I've been here many times, and will be many more, and so I owe them a positive review! Service is always great and yesterday was a demonstration of that. One of my items was rung in wrong and not only did they promptly fix it, they sincerely apologized for it, and gave me another pour to make up for it! I am LOVING the new menu-- which now includes sake! The staples remain too, including my personal favorite: Cheez Whiz. The snacks are just so unique, delish, and totally affordable. The staff is also great at pairing your wine with them when you ask :)

First time ever coming to this dining establishment. Let me just say, WOW!…read more I came with a coworker who is as wine club member here and told me to come with them to try their food. So I arrived early and sat outside waiting, Adria was my server and she was such a lovely lady who was attentive and asked me how my first time being there is. I ordered the burger with fries, and their hibiscus non alcoholic drink. The drink, FABULOUS! It reminded me of Jamaica (Mexican drink) and it tasted just the same. The burger, MY GOODNESS! It was cooked to perfection, the burger had flavor, leaving me speechless. The ambiance was so cute, and very busy on a Wednesday night when we went to eat. The place overall was really nice, I would def come back to this place forever!

The place is very cute inside and out, there is a ton of seating and the seating outside is covered and shaded. We sat outside after getting there with no reservation, but many tables had the "reserved" sign. We were sat and served very quickly, and our waitress was very helpful and nice. The menu is seasonal/subject to changes based on local vendors and what's available in season. I ordered the Mediterranean salad and added chicken on the side. The salad was delicious and so filling, and the chicken was flavorful and cooked just right (not dry). I loved my meal and will definitely come back to try more of the delicious options they have.

I was just walking around when I saw Hannah put out a sign outside the door upon opening. I had no…read moreidea this place was here and wouldn't have if not for being nosey and seeing the sign be put out. I was in casual walking attire but the place is elevated and welcoming. There are tables with chairs, couches, and a bar with seating. Theres also shelves and a fridge to purchase bottles. Wednesday's you get $10 off bottles I was greeted and well taken care of by Hannah. I sampled two reds and settled on the chilled cab for the evening. Their kitchen is not open during the week so keep that in mind. I am excited to come back and try the bites. The chef came from the Kitchen, so you know it should be good! I greatly appreciate the thought and intention behind sourcing the wines. Organic/regenerative vineyards, small family businesses, and supports women and minority owned too. Excited to continue to support this little hidden gem that should not be so hidden!

I was checking out my old stomping grounds and happened upon this spot while walking around…read more Pleasantly surprised to find this airy, wine bar filled with large format paintings by local artists. They also sell wine by the bottle and I love the fact that they feature independent wine producers. On the weekends they have food although I didn't try anything on the menu this go around. Because I was driving, I got a half pour of their local red using carbonic fermentation. Chatting with the server, I realized that this was just what I needed: a calming respite from walking around while savoring a delicious glass of red. They have a wine membership with two options at $60 for two bottles or $150 for three bottles a month. Lovely concept and space, will be back for sure!

We went on a Wednesday night around 8 PM, it was really chill and there were a few people here and there. They also have an upstairs seating area, which is nice and cozy as well! Service was nice and attentive, when we walked in, we were given a menu about what drinks were being served and we were given a quick overview on the days throughout the week and what events are being held in what music is being played, which is really cool! We were also told they do have a record day where you can come in and bring your own vinyl and they will play it along with other records that customers bring which is so fun! Overall, the place is super small and cozy, great aesthetic and it is in downtown so there isn't a dedicated parking lot.

Since it was a beautiful afternoon we chose to sit outside and watch the world go by. We chose our cheese and meats for the charcuterie board going with suggestions of our server. The cheese selection is vast and many of them we had never heard of. There were several goat cheese options which I was extremely happy with, it being one of my favorite cheeses. The menu also includes soups,salads, a variety of grilled cheese sandwiches and Mac and cheese. Definitely something for everyone. We thoroughly enjoyed our cheese board, the wine and the chance to sit a while and soak up the quaint atmosphere of Midtown. Definitely check out The Rind when visiting Sacramento.

