San Francisco Wine Society

We recently visited the Wine Society in San Francisco and had a mixed experience. The food was delightful, and the wine flights were well-curated and enjoyable. However, the service left much to be desired. From the start, we felt as though our business was not wanted. Our server seemed disinterested and unengaged. When we tried to discuss one of the wines we particularly enjoyed, we received no interaction or enthusiasm in return. It was disappointing to see a lack of passion for the wines they were selling, which unfortunately dampened what could have been a fantastic experience. Overall, while the food and wine flights were commendable, the service detracted significantly from our visit.

Wow the food is bad. And when we shared our thoughts they were almost offended that we insulted their food. Who serves ritz crackers with cheese/pate? The wine selection is great, really good wine. Also, they have a “new” area for Xmas which they call a “speakeasy” - but looks more like a depressing office xmas party. So I would suggest only going in if you can be in the main bar area.

Won’t complain about hyper overpriced wine (it’s still downtown SF) but service was quite cold, distant and snobby. Crab arancini was good though

Hidden gem. Fantastic service from an extremely knowledgeable staff genuinely concerned with their guests. An excellent selection of wines, reasonably priced in an inviting warm atmosphere. I spent a Saturday afternoon here and could not have been more pleased. Definitely a must try if you are in the area.

Superb venue with excellent service and wine selections. A true gem downtown on an little alley and so full of charm

Glass of wine--an amazing find in SF Financial District. San Francisco Wine Society is a hidden gem on Merchant Street [alley] off Battery street. The beautifully decorated sitting area of padded leather chairs and tables and comfortably dark and subdued decorating are the perfect backdrop to enjoy a great glass of wine and light bites. Sat at the bar and chatted up Chris and Erik, the sommelier, who told me that there are over 50 wines by the glass on the menu. Rare to find wine bars that serve so many choices from other countries. Debated between having a glass of French, Italian, Greek, Croatian, and Spanish wine. Erik was able to speak expertly about each choice and guide me to something I really enjoyed. They have an interesting and tasty light bites menu if you'd like to nibble while enjoying your glass. Worth a stop just for the experience.

Love the outdoor bocce alley, which can be booked for small events. Food was delicious and there was a great selection of wine.

We came here for a work event. I initially booked the bocce court for 1 hour since our party was under 12. I had to adjust the reservation when our party exceeded 12 people. This meant that we had to book the bocce court for 2 hours with a $500 minimum. Although the wine selection was quite broad, the least expensive bottles were in the $40-50 range. I wanted to order the sliders but they were $200+ for a dozen. Despite the prices, the service was great. We ended up w the flatbreads which were a big hit. The wines were chilled in a bucket of ice. They were flexible in switching our food to wine since we were drinking more than eating. Great fun!

Wow, this was a hidden gem for sure. We were looking for a place to grab a drink after work, and I was surprised when the San Francisco Wine Society popped up when I was searching Yelp for happy hour spots.[1] The building is tucked away in an alley off of Battery. The space is absolutely gorgeous, with high ceilings, exposed brick, subtle lighting, and a library ladder in front of the wine shelves behind the bar. They offer a number of tasting flights as well as regular glasses/bottles. The flights are thoughtfully selected/grouped, and described in entertainingly un-snooty detail. They consist of three generous pours for about the same price you might expect to pay on the higher end for a single glass of wine in a fancy restaurant. I tried some rosés and my husband tried some interesting reds, which were delicious. I appreciated being able to compare the wines all at once instead of serial pours like you get in a winery. The staff are friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable (they talked to us about the wines), but did not hover. We also ordered some snacks - the marinated castelveltrano olives are a must. I've been trying to figure out how to make my own. I tried once and it was meh. I will obviously need more research, so unfortunately I guess I'll have to go back and try them again, with more wine, of course. Poor me. [1] They do not offer a happy hour. Yelp lied!

San Francisco Wine Society is a cozy, modern wine bar offering a great selection of wines paired with delicious small bites. The ambiance is relaxed and inviting, with a sleek, contemporary interior that makes it perfect for both casual gatherings and more intimate dates. The vibe is laid-back but refined, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable, offering great recommendations based on your preferences. We enjoyed sampling a variety of wines, and the quality was top-notch. Whether you're a wine enthusiast or just starting to explore different varietals, there's something for everyone. The space is intimate but not too cramped, making it a great place for relaxed conversation. If you're looking for a place in San Francisco to unwind with good wine and a chill atmosphere, San Francisco Wine Society is definitely worth checking out.

