Ricardo Villarreal: Talk to the staff, they are so knowledgeable about the wines they carry and they have tried them all. They have always given me great wine recommendations.
Chris Edwards: Best prices for wine & liquor in the Bay Area and exceptionally helpful staff. You can also order online and pick up in-store.
Sherry Li: I love this wine shop. They have a good variety of wine, spirits, and even a small sake selection. The staff are very nice and helpful if you need suggestions.
Kyle Minor: Hidden & right-sized wine & beer bar w/ an all domestic menu. Meats & cheeses for snacking. Try the Ploughman's special: a beer, a bit of cheese, some local chutney, & some bread. Simply perfect!

Kimberly Odom: House wine is a steal and the vegetable cassoulet was out of this world!
Andrew Cerda: Stick to the affordable house wine and you can order all of the bouchees and appetizers - they're divine! And if there's a soup, you have to order it! Perello has a knack for soups.
Lynne 🐰 Qu: Beer and wine are amazing! Love the dessert. The duck entree was a bit dry and salty tho.

Lynnet Spiegel: This place was fabulous! The variety of cheese is amazing! Great wine list & the food is outstanding! 4 stars!
