50 Best Wine Bars near Mill Valley

“food is top notch and the bar always manages to overcome being buried!!“

“Started with a pomegranate gimlet! Best Brussels sprouts ever! Beet salad, Dipsea pizza to die for. Yum. Great service-very personable-attentive-engaging. Food arrived in a timely manner and priced just right.“

“The food in this restaurant is delicious, I hope you have time to try it.“

“Food was very good (!!) but as others have mentioned: the portions are too small and left me unsatisfied. I’m a petite woman from Europe and this is not even a European sized meal. Make it more expensive (because I understand ingredients are expensive) and normal size, this would be fine for me. This way it feels kind of like a joke when you see the food after arriving.

Edit: I had the avocado ricotta toast“

“Aziza was an amazing experience! The atmosphere is beautiful, serene, and upscale. We were able to get a same-day reservation. The staff was even kind enough to move us to an earlier seating time.

Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and did a great job explaining the menu, particularly food allergies for our daughter. The main dishes took a little while to arrive, but our waiter explained that the cornbread is prepared that way to make it extra moist—and it was totally worth the wait! Every dish was unique and delicious. Ordered the roasted cauliflower, grilled octopus, short ribs, and buttered cornbread. The wines were perfectly chilled and crisp. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!“

“Amazing service and food!!!!“

“yes.

confit de canard was super overrated but loved the gigot d'agneau, couteaux, et pain perdu. orange wine delish too

“We had the most wonderful dinner at Sorella. The food was amazing, but the best part was our server Luca. She was absolutely incredible - so kind, so fun, so caring, so funny! @whoever is reading this, please give her a raise and promote her. Luca is the best!!!!“

“Julia was the best server! She had the most amazing recommendations. The house red blend was incredible. The ceviche was amazing, guacamole was a huge and delicious portion. Chips were great. Sopes were great. We’ll absolutely be back!“

“Lovely friendly Italian wine bar and delicious restaurant. Fresh innovative salads, pastas and main courses. Highly recommended.“

“Greeted by very kind and accommodating staff, we were originally a party of 3 which became 4 (1.5hrs later) then finally 7 (another 1hr later). They sat us at the back which was cozy and very relaxed then to the patio at the front when we became a larger group. We were probably a headache but they made all the accommodations effortlessly.

Wine: love the concept of being able to choose your own (selection displayed inside) or being served based on your craving. We enjoyed all the bottles we had, combo of chilled reds and orange wines.

Food: meat board, holy shit the prosciutto was delicious, so delicate and easy to eat, no chewiness at all. Really enjoyed the flatbread that came with it. My only complaint is the portion, wish I had more.

Overall, a great place for quality time and conversation. We never felt rushed. I almost felt bad for not ordering “enough” for such a big party.

All our serves were women who were all so kind and attentive…. Thank you ladies!!“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“Where do I begin! We were in the area to help move family back home to the Midwest and I left behind a bag full of gifts I bought earlier that day. I reached out to Millay’s Instagram and not only did the amazing owner, Angel (Angel indeed) meet me there during non-business hours, but she packed us a bag full of goodies for our 30 hour drive 🥹 I’ve worked in restaurants for 13 years and been to many across the country and I’ve never seen such a thing.

For people that don’t leave bags behind (haha) our bartender was so warm and welcoming and easy to talk to. (Leni?) and they had a type of wine I have not been able to find where I live in Minnesota - I was so excited to see it, didn’t hesitate to order it, and it was perfection.

Cute little place with chill vibes, you could start or end your night here, or plan your evening around it. :)

Experiences like this are why I’ve always gravitated to California. Thank you for reminding me why I consider it my true home.

Until next time 🩷🍶🍷“

“Lovely Peking Duck experience, highly recommend. Visited with a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday and it was a great choice. Each dish was well presented, rich in flavours and felt very fresh. I was pleasantly surprised about their XLB too!“

“This restaurant very accommodating to food allergies, so much so that they request to report any allergies on the food menu and are very professional when it comes to handling them.

I was blown away by the summer squash pizza and mascarpone/san marzano pizza! Some of the best I have ever had. Perfectly crispy crust with very complex complimentary flavors.

