    Went for the Valks finale and was blown away with the food and the service! The red pepper feta dip & cauliflower are don’t miss dishes. We also love the Tagliatelle and the Fried Chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce & Cole slaw. Such a fun and vibey spot!

    Great meal. Delicious food, great wine, and a wonderful atmosphere. We have sat at the bar and also a table and enjoyed both experiences, although they are different in a good way.

    This was our first visit and we were there to watch the Valkyries game. The service was attentive and friendly throughout the evening, despite their being at capacity. The wine selection was great and the server was very knowledgeable about the choices. The food was all very good; the trout dip was a standout.

    A rather surprising wine tavern, as they call themselves; though it's a concept that is starting to catch on. A decent well priced wine list and more food options than you would expect. The highlight here was the kale salad which exceeded my expectation in how well all the ingredients worked together. Second up was the outlandishly sized pork chop. It also was very good but it would have been a bit too much if not for the excellent suggested wine pairing. Don't be afraid of asking your server for suggestions! The mushroom soup was the only disappointment largely because it was salted to the point of hiding much of the mushroom flavor which wasn't particularly strong to begin with. Be prepared for a busy evening should a popular game be in play (e.g. the WNBA Valkyries). At other times it's pretty relaxed. Pricing is very reasonable for what you get. Refreshingly, the final bill includes everything so you don't need to calculate a tip. While I would prefer the service charge be rolled up into the menu prices (i.e. European method), it's a reasonable alternative. This is a gem in an otherwise chaotically diverse Mission food scene.

    We have been a few times. Very warm inviting staff. Wines are very good. Food is great for a wine bar. It can get very loud when it’s busy. We will be back.

    Two dishes really stood out: the Beef Pibil and the Cucumbers in Green Goddess dressing with mint and bottarga. The wine list was excellent and filled with surprises. Recommended.
