    Smoked Salmon Toast Points
    Cami R.

    Have recently been loving coming to Cafe Meuse during the week for a glass or two of wine! The food here is great and makes for the perfect weeknight treat! Service is great and quick especially with the food! Also have gotten some great recommendations on reds here! I would say the best tip, especially with the weather getting warmer, would be to sit outside! There is great people watching and some dogs outside as well if you're lucky!

    Cozy table for two and excellent wines, with charcuterie plate
    Dessy G.

    Cafe Meuse is my absolute favorite wine bar in San Francisco. It has that perfect 90s San Francisco flair -- intimate, charming, and understated cool. Their curated collection of French and California wines is wonderful (at great price point) and the cheese plates are always fresh and generous, along with other delicious small bites that never disappoint. It's my go to spot for an afte work glass of wine with friends, and it's also where I bring out of town guests to experience that quintessential SF vibe. Located on Hyde Street in Nob Hill, with the cable car passing by it feels like a classic San Francisco. The staff are consistently warm, friendly, and accommodating, which makes every visit feel special. I can't recommend it enough

    bubbles flight
    Jamie K.

    This place has my fav vibes - very sparkly and cozy and nice :) !! We got the bubbles flight, but the other flights are also super nice deals and are def what we'll come back for. The bites also hit the spot - meatballs were tasty and we always love a fresh burrata crostini. Server was quick and attentive, and it was relatively spacious inside. parking is rough here but when is it not ! Overall would def return:)

    Mixed Charcuterie

    I've been to Cafe Meuse twice and both times I've enjoyed it. The wine selection is fantastic, the food is really good and reasonably priced, and the service is welcoming and friendly. I've been seated right away both times; the place is cute and cozy with warm lighting and there's quite a bit of seating at the bar and tables placed throughout the space, as well as tables to sit outside on a nice day. They also have good happy hour prices. Recommend if you're in the neighborhood looking for a delicious glass of vino.

    Cafe Meuse was such a cute wine bar, and a perfect spot to meet up for a happy hour. They have $2 off their glasses of wine between 5PM and 7PM, which is not an amazing deal, but better than you will find in most of the city. We ordered a Kir Royale and a bottle of wine which was really delicious. The server was very sweet, and split the one Kir Royale between the two of us in two separate glass which I really appreciated, and didn't expect at all. The cafe is very cute, and had some beautiful decorations for the holidays. Definitely a place I'd like to return to.

    Great wine and servers. We had a fabulous time here. Highly recommend if you are in the area!

    This place has a great selection of very decently priced wines. You feel like you are sitting in a wine cellar inside and they also have nice outdoor tables. Their wine flights are awesome - very generous pours for a great price (it's basically three full glasses of wine). Highly recommend. If you want food, they also have a small menu.

    Easily my favorite wine spot in the city. Cafe Meuse is a intimate wine bar located right in the heart of Nob Hill. It is right next to the iconic trolley lines so it makes a great people watching spot. Service is always fast and friendly and I have never had to wait to be seated. Food: I have tried both a charcuterie board, a mac n cheese, and a rosemary creme brûlée. All items were a 5/5 and well priced. Wines: I have done both individual tastings as well as flights. There is a good selection to choose from and the staff or so nice and knowledgable in explaining everything. They are also really accommodating in swapping different wines out for something else. Overall: If you are in Nob Hill and looking for some wine, look no further. Just make your way down to Cafe Meuse.

    Combo Board
    Lizzie S.

    I wanted some outdoor dining one Friday night after a rough week at the home office, and my friend Sam suggested Cafe Meuse, one of his favorite wine bars. Located in Nob Hill (some reviews say Russian Hill, but I think it's just a smidge closer to Nob Hill), get ready to walk up and down some hills to get there, but it will be worth it--I love the ambiance and vibe. It's a hidden gem among the hills and near the Hyde St cable car line! Sam was doing keto so he was limited in what he could order. I shared a mixed charcuterie board ($15), truffle mac n cheese, and burrata bruschetta with another friend and everything was filling and yummy. Sam got the combo plate ($21) which is described as assorted charcuterie with havarti & smoked gouda cheeses, olives, artichokes & crostini. The one complaint was that the bruschetta was gone too fast, and the truffle mac n cheese could've been bigger! I usually don't like truffles (not a fan of mushrooms) but added to something as homey and delicious as mac n cheese, I did not mind it at all! The charcuterie board is large and has quite a bit of pickles, and olives as well as prosciutto di parma, italian dry salami, hot coppa, sopressata, crostini, and cornichons. We also got some wine recommended to us by our server, and each paired perfectly with our shared small plates. This wine bar would be perfect for date night, girls' night, and any night. I will be back, and as it can be windy, I'll be back with a warmer jacket!