Check out the bathroom when you visit as well, it's very cozy.“

“Amelie San Francisco is a charming and intimate wine bar that perfectly captures a cozy, relaxed San Francisco vibe. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with dim lighting and a welcoming energy that makes it ideal for both date nights and casual hangouts.
The wine selection is thoughtfully curated, offering a great mix of familiar favorites and interesting discoveries. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to make recommendations based on your taste, which really enhances the experience.
Small plates pair beautifully with the drinks and are simple yet flavorful, making it easy to settle in for a long, enjoyable evening. Service is friendly, attentive, and never rushed.
Overall, it’s a lovely neighborhood gem that consistently delivers a great experience—definitely worth visiting again and again.“

“Amazing. Even one of our waiter was amazing. They forgot my sardines and they gave me mussels. Both were AMAZING. Drinks were amazing AND the staff were amazing as well. I dont usually leave reviews unless it is worth my time. Definitely a place to go“

“Excellent food! The prix fixed tasting menu was very generous and delicious. We were stuffed!“

“Walked by and like the look of the restaurant. It’s an intimate and comfortable space. The menu is tight with only a few selected options for appetizers and mains! Wine list is extensive and the recommended pairing with the food were spot on.

Service was excellent and watching the food prep sitting at the bar was nice.

Would definitely be coming back when visiting again!“

“Mog Asu Wine Bar in Tiburon is an absolute gem and a true 5-star experience. The wine selection is incredible, thoughtfully curated from around the world, with something for every palate. The service is exceptional, and the owners are some of the kindest, most thoughtful people you’ll meet. Their knowledge and passion for wine really elevate the entire experience.

The space itself is everything you could hope for: beautiful, inviting, and perfectly designed for a relaxed yet refined evening. This is exactly what Marin needed. I can’t recommend it enough!“

“fantastic little restaurant - excellent wine list and great beef bourgogne“

“I just spent my birthday here with a small group of close friends and had the absolute best service! Robert was our server, one of my friends came in early and decorated our table (we reserved one of the back patio tables which seats up to eight, which was ideal for a gathering) and we just had the best time!! amazing food that was so easily shareable, incredible wine cannot wait to have another reason to come back here to celebrate!“

“The exceptional service is enough to put The Patio on my favorite list 😊“

“It's always a great experience. I highly recommend it.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.“

“I must say i had high hopes but the meal was tasteless but my friends had too much salt. I wanted to like it. Wont return, wont recommend. ☹“

“This is the best wine bar I've ever been to. Live music, incredible food, stellar wine list, amazing atmosphere. I will be bringing dates here for sure.“

“Cute wine bar with open interior and small outdoor area facing the street. If it's good weather and you sit outside, it reminds me of a quieter cooler new york summer eating outside.

Food is ok, not amazing. The pictured salad was mediocre and the salami thing was too salty without enough stuff to balance out the salty. The wine was yummy but I'm no wine connoseriur.“

“How many restaurants in the Bay Area have an average rating of five on Google? This is the most understated and absolutely best restaurant in Marin. Why? What matters to me is the combination of unique and innovative food, service, and atmosphere. You can get one or two of these many aces, it's hard to find all three. Add to that that you get to sit at the counter and watch the chef prepare all your meals. And that there's only room for ten people every night. Chef Lance and Yo explain everything and the time just flies when there. We made the mistake of not ordering the caviar sampler. But when I saw how it was served to another guest, I knew I had to have it next time. You will not be disappointed.“

“Truly feels like a neighborhood bar in every sense at the highest level. Cozy, cute, welcoming, approachable, fun. I don't know how many other praises I can heap. My first experience will not be my last. Can't wait to visit again.“

“What an amazing and eclectic wine 🍷 list. Wines you won’t find anywhere else. Great food menu too.“

“Great wines and cool atmosphere“

“7 Adams is a fantastic spot for an anniversaryget away splurge. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, and the staff are incredibly attentive. Every plate arrives with an exquisite presentation that makes you feel like you’re at a Michelin star restaurant. The seasonal tasting menu is perfectly curated and the flavors are balanced. I’d say this is one of the best restaurants in San Francisco for fine dining. Highly recommend for a special occasion.“

“I recently hosted a party at Ora and it was such a great experience! The space is perfect for a variety of occasions whether you’re planning a happy hour, hosting a celebration, or just having a fun girls’ night out.

