    As a wine bar Amelie is perfectly serviceable. While the ambiance isn't particularly to my linking, the wine selection is good, and the wine flights are well priced. Unfortunately, I also happened to order the food. The food was all mediocre at best, but mostly bad. Overcooked, oily, and confused is the best way I'd describe the dishes. Confused is also how I'd describe the service. Incredibly slow, and I had to flag down the waiter 4 times before being able to get our check.

    Came here for happy hour with friends and had a great experience! They do an early happy hour on weekends (starting at 2pm), and the happy hour menu prices were great for both food and wine flights. And every dish we ordered was delicious! Off of the happy hour menu, we got the crispy artichokes, goat cheese, flatbread of the day (butternut squash), and 2 orders of croquetas. We also ordered brussel sprouts and escargot. Everything was a hit! Service was wonderful as well. The people we interacted with were French (so it seems like a great place to practice speaking French if you're so inclined). We sat outside along the street, so even that was reminiscent of a French cafe. Lovely experience all around and I wouldn't hesitate to come back!

    We came here for happy hour on a Monday evening and we were one of the only customers in a nearly empty restaurant, so service was pretty efficient. We almost had the entire staff catering exclusively to us. I'd say the restaurant kind of feels like a cross between a bistro bar and a 50s restaurant with dim lighting. Once we took a look at the menu, of course we had to get a wine flight. Between 2 of the $13 wine flights, we ordered a Melon de Bourgogne, Merlot, Gamay, and then we were recommended a Rose Grenache, and an an orange wine, which was interesting. $ 7 Chicken Liver Mousse: okay! It was topped with chives, served with cornichons. $10 Jamon Serrano Croquetas: good! definitely fresh, because it came piping hot. I had to cut it in half and let it steam for a few minutes. $19 Octopus Carpaccio - pickled capers and pickled peppers, pomegranate: great! very tangy taste, get it if you like sour flavors $29 Duck Leg Confit - Grimaud farm duck leg with gratin dauphinois, salad, duck jus: excellent! crispy skin on duck leg with green salad and radishes helped lighten it up. When we got our bill, it came tucked inside of a French paperback, which I thought was a cute touch. We got full from happy hour, though two items were not from the happy hour menu. I give Amelie a 9.2/10

    Happy hour flatbread
    Janice O.

    First time, but not the last. Nice place where you can bring friends, talk with the staff, and have a nice time. I came with friends for happy hour. Just the right amount of drinks and food. We got the fried artichoke bites (yummy), happy hour flatbread (which I assume changes depending on day/week/whatever the chef feels like making) and coquettes (not my favorite). I missed ordering the wine flight and the charcuterie board, which looked yummy. As other reviews mentioned, the lighting is a bit dark. If you sit at the bar or closer to the door, the lights aren't as dim as the back. Otherwise everyone is friendly and it felt like this was the neighborhood wine bar. Looking forward to going back again.

    extremely cute happy hour can't wait to come again. vibes inside are so chill and artsy. loved the booths in the back. we sat up in the front on the movie theater seats. We did the wine flight and it was so fun to choose our own wines. I didn't know what was best so asked our servers recommendations. It was a beautiful day for happy hour with a friend and as the sun went down they had live musicians. it was so vibey.

    One of my favorite wine bar spots! Their food was good and they also have wine flights on the menu with different variations if you're not sure what to get. It does get super loud so it's more of a bar vibe than a casual spot. It also gets bus so if you're in a big group, I would recommend giving a call. The staff were friendly with the wine recommendations!

    Kathleen S.

    Oh so lovely wine bar. It has a dim romantic feel with outdoor seating too. I came for a girls night with good white wine and delicious appetizers. I recommend the beef carpaccio. It was the star of the night.

    Amelie is the perfect place to catch up with your girlfriends or enjoy date night with your partner. They had an excellent selection of wines and several flight options. Also the shareable dishes were delicious! We loved the orange wine flight, beef carpaccio, bone marrow, burrata, ravioli, and mushroom flatbread!

    Champignon Flatbread
    Pam M.