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of visiting The Wine Window in downtown Sacramento (1111 L St),…read moreand I've honestly been late writing this review--but better late than never! This hidden gem offers an experience that's unlike anything else in the city. The setup is simple but charming: you literally walk up to a window and order your wine. I believe it's one ring for white, two for red, and three or four for sparkling--don't quote me on that, but it adds a playful, old-world vibe that makes the whole experience memorable. The Wine Window is affordable, laid-back, and surprisingly quaint. It's the kind of place where the ambiance, the people, and the energy make it feel more like an experience within an experience--not just a drink stop. I had the chance to chat with John, the owner, who shared a bit of the backstory. He previously owned a full wine room nearby, but when the pandemic hit, he had to pivot. Instead of calling it quits, he leaned into a smaller, more intimate concept inspired by wine windows in Europe. Honestly, I think the scale makes it even better. The outdoor patio is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine while people-watching on L Street, and yes, there's even a restroom available (a rare but very appreciated amenity for this type of setup). If you find yourself downtown, do yourself a favor--swing by The Wine Window, have a chat with John, and enjoy a unique Sacramento experience.

If you ever need to do a business dinner meeting this is a perfect spot. They have a private dining room with a widescreen TV to run video presentation or slideshow; and doors for complete privacy Our server/bartender was so awesome. So accommodating. We had the perfect amount of food and variety. They have a full bar, with variety of wine and alcohol. Our party ordered champagne, wine and a few cocktails. To start, we had the beet salad, crispy pork belly, Brussels sprouts, and flat iron steak. For dinner we all shared the steak salad, shrimp scampi bucatini, baked ziti, Mac and Cheese, and roasted chicken Our compliments to the chef...Everything had so much flavor and there was no disappointing anyone in our party. We ended with a little cheesecake, and cookie bar. We will definitely return in the not so distant future.

My mother-in-law went to find a staff person and they pointed us to a table with a reserved sign. It took awhile before our table was acknowledged, but we did eventually receive menus and have our drink orders taken. This certainly isn't a place to eat when you're in a hurry. Again, there was a lag between our drinks being ordered and coming out to the table. The cocktails themselves were very enjoyable and well crafted. The drinks and some appetizers held us over until dinner came out. Overall, the food turned out to be worth the wait! That was a pleasant surprise after the service started out so roughly. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and that was enough to bring this dinner up from a 3 to a 4 star experience! I really hope they're able to hire in more staff because they serve some great food and beverages.

My partner and I celebrated our one year anniversary here and had a fabulous time. Our server was…read moreamazing, the service was impeccable and the food lived up to the expectations. We got the three course option: antipasti, an entree and dessert. I picked the porchetta tonnato ( pork belly salad) for the antipasti, scallop for entree and ciambella for dessert. They also brought out palate cleansers and complimentary prosecco for our anniversary which was so appreciated. The scallop was the most tender scallop I've ever tasted, it just melts in your mouth and perfectly seared. The ciambella has limocrllo macaropone, so soft and not overly sweet on a layer of olive oil cake. Reservations are a must. I booked a week before hand and there were limited availability. I would definitely come back for a special occasion! The parking lot is TINY but there are plenty of street parking.

They give you an a small bite in the beginning, bread along the way and a palette cleanser. Also give you free champagne or sparkling apple juice when you walk in if you are celebrating something special, which I thought was a nice touch. They call you ahead of time about their menu as it is a bit different method. You pay either $99 for 3 courses, $129 for 4 or $159 for 5. We usually got with the 3 courses and they let you pick a pasta, entree and desert in that. We felt like that was more than enough food. They also have a vegetarian menu that you can choose from, which I thought was nice in case of any dietary restrictions. I was able to pick from both menus so they are very flexible when it comes to what you choose for your courses. If you get the pasta, the fettuccine is a must try. So flavorful! The chicken was also amazing for entree. And the dessert, the most popular is the bomboloni for a reason. The gelato that comes with it is so unique. We also tried the bares dj ciccolato but agreed that the bomboloni was our favorite. Definitely worth getting! Loved our experience here overall and would definitely go back again.
