Tucked away on Depot Street, this sweet restaurant is not one to miss!
"While exploring downtown, we spied an interesting place tucked off a side street and peeked in its windows, Stemwinder bills itself as a wine bar with small plates. Later, after enjoying a predinner cocktail at our motel, we stopped there again on our way to dinner and decided to share a glass of wine. Somehow, that detour turned into ordering two glasses of rosé ($8 and $10) and a few freshly shucked oysters ($3 each) with just 13 minutes until our dinner reservation. Sitting at the bar, even briefly, was a convivial experience, and neighboring guests spoke glowingly of the food. The butcher-paper specials list on the wall was tempting — especially the shrimp stew with fennel two ways and the garlic-griddled bread — but we'd already pregamed more than enough. Next visit."
