    Great wine and food. Perfect end to a hectic day. Onion soup, meatballs, small charcuterie, board was perfect.

    An amazing find. We have seen this place many times and yet never went in... the day we stopped in they had a fundraising event outside for dogs which was very apropos since we had just left the world dog surfing championship right nearby. Great wines great service great vibes in this adorable Lil wine room the inside is a total vibe and the gentleman running the place is extremely knowledgeable about wines, the regions they come from he steered us to some amazing wines in our flights. We tried some refreshing crisp and tasty wine. And we left with a few bottles of Mendicino French Colombard from Barterra a new favorite. Can't wait for my next visit.

    Grape in the Fog is a Pacifica gem that deserves far more attention. They have a lovely selection of wine and a membership club for local regulars who enjoy a fine sip, but also like a little value. My buddy and I recently visited twice in as many weeks because it's just that good. The happy hour house red is a delicious bargain that makes no apology. The charcuterie board actually feeds two people quite well, unlike most places that give you a few crumbs of cheese and a slice of salami. Check the attached photo to see what I'm talking about. If you're not a wine drinker, you can check out the local Rockaway Beach IPA. Or one of the nonalcoholic options. They even have cake! Staff is friendly and efficient. Outdoor seating in the summer allows you to enjoy the sea air with your wine. Come by for the farmers' market on Wednesday and enjoy a glass after shopping for produce. Cheers!

    Sunday jazz - no cover charge. 4p-6p. Hubby & I attended a jazz performance Sunday afternoon at this wine bar. Our fellow taiko drum classmate Marlina Teich is a jazz musician and has her own trio. She plays jazz guitar and vocals. We entered around 3:45pm and several tables already occupied. We sat at a table where we had a good view of the trio. Food wise - * hubby & I both had local beers. He had a draft lager. Me a canned porter. * charcuterie board. This is a local hangout. Tucked away at the end of the street running parallel to Hwy 1. We'd love to come again. Maybe try a flight of wine next time. Easy street parking.

    Wonderful first time experience. We met friends who are regulars, and they introduced us to owner Beth, who opened 10 years ago. It's a very calm environment. Good wines and good cheese! They're also dog-friendly. The space is beautifully decorated. I'll go there again with other friends.

    I am definitely giving this place 5 start review. Place is clean and super nice. Wine is good and deserts and food is very tasty. The beer very refreshing specially Laughing Monk Brewing, San Francisco CA I took a sparkling flight and there were very good all of the no exceptions. I got some Brie + Jam to go with this and I enjoy it. The service was kind and always making sure I had everything I needed. I recommend this place for sure and by the way, they had live music today, a nice relaxing music to go with the wine .

    We enjoyed live jazz (Marlina Teich) here on a Sunday afternoon, while trying the red wine flight (Valravn Pinot Noir, Domaine Moulin Nouvel, Iconic Zinfandel 'Old Gods'), and sharing some small bites, the Moro Melts with roasted tomato. These were way better than I expected, buttery and crisp, a nice crunch with the melted cheese and roasted tomato flavor blended in nicely, kinda like sundried tomatoes which I love, omg I would definitely return just for this. But the wines were decent too, our faves the Valravn Pinot Noir and Domaine Moulin Nouvel (not so much the Zinfandel, which was more subtle). The music was relaxing and added a nice touch to our experience. The employees were friendly and helpful, and provided sufficient service. And the setting was clean, casual and cozy, a welcoming atmosphere with your choice of seating. There's also a couple free parking lots nearby, in the Rockaway Beach Plaza for convenience.

