A tiny restaurant can make a big impression because I'm still thinking about everything I ate here. The food was fabulous and so thoughtful. The brie & proscuitto crostinis come on a thin, crispy baguette layered with a proscuitto that was so creamy and salty, it went so well with the freshness of the microgreens, the crunch of the nuts and the sweet drizzle of hot honey with a tingle of spice. loved this! They offer diverse options for the charcuterie board (I chose the pick 3) so you can make so many pairings Brooke was stellar, super attentive even when it was packed. and I loved her recommendations! she knows what she's talking about and we love that!!!

My mom hadn't eaten all day, so we made the 30-minute drive to St. Pete hoping for a better experience, and it was absolutely worth it. From the moment we arrived, Chris and his team took amazing care of us. The hospitality, attentiveness, and overall atmosphere made us feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. What could have ended as a ruined Mother's Day became a memorable brunch thanks to the team at Sauvignon. Big shout out to Chris and everyone there for going above and beyond. Excellent service makes all the difference, and we truly appreciated it.

The menu is fairly limited, but their house-made pastas are out of this world! I had one of their specials featuring pasta and airline chicken, which was excellent. My friend ordered another pasta dish, her husband had the fish special and my husband ordered the filet, which was cooked perfectly for him. Portions are on the smaller side, but still very filling. My husband and I each started with a Caesar salad. I forgot to ask for it without anchovies, and they gave the salad a very strong, fishy flavor. If you're not a big anchovy fan like me, I'd recommend ordering it without. Service was excellent for a busy Friday night. Our server was friendly and helped guide us with wine recommendations. He was spot on, and the wines paired beautifully with the meals we chose. Definitely a great spot for a cozy dinner in the heart of Central Ave.

Basically everything I could ask for from a lounge. Plus, the owner was kind, helpful, knowledgable and attentive. The wine tap is a fun time. You receive a card and use that to fill your glass (1oz, 3oz and 6oz pours -- 1oz are discounted during happy hour). There's such a diverse variety of wines (more than two dozen), you could get lost in all of the good options. Something for all palates. I tried the small Sonoma board (which was discounted for happy hour) and it was a good-sized, cheese-focused board with solid combinations. the meat and cheeses come with cornichons, olives, and crackers. the caramelized balsamic onion jam was incredible with the sweet blueberry goat cheese and the spicy salami. It's definitely enough for a quick bite to soak up all the delicious wine.

It's giving cozy European bistro meets St. Pete soul -- the kind of place where time slows down, and every pour feels like a celebration. The ambiance is pure magic: twinkly lights, rustic wood tables, and that warm, unpretentious energy that makes you feel instantly at home. Whether you're there for a date night, solo sip, or to laugh too loudly with friends -- it's all fair game here. The wine list? A love letter to anyone who appreciates a good story in their glass. The staff actually knows their stuff and guides you like a trusted sommelier friend, not a snob. Every suggestion was a hit -- balanced, bold, and delightfully drinkable. And the food -- wow. The charcuterie board deserves its own round of applause: perfectly curated, generous portions, and those little flavor pairings that make you go quiet for a second because your taste buds are having a moment. The flatbreads and small plates were equally on point -- thoughtful, fresh, and full of personality. Lolita's isn't just a wine market; it's a vibe. It's where you go when you want to feel fancy without trying, or when you need to hit reset with a glass of something divine. Elite tip: grab a seat outside during golden hour -- order the board, let the staff pick your wine, and toast to St. Pete being this effortlessly cool.
