Sonoma Upper Kirby, is our favorite place to enjoy some excellent wines and excellent service. Taylor is our favorite sommelier! His knowledge and attention to detail is unmatched! The food is also delicious and the atmosphere is very inviting and relaxing. I would highly recommend stopping by for an elevated experience in the wine and food world! Make sure to ask for Taylor!

We have been going to Sonoma at Upper Kirby for many years, and we always have a fun and fabulous time!! The Sommelier, Taylor, is extremely knowledgeable about all wines, and we're always delighted when he recommends something new!! Edgar is also very knowledgeable about the wines, and their resident chef is awesome!! When guests enter Sonoma on Upper Kirby, they are greeted by either Taylor or Edgar, who welcome them into a beautiful and cozy setting, that includes rich wooden furniture, a pass thru fireplace, and a bar. You are immediately transformed into a California or Italian tasting room or wine cellar!! Holidays are especially nice, because you can reserve your favorite spot for you and your special someone, as was the case on Valentine's Day when they had live music!! We did not have a reservation, but found a lovely table outside, with a heater and located where we could hear the live music!! I highly recommend Sonoma on Upper Kirby for a delightful evening out!!

We walked in anticipating an after dinner glass of wine. The place was empty at 6:30. We were asked if we had a reservation and we said we didn't, but were only planning to have a glass of wine. We were told we could sit, but we would be asked to "skootch " when other people arrived. Needless to say we skootched right on out of there. The welcome was completely underwhelming.

Great location and the food is so delicious! . Only downside to this location is parking but aside from that it is worth it.

One of the coolest wine bars in Houston, Texas with an excellent selection of wines and delicious Bordeau pizza. Our go-to wine bar for our monthly skipper's meeting. Great food, good vibes and service.
The ambience here is great! Great selection of wine and employees are very knowledgeable! Thank you Albert for the great selections and service. 10/10

Came in to get a wine flight after a stressful day of work. Got the We'll Traveled wine flight. The Rosso was really good. The itialian middle was okay but interesting. The cab malbec blend was just ok and not as good as most malbecs. I was hungry so I got the funghi pasta without chicken. It was good but not filling enough. I wish I had gotten the chicken with it. I then ordered the brie and prosciutto ham. Again not filled up enough. Left hungry. My suggestion to establishment, offer bread, butter and olives as free appetizer. Offer ceasar salad free with food orders. At these prices customer should not leave hungry.

Rented out the ENTIRE PLACE for corporate event. Called Farrah Cauley a couple of days ahead to confirm details and she assured me that we were squared away. Of course the day of the event we arrive 90 minutes before hand and the staff has no record of our reservation and was not prepared. Called Farrah who was not on site, received excuses such as we arrived too early and lies such as they had us down but the local staff showed us their calendar which did not show my reserved event. Also got yelled at as if it was my fault she dropped the ball. They had to rush another manager from another location to clean up her mess and the food that we ordered was not prepared so my clients just ate what they had. I do not recommend them for events as it was a disaster!

Sonoma is probably my favorite bar in the entire city. It’s cozy and friendly and has become my safe place to enjoy a glass of wine by myself, which was a big plus for me. Taylor is so good about remembering what I did and didn’t like about something I tried that. whenever Taylor or Edgar do have a free second which can be rare they entertain some really great conversation and the banter between them is hilarious. 10/10 stay and chat with them it makes the wine time even better IMO!
It’s a great place to taste a wide range of wine and the food is delicious. The staff is knowledgeable about the origin story of each bottle and provides a good sense of what each person might like.I’ve hosted my birthday party and several small gatherings here, and each time has been a hit.
What a fantastic wine bar this place is!! Great ambience, wine selection, food and also a see-thru fireplace! What more can you ask for!?
