kid sister A WINE BAR

As an out of town diner who was admittedly skeptical: this place made me believe in dining in Phoenix! Wow. Husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary with the friendsgiving prix fixe. The steak was perfectly cooked medium rare (and properly so!) and the foie gras butter was delicious. The starter - a scallop crudo with a hibiscus vinaigrette - was an out of this world first bite. Meanwhile we had 3-4 excellent wines from their list, recommended by our server for each course who also let us taste what we’d prefer. I’m recommending this to everyone I know in the area!

Truly an indelible experience - a one of a kind in Phoenix. The culinary offerings - unique, tasty, perfectly portioned and crafted with expertise. I recommend asking the story of how Kid Sister evolved - the owners are so passionate about what they’re doing. The ambience and scene: exceptional. It’s intimate yet lively and the perfect setting. The seasonal menus give me something new to try every couple months 🫶🏼

I had such a wonderful time at Kid Sister! From start to finish, everything was spot on. The food was absolutely delicious, the wine selection was incredible, and the service was warm and attentive. The ambiance is cozy yet elevated, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a night out with friends. I’ll definitely be back soon!

A simple, well designed restaurant and menu. The food, atmosphere, wine, and design are all well curated. The new duck dish is amazing- the pear and brown butter sauce is heavenly.

absolute gem of a wine bar. Incredible wine list and great food. Service was wonderful (especially as amatuer wine drinkers) and it made for a wonderful date night overall. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet, intimate, upscale-yet-casual dining experience. Only quip - you need to repot the Monstera plant by the kitchen - that guy has more than outgrown its pot (which is why roots are sticking out searching for new soil).

Tired of the same old thing? Then this is the place. Have you been to Europe and you want the same good quality dining experience? Then this is the place. Tired of eating at a restaurant where they are more concerned about "turning the table" so they can get the next customer in and a tip from them too? Then this is the place. Are you stuck having the same wine choice but don't know how to move on to other options? Then this is the place. Are you exhausted from being just another customer? Then this is the place. This is the place if you want a fine dining experience with excellent service and food so delicious that you dream about it after you've left the restaurant. Their menu is seasonal, so it changes. Their food is locally sourced and fresh. Their wine choices are unique, but their servers know their wines. If you ask what pairs well with something on the menu they don't just give you a recommendation, they ask what kind of wine you normally choose then they offer you a taste of their recommendation. If you don't like their choice they ask why and what are your preferences. And then they deliver a wine that soothes the taste buds and puts a contented smile on your face. If you have questions about the menu (remember, it's not what you'd find at other restaurants) they are happy to explain it to you and answer all your questions. I wouldn't recommend eating here if you just want something to stave off hunger. Instead come here when you want to share a meal with someone important. Or with someone who is extremely picky about their food. You'll impress them and leave a positive lasting memory.

First time dining at Kid Sister, what an inviting and chic atmosphere! Their food and overall experience is well thought out, so tasty and paired great with their drink recommendations. Happy to find a local gem and looking forward to our next return.

I visited this restaurant after seeing the glowing reviews from Eater, but unfortunately, the food was well below expectations & overpriced for what it was. I ordered multiple small plates, as one does at a tapas restaurant. The beets were fine, but nothing memorable. The anchovies, however, were genuinely unpleasant—which is saying something coming from someone who enjoys eating anchovies straight from the can. The duck was overcooked, and the accompanying sauce was so heavy-handed with sugar that it overwhelmed the entire dish. Using sweetness as a shortcut to flavor is a tired trick, and here it just felt lazy. If I wanted a meal relying on sugar to disguise mediocrity, I’d go to the Cheesecake Factory. The 2 stars I did give are solely attributed to the wait staff who were kind & attentive. Again, the food was a huge miss. Very disappointing.

Wow, did these guys exceed expectations! We were downtown for a cocktail-and-schmooze thing and decided to grab a bite afterward. The first restaurant we stopped at was unexpectedly closed, and this was within walking distance. Yes, the menu is small, but everything we ordered was delicious. We sat at the bar and received great service from the bartender. Killer wine options and great banter. The crudo was especially delightful. I was a little apprehensive about a new place with a tiny menu that you can't view online ahead of time, but I wholeheartedly recommend Kid Sister and we will definitely be back.

