Trevino has exceptional service, cozy seats, and their wine selection is truly impressive. You can order by the glass or a bottle, but we opted for a tasting. We began with a sparkling wine from France, then the chardonnay, a California Orange wine, before trying a pinot noir from the Sonoma Coast. They also serve light snacks so we got the truffle chips, almonds and marinated olives. The best part about this space is the stunning light installation overhead by San Francisco-based artist, Jim Campbell, titled, 'Helical Trace.' Trevino has such a relaxed atmosphere and the staff is so knowledgeable, that you'll have a delightful experience. And, If you happen to visit Trevino during the day, the wine bar transforms into a coffee and pastry shop.

The service was great and friendly. It's also super close to the BART/MUNI station which is a plus! We got a flight each and some food to share. Food had small portion sizes and were more as appetizers, but delicious. We ordered the Spiced Eggplant Dip, Crab Arancini and Shiitake Mushroom Flatbread. My favorite was the Spiced Eggplant Dip as the dip was delicious. The flights change time to time, but I got the Be More Adventurous, which was all white wine flight and it didn't disappoint! The flight was 3 glasses and the price was reasonable. Overall, I really liked the ambiance and vibe of the place and will be back again for another wine night!

I met here with an acquaintance to discuss something important over drinks & we had a special time. The nature of our discussion was certainly influenced in a relaxed manner by the mild volume music playing, soft lighting, and high ceilings. The interior was beautiful, very custom lighting covers & wooden racks. Somewhat large selection of wines/sake but it wasn't overwhelming due to the simplified menu that they provided. Service was top tier, a server stopped by about three times to collect empty containers, refill water, and check-in about how the drinks were. With a friendly expression on their face each time. The lucky dog sake juice box and beer combo was SUUUUCH a good move! I've been a fan of the lucky dog/cat/chicken brand, for their fun packaging of beers. However, I did not know that they craft sake wine boxes too. That is out of this world! And I believe that, to use a baseball metaphor, they "hit the ball out of the park!" On this one. The beer wasn't half bad either. Would I recommend going to Millay? Hell yeah dude!!!

It's not too far from the main street in the area, and the moment I got out of my uber, I knew this place would be a vibe! I came here at 7:30pm the day after Christmas, so it was empty. I love the vibe of Millay - artsy decor, pink neon lights, and cute seats to sit in. I tried two different types of clean + fruity sake, and it came in such a cute ceramics! The cashier helped us choose, and we were able to taste it before purchasing. I also loved their basket of Asian chips! They even made it a lil fancy by cutting the top and making it look like a bowl haha. A great spot for a small social gathering of 2-4 people. I love the chill vibes and intimate setting. I will defs be back!

The vibe is effortlessly cool, the view is unbeatable, and the moment you walk in, the proprietor greets you like an old friend: hilarious, kind, and just genuinely welcoming. Their sparkling wine?

This place feels like one of those "out of the box" escapes -- tucked away, easygoing, and full of character. I'd come back here in a heartbeat (and I will). If you want great wine, good energy, and laughs with people who make you feel right at home, this is the spot. 100% recommend -- a hidden Bay Area gem worth discovering.

This review is long overdue…read more My friends and I booked a Champagne tasting for party of six. Going into this I had absolutely no idea of what to expect but was very pleasantly surprised with the experience. We tasted three different bottles of Champagne. These bottles aren't ones typically found at your standard chain wine store. Bill provided background information on each and led us in a discussion of the differences. He clearly has a passion for this and loved sharing his extensive knowledge. We opted to have cheese to nibble on while we sipped and chatted. There were two other parties there that night but ours was the largest. There are smaller rooms available but our party was in the main seating area. The experience lasted for several hours and is a must for anyone that loves Champagne. This would be a great experience for birthday party or celebration, for a group or a couple. I think the price is rather reasonable for this experience.