If you are a wine snob lol or wine enthusiast, you will definitely find this place pleasing. The location seemed a bit hidden which was kind of cool. The place is dim, romantic, intimate, but lively. My fiancé had a red while I had a rose. I absolutely LOVED the wine and will definitely return. The charcuterie was a bit pricey for a small serving, otherwise, the service and wine were great.

Super cute place! Very friendly staff. The live music was cute she was very talented. The lighting and decor was perfect. The wine was fun I got to try wines from hungry and Slovakia. The prices were surprisingly fair and reasonable for wine. I was expecting it to be way more expensive but it was very fair I would for sure come back here!

Cool place with excellent live music. It's very dark and cozy here with plenty of comfortable leather chairs. The service was excellent my waiter kept my glass full and was attentive. The wines were good many by the glass from around the world. They even had a unique ones from Eastern Europe at a very low price point. I was also impressed by the mushroom flat bread pizza. It was so full of toppings and it was absolutely delicious and had the best flavor. It's perfect for one as a meal or to share for the table.

This is a hidden gem and great for a date night in SF! Good ambiance with lots of seating. The wine selection is really good and I love the wine flights options. Bites are delicious and highly recommend the sturgeon pate! We will definitely be back!

What a cute little place to enjoy some light snacks and drinks! We sat in the little terrace outside, enjoyed some good arancini and rose on a bench. Then afterwards we played some bacci balls. The perfect Sunday afternoon activity with your loved ones. By the way the Transamerican sculpture garden is nearby too.

I love this place from its drink list to the bocce ball court and bites. I have hosted my birthday party here for a 5 o clock bocce ball game and reservations were simple and welcoming. I love the sliders here and I love this place for a date night or to catch up with the girls.

This wine bar is tucked away in an alley and was a little hard to spot until I saw their outdoor patio sign. The inside is beautiful and has ample amount of seating. My friends made reservations for 6 so we took up the large dining table area; located to the right once you enter. Upon entrance, I noticed the intimate vibes but also noticed how quiet it was. It gave off "members-only" vibes. The 3 bottles we purchased were good. Pricey. But good. I enjoyed 2 out of 3. The service was great and the charcuterie was just as good! I highly recommend the olives. they were marinated in some Indian-y spice which was different but delicious. Restroom was worth noting down as well. It was spacious and super clean. I loved the Aesop products which left a nice scent throughout the restroom and my hands. All in all, I would come back for a visit if I was in the area. However, it is out of the way and not really walking distance to restaurants I would check out. Cheers!

Was in the area and craving some wine so decided to check this place out. My friend and I had a dog with us so we sat outside. But they don't allow dogs because of the furniture. The server made an exception for us. I got the holiday red wines which were amazing and not to heavy. The pour was kinda sad compared to other places. We also ordered butternut squash bruschetta which for my taste buds it was so bland that I only ate on toast. And couldn't have anymore because it was the blandest thing. After that I was discouraged to order more off the food menu. Overall experience was okay. The wine was great and delicious and they have so many selections to choose from.

The ambiance is great. Wine tasting is great and the cheese was nice with the wine. Will be going back soon.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place. What an ambience. I must have a thing for old buildings and chandeliers lol. This place is all class, elegant, a wonderful dim lit ambience- situated in an old San Francisco building, which they played off of the rustic nostalgic charm of that building and what a wonderful job they did. It is aesthetically pleasing and relaxing. That's not to mention the wonderful outdoor space they created outfront, which shares the charm, a comforting ambience, furnished with chandeliers, plants, and fires places. Did I forget to mention, bocci ball? Moving on to the wine, they have an electic array of interesting wines, which being a serious wine enthusiast, I can appreciate. They have wines from mild to wild to wtf *insert chuckle*. They also, have a variety of small plates, charcuterie, flat breads (spicy lamb and shiitake mushroom), natella stuffed cookies... With that said, I truly enjoy this place. It's a wonderful place in the city that you can pop into and you don't feel like you're in the city-- meaning you forget about the bustle outside. I highly recommend.

