Vertical Wine Bistro Review


Tucked in a less-traveled yet highly praised street corner of Raymond and Union. Many of my favored restaurants are also on the same street. Café Bizou, Chado, Yujean Kang's, etc. Also there are couple other wine tasting bars just couple blocks away.

Not easy to notice. Makes me wonder... maybe the owner doesn't want people to find him easily. ye know like hard to get game stuff. - - ;;; Anyway, climbing its narrow stairs makes you think ahead. "Maybe I shouldn't drink and walk", haha;;;! Well, don't ya worry. they DO have an elevator for those who'd indulged themselves with good wines and food at the Bistro.

What I liked about this place is that the paper menu with leather binding string is provided for customers to take home or keep it there for next visit. You can make a note on your personalized ratings of their wines. The wine list? Well, it's definitely NOT a premium quality but decent for its price range. Ideal for semi-formal outings with your close friends and significant others.

The ambiance and service? Not bad at all. Its modern, chic interior with dim-lit lightings create classy and romantic ambiance. Perhaps a great choice with co-workers or business partners as well as couples and friends. I believe most wine bars in America are age-specified as 21 and over.
