Wife & The Somm

Tucked away in the Glassell Park neighborhood, Wife & The Somm is that rare find—a genuinely welcoming spot where you can drop in for a quick glass of wine and somehow find yourself still there two hours later. The space is surprisingly generous, featuring a main dining room, a charming front courtyard, and a lush back patio that’s ideal for gathering with friends.

The menu leans into shareable small plates that pair beautifully with their thoughtfully curated wine selection. The spicy tuna tartare delivers a satisfying punch, while the crispy brussels sprouts have earned a devoted following. These are the kinds of dishes designed for lingering—order a few, pass them around, and let the conversation flow.

What sets this place apart is the atmosphere. There’s a warmth here that goes beyond the décor. The owners are often around, chatting with regulars and newcomers alike, creating the kind of neighborhood vibe that feels increasingly hard to find. Whether you’re catching up with friends on a Friday evening or looking for a relaxed date spot, the laid-back energy here delivers.

If you’re in the mood for chilled reds, great conversation, and food that exceeds expectations without trying too hard, Wife & The Somm should be on your radar. It’s the kind of place that turns first-time visitors into regulars.