Before arriving to the SF Wine Society I had never heard of bocce ball, but I was so excited to play and experience this with drinks and food. After entering the court, there was a server who asked each of us individually if we wanted red or white referencing wine, but in my head I was thinking, "Neither, I'd like rosé" and he was able to bring that out for us. I would've preferred if they had the menu on hand or asked if we had a preference instead of it seeming like we were limited to those two options. As the food started to come out and be served to us, I noticed it was mainly meat options, and even the server pointed out that they were ready quicker instead of the vegetarian options. I would've appreciated if they planned the order i.e. meat, vegetarian, meat or vice versa. Some overall favorites include the Pickled Veggies, Spinach & Pecorino Pizza Pockets, and the Wild Mushrooms Flatbread-the latter had a meat-like taste so that was interesting however it was nice that everything was hand-held friendly especially when playing bocce ball! The court is definitely their selling point, but it would've been a better experience if there was a heater as it is SF and the weather can get cold and windy.

I went here after work with a few local colleagues while in San Francisco. I loved this place from the minute I walked in the door - super cool vibe and a very inviting decor. We sat in a small cluster of comfy leather chairs that was perfect for our little group. The servers were very friendly and the selections of wines was outstanding. I can't wait to go back!

A classy spot with reasonable prices. Even their outdoor seating is well-furnished and laid out, and the dimly lit indoor area gives an air of elegance. The wines are available by the bottle, by the glass, or in pre-set flights. There offer a dozen flights, including champagne and rose offerings in addition to the whites and reds. Most flights are in the $20 range for three pours, and they have some higher-tier options as well. We were seated right away and served our flights quickly, and the waitress helpfully provided a brief description of each wine we were about to try. They have a single adjoining bocce ball court that you specifically have to reserve. Of the wines we tried (one red and one white flight), we found them to be good but not great.

Tucked away in an alley in FiDi. Quiet Friday happy hour. You have to make a reservation for bocce. Only once an hour, four times a night on the hour from 5 pm to 8 pm. They needed more wait staff. They were overwhelmed and running around. Bocce was fun, but there is a lot of chalk because the one court is on pebbles. I had to wipe my hands before drinking the flight of wine or eating the sliders. Sliders are 2 small delicious burgers with a spicy sauce. The flights average $20 but the wines were not that great. At exactly 1 hour you can ask to be moved inside but we opted to search for a more fun vibe somewhere else. It was a bit dry and quiet.

Super chill - great wine list and experienced wine loyalist at the helm. Must try if you are in the hood.

starting this off with, i know nothing about wine so i'm here to review the area, ambiance and service! This place is pretty large and decorated very well. It gives me old homey vibes. There's a lot of seating tk choose from, but i decided to sit in the two chairs located in front of the fake fireplace. Service was great and they continuously came to check in on us. Bathroom didn't have any toilet paper so that kinda sucked so i'm glad i checked so i could grab the paper towels by the sink. My friend picked my wine for me and it was good. Idk anything about wine so i'm always like yeah it taste good. just don't give me anything super dry and tart and i'll be happy.

