Went here for the first time and the place was amazing. Nice atmosphere with outdoor dining and a bar area. Jazz music playing in the background while I enjoyed my meal. I will be returning at night.

Cozy place, not busy and full of people. Knowledgeable & friendly senior waiters. Perfect atmosphere for dates.

For a glass of wine and a light meal. Mostly serves panini, bruschetta and salad.
NOV 24 update; The place seems to have lost a lot of it's vibe. The food is average (even years ago it wasn't anything to rave about) and service decent. The price and cleanliness good. It was slow when we visited on a weekday, but the downtown was busy and popping. The appeal and type of food, plus being a wine bar, doesn't seem to draw in the weekday crowd here, which tends to be young & Asian. Probably draws more on weekends when downtown is more diverse. If you're looking for a quiet weekday glass of wine and bite to eat, it's OK but nothing stands out saying go. For those that have been here some time ago, it is no longer owned by the two brothers who started it.

Five of us came to this to this delightful restaurant yesterday. The service and food were outstanding. We have always loved this restaurant. I hadn’t been there in a couple of months, and I think Oh great that the menu has really expanded. They have bowls, appetizers and lots of salads and desserts. Of course they have their wonderful signature bruschetta and, and more delicious Paninis. Something for everybody. The coffee was delicious. It is a great place to go before or after the show or any other time.

Great experience and service. We used the patio area for a closed B day party event(this is our 2nd time booking with B street and Vine) the food was tasty and fresh, generous portions, creative and flavorous, service was great. Very pleasant open air atmosphere, I loved the idea of brining our own party decor. Many of our guests commented on how nice and specious the place was. We reserved for a Sunday early afternoon, which worked very well as there was no rash to leave even for those who came late. Alam was very accommodating to our needs and was patient and communicated well via email and phone. Over all I would highly recommend.
Dietary restrictions: vegan options also available and were very well delivered (bruschetha and salads)

I went for happy hour. The drinks were fine— I really enjoyed the espresso martini, but not so much the margarita. In addition, the portions of the mini-sandwiches were very small. The value for money was not very good. The live music though was spectacular!
Came here for a work function. We made our orders a few days ahead of time. It still took a relatively long time to get our food, people were hungry and stealing food from their friends plates ?.
The creme brûlée was pretty standard. I remember having a meat dish here that was really heavy.
Still had a fun time and made memories with coworkers. Our group might have been too big.

Bruschetta is the most inventive and amazing food I’ve had in San Mateo. This has been my go-to date spot since I was in high school and my wife and I always come back.

Love love love this place. The food is always good and so is the service. I had some friends visiting from out of town so I made reservations for dinner. It was really easy and we were seated right away. Everyone loved the bruschetta.
