    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.

    Noise level from the trains (intermittent) in the late afternoon is significant when sitting outside, but everything else was terrific!

    This was our 1st time to Savvy wine cellars. The wines and the food was very good. The menu could be a little bigger to provide more variety. Our server, Dalia, was knowledgeable and so personable. She made us feel very welcome and we plan to come back.

    Went on Mother’s Day and had an absolute blast! My mum and I did the customized wine flight and the bogo sangria and mimosa! All were so good! We also got the cheese and meat charcuterie board and the Parmesan truffle tater tots which were delicious!! We sat outside on the patio and it was a beautiful day! Highly recommend!

    Incredible service, fun atmosphere, and great wine selection. We got to try multiple wines through their flight, and they even gave us free dessert at the end! We’re new to the Bay Area and the manager was extremely friendly and gave us all kinds of recommendations for what to do while we’re here. Would highly recommend!!

    The reopening with new owners has worked out quite well so far. Great selection of wines, a welcome increased selection of beers, and an expanded food menu. Looking forward to returning. It is a generally quiet place to talk, except when the trains blast their horns on the way by.

    The only downside to enjoying a nosh and glass of wine is the train whistle as the trains pull through the station. Not terrible, but can disrupt your conversation. Good wine list and tasty nosh plates.

    Thank you for your review! We appreciate your support and look forward to hosting you again. As County guidelines continue to change, we are hoping that we will be able to offer some indoor seating soon. Yes, we are located right next to Caltrain station which can be a bit noisy at times, but also a bit charming. :)

    Reservations are an absolute MUST. No one is there on a Thursday night and we're still told that our reservation is only good for 1 hour 15 minutes. I guess they don't want any customers at all. Other than that it was ok but nothing really gave me the desire to return.

    Savvy Cellar WinesResponded on October 9, 2020

    Hello and thank you for your feedback. Our current policy guarantees that all Reservations will have a minimum of 1 hour and 15 minutes. More time is offered when there are no other incoming reservations, and I'm sorry if that wasn't explained to you when you were seated. We do our best to keep it consistent and fair for everyone. Having only 6 outdoor tables makes it challenging for us right now, and we look forward to being able to host more people once County guidelines change. I'm sorry to hear that our current seating situation was enough for you to not recommend our wine bar to anyone. The policies will change eventually, so please feel free to check back. In the meantime, we ask for everyone's patience and understanding as we try our hardest to provide a great experience during these very trying times.

    Savvy Cellar is such a fun and welcoming place. We are so glad to be able to go back there again. They serve excellent wines (other drinks as well) and very good snacks, and all of the staff are delightful. If you want a glass of wine and a light snack, you should definitively give it a try.