An elegant place for meeting others over a glass of wine and light bites, the San Francisco Wine Society is a wine bar and intimate gathering place that is located in a small alleyway that is named Merchant Street, in the heart of the city's Financial District. I have wanted to come to the San Francisco Wine Society for a number of years now, as I knew where they were in a central location, which just happened to be near my workplace, as well as a quick walk from the Embarcadero Bart Station, but I never got the chance to do so. That was until a colleague who had been there many times before suggested that we hosted a gathering of old friends there, as he knew of their private communal room that was great for intimate gatherings, and the fact that they had a great selection of wine and food didn't hurt either. Scheduled for a couple of hours on a Friday evening, I had a nice walk to get there and I enjoyed a nice warm evening of the lively atmosphere of the downtown area of the city. Upon walk-up to their interior, there was a huge outdoor dining area complete with hanging chandeliers, electric fireplaces, and evening comfy chairs for lounging, so even under the most challenging circumstances, they certainly know how to dress it up right at the San Francisco Wine Society. Upon entry to their interior, I was amazed by the intimate library-like atmosphere that had a number of chairs for lounging and end tables for enjoying bites and wine, in addition to a number of touches to their interior that represented a little whimsy with wine tasting its true heart. Their private communal area was right in front next to their front door so my private area was really easy to find, which was super nice, and showing their pleasant staff all of our vaccine information was also easy to do, as they were all super on top of everything. As my colleague was the host of the event and since he was a regular patron, we let him pick the wines we were going to enjoy and the food we were going to pair our sips with. To start our evening off, he selected a delightful white wine, a 2019 Sauvignon Blanc called The Instigator from Jurassic Vineyard, which is located in the Santa Ynez Valley in California. This paired nicely with the cheese, charcuterie, nut and cracker platter that was awaiting us on our communal table alongside a plethora of wine glasses that were ready to be filled. Our platter was so abundant, as it featured a combination of options from their cheese and salumi and ham selections, including their house pickled veggies, a spread of Dijon mustard, house made black currant jam, Marcona almonds, sliced Acme Sourdough bread and gluten free crackers. One of our cheeses was their Tomme de Chèvre, which was a semi-firm cow-based cheese from Savoie, France; and the other was a Detroit Street Brick of soft goat cheese sourced from Zingerman's Creamery. As for our Salumi and Ham, our platter included their Parmesan and Porcini from Journeyman Meat Company in Sonoma, California and authentic Serrano Jamón from Spain. All of these foods paired with two additional bottles of red wines, including a Scribe Pinot Noir Rosé from Sonoma Valley which was really nice on the palate and sold at a super affordable price point, and a bottle of 2016 Château de la Croix Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Cabernet Franc/Petite Verdot from Medoc, Bordeaux France, which was a little on the pricey side but well worth it as it a bold taste that was accentuated by all of the sliced salumi and Jamón that I made sure to try with every sip of wine. We also enjoyed two other entrées including their Spinach & Pecorino Pizza Pockets which were also filled with oven dried tomatoes and Fontina cheese, and their Sliders filled with Wagyu Akaushi Beef, jalapeño-tomato compote, toma and arugula. Every dish was prepared with such thoughtfulness when paired with their highly curated list of wines that they offer at San Francisco Wine Society, we truly had a wonderful evening spending time with one another taking in their romanticized atmosphere. All told our final bill led us to contribute about 40-50 dollars a person to the pool, which wasn't too bad, since we received such high-end service from their team, which only made me want to make a return visit in the future. At San Francisco Wine Society, they proudly believe in building connections within the diverse Bay Area community, encouraging participation through hosting clientele and promoting growth through wine education for those who are interested. After the wonderful night we experienced, under the stars of a warm winter evening, I can't wait to learn and experience more of the wines and pairings at the San Francisco Wine Society.

This spot is tucked inside a small street so it feels like a little get away from downtown. It's got a dark, romantic, and cozy feel. There were various seating arrangements and all were arranged far enough apart so that each party had some privacy. We loved the pickled vegetables and spinach and cheese pizza pockets. The wine flights were generously poured and there was an option that suits everyone's unique preferences. Service was helpful, attentive, and friendly. The bathroom was also very clean and cutely decorated! Great spot for a date night or catching up with friends.

I love this place, they have great selection of wines and wine tallying menu. Very nice ambiance, they have outdoor game area. Service is here great!

This is my favorite wine places in Financial District. They have a great customer service and the ambiance is so cool.

I am so done with this wine bar. I've on there three times. The first time I went there after I arrived they told me they were closed for a private party. Nothing on their website. That was about a year ago. I went a second time to try one of their flights, and the second wine of the flight tasted corked to me. I told my server who smelled it and told me it was probably just my taste buds. I ask for the manager to come over. She took one sniff and said, "this wine is corked get him a new glass.". tonight I rode Mart in from El Cerrito to try their Cabernet franc flag that was on their website, and when I got there, the server told me they were closed for a private party. I asked him why there was nothing on the website, and he said well you should call. It was nice enough, but it seems like they're spending more time Catering to private interest, rather than letting the general public know what's going on. I am now on the BART train back to Richmond area. If you want to sure thing, I recommend you go to the fairy market wine plaza. Get good wine and much better service, and their website is always up-to-date.

