“I am a local wine tour guide and very familiar with the caliber of wines AND the off-the-charts expertise wine knowledge of the staff at Bacchus and Venus. (If you're extra lucky Eva will be serving you :) Was recently reminded of the gem that this place is when I popped by. Minutes from San Francisco, but carrying those legendary and desirable wines from the famous wine regions several hours drive from here. Sonoma, Napa, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara- all in here in this gorgeous wine room. (If you don't have the time to go there, go HERE.) I have also seen how well they take care of those who may not consider themselves major connoisseurs, but simply have the requisite curiosity. Those folks seem to leave with a smile- likely not just because the wines taste so good- I suspect also due to feeling a bit further enlightened in the finer things...“

“We heard so much about this place, we came over from San Francisco specifically to try it out! What a perfect spot to have a taste of some amazing wines and an array of incredible cheeses and crackers. You walk inside and it’s a little shop with a bar counter on the right. You order what you like and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view!! I am so looking forward to coming back on my next visit. Make it a point to stop in, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“Sitting at the corner of the restaurant with the view of sale boats, it really feels like sitting at the European harbor. Super relaxing. Sunset is amazing here. Because this is the only restaurant here, it is super quiet. Food is excellent and deserts are delicious! It’s a great place to spend some slow time to dine.“

“finest ravioli I've had in years and the best bruschetta I've ever tasted. pleasant surroundings, great staff. I hope to return soon to taste some of their other dishes.“

“Food was so good and the service was great!“

“So excellent food! The food didn't disappoint me and it was really fantastic. The overall quality was so good. Came here for dinner with my husband. Can't remember the name of the food we ordered but we actually have some pasta, salads, and meat too. Dessert was so superb and well-done. The appetizers were really delicious. They lots cocktails. The wines were taste so amazing. The service was so nice. The place has classy vibe inside. Great interior setting with a nice decor. Nice service.“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“Really good pizzas! Loved the crusts and the sauce.“

“Aziza is one of our top three restaurants to go to. The food is always incredible and delicious. The cornbread is to DIED for. We also loved the kefta. Though not a fan of them changing the presentation of it from these little balls to a single log. It's hard to order it as a shared dish. #bringbackthekeftaballs. Besides that, two thumbs up.“

“This is the second time we’ve been here and been absolutely obsessed with the food and drinks. Everything is amazing. We live 2 blocks away and our only complaint is that we havent discovered this restaurant until recently. I will definitely bring all my visitors “

“What a night... the server Johnny, was amazing. I couldn't have asked for anyone better. He was attentive, and came with a great sense of humor. Great hire and it would be a shame if y'all ever gave him up. Keep in mind this was my first time here and what an impression he left on my family, will be back soon again. Thank you Johnny and thank you Sorella.“

“Lovely friendly Italian wine bar and delicious restaurant. Fresh innovative salads, pastas and main courses. Highly recommended.“

“Took a while to get a table and there’s not much seating inside, but we got the coziest little table by the kitchen. The spicy tomato pizza is insanely good! The rosemary pizza was solid but I felt that it needed more salt. Staff and vibe are great. Highly recommend“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.“

“Absolutely fantastic! The lemon ricotta pancakes are to die for. Literally! I'd take a bullet for them. Their business model and employee pay structure truly is inspiring and stands out in our Capitalistic land of greed and self-centeredness. Oh, and full brunch menu on a Friday afternoon?? Yes Please!“

“It's a natural wine bar but I would come back just for the food--it was really excellent. I love the small plate format with many seafood and veggie options. Everything we had was good but the trumpet mushrooms in particular was salty, sweet, spicy, crunchy, umami, just so good. Also like the cozy, neighborhood vibe. They have sidewalk tables as well that I imagine would be nice on a warm evening.“

“Fantastic food and a great menu with something for every foodie“

“Among many excellent Italian spots in the city, this stood out. The homemade pasta has the perfect texture, and the fillings and sauces are delicate and wonderful. Service was kind and attentive, and the space - a favorite when it was Locanda and Ancora - remains intimate and elegant. Looking forward to another opportunity to dine.“

“I've been coming to Canela for years and it never disappoints. I've been with just one or two friends, and have been here in larger groups when celebrating a birthday or other occasion. The staff is always engaging and the service superb. I often go for some favorites, such as the chicken croquettes, but also try new dishes as well. I don't think I've ever had anything that wasn't flavorful. We got pretty stuffed on this last visit and sadly had to skip dessert. I recommend that everyone who goes here tries to save some room. They have wonderful desserts and their churros are a must!“

“The salmon was unreal. Got it on my avacado toast. Will for SURE be going back just for the salmon. Everyone absolutely loved their food. My boyfriend said it was the best BLT he ever had. The owner was super friendly and helpful! I think the tumeric latte was too adventurous for me but otherwise the regular cappuccino was good“