    Classic Baked Brie

    Came here because the menu seemed so cute and classy. Based on old Yelp pictures, the prices went up these past few months, which is understandable. However, I feel like the price just wasn't justified for what I was getting. Dessert wine (white port) $12: this was like rubbing alcohol. It had the aftertaste of a shot of vodka and the flavor of the actual grape was not there. I've had better dessert wine in a $10 bottle from BevMo, so this was quite the disappointment. I tried to finish it, but couldn't get myself to drink more than 3 sips. Left the rest. You'll have a much better chance of being satisfied drinking the Sauternes at Calave in Palo Alto. Mixed board $32 charcuterie meats + variety of cheeses: the ONE thing I can appreciate from this board was the local rosemary + orange jam. It was so unique and brought a really great, clean, juicy flavor to the board. The meats were prosciutto and a local salami. Both tasted as expected. The three cheeses included a triple cream Brie, goat cheese, and an imported Spanish cheese. I'm 99% sure this Spanish cheese came straight from the big Costco pack because I get that cheese so often. The flavor, texture, smell, and aesthetic were all that of the cheese pack from Costco. What..? Classic Baked Brie $22: said it was garnished with rosemary, but it wasn't. The honey wasn't drizzled--it was mixed in with the soupy balsamic. The bread was good, like a French baguette they threw in the air fryer. Crispy outer, soft and fluffy inner. Overall, I can't tell if I just chose the wrong wine to try, but it was an OK experience. Attire isn't quite "classy" as expected. The inside looks more like a cozy book + wine club than a fancy dining place. I would come back here on a day with live music or order different wine.

    We ordered two of the 'what the staff are drinking' mixed flights, and were very happy we did! We both got a different flight, and enjoyed each selection. I now have a new favorite Pinot Noir! The Charcuterie and Mediterranean Nibble were perfect for the two of us. We just wanted some good wine and a light dinner, in a relaxed but nice atmosphere. Home run!

    This place is the best to wine down. On Sundays they have a live band. Can get a bit loud but you can move to the back if you want to have a conversation. Service is great. They're sooo nice & friendly & informed us on some hiking spots. The place has Mediterranean vibe. It's very nice.

One thing I really loved was how easy it was to make a reservation online. Being able to choose your exact table and preview the view ahead of time was such a cool feature and made it easy to pick the perfect spot for a special dinner. The service was amazing from start to finish. We started with the smoked salmon appetizer with grilled baguette, mascarpone, onion, and capers, which was delicious. For my entrée, I had the Dungeness crab cakes with fall vegetables, mashed potatoes, marinated fennel, petite frisée, and caper aioli, and it was incredible. My partner got the lobster mac & cheese, which was rich, flavorful, and definitely did not disappoint. Between the great food, drinks, attentive service, and unbeatable view, it made for such a memorable birthday dinner. I'll definitely be coming back.

The scenery alone makes the wait for the food enjoyable and relaxing. We started with the clam chowder and calamari for appetizers. The calamari was a bit small for the price, but the chowder was enjoyable. For our entrees, we ordered the Pappardelle Bolognese, Grilled Salmon Pinwheel, Dungeness Crab Cioppino, and Mussels-Frites. The dishes were decent overall, though nothing particularly stood out for us. Unfortunately, the Mussels-Frites, listed as one of the Chef's Specialties was overly salty, which was a bit disappointing since we had high expectations for it. Overall, it seems like many people come here mainly for the beautiful coastal view and relaxing atmosphere rather than the food itself. As for us, it was nice to experience once, but probably not a spot we'd return to.

We waked into a large dark wood ala refurbished 1970s interior restaurant with plenty of half circle booths, large tables for groups and bar and dace floor that seems to be available for live music. We came on what looked like and felt like a locals regular night full of families and well dressed seniors. I hate being seated by a busser station or kitchen listening to the noise or the staff thinking they can talk crap about customers because they are stacking dishes or running a credit card but that is exactly what happened. Being hangery (hungry-angry) makes us change our dining standards. This being said we had to listen to the young staff's complaining. My partner ordered and received a large seafood salad and I ordered fish and chips. My food tasted like a large refrigerator Orida fish patty that was fried and large slices of potatoes that came out of the same oil. Being from the San Francisco bay area I compare all my sea food to that and have to say that I was greatly disappointed with the lack of taste even though I see that it was "handmade beer batter" dish. Unfortunately, I dont have too many positive things to say about this place except it is a good place to cure hugry.

It was also nice & warm. I ate the whole thing & have no regrets. The place is cute! There's a small parking garage - if you go on IG, there's a video that shows you how to get there. There's also street parking. I was able to find a seat in the bar to eat & work. If you order in, you'll do it through a QR code on your table. You can also ask for a hard copy of the menu.
