First time here and definitely not my last. Sat at the bar with the gf for her bday. Great service, cool atmosphere with strong European vibes. Tasted our way through the menu and everything was delicious. Menu seems to change seasonally so there is always a reason to go back. Great work.

I am so happy I found this restaurant. The food, wine, service and atmosphere are OUTSTANDING! Especially the pea salad. It is an hour drive from where I live or I would eat there at least once a week.

May 2025: I just loved this precious surprise tucked under the hundred-yr-old ficus trees that line Verdugo Road. Windows boarded by day like the streets of Madrid during siesta, I had no idea what a beautiful restaurant & wine bar hid behind these doors. A total treat. Impeccable service, quiet indoors, swanky garden patio in back. Will try that next time. Wonderful night out, beautiful food and drink but most neat was being seated indoors “under a tree”. Thank you Wife and thank you Somm. jennifer, new to the hood ~

There are some restaurants I go to that are just staples. When friends of family visit from out of town, I take them to these places. When we want to have an event/party, I look at that list. When people ask for recommendations, these handful of restaurants immediately pop into my head without hesitation. I love eating at these types of restaurants because the staff is amazing, the menu is well-planned, the food is exceptionally prepared, the wine list is unique and well-curated, and the owners of the business take care of their staff and take pride in their restaurant. Wife and the Somm is at the top of this list. I love it so very much. The staff makes you feel like family. They are all smiles and the environment makes it feel like your food is prepared with the love from your mother’s own kitchen. The plates of food are not only delicious, but they are plated with finesse and all of them their own little works of art. The wine pairings are truly thought out and the recommendations by the Somm are always on point. If you’re looking for a unique, lovely night out, where there’s something for everyone on the menu, look no further. And also, do me a favor, and have a slice of the cheesecake. It’s not just cheesecake, it’s divine.

The wine pairing option is a must. The food is exquisite and the selections of wines are spot on. The sommelier knows details about the wine's profile as well as the history of each vineyard. We can't wait to go back and try the regular menu and experience some of the amazing wines listed on the wine menu.
