Doug Hanshaw: Rigatoni with truffle meat sauce. Do it.
Brittany Letto: Highly recommend Veal Scallopini (served original way), the Branzino was so amazing & flaky/crispy, the White corn ravioli w/ black truffles was so rich & delicious! Choc soufflé & volcano for dessert
Doug McCracken: Sweet corn ravioli is delicious

Lisa Lafrance: Although it's called a wine bar, try their cocktails too, which are very creative and very good!
Meg L.: Niman Ranch Burger. Dish out the extra $3 (used to be $2, le sigh) for the fried egg. You're already going big by eating an $18 burger so why not get the works? Enjoy.
Eater: Moderately priced super seasonal eats straight from SM farmers markets served in a pleasant, tasteful space. Seasonal desserts come from neighbor bakery Huckleberry. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.

David Heiser: Great local craft beer list. Nice, chill atmosphere.
ZAGAT: Vegetarians can find a fair amount of selections on the menu, and the back patio is great during warm weather (it’s also often quieter than the main room).
Charles Edge: Hmmmm, do I want the fish and chips or just a stout?!?!?