At first I wasn't going to write a review for the San Francisco Wine Society, but then I was like wine not. As a dad, I couldn't resist the urge to start off with a pun and I'm not sorry about it. So, sip back and enjoy this wine in a million review about this really grape wine bar! I came to the San Francisco Wine Society for a work sponsored happy hour and it did not disappoint. It's location is quite subtle and discrete, so at first I mistakenly walked right passed it. However, upon my arrival, I discovered a lovely, quaint, and dimly illuminated venue that portrayed sophistication without the disdain. I was immediately greeted by the hostess who guided me to my party who were playing Bocce Ball. I was then provided a wine glass and choice of wines that I believe were pre-selected. The entire time I was there, my glass never remained empty for more than a few moments before a staff member offered to refill it. This was both impressive and consequential, as I ended up indulging more than I had planned to. However, the over indulgence was well worth it because I had a phenomenal time. Truly enjoyed the delectable wines, delicious hor d'oeuvres, and exceptional service. I fully intend to frequent the San Francisco Wine Society often and I suggest those who made it to the end of this corny review to do the same. Cheers!

I've been coming here for corporate happy hours for the last year and it's one of my favourite wine bars in SF. The wine selection is amazing and the food is equally exciting and delicious. Lots of cheeseboards I have ordered at restaurants have been a little lacking. The one from SF wine society is not! Absolutely beautiful and great selection of meats, cheeses and other acoutrements. The bar itself is also stunning, inclusive of the parklet outside which I think is probably the cutest one in SF! The decor rotates seasonally, and included holiday decorations! My suggestion is to talk the the bartender (sommelier feels more accurate?) and ask for a wine recommendation. Their selection is extremely varied and this is a great place to try something new that you might otherwise not have considered. Great for grabbing a glass with a friend, or a group or corporate event. It feels more like a living room than a restaurant. Don't miss the bocce court outside on their patio!

I came here for an event on 11/9, hosted by SF Wine Society in collaboration with CB2. I'm not in the furniture business....just happened to be on the CB2 mailing list, which invited anyone if you RSVP'd in time for this new event series they're doing. Basically, CB2 helped out a bunch of businesses during the pandemic, including this one, by redoing all the furniture. This event was kind of like a show room in a way, but with free wine and appetizers! And live music! I'm guessing there were around 100 people present? This was a combined indoor/outdoor event, with their regular indoor area, outside bocce ball area, and extended parklet outside. I had a great time at this event. The staff was pretty attentive, kept bringing out different types of appetizers, similar to at a wedding. Nothing was super mindblowing, but hey, it was free, and everything was decent. I did like the Charcuterie and cheeses. They also had a bunch of passed hor d'oeuvres that were great too, eggplant & tomato over toast, and some other duck cracker. They poured lots, and lots of wine - bubbles to start, and full glasses to end. They were pouring decent bottles too, red burgandys in the $40 range, etc. I had never heard of SF Wine Society before this event, but would consider coming here another time with friends. It was a comfortable and cutely decorated setting, with food and wine. The location is pretty nice too, with plenty of restaurants nearby. We actually headed to Harborview for dinner afterwards lol. Great times, and wonderful way to start off the holidays. Thank you CB2 and SF Wine Society for hosting!

The brick walls, ever-shifting light, crushed oyster-shell bocce court, and amazing wine alongside scrumptious food makes The San Francisco Wine Society a must. The staff are attentive and the atmosphere provides the perfect energy for recharging your social battery.

Good wine, decent but overpriced food. We came on a Saturday around 7 and was lucky enough to get a table for two without a wait. It definitely started filling up shortly after. We sat inside but it was decently cold still since they leave the front door open. We both got glasses of red wine. One nebbiolo and one Pinot noir. Both were delicious! Our waiter was able to give recommendations based off my preferences and allowed me to taste a sip before committing to a glass. We got the mushroom flatbread, the wagyu sliders and the Nutella stuff chocolate chip cookie. The flatbread is pretty much a pizza with a lot of mushrooms and some cheese. Not that strong of a flavor and definitely not worth the $16 for a tapas size pizza. The sliders were even worse. Two TINY sliders for $20. The cookies were amazing though. Freshly baked and the Nutella was nice and oozy.

5 stars for decor. 5 stars for service. 3 stars for wine. 1,000 stars for the Nutella cookies, served fresh out of the oven. Definitely worth a repeat visit.