I want to be transparent at the outset: we ultimately did not visit, so this review is not about…read morethe Champagne, the space, or the in-person experience. It is specifically about the reservation handling and customer service we experienced. My partner and I recently moved to the Bay Area and enjoy exploring restaurants, wine, and tasting experiences. Our plan for Thursday, August 13, was to attend the San Francisco Champagne Society Happy Hour at 6:00 PM and then go to our confirmed 8:00 PM dinner at Lazy Bear. Our Lazy Bear reservation was correctly booked for August 13. My partner genuinely believed she had also selected August 13 when booking SFCS through Tock, but the completed reservation and reminder emails showed Wednesday, August 12. We do not know whether the date reset during booking or we simply made a selection error. Either way, we acknowledge that we failed to notice the date shown in those two emails and consequently missed the reservation. The next day, as soon as we discovered the problem, we contacted the owner. We did not request a cash refund. We asked whether our prepaid $102.90 Happy Hour reservation could be moved to an available time that day, either 5:00 or 6:00 PM. The owner explained that he had held two seats, prepared the space, and created a menu for the missed reservation. I understand that resources may have been used and that the original booking was designated nonrefundable. However, the only exception initially offered was an upgrade to a $125-per-person experience. The total would be $334.06, with our original $102.90 credited, requiring us to pay an additional $231.16. The first time offered was 7:00 PM, which would not work because of our 8:00 PM dinner. The owner later offered 5:30 PM under the same upgrade condition. Trying to reach a reasonable compromise, we proposed using our original payment for the same Happy Hour experience that day and separately purchasing a $75 or $125 experience that weekend. We explained that we are Champagne enthusiasts, had just moved here, and wanted to explore the different experiences step by step and potentially become repeat customers. The owner's final offer was that we prepay a completely new $125-per-person reservation for any date that month before a 3:00 PM deadline. Only if we made that new purchase--approximately $334.06--would he allow us to attend the previously paid Happy Hour at 5:00 PM that day. He also stated that we could dispute the charge and might win, that Tock's coverage would still pay him, and that we would then be unable to make any future reservations at his establishment. I understand that a business may enforce a nonrefundable no-show policy. If the answer had simply been a polite "no," I would have been disappointed but would have understood. What created such a negative impression was making a substantial, time-limited additional purchase the condition for any accommodation, even after we offered to purchase another experience separately that weekend. It felt less like a gesture of hospitality or a good-faith attempt to resolve an honest mistake and more like using the mistake as leverage to secure an immediate additional sale. The warning that a billing dispute would result in being barred from future reservations made the interaction feel even more adversarial. This was not about the $102.90 or an unwillingness to pay $125 per person. We were already prepared to make another paid reservation. It was about the principle involved and the way the situation was handled. Based solely on this customer-service experience, we decided not to visit or make any future reservations. Again, I cannot evaluate the Champagne or the on-site experience; this review concerns only the reservation process and the owner's handling of the issue.

Brando, the owner, is selling his own personal collection of wine, and is extremely knowledgeable and friendly. If you're traveling alone or looking for a chat, Brando is the place to go. Have a glass of phenomenal wine with hand picked charcuterie, cheese, fruit, and a freshly warmed French bread and butter melted on top while you watch the cable cars go by in North Beach. If you go on the weekend, there are bubbles sparkling in the sun from the laundromat across the street that makes you feel like you stepped into a romance novel about North Beach. Inside you'll find positive drawings and saying because the entire place is a chalk board! Leave your mark on Chez Brando while you listen to soft French music and enjoy.

Brando (the owner) took care of us the entire time, and you can immediately tell how deeply he knows and loves wine. In the most earnest and genuine way, too..... like you're sitting with someone who just genuinely wants you to experience something amazing. He shared stories about his background (including being a chemist and literally building his own argon system to preserve wines), and it all ties back to his mission: making truly high-end, rare wines accessible by the glass. We're talking wines from the 1940s, beautifully aged and thoughtfully served, plus unique fortified wines you just don't come across. Every single pour comes with a bit of history, and you leave feeling like you experienced something special. Beyond the wine, Brando himself makes the experience. He's warm, generous with his time, and clearly pours his heart into what he's built. It feels intimate, intentional, and really rare in the best way. If you love wine, or even just want to understand why people love wine, this place is absolutely worth your time.
