Came here on a Thursday for their happy hour. Their happy hour is $13 for a flight of three wines and the pour is heavy! We also got their flatbread of the day which was really tasty. The flatbread is more of a chip, but it was still really good. It gets really busy during their happy hour and it is a dog friendly place. The server was very accommodating. The patio is cute with some barrels as tables and the inside is dimly lit. Overall, I like this place a lot and will keep coming back. read more

If you're sick do not come to work especially if you handle food and drinks! Feel like I shouldn't have to explain this but please cover your mouth when you cough! Also offering food off of someone else's plate is definitely against health guidelines Aside from that one of the wines recommended was solid and the croquettes were good. read more

OMG!!! My new favorite happy hour in the city, NO CONTEST!! Weekends being 2-6 is absolutely perfect. Came in around 3pm and were seated immediately. $13 for a wine flight (you pick!!) and the pours are GREAT. The food is also quite yummy and the perfect pairing for the wine. Service was great, everyone was so attentive and willing to explain any questions we had. The interior is absolutely dreamy too. It feels like a piece of Paris came to Polk. I will be back for many more amazing HHs! read more

3.5/5 Went for bastille day and it was packed and super loud. Which would be ok, but it was really hard to get water or not get bumped into. When our group finally got a table we pulled an extra chair in to sit and one of the waiters was pushing my back off of it to move. It would have sufficed to say nicely if we could move the chair. The bouncer was also brusque and not welcoming which didn't help. Wine was alright, had the sparkling gamay but nothing special and the glass felt a bit cheap. Overall will not be back but maybe the experience is better on a different weekday. read more

I really enjoyed the small dishes, the drinks, and the atmosphere. Very good service as well. I would visit again. read more

Been wanting to come here for awhile and so glad I did. The happy hour is one of the best, with so many choices of wine and bites! Lots of vegetarian options as well - I loved the artichoke and the daily flat bread which had no meat either. The server was so kind and helped us choose our wines for the flight. Live music as well on a week day - what a treat! read more

As a wine bar Amelie is perfectly serviceable. While the ambiance isn't particularly to my linking, the wine selection is good, and the wine flights are well priced. Unfortunately, I also happened to order the food. The food was all mediocre at best, but mostly bad. Overcooked, oily, and confused is the best way I'd describe the dishes. Confused is also how I'd describe the service. Incredibly slow, and I had to flag down the waiter 4 times before being able to get our check. read more

Stopped by Amélie in San Francisco with my parents, and I can confidently say this was one of the most inconsistent performances in culinary history. They had a fixed menu with three appetizers, three entrées, and dessert. Since there were three of us, we ordered one of everything. The appetizers arrived, and I'll say this: they were definitely designed for a more sophisticated palate. Unfortunately, none of the three palates present at our table had received the necessary training. We somehow managed to go 0-3. Meanwhile, my mom asked for a lemonade.They didn't have lemonade. Fair enough. But our waiter, apparently unwilling to accept defeat, took it upon himself to open diplomatic negotiations with the bartender. Minutes later, he returned: an agreement had been reached. A lemonade could be produced. I don't know what concessions were made behind that bar, or how many international treaties had to be signed, but I commend this man's dedication to foreign relations. At this point, the only thing with a perfect record was a beverage that wasn't even on the menu. Then came the entrées: ravioli, chicken, and beef. Unfortunately, our waiter returned with breaking news...The beef had withdrawn from the competition. We'd have to double up on either the chicken or the ravioli. Our mission to try the entire menu was being sabotaged by the menu itself. But then came the ravioli. Ladies and gentlemen, that ravioli. I don't know who was back there folding those little pasta envelopes, but somebody needs to check on their grandmother because there's clearly a family recipe being used without supervision. Easily the best ravioli I've ever had in my life. The chicken, however, appeared to have been seasoned with positive thoughts and good intentions. Somewhere along the way, flavor was apparently deemed optional. I was convinced the kitchen had two chefs. One was pursuing culinary greatness. The other was fulfilling a community service requirement. Now, this is where things got interesting. There was a chef working near our table. A shorter gentleman who, from what I could tell, had never once felt the need to shift out of first gear. Since we'd ordered the fixed menu, he was already preparing our desserts. Unfortunately for him, that ravioli was so good we ordered another. We watched our waiter deliver the news. The chef looked at him. Looked at us. Then slowly made his way back to the kitchen. I've seen people receive bad news before, but never at that frame rate. Eventually, the ravioli arrived. Absolutely worth it. And credit where it's due, the staff kept bringing us bread. I was beginning to think we'd been enrolled in some sort of unlimited bread program. My mom even ordered a second lemonade, just as good as the first. At this point, the bartender was undefeated. Then came dessert. Our chef returned to his station, still operating comfortably in first gear. I've seen people work under pressure. This man appeared to have never been introduced to the concept. I genuinely believe the person responsible for designing the Japanese flag experienced more stress than this chef did preparing our desserts. He moved with the urgency of a sloth who had just been informed that the deadline was optional. Seriously, I'd love to see how much this guy could hold up the line at the DMV. At one point I stopped wondering when dessert would arrive and started wondering whether this man experienced time the same way the rest of us did. The crème brûlée, however, was excellent. As inconsistent as the food was, the experience was genuinely enjoyable. The service was great, the bread kept coming, the ravioli was phenomenal, and the bartender was performing miracles with beverages that didn't officially exist. But please, whatever you do, keep that chef forever. That man has achieved a level of inner peace the rest of us spend our lives searching for. No urgency. No stress. Just a man and his ingredients, existing peacefully in the present moment. Honestly, we should all aspire to live like that. Then we paid and started walking out. That's when I noticed something. Our chef was now behind the bar. Apparently, he had switched careers during the final act. And all I could think was... This man? Making cocktails? I would pay good money to watch him shake a martini. I imagine the ice would have enough time to melt, refreeze, and reconsider its career choices before that cocktail was finished. Overall, Amélie is fascinating. Some dishes were incredible, others forgettable, but the experience was worth it. Would definitely come back. Preferably when I'm not in a hurry. read more