You could visit this spot for a casual drink, in a lovely environment, with your coworkers and friends. It will provide the best outdoor dining setup you've seen (a relatively recent pandemic benefit). You'll also find kind, attentive, and informed staff. But if you like wine -- really, really like wine -- this is THE place in FiDi (all of SF?) for experiencing it. The flights are incredible. Thoughtful, creative, and delightful to drink. If you're accustomed to "red or white?" this spot will redefine how you consider a tasting. While individual wines weren't always a perfect fit for my preferences, I learned a lot -- and enjoyed the process. Whether you are numbing something or striving to experience something more deeply, I am confident Emory and crew will be able to help. '99 Riesling? Got it. Starburst-inspired flight? Got it. A menu and environment designed for forgetting 2020? Got it. I'm happy this place exists.

There's a live band on Friday nights. Such a swank atmosphere. You can show up casual or most of the guests were dressed up & out of towners who were dressed pretty formal as well. The wine selection is amazing. The seating spacing is proportioned perfectly :)

A local friend suggested this place. I really enjoyed my time here. Fantastic wine options, service was great, ambiance classy but comfortable. Would definitely come back!

Had an amazing time visiting this wine bar. The service is top notch and very attentive. Excellent selection of wines and flights. The interior is very sleek and sexy, perfect for a date night. Definitely recommend, staff is friendly and inviting. I will recommend this place to My friends and be back soon. Also have to add the bathroom is really cool too! Lol

Beautiful, elegant, classy. A little wine bar tucked away in FiDi downtown. It's lovey and the staff was very nice to us who know nothing. Sadly, some louder clients kinda killed the atmosphere. I don't need it to be stuffy, but a less loudness from that group of 5 would have been nice...I get it might be a tough thing to control (I'll have to go back and see if it's more chill normally).

I came here for an event 11/9/2021 The wine offered for the event was delicious. Staff was very welcoming EXCEPT for the "manager", I assume. He was behind the bar wearing regular clothing. Description: white male, short (maybe 5 -5'3 feet), black/white short hair, 55-60 years. I came here excited because I had not been to this wine bar. It's super close to my office and was already planning on happy hours here with my team. Everything was going fine until I make my way to the bar to grab a second glass of wine. The guy who worked there acted so bothered when I asked about the wine! At a WINE BAR. What the actual fuck. Third time - he was so dismissive and rolled his eyes. I saw him interact with other guest. Correction: with other WHITE guest. And definitely noticed a difference in his attitude. He was kind and funny. Just an FYI to BIPOC. Say something or write a review if you experience the same treatment.

Probably the nicest wine bar I've ever been to. Need to return with friends. Service was on point. Will drop in every single time I'm in the area.

Went in for an early drink to celebrate my wife's birthday. Got in around 330 on Saturday. We were the only customers there and were well taken care of. The wine was great and the ambience was fantastic! The interior design is first class. They have a great wine selection with over a dozen different wine flights to select from. They also have a great selection of appetizers.

A good friend and I went for a Friday happy hour. The place is tucked away on Merchant Street. Once you enter you feel that you are in a secret hideaway- meeting for a rendezvous. Lavishly furnished living room style with small marble tables and comfy chairs. Fun wine flights and by the glass are offered from all world including Uruguay. A great appetizer menu of both hot and cold items. Service was attentive without being pushy. They know about the wine they are serving. We enjoyed the fennel and sausage flatbread. We appreciated the quiet atmosphere so we could talk and catch up to our hearts content. Fun place and will definitely return.

They had a wide variety of wines and wine flights of all price points to choose from. We both had a wine flight. Our server was very helpful and very knowledgeable of all the wines. The ambiance is very elegant and cozy. I would definitely return when back in the city!

I arrived in SFO about 6 hours before my wife and I was hangry so, after checking into the hotel, I found the Hidden Vine. I knew that my wife wouldn't be flying in until after 1am and, by the time she got from the airport to downtown, it would likely be 2. Kitchens long closed, last call called. And the lady likes bubbly.... So, I hit up Hidden Vine and grabbed a bottle of French champagne and a couple of flat breads take back to the room and store in our mini-fridge while awaiting her arrival. Remarkably, after selecting my bottle "to-go", I was informed that it was 30% off since I wouldn't be drinking it in the restaurant. Fantastic! The flatbreads were pricey and since they immediately got put in the fridge, I can only say that they weren't half bad when they got reheated 3 hours later. The bartender was attentive and fun, the place was alive and hopping, and the glass of pinot I had while waiting on the flatbreads was delicious. While I wasn't paying much attention to the crowd, it definitely struck me as upscale. By the time my love got in, Hidden Vine was closed, so boy did I score major points by surprising her with that bottle of France' finest and some tasty treats ;) I look forward to checking the place out again, hopefully together, next time SF is the destination....

