21 Best Wine Bars near Half Moon Bay

“Great selection of wines and good music and friendly wait staff!“

“Our family has eaten here countless times and it’s completely amazing. The family who owns it are so kind and you can tell the Paella is an old recipe, which is confirmed to be grandmother’s recipe. It’s never dry, never overly soupy, and the seafood is so fresh being next to the ocean. The lobster bisque has ruined me for any other lobster bisque on earth. It has a perfect balanced taste of Smokey, spicy and sweet and it’s not thick and gloppy. The service is always so attentive and kind. You can tell how much they care about their establishment. It’s always so consistent. I love supporting this business.“

“This is my "go to" place in Burlingame! Fantastic wine selection , nice cool vibe. Austin, and Drea, as well as Jason (owner ), are extremely knowledgable. If you are looking for interesting wine, and a chill atmosphere, this is it. They have Thursday night wine events that are a great value to taste new wines. They get prominent wine makers, and wineries from major areas to have tastings throughout the year as well. They have small bites to nosh with your wine. :)“

“Just had a great experience, love this place! The vibe is so cool, the owner is very friendly, attentive and takes the time to get to know you. This place is a coastal gem with a casual local atmosphere. I will definitely be back with family and friends.“

“Food was good, but did not particularly stand out compared to other dumpling places. Had great service from one server, but the rest were very stressed and hurried. It was hard to get their attention. Food presentation was great and they surprisingly have a large bar. I would come back again and try different items.“

“Love the indoor/patio ambience Menu selection,,,food ,,,,especially variety of bruschettas Drink selection as well,,,, mimosas,,,sangria Would like more live music“

“Very good! Loved getting the peanuts and cabbage salad as we sat down.

The best:
- pork and chive dumplings
- spicy wontons

Good:
- ground pork and tofu golden soup
- bbq steam buns

Underwhelming:
- cucumber salad. Normally I love this dish, but the flavor of the sesame oil and garlic did not come through on the cucumber. It tasted like the cucumbers were plated immediately after being crushed and chopped instead of getting some salt and 5-10 minutes of rest.“

“extremely bad tasting food and bizzare combinations....miffed at kichadi like biryani with no flavour and being served with aam ka achar....god knows how this restaurant got Michelin star rating ....Shame on the chefs and the owners for ripping off the customers with overpricing of the food for poor service, absence of any ambience or decor“

“great service from the staff , good food , good ambience“

“Great food and place . Love it“

“Nice all the time“

“I would like to share my disappointing experience at this restaurant last night regarding the reservation process and customer service.
Before arriving, we called the restaurant to make a reservation. The staff member who answered told us to make a reservation through Yelp. I explained that Yelp was not allowing us to book, which was the reason we called directly. She then told us that she would put us in the system and that our table would be ready in about 20 minutes, which worked perfectly for our drive to the restaurant.
However, when we arrived and informed the hostess that we had a reservation, she immediately told us that the restaurant does not take reservations and operates on a first-come, first-served basis. I even showed her the sms confirmation from my phone.This was very confusing and frustrating because we had just spoken with someone who confirmed our reservation over the phone.
As a result, we arrived expecting a table to be ready, only to find out that no reservation existed. We were dining with a child, so the unexpected wait made the situation even more difficult.
I understand that restaurants can be busy, but clear and consistent communication is very important. If reservations are not accepted, this should have been communicated honestly during the phone call. The conflicting information made us feel misled and disappointed with the service experience.
I hope management can review this situation with the staff to prevent similar misunderstandings for future guests.“

“Great service, delicious food and beautiful decorations.“

“Good food. Good service. Good atmosphere.“

“Wonderful “white table cloth” bistro experience.“

“This place is delightful in everything - hospitality, attention to details… checking if everythibv is to patrons’ liking… - we were offered to move to a larger table to feel more comfortable. Food is AMAZING. Just that. Ok, our group was probably hungry after a walk in cold weather. But the first drink of the Greek IPA, first bite of calamaris or octopus prepped to perfection, the delightful ceviche… - all felt heavenly.

Our whole group asked for second servings of aromatic beer (new to us), all souvlakis kinds were delightful. At the end, an amazing desert miraculously appeared, and I don’t even do deserts usually - ate it all and scraped the plate.

Highly recommended place to come for dinner or to stop for a drink + appetisers, and I am certainly hoping to be back soon.“

“Hannah is so amazing! She’s so attentive and checked in on us even before our drinks were on L (bottomless who?!) and on a Wednesday! She has amazing recommendations! But if you’re a beer bottler like me, make sure to have a cocktail list on the roster because they only have 3 beers on rotation 🫠 we also need to help the owner fill up the rest of the liquor shelf!
Suggestions: Sailor Jerry’s: who doesn’t love a good spiced rum?
