Every time I go to an Oberon Group establishment, I feel like I'm being punked. It's like they purposefully hire people who hate customer service and then charge you $$$ for the privilege of being ignored.
The pros: the vibe (as with all Oberon Group places) is great, and the meats and cheeses were undeniably delicious
The cons: - The service is not great - like everyone that works there seems to think that they're too cool to be waiting tables. - For $20+ for a plate of cheese and $20+ for a plate of meat, you'd think you'd get some bread. Nope. We had to order the $8 sourdough that came with one slice of bread per person (4). - The server didn't bring any small plates and never came back to check on us so we ended up eating our $50 meat and cheese on our napkins!
Finally, we took like less than 30 seconds to find our wallet and by the server's attitude you'd think that we took an hour.
Honestly, the whole thing just feels like arrogance on the part of the Oberon Group, like they think we're all idiots who will pay $18 for a glass of wine, eat $20 breadless cheese off a napkin and still tip 20%. But I won't be back to Anais or any other Oberon Group establishment any time soon.

Love this place. It’s on one of the best corners to sit and do nothing.
Excellent place to sip coffee in the morning. And meet with friends over wine at dusk.
Good selection of wines. Good prices. I like that they have tinned fish. And the staff have always been nice.

Really cute wine bar. Great selection, excellent service, nice romantic atmosphere. Perfect place for a first date or a tenth date. Will be back!

Atmosphere is great - but the combination of prices, think $16 for a VERY small glass of wine on a bottle that retails at $33 is a bit excessive. On top of that, the servers act like they are better than you… the only thing worth it for me was the street ambiance on one of the first cool evenings of the end of summer. We spent over $70 each without eating anything more than the bread along with 3 glasses of wine each.

They have a decent wine selection, but Anaïs is another flawed Oberon Group establishment that fails to deliver on service. A stranger and I were both standing at the bar, feeling like we were being punk'd and completely ignored. This isn’t my first time at this spot, but I'll have to think twice before deciding to come back.

Lovely place to sit outside on a nice day but wow was the staff ever rude.
The cocktails I had were very lemon forward and served in especially small glasses. Think tablespoon of lemon juice. You go here for the scene not the amazing drinks. The demeanor of the staff reminds me of someone forced to do community service cleaning a park on their birthday while their friends at a picnic in the park.

Very nice little wine bar with good snacks. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. The wine selection is pretty good.
Kid-friendliness: My 8 month old daughter broke a glass by accident and the staff was super friendly and understanding.

Lo and behold, the attached image of the $20 dollar cheeseboard. Chunks and boulders of simple cheeses. To eat those pieces without a single piece of bread would be debilitating for the senses. For $20, the plate of simple Costco cheeses couldn’t even come with any bread… if you’re going to serve cheese without any sort of bread base to dilute the taste and texture, at least slice it thinner so that it’s more palatable. If I wanted to eat cheddar like that, I might as well buy Cheez-Its. The only good part was the honey with honeycomb. But even then they were skimpier about it than Victoria’s Secret underwear.
Atmosphere is loud if that’s what you like. Service was ok. Didn’t feel much care in the communication. Wine serving was poured straight up without allowing a taste test. Not that I know a thing about wine, but I would know if I liked something enough to warrant consuming a larger volume of it.
Anyways, I do not digress. 3 stars only. I would go lower had the waitress not realized the folly of the cheeseboard and gave 3 slices of bread they were guarding with their lives. Plot twist, bread wasn’t even that great…

Exactly the cozy French wine bar vibe I was hoping for. Cozy, moody, solid wines by the glass, and accommodating staff. Into it.
