soon. You have to go and be part of this great experience!!!

Fantastic Sunday Brunch! We had the Biscuits and Gravy Casserole and the Blackberry French Toast Casserole. Both were out-of-this-world! This is the perfect setting to kick back and relax. While you are there, try the Mimosa Flight. WOW!
