    I love this place. We sat at the bar, introduced to new wines with great pairings, had great conversations, and was extremely comfortable. I even bought a bottle because the label was so close to my name... lol so immature but epic! What more can you ask for? Oh, the pricing is absolutely perfect. I look forward to going back and I wish they had a membership option because I'd get the premium package. I loved the overall experience. Touchdown

    Best wine bar in the city! Cozy, intimate, great wine selection + delish bar bites. So happy this place exists.

    Stellar, curated wine menu in a quaint neighborhood spot. Seating has expanded now with tables outside. A must for us each time in SF.

    A lovely and intimate wine bar in Russian HIll. This is a great date spot as the ambiance of the place really sets a romantic mood with the lighting, seating, and chandelier. They have a great wine list to explore and you can bring in outside food from some of the cute restaurants nearby. I came here with my boyfriend and his friend and started at the two lush couches in the front. It made for an intimate location for us to chat, eat some pizza we brought, and watch people walk by. After finishing up the food we moved up to the bar and conversed with the bartender who was very friendly and as well as other bar goers. Definitely a spot to check out if you're looking for a romantic drink.

The burrito salad was alright, could have used a little more flavor in my opinion. I really like the small plates and sharing atmosphere of this place, and appreciate all of the vegetarian forward options. The space is small and intimate, definitely great for a date night or girls night! I will say if you make a reservation (I'd recommend, it's a small place and gets busy) be sure to be prompt as part of our group was running about 10 minutes late, and the servers kindly let us know we only had the table for an hour and a half, which is fairly strict on weekends.

    Came by on a Sunday during happy hour. We ordered a few food items off the happy hour menu: hummus…read moreand muhammara (a must!) with pita, aleppo fries, and falafel. We also ordered the non-happy hour burrata salad and the filet kebab. Our server was very attentive, though our main food items were somehow forgotten and we had to remind them.. but once they arrived, everything was great! I loved the pomegranate in the burrata salad. I also appreciated the non-alcoholic options, including my favorite Fentiman's rose lemonade. I would definitely recommend this place, especially for happy hour. My only small critique is the restroom, since the entire restaurant is so classy and chic, it would have been the perfect finishing touch if the restrooms matched the same vibe.

The people were laughing, the drinks were flowing. It smelled really good, which we would later find out was from the food especially that Mac and cheese. We started off with different wines, some that Tom recommended based on what we told him we didn't like or did like. He apologized for our previous experience and was genuinely a nice guy. Honestly it's very admirable for a business owner to take feedback to heart and want to incorporate it. Plus he's a really cool guy when you get to know him. The staff was busy running around but still made time to come check on us. Our final verdict is we came on a bad day. This time we got the actual Waystone experience. We finally got to try the chicken bites with a creamy aioli, fries with yogurt sauce, and the star of the show was the Mac and cheese. Tik tok did live up to the hype and we will have to come back for one of their jazz nights. Be warned this place gets busy! But it's worth it.

    Waystone is technically a wine bar, but spiritually it's a community living room disguised as a…read morejazz lounge with snacks. Yes, the wine is excellent..(not selling you 'natural' actively fermenting bottles) thoughtfully curated... the cab franc , interesting without being pretentious. Yes, the bites hit (shoutout to the watermelon salad). But what really makes Waystone magic is the people. Everyone who works here is warm, funny, and present in a way that makes you feel like you belong, whether it's your first visit or your 50th. Live jazz nights here are their own kind of therapy. I once saw a harpist who made me feel like I was floating inside the music. No cover, no pressure, just ridiculously good musicians making the whole place glow. One thing I love: the rotating local art. The walls change every so often as new artists take over, and it completely shifts the energy of the space. You might not love every piece, but that's kind of the point--it's alive, it's personal, and it's supporting real artists in SF. And if you do love something, you can take it home (yep, everything's for sale). Whether you're here for the jazz, the wine, the art, or the people.. waystone shows up with soul. I'd give it six stars if I could.