Came here for happy hour with friends and had a great experience! They do an early happy hour on weekends (starting at 2pm), and the happy hour menu prices were great for both food and wine flights. And every dish we ordered was delicious! Off of the happy hour menu, we got the crispy artichokes, goat cheese, flatbread of the day (butternut squash), and 2 orders of croquetas. We also ordered brussel sprouts and escargot. Everything was a hit! Service was wonderful as well. The people we interacted with were French (so it seems like a great place to practice speaking French if you're so inclined). We sat outside along the street, so even that was reminiscent of a French cafe. Lovely experience all around and I wouldn't hesitate to come back! read more

We came here for happy hour on a Monday evening and we were one of the only customers in a nearly empty restaurant, so service was pretty efficient. We almost had the entire staff catering exclusively to us. I'd say the restaurant kind of feels like a cross between a bistro bar and a 50s restaurant with dim lighting. Once we took a look at the menu, of course we had to get a wine flight. Between 2 of the $13 wine flights, we ordered a Melon de Bourgogne, Merlot, Gamay, and then we were recommended a Rose Grenache, and an an orange wine, which was interesting. $ 7 Chicken Liver Mousse: okay! It was topped with chives, served with cornichons. $10 Jamon Serrano Croquetas: good! definitely fresh, because it came piping hot. I had to cut it in half and let it steam for a few minutes. $19 Octopus Carpaccio - pickled capers and pickled peppers, pomegranate: great! very tangy taste, get it if you like sour flavors $29 Duck Leg Confit - Grimaud farm duck leg with gratin dauphinois, salad, duck jus: excellent! crispy skin on duck leg with green salad and radishes helped lighten it up. When we got our bill, it came tucked inside of a French paperback, which I thought was a cute touch. We got full from happy hour, though two items were not from the happy hour menu. I give Amelie a 9.2/10 read more

First time, but not the last. Nice place where you can bring friends, talk with the staff, and have a nice time. I came with friends for happy hour. Just the right amount of drinks and food. We got the fried artichoke bites (yummy), happy hour flatbread (which I assume changes depending on day/week/whatever the chef feels like making) and coquettes (not my favorite). I missed ordering the wine flight and the charcuterie board, which looked yummy. As other reviews mentioned, the lighting is a bit dark. If you sit at the bar or closer to the door, the lights aren't as dim as the back. Otherwise everyone is friendly and it felt like this was the neighborhood wine bar. Looking forward to going back again. read more

Very cute spot with a solid wine list and great vibes. The kind of place you stop in for a glass and then you look up and 90 minutes have passed and you're on your third.

Do not come here if you are a woman and don't want to be touched by wait staff. My friend and I came here for happy hour and stood by the bar and within minutes both of us were touched behind our backs by wait staff. Thought it was just a one time thing, so we ordered our drinks. We ended up waiting by the bar on the other end and a different server grabbed both of my bare shoulders from BEHIND to move me aside.. no "excuse me" or "behind you". It actually scared me because I didn't know who was grabbing me, and as a woman I felt extremely uncomfortable being handled like that. My drink never came and when I went up to the bar again, the same guy that touched my friend and I that took our orders was convinced I didn't order anything. I told him I did, and he ended up putting his arm around my shoulders to lean in closer. It was at this point we decided we had enough and we did not feel safe getting any additional drinks here. We went back to our seats pretty upset at this point, wanted a refund, and the same guy came and crouched next to my friend to listen to her but put his hand around her AGAIN. I'm not sure if he was sober because when we told him to stop touching us again he fell backwards on the ground - with everyone watching. We ended up just calling for the manager to ensure we got the refund. The manager listened to us, but wow I have never had such an unnerving and unprofessional experience at any bar or restaurant like that. I highly doubt the servers would have touched and grabbed us if we were men. We were completely sober and really wanted to have a good time here. Unfortunately as women we did not feel safe in this environment at all. The wait staff need to learn to keep their hands to themselves. read more