“We had a reservation and waited a bit to be seated. I thought there were mostly solid hits and some lackluster items. Bread and crudo were amazing. Risotto a bit under. Dry pork and potatoes but great sides to the pork. Complex desserts were a great way to end the night.“

“Great service and ambiance. Place where there are great places to sit for a quick coffee, go heads down on your laptop, or have lunch with a small team or group of friends.I was not blown away by the coffee or food I tried, but was decent and made up for by the rest.“

“We started with the crispy sticky rice salad with sour pork sausage and ginger. Spicy! Good tasting, but a tiny bit over salted. The chili lime grilled squid and pork jaw was absolutely fantastic. We also had the crispy chicken with spicy curry paste and pole beans. The lemon zest on top was delicious. Highly recommend this place in the iconic hotel kabuki in Japan town.“

“Very nice dining environment“

“What a lovely place! From the beautiful space with high ceilings and natural light to the delicious food, we had such a wonderful experience dining here. We had a Wednesday night reservation at 6:30pm and upon arrive the main dining room was fairly empty. With that being said, it gave us time to appreciate the space and all of the beautiful details. While I was wrapped up mostly in great conversations throughout out meal, everything we ate was so tasty! From our beautiful and vibrant amuse bouche to our final bites of dessert, not only did we leave full but also satisfied. Among my favorite bites ordered: Wood Fired Flower Bread, Crunchy Shrimps and the Manti dumplngs were among my favorite starters. As for the entrees, I could have done without the Wheatberry Risotto, but the Branzino and Lamb Chops are standout dishes I would definitely order again without hesitation! I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but as a group we ordered the Turkish Donuts which I had a taste of. The dessert was rich and decadent (and not overly sweet!) I'd recommend Taksim to just about anyone for a range of occasions and dietary accommodations. They have a little bit for everyone and with their excellent service and high quality of food, it's hard to go wrong!“

“The food is artisan caliber, the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, and our family GOTO!! ❤❤❤❤❤“

“Beautiful ambiance. Great food!“

“We had a company party here and it was fantastic! The food is great and the staff made it super easy and fun. This is a great place for date nights, dinner with friends and parties. I can't wait to go back soon!Vegetarian options: Great vegetarian options here. The patatas bravas are really good and if you eat cheese, the cheese plate is delicious.“

“We had my wife's birthday there for a group of 15. The food was great, the service outstanding (Kira was our server and the rest of the staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming) and the general vibe was on! Highly recommend!“

“A place on 24th St., the salvation to have a coffee, eat a good sandwich, have a beer and if you like everything Italian you will find it here! The guys are very friendly and the owner can't even speak of, I really liked it, I recommend it!“

“Wonderful, cute wine bar in the Excelsior offering daily wine flights and select teas/coffee. They specialize in natural wine and every bottle I've tasted there was delicious and interesting. Prices are super reasonable, especially given SF and inflation. And, there's even a 15% discount for healthcare workers and educators! Service is down-to-earth, friendly, and attentive. They also offer a unique wine club membership which I appreciate has various degrees of commitment--even as low as twice a year--with nice perks like 10% off all in-house purchases and no corkage fee on bottles purchased and consumed on site. Truly, a gem in San Francisco!“

“Been here a few times for drinks or a happy hour and SF Wine Society is a gem. It has a fun bocce court, is well decorated with a sense of atmosphere, and the folks here really know a lot about wine. And as random a compliment as this is to give, the bathroom here is seriously decadent, beautifully designed and fancy??? I think that alone is a testament to the care put into this place. All the food is really delicious so I recommend getting something to go along with your drinks!“

“Very good food, wine and ambiance“

“It’s been 4 years since we last ate at Heirloom and it’s just as good if not better than before. This little charming place with its tall ceilings and old timey aesthetics reminds me of New Orleans. The menu is constantly changing to reflect the season and has something for everyone. The wine menu also has many wines by the glass and are generous pours. The presentation and preparation of the food was a delight and delicious. Service was also great and was quick to offer tastes of wines when I wasn’t sure about which one to order. The 3 course tasting was $100 with excellent wine pairing and could be ordered even if others were ordering a la cart. I’m always surprised Heirloom doesn’t receive more accolades, but sometimes it’s nice to have a gem like this keep its neighborhood feel.“

“My first time here, everything was great. My only complaint was its very crowded meaning that the tables are very close together. Our waiter said he has been working there for 20 years. That's impressive. Overall, it's a great spot. The food is wonderful, the other 3 I was with got the roasted chicken and I went with the steelhead.“