I love coming to this place!!! Every single time I come here I'm treated like I'm part of the family... And last night was no exception. I've known Danielle the owner for the better part of 10 years and the service tethered with the attention to detail is truly spectacular! I brought the girlfriend to celebrate her birthday yesterday and we were treated like a couple of VIP's! Tom our wine connoisseur was exceptional, Mandy was phenomenal and Danielle per usuals is fantastic...If you want one of the most intimate, beautiful and delicious evenings in San Francisco look no further!!! This place is a hidden gem and should be crowned a San Francisco treasure!!!

What a great way to spend a warm sunny day celebrating friend's birthday. Wine tasting flights, charcuterie / cheese platter, sliders and pizza. Highlight was playing bocce ball in the back outdoor court. Great and friendly service. So glad this spot reopened (from Hidden Vines). Back soon again!

I'm a local and live within 6 blocks and been stopping by since Hidden Vine days. Was very happy to see them reopen during and through covid and did my best to take friends here as soon as reopened and since but experience has continued to only get worse. They seem to have no recollection of those that supported them in early days or covid and only are interested in corporate groups or tourists. Service is now non existent and wine list is so so at this point, simply the best values they can acquire and sell off. It's sad as a great concept, in an interesting space in a key SF hood...

After having dinner / happy hour nearby, I wanted one more drink. I did a quick Yelp search and Hidden Vine came up. I wanted to keep it tame and wine sounded good, so Peter L and I stopped by on Wednesday, March 1st around 7:45pm. There were a few tables open, so we grabbed a two top along the wall. Flights: 3 x 2oz servings of wines *Big and Bold: Shiraz, Tempranillo, Syrah Blend ($14) *Southern Hemisphere: Uruguay, Brazil, Chile ($14) We decided to try both red wine flights. I like big, bold wines, so I drank most of that one. I can't really recall which one I liked the best, but we did a side by side comparison. I think I liked my first pour and Peter's second pour. (Or it could have been vice versa.) For the last pour, I can't remember which one was better. Maybe my palate was blown by then? Either way, I did enjoy the flights and it was a great way to sample six different wines. I adored the laid back vibe of this wine bar. It's kind of hidden away in an alley, so it wasn't too busy. Or maybe because it was a Wednesday night? They have various tables scattered in the center with comfy couches and chairs as well as a small bar in the back. I could see myself enjoying some wine and having a good conversation with a friend or two. They also have a what I think is a small bocce ball set up to the left of the space. Nice bar to enjoy some wine while catching up with a friend. I can see myself coming back to enjoying the Hidden Vine's cozy atmosphere.

Came here for a group event. The place is a classy venue with dimly lit lights and a nice outdoor area for bocce. They had a nice wine selection, including both red and white, ranging in different levels of acidity and boldness. There were nice charcuterie boards set up with baguettes, cheese slices, jam, and a wide selection of fine meats. The server also came around with apps like mushroom pizza, pizza bites, and "wagyu" burgers (that tasted like anything but wagyu). The reason why I can't give five stars to this place is that despite its intimate atmosphere and curated wines, the food was just disappointing. We joked that the food tasted was from Trader Joe's, as they all tasted like frozen foods recently heated up. Apart from that, the place was nice but maybe not exceptional.

Thanksgiving supper tasting and Vive La France tasting flights. Awesome French wines to be tried here. Just wait for them to breathe and open up. Ambience A++ too!

Beautiful space. Nice jazz music. Big selection. Good service. They treated me well even though I'm pretty clearly not a wine aficionado. Some real wine nerds work here. Bocce in the side yard. Fancy bathroom. An elegant little spot.

Fantastic wine list in a very beautifully decorated setting. Great for private events.

Food was great. So was the service. Until a server told me that my phone was to noisy when I was showing a video on a phone to my wife. Mean while we have people behind us cheering and laughing playing bocce ball. Other then that it was a good time.