A special shoutout to our bartender, Sabrina, who was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and really helped make the night feel special for everyone.

The wine selection was excellent! Everything we tried was delicious and there was something for everyone to enjoy. Overall, the atmosphere was warm, stylish, and welcoming.

I’d definitely recommend Ora if you’re looking for a great spot to unwind or celebrate with friends.“

“Super cute wine bar just across the street from Cafe Zoetrope. We were there for a calligraphy class but my daughter was feeling ill so we sat outside for a bit. The sommelier was kind and empathetic; he offered us waters and was talking to her to make her feel less embarrassed. While we were waiting, he even helped a lady park her car. So while we didn't have wine or food, the service is top notch and we'll go back!“

“A delightful neighborhood venue 😊❗️“

“Everything is Very Good🥰🥰“

“Great team of real Pros! Husband Chef, Wife Wine Steward & Saul, my friend, Front of House…Outstanding!“

“A popular spot for a reason!! The vibe is very fun. Sometimes you can get dancing on tables on weekends - it depends. Seats fill up fast.
One note: they could make the outdoor area more lively so more people are inclined to sit there. Right now there are some great seating options but the vibe pales to inside.
Maybe add some lights? Low volume music? Water station?

Servers / bar tenders are all super nice“

“The Press Club delivered supreme service as always. My star rating was not based on my experience tonight at the R&B and wine event, but my experience in general. Tonight my rating was 3.5 stars in service only because my sister and I got a lemon drop (not a double) and a tonic water and it was $35! The restaurant took it upon themselves to add gratuity automatically. I don't know if this is the rule in general or just the event, but regardless it was very off putting.“

“We’re visiting from out of town, and I came here with a friend who drove in from San Jose to spend the day with. We went on a Saturday for brunch, and we got the breakfast pizza to share with a side of bacon and roasted potatoes. The pizza and bacon were delicious, but the potatoes I would pass. I think they were over cooked and bland.

Also got a cafe au lait, and it was served in bowl! Super cute.“

“Everything we had was excellent. I hate beets but the beet salad was amazing and I would order it myself next time. Amazing restaurant, amazing food and great experience. I'll definitely go back the next time I am in SF. Back to Back is a gem in a city that has much less to offer these days.“

“⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Both food and service was excellent!! Highly recommend going with the tasting menu. Every dish was cooked to perfection! The flavors blend so beautifully. 1601 Bar & Kitchen is my new favorite!“

“Good food, friendly service, and a comfortable space overall. I enjoyed the breakfast sandwich, the cookies, and the hot chai. I'm looking forward to going back again soon. 😊“

“Food is only 4 stars because they don't have a full kitchen, but the bites they serve are perfect. I recommend the prosciutto wrapped dates.

The owners are warm, inviting, and knowledgeable about their inventory. Will visit again for sure.

Thanks Patsy!“

“Perfect neighborhood spot to gather and unwind. Wine selection affordable and awesome and the 'little plates' are wonderful (meatballs FTW).“

“A true gem for wine lovers and social gatherings alike. The atmosphere is always warm and inviting, and the wine selection is nothing short of thoughtfully curated. Whether you're catching up with old friends or making new ones, this is the kind of place that always delivers.“

“I came here after a great dinner at the Thai restaurant within walking distance. The wine and beer selection was right up my alley, I had a wonderful Malbec then followed it up with a local craft beer and left having made new friends with some of the locals and the owner Tony.“

“Bar Part Time is a stylish and effortlessly cool neighborhood spot that brings a fresh energy to the Mission. The space feels modern yet relaxed, with a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in for the night.

The cocktails are creative and thoughtfully balanced, with a clear focus on quality ingredients and presentation without being overly fussy. There’s a nice variety of options, whether you’re in the mood for something classic or a more inventive signature drink.

Service is friendly, attentive, and well-paced, contributing to a smooth and enjoyable experience from start to finish. The crowd is a great mix of locals, giving the place a lively but comfortable social vibe.

Overall, Bar Part Time is a standout addition to the neighborhood—great drinks, great atmosphere, and a place you’ll want to return to regularly.“
