We were there at opening time and staff was 10 mins late, and they did not apologize or say anything! Instead, they looked unhappy at working and being there - quite an unpleasant start. However the wine and later service was good and the appetizers were fun!

1st! Indeed my wine spritzer was delicious! & I love the historic building itself, very cozy…. Unfortunately no one there really seemed to REALLY know wine or was interested in giving me recommendations! I’d made a reservation that no one seemed to be aware of. The Parmesan popcorn I ordered was overpriced, stale & rather tasteless. And the ambiance was utterly ruined by blasting’80’s pop music and 2 large screen TVs. This place has sooo much potential presently being squandered!

They were closed even tho they showed availability. The only notice they showed was at the door when u arrive. They shouldn't advertise or show availability on sites if they don't plan on updating their hours.

We had a great time. Wine was great, food was really good and there was a great selection. Things were a little pricey. It was noisy near the train but overall I’d come again.

What a beautiful place I never knew existed. It seems that this new group of staff and owners are really striving to make lots of differences in their showing. A beautiful atmosphere and ambience paired with exquisite wine choices to satisfy any wine lovers palette mix that with tapa style high-quality dishes, makes for a lovely evening date night or any other occasion you can think of. I will definitely be back soon.

It was a Saturday at 5pm and the place is severely understaffed. Nobody in the restaurant was there to greet us after some time and an actual customer had to get up from his seat and be the one to tell us to sit anywhere. After awhile we were tended to, got the wine flight which was nice, decent selection of wines and local beers. Overall it took about an hour and a half to get our food, it's a little overpriced in comparison to other restaurants in regards to the amount of food that was plated. Didn't look at all like the picture featured on their menu which was a bit disappointing. The staff is kind when you had their attention, but they also seemed very confused about how things work and a bit overwhelmed running around. This place was okay to visit once but I don't believe I would come back again.

We had an awesome time last night there. Great wine and stupendous small bites. It made me feel like I was in Europe sipping wine in a small town. Definitely going back. I suggest trying the mystery wine flights. Let your host surprise you!

A friend and I celebrated Galentine’s here this year and what an experience it was! Just getting to the wine bar was a bit of a challenge (finding a way to get to Castro St, looking for parking— on a Wednesday!). We were actually late to the reservation but the place was about half full indoors. Nice and warm. The helpful host/wine connoisseur invited us to sit anywhere we liked. We opted to order via QR code and I couldn’t find a moscato di Asti. The house wine expert (sorry, I didn’t catch your name!) had me sample a German Riesling Spatlese and a heavier French dessert wine, I believe it was FR Chateau Grand Jauga Sauternes from 2018? Both were fantastic but I chose the Riesling for a lighter sip. To eat, we ordered the Margherita warm flatbread, cheese & charcuterie which includes bread, and the parmesan truffle tator tots. Delicious! The flatbread was so cheesy, tots were delightful, and the array of meats + cheese satisfying. Ambiance was wonderful! Lighting was dim with fairy lights bordering the inner second story walls. Music was soothing with cover guitar hits you’d normally only hear at fancy hotel bars. Seems like lots of regulars come near closing to unwind with a glass of bubbly as well.
