In Short
Film producer Gale Anne Hurd's (''Terminator'') elegant eatery focuses on the concept that wine, not food, is the anchor of a meal. Sommelier Scott Teruya's (formerly of Pinot Provence) list carries a selection of 250 wines from around the world; 100 are available by the glass as well as 20 flights. A small plates menu features fig poppers, braised pork ribs and cheese and charcuterie plates. The decor mixes a palette of rich chocolate hues with a striking wine display, which divides the lounge and dining room. Cozy couples nestle up to the fireplace, gossipy groups of girls nosh and sip, and larger groups of older diners linger over still full bottles and dessert.
Hits: Portions are generous for small plates. The restaurant's signature grilled cheese starter is simply amazing, with Pt. Reyes blue cheese oozing between slices of sweet raisin-walnut bread. The wine list is wonderful, and features an assortment of themed flights, small tastes and room for customer notes.
Misses: With such an emphasis on the wine, it's really unfortunate that reds by-the-glass are not served at proper temperature. Also, with all the food sharing going on, it would be nice to see plates replaced more often.