A wonderful place! Came with a small group and tried almost one of everything on the menu. The flavors blew me away with pairings I wouldn't have thought of. Such a unique and all around amazing evening. They can help with wine parings, and everything to even the desert was perfect. Wonderful service as well!

I've had my eye on this spot for a while now and the visit much exceeded my expectations!! Truly divine little spot. Amazing vibes, beautiful set up. The food was so lovely and perfect combination of flavors. The wines were delicious and there was so much knowledge shared with us! Thank you for a truly special spot!

Really fabulous experience here. Excellent wine list, really nicely prepared dishes, warm atmosphere and top-notch service. Highly recommend and can't wait to come back!

Food: we ordered the almond cake and it was okay Service: Dej was super nice and so helpful! Drinks: I ordered one of the white wines by the glass and it was delicious! I wish they had more wine by the glass options. Flight option could be cool too so you can try various Ambiance: very cute place, great for dates or a glass of wine before or after dinner Misc: not too much parking, prices were very high, $24 for a sandwich and $10 for a piece of toast with tomato on it. Definitely wouldn't eat here

Made reservations after seeing this on Tik Tok for 7pm on a Monday, and I'm glad I did! There is a small parking lot, but we had to street park and walk over as it was full. It's a smaller space so I think reservations for sure. Upon walking in loved the atmosphere. Very minimal but colorful decor - very trendy. The space is kind of tight and pretty loud so be prepared to kind of yell. There is a highly coveted lounge area with like a couch in addition to bar, table, and booth seating. The staff was top tier very attentive and knowledgeable. I'm not a big wine person and they walked me through the menu. I ordered Pan Con Tomate with optional Anchovies, a white wine, a kalimoxto, and a spritz. Everything was great . The only downside is the price of the food. The pan con tomate was $10 for essentially 2 pieces of bread which to be fair I really liked. However, I just find it hard to justify that price even if ingredients are quality or locally sourced. You could legit eat both pieces in 2 bites each. Also the tomato in my opinion seemed not that fresh possibly even canned? The bread was top tier though, and the Anchovies were great. Multiple people checked up on my table throughout the meal and everyone was fantastic though besides that.

I'm so happy this place exists... truly. Had a wonderful experience here, the food was as excellent as the wine if not better. The menu is dynamic - had their special straciatella toast which was the star, fried peppers, and a lamb burger. Also loved the interior and ambiance. I felt really cool hanging out in there.

We found this place while scrolling through yelp and im SO glad we came. the attention to detail and the service alone solidified my decision to come back. Casey was so sweet and truly made our dinner one of the best experiences! the food was just another perk to the night. everything was so delicious and exceeded our expectations. I can see why people may think it is expensive but I believe you get what you pay for. the quality makes it worth the price. the vibe reminded me of a few places I visited in Portugal, it was very cozy. im definitely recommending this place to everyone!

Such a good vibe here! The service was great. The wine selection was short but thoughtful. Their food was fresh and different than anything I've had! Loved the lamb burger. Get about 3-4 things to share between 2. I absolutely loved it! It's not the cheapest of places but it shouldn't be when you are getting high quality products. Make sure to grab a reservation on Resy!

My mom and I came for a mom/daughter wine night and we will 100% come back. Zac was an absolute gem explaining everything on the menu including its origins and his favorites. We both wanted different types of wine and he knew exactly what types to bring, surprising us with a smooth red and crisp white to start. We ordered the brocolli toast, marks sourdough, bomba rice and stracciatella. It was the perfect amount for two people and every dish exceeded the other they were all amazing. We ended with the rice pudding crème brûlée and we got treated to a little dessert wine pairing and it was so smooth. The interior was so cute and they play movies on their projector while you eat which was such a sweet touch. We will be back 100%!