    Ahi Tuna Tartare, mac and cheese, cheval blanc
    Jon L.

    Covid update: open for outdoor dining Still a quaint neighborhood wine bar for evening wine and small plates albeit sans the familiar sounds of the cable car for now. Friendly staff work hard to serve the expanded outdoor tables along the sidewalk. Not a parklet but still relaxed and decently comfortable. Enjoyed sharing small plates like the cheese plate, tuna tartare, and mac and cheese washed down with a bottle of cheval blanc. The chill of outdoor dining make hot dishes like the mac and cheese less appealing but highly enjoyed the tuna! With the sun setting later now, Cafe Meuse is a good spot to catch the last bit on sunshine with a glass or two.

It was pretty lit. Got to spend with my friend "Will", shout out lmao and friends and sister too

    HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE…read more My friends and I came here to celebrate my boyfriend's little sister's 25th birthday around 12:40 a.m. on 8/1/26, and the night was ruined within minutes. Our first stop was the upstairs restroom by the stairs. The bar was busy, but the first floor wasn't overcrowded. To give some context, the restroom is located right next to the staircase. I was waiting in line, and my boyfriend's little sister was standing only a few feet away from me. The stairs were not blocked. A man suddenly walked up to her and immediately screamed in her face, "You need to move. You can't block the stairs." She stepped over. Instead of leaving it at that, he got even closer to her face and yelled, "YOU NEED TO MOVE UP OR DOWN." Like most people would, she defended herself after having a stranger scream inches from her face. She responded, "Okay then go. I'm not blocking you." He continued hovering over her, repeatedly shouting, "UP OR DOWN." She replied, "Stop telling me to move. You move!" That's when he yelled, "THIS IS MY PLACE. GTFO," grabbed her aggressively by the arm, and forcibly dragged her out. This all happened within about 10 minutes of us arriving. The man was wearing a fitted hat with a black tee. Had a tatted colored sleeve with some green. I'm not sure if he was the owner or the manager, but I've never seen someone with such a short temper treat a customer this way. If there had been a misunderstanding, all he had to do was calmly identify himself as staff and explain what he needed. Instead, he escalated the situation from the very beginning by screaming in her face and then physically removing her after she responded to being yelled at. No man should put his hands on a woman with that kind of force, especially when she was not being physically aggressive or threatening anyone. She never touched him. She only defended herself verbally after being screamed at. As a result, she was left with visible marks on her arm. This was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. No customer should be treated this way. We came to celebrate a birthday, and instead watched someone abuse their authority and turn a simple misunderstanding into a physical confrontation. I hope management takes this seriously because no one should have to worry about being manhandled over something that could have been resolved with a calm conversation.

When I first walked to the bar, one of the bartenders came over and asked what I wanted to order. I politely asked if they had the ingredients to make an Aperol Spritz since I noticed several spritz options on the menu. Instead of simply saying no, she rolled her eyes, grabbed a menu, handed it to me roughly, and said, "Order something that's actually on our menu." She then immediately walked away to help other customers and never returned to acknowledge me again. I was genuinely confused by the interaction because I didn't feel my question was unreasonable, especially at a cocktail bar with multiple spritzes listed on the menu. I've never had a bartender respond that way to a simple drink inquiry.... Thankfully, another bartender (she was the Asian one) later noticed I hadn't been helped. She was very friendly, attentive, and made my drink without any issues. Had it not been for her, I likely would have left immediately. Unfortunately, the first bartender's behavior made the atmosphere feel awkward and unwelcoming. I finished my one drink and left shortly afterward because I no longer felt comfortable staying. I understand bars get busy, but basic courtesy goes a long way. The contrast between the two bartenders' service was striking. I hope management takes customer service seriously because no guest should feel dismissed or mocked for asking a simple question about a drink.
