Respite was first on my radar screen after stopping by a nearby cake business back in Sept 2024. But I have only recently stepped inside to do Too Good To Go late night pickups on 10/16/25 and 11/6/25. This is one of many newer businesses along the stretch of Stone Way N from Seattle's Wallingford to Fremont neighborhoods. This is a nice, intimate spot with welcoming staff. There are both table and counter seating on the main floor, additional seating on the upper floor. Pleasant, cozy ambiance with wall art, merch, and low light. Quite a large variety of wine bottles to imbibe onsite or peruse for purchase and takeout. Judging from my TGTG pickups, they have a great baked goods source/purveyor whether from onsite or obtained elsewhere. I've been able to enjoy quality baguettes, artisan loaves, sweet and savory baked goods. This is indicative that onsite menu items are high quality to accompany any apps/small plates/charcuterie plates and glasses of wine. I look forward to someday an actual onsite visit to experience this first hand.

I've sat at the bar and enjoyed a vibrant glass of sparkling wine with a zucchini mozzarella gallette, French onion gallette, or a warm baguette and country sourdough. I've enjoyed a chocolate cake with delicious chocolate ganache for dessert. Carrot cake and shortcake with fluffy whipped cream are lovely as well.. that's the good stuff. Plus, the staff are all incredibly nice. Definitely check this place out - it's a date night kind of vibe, so bring your significant other or go for a first date!!

As someone who is just getting into wine, this is a great place to try a bunch of different things!…read moreThis is a self serve wine bar with over 50 wines on tap, and I love that you can buy 1 oz pours so you can sample different regions and styles of wine. The servers here are very enthusiastic and friendly and will help you on your wine journey of finding what you like! Every wine is labeled with the country of origin, the grape type, and flavors you can expect. This made it super easy to compare and contrast the different wines and taste what makes each wine unique. My favorite wines are dessert wines, and they had an amazing port and sherry. Everything they have here, you can buy a bottle of, and I loved the port so much I bought one to take home. While you're probably coming here for wine, the food is also pretty good. They have classic European wine snacks like charcuterie boards and tinned fish. My favorite however, was probably the burrata. Burrata is already one of my favorite cheeses, but the juicy tomatoes, fresh basil, and peppery olive oil raised it to another level. It was like a really good caprese salad made even better by the toasted focaccia.

While I got complimentary $5 credit to try $1 / 1 oz (so 5 oz pours of different wines), the wine…read morewas so good that I opted to purchase more credits. I got to try a variety of wines all around the world with different variations including orange wine. I love that they mention the notes and what food pairs best with the wine. There is ample seating so I can see that there won't be much wait if at all stopping by at any hour they are open. Was a 4 star experience but 5 stars since they remedied the issue. I was initially overcharged to $10 when I only had 8 oz of wine but they were all $1 so they gladly adjusted the price. Note that today only (August 5) there were select wines at $1 for 1 oz and the regular price is $2-4 for 1 oz. But given the market price, that is still a fair price and I can see myself coming back paying regular pricing to bring friends along. It would be excellent if they do happy hours of $1 select wines and I will be hooked to be a repeat customer easily!

I don't look forward to leaving negative reviews but I felt strongly about this experience that it…read morewould be a disservice if I didn't address it. *Spoiler alert: long story/rant ahead. When I went for my first time. It was on a hot day this past June. Me and my partner thought we'd go and treat ourselves to a nice outing. Since I've always wanted to try this place due to hearing a bunch of good things from some colleagues. We set our eyes on a late lunch/ early dinner at Bottle House. Came in optimistic especially after being seated right away in their outdoor patio section. We were off to a great start, until it turned into a lot of waiting. We gave the benefit of the doubt assuming they were just busy. It wasn't until we saw a few groups that got seated after us get their order taken before us that we decided to flag someone down. Once we did, we were told to wait a few more moments because another group had to be checked on before we could get our orders taken. Surprisingly we were still in good spirits. We ordered our drinks, as well as our food so we could be set. Then afterwards our drinks came. This is where my experience spiraled down. I picked up my wine glass filled with this Bordeaux wine that I was excited to try. Pressed the rim against my lip and took my sip. It hit me like a hot flash. The temperature of this wine was warmer than warm. It also wasn't just my wine but my partners's as well. So we managed to get a servers attention, voiced our concern and asked if we could order a different drink. I decided to go with a cocktail and my partner decided to order the Chardonnay. When they dropped off our new drinks, they happened to be the wrong drinks. What had happened was they were a different tables drinks and when we flagged the same server down. they already seemed annoyed that we were gonna address a discrepancy. We eventually got the right drinks then our food. At that point we just wanted to drink our drinks and finish our food. I enjoyed the food flavor wise, but I wasn't satisfied with the amount of food for the price I paid. If it was one of the better things I ate in my life I would be happy with paying however much for the amount of food I got. Sadly that wasn't the case. White wine was chilled so it was good and I liked the Chardonnay. The old fashion wasn't akin to a typical old fashion. It was more like a boulevardier, not as whiskey forward, but more alcoholic. Not my favorite old fashion All in all this review was geared towards service, and quality of the drinks. Especially if you're supposed to be known for the variety of wines you serve. I would hope you can serve them at a decent temperature. Based off this experience alone, I wouldn't personally suggest them if someone was looking for a recommendation.
