Excellent place to come after a hard day. Fresh drinks and delicious snacks (include a Vegan option). The place is nice, my favorite place was the bar top.

Awesome food, cocktails, and wine! Rich, who I think is the owner, was great too! Will be back

Decent neighborhood spot. Cheese platter seemed as if it was pieced together from a Costco kit? Not the worst thing in the world but also not particularly special. We did have a nice red blend bottle recommended to us, which was solid. It did get pretty loud at one point and it didn’t seem that

A cozy, classy and unpretentious hidden gem in the Excelsior. Nice wine list, great cocktails, tasty bar bites and small plates served by a friendly and fun staff.

My friend recommended I check this place out. What a wonderful experience. It is a very cozy homey space great wine, lasagna to die for, small bites and salad were excellent too and great company. Owners are super friendly and fun to chat with. Had to bring my husband there. He loved it as well. And a 20% discount happy hour is cherry on top.

I had totally underestimated this place and am so glad to have a lovely little neighborhood wine (and cocktail!) bar. The staff is super friendly. You can tell they want to build a community around their little spot, and with how welcoming and genuine they are, it won't be hard.Their red wine sangria is spot on. Four ladies with very different tastes enjoyed it. 4 stars.I was very surprised to see they had a cocktail menu! I love the names (Mission Terrace, Excelsior, the 29 - our local bus). I got the 29 Mezcal Sour - 4.5 stars. Lovely, excellent egg white foam. Smoky mezcal flavor, subtly sour. Loved it.
