   Service was incredibly poor. We waited 40 minutes to get drinks. Food was cold by the time it got to us. Our server seemed so frazzled that she was barely able to keep up with the order and also had very little empathy for the wait time. We had to ask for water multiple times. Overall a really underwhelming experience.

   Unhappy and surly staff, extremely uninspired food execution and tiny, tiny tables make for a poor experience. The space is charming and feels as if you just might have a European cafe moment right here in SF bit sadly the execution falls short. I really want this place to be great, the potential is here, but the owners need to step up and fulfill that potential. We won’t go back, I wish this place were awesome. If it were we’d be regulars!

   Cute place but the charcuterie plate was a big disappointment. Crackers were stale, cheese was ok but not special, etc. service was good. They advertised two Pino’s but only had one available. For a wine bar very limited selection.

    Beautiful spot. Great snacks. Great bottles of wine, for a good price. My only complaint is the uncomfortable seating indoors. If the weather is good, sit outside.

    I loved the menu but my friend was still hungry after our meal. It was very busy. There were only 2 servers but they were gracious and apologetic about service being slow. We were never served one item we ordered. But I would go back, the wine was excellent, I wanted to try more items from the menu and I loved the ambiance!

    It's a cozy joint with an excellent wine list and so-so food. The apricot/date dish was incredibly meh, with 3 tiny, dry apricots and 3 tiny half-dates, served in a large plate that made the price gouging even more obvious. We shared a mushroom pizzetta that was very good (just needed a tad of salt to enhance the flavors). We did enjoy the service and attention, and our waiter never rushed us, which was nice as we were catching up with a friend that we hadn't seen in over 10 years! Go for the wine, maybe the salad (which looked good) and the relaxed atmosphere. Then walk down Hayes Street where you will find lots of great restaurants.

    The space is cute inside but pretty small which makes it loud. There seemed to be only one person attending to all the tables. We had to ask for water several times, it took about 20 minutes before our drink order was taken, and the food was just average. The pizza was smaller than a normal personal pizza (probably the equivalent of a large New York slice of pizza) and it was almost $20… It was also a Sunday, so I imagine it would be a very poor dining experience on a weekend when it’s more crowded.

    We went here for Restaurant Week! It was fine but the food was nothing special. I thought they could be a bit more creative with their options (two of the few appetizer options were clam dip with potato chips or almonds with olives?) Heads up no cocktails, only beer and wine!

    This is a great neighborhood wine bar. Not fancy or pretentious, servers are friendly and accommodating. We decided not to eat and they were completely cool and let us stay at the bar until we were ready to leave. Wine selection is B+, prices are appropriate. Would come back.

    It was busy in a Friday night; the staff did a great job covering the many tables, both inside and out. It was Restaurant Week, so we tried the prix fixe, though we originally planned to come for drinks. The menu items were more like appetizers than actual courses. The white bean and tuna salad was a great part of that; the flatbreads however tasted like store bought frozen pizzas.

    We had outstanding service here and happened to arrive during restaurant week. All of the wines are a great price point especially for San Francisco & 2 on the list are even made by the owner of the place! It feels like a quaint Parisian cafe. The pizzetas, salad and sourdough bread on the appetizer menu were delicious. We would 100% come back here next time we visit SF.

    Absolutely love this place! Wonderful cozy spot at Linden Alley - and great for Hayes Valley people watching. Where to start - menu selections are perfect fits for the imaginative, small yet expansive - and well priced! - wine list. Charcuterie plate the hands-down best in SF. Staff - particularly Oscar - are warm and welcoming. Just the perfect place to while away an hour in Hayes Valley. Not a bad idea to book ahead - we did for a 4:15 Saturday outdoor table and everything was full up by 5:00 with a happy crowd enjoying a perfect start to the evening. Look forward to enjoying Linden and Laguna with everyone I know!

    We just had a flat bread with a few glasses of pretty good wine at a decent price. The service was excellent. It was perfect for what we went there for. If you want a full menu of food, thi is not the place. If you're looking at meeting up with friends for a few bites and good wine, well you could do a lot worse.

    A lovely quaint spot. The charcuterie was not as expected. The cheese was sliced - as in sandwich style and the blue crumbled. I think there is room for improvement with the cheeses --they were ordinary along with the small a tumble amount of tapenade - I don't recommend this. The chicken, white bean and kale soup was delicious. Wines scrumptous -- we had the Zinfandel.

    This place is one of the worst wine bars I've ever visited. First, for a wine bar, the selection of wine by the glass is subpar. Second, the food was a joke. Third, it was extremely cold inside. Oysters: the oysters were fresh, but the sauce that they came with was sad. It was just watered down sriracha. Stuffed apricots and dates: I don't think I've ever seen such a lazy dish at a restaurant. Contrary to what the name suggests, this "dish" is just six pieces of dried apricots and dates with a dab of cheese on top. You can definitely make this at home after last minute visit to your local corner store. Charcuterie plate: the plate that we got is definitely not like the plate in the pictures. It is as if they went to Trader Joe's and got some mediocre cheeses and cold cuts. What a sad experience. I don't understand how this place has such high ratings. We were fooled.
