Nectar Wine Lounge

An a-ok wine lounge

by MelSF , Citysearch Contributor at Citysearch

I went here last night for a Korbin Kameron wine tasting. The wine was DELICIOUS! Nectar SF is an ok venue. I actually prefer the look of their Burlingame location. Their truffle popcorn is to die for. I could eat a whole bucket of this stuff. The reason I give them just 3 stars is because the service leaves a lot to be desired. We had ordered a few dishes and none of them required any cooking, yet it took like 20-25mins for anything to be brought out. I am not usually an impatient person and I was busy socializing with friends, but even I noticed how long the service took.

• Pros: Good wine, yummy snacks
• Cons: Bad service

Cozy wine bar

This wine bar has the most amazing menus...you have to check them out! The descriptions are like reading a great fiction novel. The ambiance is fabulous too. It is very sharp, artsy and modern.

Chill atmosphere, tasty eats

by blkestin at Citysearch

We've been to Nectar 3 times now and always enjoy ourselves. We've had the pre-set flights and designed our own - some wines have been big winners, others we could have done without - but that is the beauty of being able to order tastes rather than having to order whole glasses (this is still a new concept for us - recent SF transplants from NYC!). This weekend we had the food at Nectar for the first time - made a 6pm reservation on Sunday (Labor Day weekend), and spent a couple of hours sampling various menu items and wines. It was a blast and we'll definitely do that again. What a great way to pass a Sunday afternoon/evening! By the way, we have never experienced poor service, despite several complaints of that nature by other posters. Maybe we have been lucky or maybe they have fixed those kinks?

• Pros: Great space, value for tastes and food potions, service
• Cons: Doesn't open until 5pm - even on Friday!

Got Wine?

by gggiiiaaa at Citysearch

Impressive wine list, staff highly educated and intrigues guests to try new wine - tailored to your own palate of course. Oh did I say Palate? The food is amazing! the menu changes monthly, if you want a light snack or dinner you will be delighted in your culinary experience. We had the lamb dish and the month prior kobe beef, it was unexpectedly delicious. The staff is gracious and makes you feel at home, the ambiance is warm & inviting. This is not the usual Marina 'Campus' spot, instead the crowd is extermely diverse, whether it be a business or casual meeting, hanging w/ friends and or solo... Nectar is groovy Monday through Sunday!

• Pros: Wine, Ambience, Service, Food

cool wine bar

by jgarch2007 at Citysearch

we stopped in here after dinner next door at Bistro Aix--excellent french comfort food--to have a couple of glasses of wine. Great feel to the space on a chill monday night, just enough people to have a buzz, but relatively quiet and romantic. The food looked great, and smelled fantastic, even though we were too full to order anything, but we'll definitely try one of the pizzetas the next time we're back as a snack. they were really big for small pizzas. We got to talk at length with the bartender/owner of the place, and he seemed to know a lot about wine but also seemed really humble about it and really funny at the same time. He also poured us a taste of Cristal! So never mind we got to drink what p daddy drinks, but it was a really cool time. I'd like to see the scene on the weekend, but liked that one on one time we got on Monday.

• Pros: great wine, cool owners
