A personal blog detailing dining and eating experiences
This was a hidden bar under the Aviary. We went on the waitlist while we were eating at the Aviary. But then one of our waiters from the Aviary hooked us up and we got bumped to the front.
The bar tender actually is the head bar tender for the Aviary. I got their version of the Manhattan, which had a chocolate and banana twist. Really great.
The exclusivity was also shown when you had to use a key to get back inside if you wanted to use the restroom.
Grabbed a quick desert pastry at this place.
Basically got a baklava type thing that was chocolate filled, plus a latte. Was pretty good.
I’ve been to the winary several times, and it’s a great place to bring people who are visiting San Francisco.
This time around I did not do the tour, but the tour is pretty interesting if you have not done it before.
For the wines, everything listed below is what I drank, except for the moscato. Instead, it was recommended that I try the La Fantasia. And I will admit, it was a good choice (and I actually grabbed a bottle. Also, the last chocolate (the red heart shaped one) goes really well with it since it is the sweetest chocolate. (As an aside, the free chocolates on the top left of the picture tasted really bad compared to the paid ones).
Also, an interesting piece of info is that if you don’t want to do the tasting, but you want to enter, you can pay $20 (instead of $30) if you “forget” your ID.