    I visited recently as I had a $15 in-Kind (reservation app) discount & every time that I've passed this place, it looked like a fun Euro-party was going on. I made reservations for a Friday at 5:30PM to catch the tail end of Happy Hour & to hear the DJ that starts at 7PM. It was VERY loud inside so we opted to sit outside. Several of the happy hour menu items were not available so we had the artichoke (the only HH item we had) which was (3.5/5), Amelie salad (4/5), pan con tomate (2.5/5) but I didn't really care for it, beef carpaccio (4/5), champignon flats (4/5) & truffle potatoes (3/5) as I couldn't detect any truffle. I really wanted beef tartare but it's not on the menu anymore. We opted for cocktails instead of wine & I had the Saint German 75 & my friend had the white Negroni. Drinks were pretty good. The loud music made the restaurants fun but good luck trying to have a conversation. It's more of a fun party place & lounge. Overall 3.5.

    Croquetas
    Kalpita P.

    Cute French wine bar with an amazing happy hour deal! Loved the daily flatbread which had a good portion size and the croquetas. Also really enjoyed the happy hour wine flight. You can choose 3 wines from a couple preset categories for a solid price. I would encourage making a reservation since happy hour does got a bit busy. Overall a good spot for post work drinks, date night, or hanging with friends!

    Great service and ambiance. Good for after-work drinks, girls' night, or a date. It's lush, cozy, and there's cool seating inside and out. The $12.50 wine flight at happy hour is a steal!

    William S.

    My friends and I call this place Famélie since all the staff are so sweet. While it gets a little packed during weekends, It's a great place to have a quick and large glass of wine after a busy work day. They make cocktails too, but their wine and service are what make it shine. Their cheese plate is also bomb.

    Such a cute place! Love their happy hour menu and ambiance! Got the wine flights and we tried 6 different wines for ~$30! Also huge selection of wines and they also have indoor and outdoor seating! The bartender was helpful and sweet

Arrived at 5:30 and was surprised when I saw a small but decent amount of folks here. When I approached the bar and got my first drink, I understood why folks were there so early....the drinks were a buck! Such a steal and great way to get folks in. The concept of battle of the decades is great too! Each hour is a different decade of music,starting with the 60's. I spent a few hours dancing from 60's-80's music until about 8pm (perfect for an old millennial like me) until the place filled up. Totally great night at Monroe. Cheap drink specials, great music, and I was able to get in bed by 8:30pm. I'll definitely be back again.

Located on Broadway in North Beach, it's always high energy and popping, but I've never had any issues getting in. Also love that there's no cover charge for women, so I can just enjoy the night with my friends here without having to pay the equivalent price of a drink before I've even stepped inside. Even with the club frequently packed, especially the later in the night you go, I find the facilities pretty clean compared to many other similar lounges. It's also conveniently located near late night pizza and crêpe eateries that are still open after Monroe closes for the win, which makes it an all-around no brainer to choose going here versus other venues.

The sandwich comes with a small dressed salad and three tomato halves. It was nice. The potatoes served with the sandwich were roasted but served cold and dry.

Definitely skip this $7 item that you could get at a circle k for $1.50 and it would taste fresher. You order when you walk in and someone delivers your order and then you're left to fend for yourself. We were able to locate some ketchup for the potatoes on our own. Nobody ever checked on us. This is the second place on this visit that's charging an extra 5% fee so that their employees can have a living wage and health insurance, which absolutely, every employee should have. With the prices they charge, they should already be able to do that, though. I read an article about this fee with many different names and I would rather pay a bit higher of a price and know the employees were taken care of than be surprised by this fee later. Two sandwich breakfasts, a mocha and a danish on top of tax and their healthy sf fee was $63. Steep for the quality we got. Won't be back.

When I first walked to the bar, one of the bartenders came over and asked what I wanted to order. I politely asked if they had the ingredients to make an Aperol Spritz since I noticed several spritz options on the menu. Instead of simply saying no, she rolled her eyes, grabbed a menu, handed it to me roughly, and said, "Order something that's actually on our menu." She then immediately walked away to help other customers and never returned to acknowledge me again. I was genuinely confused by the interaction because I didn't feel my question was unreasonable, especially at a cocktail bar with multiple spritzes listed on the menu. I've never had a bartender respond that way to a simple drink inquiry.... Thankfully, another bartender (she was the Asian one) later noticed I hadn't been helped. She was very friendly, attentive, and made my drink without any issues. Had it not been for her, I likely would have left immediately. Unfortunately, the first bartender's behavior made the atmosphere feel awkward and unwelcoming. I finished my one drink and left shortly afterward because I no longer felt comfortable staying. I understand bars get busy, but basic courtesy goes a long way. The contrast between the two bartenders' service was striking. I hope management takes customer service seriously because no guest should feel dismissed or mocked for asking a simple question about a drink.
