On a return trip to Morro Bay in early March, five of us went here on two nights and love, love, love it! One night we split a bottle of delicious wine and had the yummy cheese platter, and the second night another bottle plus a few dinner dishes. Each night we were treated so nicely, and given free dessert to celebrate the birthdays. Great staff and even live music one night. Go Stax!

Loved this place. A great wine bar with a large collection. What made a difference was the service. We had come in late when the kitchen had closed. Tammy still entertained our order of the cheese plate and rushed to the kitchen to grill the bread while the oven was hot. Definitely didn’t expect it when the host had explicitly mentioned they could serve any food at all given the kitchen was closed. If one can adapt to the situation for such customer service as Tammy did, it definitely deserves mention. Thank you!

Don’t miss a chance to stop in and enjoy. It’s a must any time you are close.
Thank you for making my birthday and amazing day.

Our favorite place in Morro. Stax stands alone in it’s uniqueness. Superb variety of wine options, always fun to taste new suggestions from their knowledgeable staff. Professional and warm service has ALWAYS been our experience in this quaint spot. The food is delectable as well as eye pleasing… (we’re suckers for beautiful presentation and Stax never disappoints!) Fellow imbibers and foodies, don’t hesitate to visit!!!

We are not wine people, but after seeing the olive tester plate figured we could find something to drink at Stax. Indeed, we did. Wife got an 805 beer, and I was lucky enough to find that this place served hot tea. Olives were great! I am going to subtract a star though. Not due to anything service related, but due to the bathroom lay out. Opening the bathroom door from the inside is a bit tricky, and is a hazard to the staff and other customers. It opens right up against the hallway leading from the kitchen to the wine room. This was such poor planning, and it was expressed to me that almost every day someone hits a member of the staff opening that door. Not ok for any staff to be in any danger due to a door placement.

Good wine selection and prices… only downside is that they don’t have good viewing of the rock or outdoor seating. Otherwise, service was great. ambiance was cozy, and it is a great place for a date or to catch up with friends.

This place is very cool! Walked in on a Monday evening on our way to San Francisco. Best choice ever. We went for the wine tasting they had on the menu and got to try some of the wines from around the area. I must say what made this experience very very nice was our waiter. Can’t remember his name but he was very knowledgeable about all the wines told us a little about the town and had just casual conversation with us. We ordered a few dishes and they were all great my fav was the crab cake. If you ate going to have dessert the crème burlee cheesecake was amazing !

Chill, relaxing spot at the north tip of the embonkadarko or whatever it’s called.
BONUS: the fan that pushes the flies out when the door opens. We noticed flies in some of the neighboring businesses, not the «jump on your food and rub their hands together kind» or the «land on your face like you’re a donkey» kind, but the «it’s hot out, so let’s all meet in the center of the room like fat girls on a dance floor and fly in small circles» kind. Even at the bar you seem some outside wanting to come in, clawing at the picturesque long window like it’s Woodbury.

Nice wine bar. Clean and modern. Relaxing. Good view. Good wines. Some new ones I’ve never tried or heard of. Check in on Unilocal for a 2+1 coupon!

Stumbling across the beautiful seaside town of Morro Bay was exciting in itself, but of all the places we stopped in during our visit, this was my favorite.
We were beckoned in by the $ 2 mimosa sign out front… kind of hard to pass up that deal.
Inside, the seating is comfortable and the ambiance is (dare I say) chic. After two rounds of mimosas, we order up a shrimp cocktail (which is an insanely good deal because you get a gang of shrimp for, like, $ 10 — picture below). I check in on Unilocal and notice a buy one get one free deal for wine tasting, so we take advantage of that too. The wines in the tasting are all great, so we buy a few for the road.
I’m excited to come back soon and try some of the other appetizers and new wine selections.

One of my favorite chill places in Morro Bay. I love the specials. I am gaga over the Caprese Martini. Prawns, Oysters, and crab… Fresh as can be.
Lovely Wines list and a stellar bottle shop make this a great place to relax, unwind and enjoy.

Perfect little cozy wine bar by Morro rock! My fiancé and I are celebrating our anniversary and it was the perfect romantic little spot. They have a tasty tapas menu with cheese plates and olives. We had the ultimate crostini, a panini and also did wine tasting for two !
Overall very enjoyable experience and we will definitely come back on our next visit

Buena variedad de vinos de USA y precios. Además, si no terminas una botella te la preparan para que te la lleves a casa. El servicio normal pero el local es cómodo y tranquilo. Dan también algo de comer pero no lo he probado.