When I say I'm obsessed it's an understatement. The dishes were crafted so meticulously and with absolute love. You look around and each guest has nothing but a smile on their face. From a girls night out to a family outing like I had. The service was impeccable, I don't think my glass was ever empty! The desert was by far my favorite, it remind me of home but in such a new innovative way. HURRY and get it while you can before the next masterpiece menu is out.

This place is incredible! Zac, Court and Isaac have brought the Parisian wine bar experience to Phoenix. The aesthetic of the restaurant is phenomenal. Zac is also super knowledgeable and willing to help guide you through their selection. I'll definitely be back to get further into their food menu. Honestly such a welcome addition to the Phoenix dining scene!

Exterior was simple and cute, made me feel like I was in LA. Interior was aesthetic as well, very colorful and quirky. It's a pretty small and cozy space that would be perfect for girl groups. Our server was very nice and helpful, she let us sample wine before committing to one. I'm not a big drinker but I really enjoyed the kalimoxto and the spritz. They were very light drinks, couldn't really taste the alcohol. The spritz was the perfect balance of sweet, bitter, and fresh. I normally hate red wine the kalimoxto (Mexican coke and red wine) was really good, kind of tasted like grape juice. We ordered the pan con tomate with anchovies to snack on, which I was kind of disappointed by. The tomato tasted kind of dull and it was pretty expensive for two pieces of bread. Overall, I really loved the vibe and the drinks. I didn't try too much of the food so I don't think I can say too much on that, but I would come back for the atmosphere. Service was great too.

Service that takes their craft seriously in an unpretentious, approachable way. Strike up conversation with the staff and you'll learn some thangs.

Excellently curated drink selection. Fresh, inspired food. A great place to enjoy a special meal and/or spend time at the bar with a libation.

Came for tapas and drinks - amazing!!! We had 2 of everything - great selection of seasonal dishes through the end of June! Service was great, food came out quickly, incredible ambiance. I am not a big fish gal but I tried both fish dishes and they were great! Highlights - Pane tomate , olives, andouille sausage croquettes!!! , whipped cream fraiche !!!! Orange wine!! Great new spot! Highly recommend

Just amazingly cool place for wine lovers. Sit at the bar and let Zac recommend his favorites; you won't be disappointed! The small plates are very creative and delicious.

The service, the incredible menu, the relaxed yet lively atmosphere of this place just work so well together to create a memorable culinary experience. Whether you're looking for something intimate for a date or somewhere to connect and enjoy as a group of friends, this place will deliver. The wine selection is so good that finding an option for almost every pallete is easy and the knowledge brought to service and selection is a fantastic touch. Do not miss out on sharing a few of the small plates!!! These bites pack incredible flavor and creativity! The menu changes seasonally and we had the best crudo of our life here. These aren't your mother's wine and tapas plates. Chef clearly wants to take you on a journey with your wine.

This wine bar is amazing one the owners mom and I are besties their small plates were very bougie but delicious I fad raw fish for the first time yummy the drinks were so light and delicious the other 2 owners were very nice and down to earth can't wait to visit again will definitely go back to this place

Incredible hidden wine Bar new gift to phoenix. A changing wine menu a seasonal food venue. I very special place with knowledgeable staff. Wines by the glass as well as by the bottle.

Absolutely amazing. Great wine selection even a couple beer selections. Cute atmosphere. We are definitely coming back

Such a cute wine bar! Super attentive service and delicious food and wines. Great for catching up over a drink. Love that their menu changes seasonally

Very impressed with food and vibes! Came for dinner on a Thursday night, the restaurant was busy but we were seated quickly. They have a small menu so we were able to try almost everything and shared between our party of 3. The standouts were the gnocchi and lamb for me, the sauces were incredible and I found myself dipping everything I could from all the dishes in those sauces! The pork was also delicious, again the sauces are just *chefs kiss*. We also ordered both desserts! The basil infused whipped Crème fraiche is a 10/10. This small, woman owned restaurant is a must try and I'm looking forward to coming back!