“Stopped in with my buddy before a Warriors game. Place is open, spacious and well lit so it's very inviting. We quickly found a seat at the bar for two about 20-30 min before game time. Ordered a few beers (great beer selection) and were sipping on drinks within 10 minutes of waking in the door. People sitting next us at bar were friendly and bartender (also part owner) was extremely helpful and attentive while we're there. We had already eaten but food on menu and at people tables looked very good. Will definitely make sure to stop by here next time I'm in the area with a little more time to dive into food and wine/beer menu.“

“Had the white wine and the Gabagool — it was a treat!! If you can, try to sit the corner where the sun hits you.Service and vibes are similar any other bougie wine bar, with excellent waiter recommendations on food options.Will go again!!“

“This place is a (somewhat hidden) treasure! I went in to get some help choosing wine for a get together and ended up staying to enjoy the delicious happy hour bread, cheese, and wine in the back patio. I'll be back - and I'll bring some friends!“

“Very authentic Thai food. Casual environment. Love their dessert and the shrimp paste fried rice.“

“Their private label meritage was wonderful!“

“Lovely place. Delicious food and great, interesting cocktails in a warm, inviting environment. We had a very nice brunch and I can't wait to come back. Finally got to try Shakshuka (which I saw on the Real Housewives of NY, haha). It was very tasty! ?“

“I highly recommend this place for authentic and delicious Indian food. My favorite dishes are the following: 1. Butter chicken - chicken very tender and juicy, sauce tastes so good especially with the naan bread (they should bottle the sauce and sell it!) 2. Yellow dal - we enjoyed this dish. ordered mild spice but next time will order medium spice as we want a little more heat. 3. Appetizer Samosa - comes with 4 per order, generous amount of filling with potato and green peas. It was a little spicy. Comes with 2 dipping sauces - green sauce and sweet sauce.“

“Small wine bar in the heart of Russian Hill. Perfect spot for 2-3 people, since most of the seating is bar seating or communal tables. All the servers are knowledgeable about the wine selection and always have great recommendations. I love their orange wines and all the food is amazing. They make beautiful cheese plates and pair the cheeses perfectly with jams and honey. If you can't decide what cheeses to order, tell them what you like/dislike and they will curate the perfect board for you!“

“My friend and I had the BEST time here Saturday night!!! The service was amazing and everyone helping us was incredibly friendly and kind. Our servers went out of their way to make us feel special and were so much fun to interact with. They even came running out of the restaurant after us to give me my phone that I had left on the table by accident! Highly recommend - great atmosphere, delicious eats, fabulous time!“

“Cute little Hayes Valley wine shop, with excellent accompanying bites (charcuterie, cheese, dips). Quaint backyard oasis patio — perfect for catching up with friends or a first date.Highly recommended for those seeking a low-key and unique side to San Francisco.“

“First, the good: good wine, knowledgable and friendly staff, yummy snacks!I really want this place to succeed which is why I'm writing some constructive feedback! I recently moved to the neighborhood and have been looking for my cozy neighborhood wine bar to hang out with with a few friends or to read a book. I WANT this to be that place, but after going a few times there are just a few things that don't make me eager to go super often or recommend to friends, but I think they are easy to improve!Areas for improvement:-coziness and seating for smaller parties. The place is tiny and I get that! But the majority of the seating is 2 large tables that seat ~6 people. I guess in theory the tables could be communal but generally wind up seating 1 medium-larger group, so I feel weird grabbing a seat at them.When I show up on my own that means I have to sit at the bar or at one of the window high top stools (which have no back rest). Last time I was there I brought a book and after ~30 mins was getting back pain :( I would've stayed for a second glass of wine but decided to head home instead. A few comfier chairs or smaller tables that seat 2-4 (and could be pushed together for larger parties) would make me a lot more likely to go more often/stay for longer.-in a similar vein, the lighting inside at night is somewhat cold. A little bit warmer/cozier lighting would make the place feel more homey. Again, only sharing this in the hopes that this feedback is helpful! Would love to see this place continue to grow and succeed :)“

“We enjoyed the most delicious meal. Authentic Italian cooking with wonderful attention to detail. I started with a salad of pear and radicchio. It's not pear season so I expected an unripe pear with minimal flavor to be honest. But I love radicchio so went for it. The pear was juicy and tender. What a delicious contrast to the crunchy radicchio and mustard vinaigrette. If that much care is given to the salad you can imagine how delicious the rest of the meal was. We left our plates scraped clean. ? They have a fabulous and affordable wine list and the staff make you feel like longtime friends. Our table was flanked by devoted regulars who were effusive in their love of Chef Valenti's talents. We could see why! We went on a busy weekend night and they never made us feel rushed to turn the table. For sure this is the best Italian food in san anselmo— but I'm just gonna call it. You can't get more delicious Italian food in all of Marin.“
