<span style="color: blue;">The food looks yummy and they had a nice right up in the Register today. Has anyone tried it out?</span>
This is from the article today --
One of my favorite O.C. wine bars is the Main Street Wine Cellar in Seal Beach. What makes it so good? In addition to the owners? talents for sniffing out excellent wines and unusual varietals and labels for decent prices ($8 a glass for most vino), the place has a terrific food menu. Every time we go we?re impressed with what?s coming out of the kitchen.

Check out that menu on the Web site, which co-owner Chris Partlow warns is ?a little out of date.? Here?s what?s new and popular: swordfish tacos ($12), a warm homemade crabcake ($15), white truffle butter popcorn ($5). ?It?s a fairly large bowl, too,? Partlow told me. Something I will definitely order the next time I?m in: a warm crab po?boy sandwich ($15).
Main Street has been open since September of 2008, but Partlow says they?re making some adjustments because of the economic climate. ?Our prices have come down and we have a lot more inexpensive things on the menu.? He mentioned homemade pickles ($5) and hummus ($8).
Partlow also let me in on the latest:<strong> a new Happy Hour will be launched next week from 4-6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays. ?All of our $8-per-glass wine will come down to $5,? </strong>Partlow said.
Another thing I like about this place: <strong>If you buy a glass you can take a bottle of that wine home for $16</strong>. ?It?s a unique way to drive our retail business,? Partlow said. ?When you go to BevMo or Costco you?re picking something blind. But at our place, the cost of the glass of wine is deducted from the bottle price. You can get a glass and a bottle for $24.? You can also try that wine with decent food, which tells you how it will pair up.
