      We enjoyed live jazz (Marlina Teich) here on a Sunday afternoon, while trying the red wine flight (Valravn Pinot Noir, Domaine Moulin Nouvel, Iconic Zinfandel 'Old Gods'), and sharing some small bites, the Moro Melts with roasted tomato. These were way better than I expected, buttery and crisp, a nice crunch with the melted cheese and roasted tomato flavor blended in nicely, kinda like sundried tomatoes which I love, omg I would definitely return just for this.

      But the wines were decent too, our faves the Valravn Pinot Noir and Domaine Moulin Nouvel (not so much the Zinfandel, which was more subtle). The music was relaxing and added a nice touch to our experience. The employees were friendly and helpful, and provided sufficient service. And the setting was clean, casual and cozy, a welcoming atmosphere with your choice of seating. There's also a couple free parking lots nearby, in the Rockaway Beach Plaza for convenience.

      Came here because the menu seemed so cute and classy.

      Based on old Yelp pictures, the prices went up these past few months, which is understandable. However, I feel like the price just wasn't justified for what I was getting.

      Dessert wine (white port) $12: this was like rubbing alcohol. It had the aftertaste of a shot of vodka and the flavor of the actual grape was not there. I've had better dessert wine in a $10 bottle from BevMo, so this was quite the disappointment.
      I tried to finish it, but couldn't get myself to drink more than 3 sips. Left the rest.
      You'll have a much better chance of being satisfied drinking the Sauternes at Calave in Palo Alto.

      Mixed board $32 charcuterie meats + variety of cheeses: the ONE thing I can appreciate from this board was the local rosemary + orange jam. It was so unique and brought a really great, clean, juicy flavor to the board.
      The meats were prosciutto and a local salami. Both tasted as expected.
      The three cheeses included a triple cream Brie, goat cheese, and an imported Spanish cheese. I'm 99% sure this Spanish cheese came straight from the big Costco pack because I get that cheese so often. The flavor, texture, smell, and aesthetic were all that of the cheese pack from Costco. What..?

      Classic Baked Brie $22: said it was garnished with rosemary, but it wasn't.
      The honey wasn't drizzled--it was mixed in with the soupy balsamic.
      The bread was good, like a French baguette they threw in the air fryer. Crispy outer, soft and fluffy inner.

      Overall, I can't tell if I just chose the wrong wine to try, but it was an OK experience.

      Attire isn't quite "classy" as expected. The inside looks more like a cozy book + wine club than a fancy dining place.

      I would come back here on a day with live music or order different wine.

      We ordered two of the 'what the staff are drinking' mixed flights, and were very happy we did! We both got a different flight, and enjoyed each selection. I now have a new favorite Pinot Noir!
      The Charcuterie and Mediterranean Nibble were perfect for the two of us. We just wanted some good wine and a light dinner, in a relaxed but nice atmosphere. Home run!

      What a joy it was to come here and experience A Grape in the Fog in all its glory! My boyfriend and I were itching to have a wine happy hour mid-week, and we found this spot on yelp just minutes before we headed out. Our server Christine was welcoming and attentive, and she made our first time here great. We arrived during happy hour so we opted for the House Wine (a Tempranillo), and loved it so much that we each got a 2nd glass. We paired the wine with a delicious artisanal cheese board. Our favorites were the spreadable Brie and the orange jam. The bread was also to-die-for. They have patio seating and ample indoor seating, both with great ambience. We can't wait to come back for another mid-week pick-me-up!

      What a little gem this place is. Christine I think her name is, was our server. She was great, very attentive, really nice. The little jazz band was really cool. The wine was delicious, food was delicious. All in all a great vibe here. Will definitely return.

      That's a great place for wine, and small plates , they were playing live jazz music when I was there. But the disappointment is short of staff to paying attention to the customers. I believed they are always busy in the weekends so be aware if they couldn't pay attention on you guys..

      This place is the best to wine down. On Sundays they have a live band. Can get a bit loud but you can move to the back if you want to have a conversation. Service is great. They're sooo nice & friendly & informed us on some hiking spots. The place has Mediterranean vibe. It's very nice.

      Every time I go here, I have such a relaxed fun time! Christine is especially wonderful, recommending good wines and chatting us up! I'm a big red wine fan and always find great options. The appys are delicious, everything from the baked Brie, to hummus plate to meatballs to that gorgeous fresh watermelon salad. If you're looking for a great wine bar with lovely wines to try, great food, an no attitude, GITF is the spot. Such a gem!

      A real gem in Pacifica located steps away from the shoes of Rockaway Beach. Nice expansive menu for a boutique wine bar with lots of yummy snacks! it's a great place to come for a treat after a nearby hike. Nearby parking is easy to find. Live music on the weekends. Come on Wednesdays where the Coastal Farmers Market happens right next door! :)