My friend and I came on a weekday evening and were seated immediately. I loved the aesthetics of the wine bar with the dim red lights and intimate atmosphere, but honestly the place was too loud and difficult to have a conversation. Smoked Salmon Tartare: This tasted fresh and was delicately seasoned, and the acidity of it kept it light and balanced. Escargots Gratines: This was personal favorite bite! They were buttery and garlic and basted in a delicious pesto sauce. The bread that went with this dish was perfect to soak up all the sauce. Duck Leg Confit: The salad greens paired with this dish were too salty in my opinion. The duck leg itself had crispy skin and tender meat that was slightly difficult to pull off, and I wish the portion size was a bit bigger for this bite and price. Still a great place that does French comfort foods! read more

One of my favorite wine bar spots! Their food was good and they also have wine flights on the menu with different variations if you're not sure what to get. It does get super loud so it's more of a bar vibe than a casual spot. It also gets bus so if you're in a big group, I would recommend giving a call. The staff were friendly with the wine recommendations! read more

Amélie - Beef Filet Mignon Carpaccio - Wine Bars Near Me - San Francisco, California

I visited recently as I had a $15 in-Kind (reservation app) discount & every time that I've passed this place, it looked like a fun Euro-party was going on. I made reservations for a Friday at 5:30PM to catch the tail end of Happy Hour & to hear the DJ that starts at 7PM. It was VERY loud inside so we opted to sit outside. Several of the happy hour menu items were not available so we had the artichoke (the only HH item we had) which was (3.5/5), Amelie salad (4/5), pan con tomate (2.5/5) but I didn't really care for it, beef carpaccio (4/5), champignon flats (4/5) & truffle potatoes (3/5) as I couldn't detect any truffle. I really wanted beef tartare but it's not on the menu anymore. We opted for cocktails instead of wine & I had the Saint German 75 & my friend had the white Negroni. Drinks were pretty good. The loud music made the restaurants fun but good luck trying to have a conversation. It's more of a fun party place & lounge. Overall 3.5. read more

I found this place to be a bit overhyped. My friend and I arrived around 8 PM hoping to sit inside, but it was extremely crowded and felt chaotic right from the start. After some waiting, we were finally able to get drinks, but ended up outside, which wasn't much better -- it was still very loud and hard to enjoy a conversation. Unfortunately, the wine didn't impress me either, and the overall experience felt disorganized and stressful rather than relaxing. With all the hype, I expected a much smoother, more enjoyable visit. Between the crowded interior, the loud outdoor area, and the underwhelming wine, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Cute French wine bar with an amazing happy hour deal! Loved the daily flatbread which had a good portion size and the croquetas. Also really enjoyed the happy hour wine flight. You can choose 3 wines from a couple preset categories for a solid price. I would encourage making a reservation since happy hour does got a bit busy. Overall a good spot for post work drinks, date night, or hanging with friends! read more

Great spot for happy hour with their choose your own 3-pour flights for $13. On Friday to Sunday, happy hour starts at 2pm which is unheard of! Vibes inside are sooo good, very cozy and inviting. The booth seating is very comfortable and makes you want to stay a while. Servers were welcoming and friendly and they made great recommendations. We got some warm baguette on the side with our wine and it was hitting the spot. Didn't try any other food this time, so we'll definitely have to come back for that. I can see how this is a popular spot, the wonderful ambiance and romantic lighting are the perfect backdrop for a date or to catch up with the girls. Can't wait to come back to this spot! read more

WOW! This is definitely a new favorite in the city. We stopped by for drinks and happy hour on a weekday. The ambiance in here is just so cute. It's a little dark and cozy but the bar area is gorgeous. The service is just slightly slow but it is quite a rush in here, so that is understandable. We got the wine flight, which is a tremendous deal with 3 pours for about $12. There is a good variety to choose from, and we got a white, rose, and orange wine. They were super delicious and the pours were generous for the price point. We also got the mushroom flatbread and crispy cauliflower. The flatbread was crispy and cheesy. It had a great flavor and crunch. The cauliflower was astounding. I would come back just for the cauliflower. Wow. The flavoring was so spot on and it was just absolutely delicious. The bill was served inside a book, which was such an adorable touch. I love this place for a quick happy hour drink and bite! read more

Came here for their happy hour wine flight -- such a great deal! The interior of this wine bar is nicely decorated. My friend and I got seated in a pair of theater folding chairs in front of a low table, which was very strange because then we were seated very close but facing forward and had to turn to talk to each other. We loved all the wines we tried, and I could see this being a cute date spot. We sat next to the door and it was quite drafty; I wish the door could have been closed.