What a lovely Phoenix gem! We took advantage of The Kid Sister recent Friendsgiving event and were delighted by the entire experience. First the atmosphere...you feel like you are walking into your best friend's living room. Everything feels warm, cozy and casual. The servers and hosts seem like old friends who are there to ensure you have a fantastic time enjoying their passion with them. Then the food...truly flavorful and creative takes on traditional dishes. Every bite provided a totally new experience wrapped around a kernel of familiar comfort foods. And the wine list did not disappoint with a broad, but not overwhelming, list of selections with some unique Spanish wines we had not tried prior. We would love to return here every week.

Changing small plates menu, great wine selection plus a few beers. We have tried maybe six small plates, and loved each of them. Last time, we tried steelhead trout. Perfectly fileted, perfectly cooked. The beet salad I had was delicious. Small dining room, a little noisy (mostly hard surfaces), bar with maybe 8 stools, sofa abd chairs at one end, silent b&w movies projected on the wall. Friendly, helpful staff. We have already recommended Kid Sister to friends.

Not sure if I'm reaching but felt like I was being served differently compared to the other tables being served. Heard this place had great wine selection however I don't feel like this is a safe space for poc. Will definitely not be coming back.

Months ago, the sign for "Kid Sister" caught our eye during our drive home from work. For our anniversary, my partner and I finally made our way there and were greeted by a friendly staff. The concise yet thoughtfully crafted menu accompanying the wines immediately impressed us, setting the stage for what would be an enjoyable dining experience. With that said I wish there was more of a guided wine pairing menu. Our chosen entrees, the "Parisian Gnocchi" and "Tuna Carpaccio," exceeded our expectations. The gnocchi, was surprisingly light .The addition of fermented mushrooms and pine nuts elevated the dish by adding complexity and depth.The tuna carpaccio was a perfectly balanced dish between sweet, savory, crunchy, and spicy. The crème fraiche emphasized the chocolate notes in the Riesling and enhanced the desert. Our server, Casey, deserves special mention for their exceptional service and ability to curated a 10/10 playlist that complemented the ambiance of the restaurant perfectly. The experience was enough for me to create a yelp account after using the app for 7+ years

Dropped in here for last drink of the night. What a delightful surprise! We were greeted so friendly and graciously. Enjoyed a glass of Rose and the olive oil cake. They serve sparkling water from the tap. The atmosphere is a cool vibe. Good colors, comfortable furnishings, and beautiful people. Glad to have this place in the neighborhood.

From the service to the food, this spot does not disappoint! It's a must with your best girlfriends or a date night out, the owners take serious pride in their menu, food sourcing and wine selection and its shows in every element and bite! I highly recommend ordering several things and sharing to get the full experience!

The food menu is limited but everything we tried was delicious. We went on a Friday night and it was packed but the service was wonderful. I'd definitely recommend going here, however, it's fairly small so I wouldn't go with a large party.

We recently went to Kid Sister for their Thanksgiving prix fixed menu. Let me just say, it was AMAZING! We had the meat opition. The steak was perfectly cooked, the carrots were the best I've ever had, and the potato cake with salmon is craveable. The service made you feel like you were sitting in your friend's house around the kitchen table; like a true VIP. I would go back time and time again!

Had an amazing experience. Food were delicious and service was excellent! We felt very welcome and comfortable despite having little knowledge of wines. Its such a cozy place as well, perfect for date night. Definitely coming back and will recommend everyone to check this place.

The staff is friendly and the wine is fantastic. They are ready to do wine pairings with their food, on the spot. I had the pork, it was great. It comes with cabbage, and it's a great pairing in the red curry sauce. Intimate and fresh, the restaurant is cozy. A gem.

Place is small but cute. Owners are very present and cute. Wine is good. Food is too expensive. Parking is atrocious. The parking alone would deter me from going back.

yummy yummy food and drinks! on the pricier side! not a go to place, but a delicious place!

Fun atmosphere, nice wine selection and adventurous menu. Great service. You can feel the love.

Awesome spot! Wonderful service. We live nearby and have been a few times. Followed Zac from progress!

This is a new central Phoenix treat. Warm and inviting. Wine selection was excellent and service exceptional.
