Cafe Triste was a great late night stop on a Saturday. The vibe was relaxed and easy, exactly what…read moreI was looking for. I ordered a French ale and it was excellent, very artisanal and well made. The orange wine was also really good and fit the mood of the place perfectly. Service was cool and laid back, and the outdoor seating made it even better. It is the kind of spot where you can grab a slice next door, sit down with a drink, and just chill without any pressure. Great vibes all around and an easy place to enjoy your night.

2 stars because I wanted to like this place, but it just wasn't it…read more First off, if you're not into natural wine, this is probably not your spot. The selection is very niche and pretty limited, so keep that in mind going in. The bigger issue was the overall experience. It was packed, like uncomfortably crowded outside, and was so hot inside that it made it hard to enjoy anything. Service didn't help either. We waited patiently because it was busy, but when we finally asked if we could order, the waiter told us it would probably be faster to go to the bar, lol, which came off dismissive. Between the crowds, the heat, the limited menu, and the unfriendly service, it just didn't feel worth it. Maybe if you're really into natural wine and don't mind a chaotic, packed scene you'll enjoy it, but I wouldn't come back.

The staff (Marie & Ahyoka) were awesome and personable in helping us choose our drinks along with being very helpful in their recommendations for the Loreto restaurant we had reservations for dinner for after. The vibe is pretty cool and it has a bit of a speakeasy type look along with some dark settings that could also fit as a romantic setting.

Outdoor seating is available in the front and back patio and indoor seating is at the bar or dining room. We liked feel of the back patio but it seemed to be a designated smoking area so we chose the dining room instead. The atmosphere was warm and felt like being in a living room. We started with cocktails - a Mezcal Provencale, Hibiscus Margarita and a Toasted Coconut Daiquiri. They were well prepared and solid. I enjoyed the daiquiri. It was refreshing and not overly sweet and had a slight foam on top. Foodwise we had fish and chips, the house salad, chicken buns and the grilled cheese and tomato soup. Birthday boy enjoyed his salad and fish and chips. I tried his salad and enjoyed the little gem lettuce dressed with green goddess. The chicken buns had the right ratio of chicken, toppings and bread and though an appetizer, was enough for a meal. The grilled cheese and tomato soup combo was the classic pairing. The grilled cheese with the blend of cheeses, crispy Parmesan crust and added bacon was delicious. I savored it with a knife and fork. The tomato soup was also good. The pacing of drink and food orders was good. This was my first visit and a great one overall. I will keep it in mind when looking to dine in the area again.

My dear friend & I came here to unwind on a Tuesday evening. Before we finished our first drink the place was packed with happy regulars, which made it lively & fun. Kayla (Beverage Director/Mixologist) was fantastic and had a darling personality. My friend & I started with Palomas - comprised of Tromba Tequila, Mezcal, grapefruit, & Yuzu, it was a tasty twist on the classic. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try their famous Nuclear Daiquiri (another riff on a classic), which features Rum, lime, Green Chartreuse, & house-made coconut syrup. It was delicious!

The food was outstanding: seasonal Southern California cooking with a focus on regenerative agriculture, sustainable seafood, and natural wine. Our server, Gaylen ( I think that was his name!) did not miss every recommendation was spot on. Highlights: oeuf aioli, tomato tonnato panzanella, confit chicken legs, and the marinated beets with beet tahini and pistachios. To drink, the Celery (Yola mezcal, lemon, ginger) and Beet (beet juice, cilantro, lime, tequila or mezcal) cocktails were both excellent.

I've come here all year round. I come to just chill, for special events, to do homework, I've watched so many different live, big sports moments here and have ALWAYS been treated with thoughtfulness and kindness. Does it get busy sometimes and service may take longer than it would for a place that is not popping in your neighborhood? Yeah, and that's understandable but I've never felt like I've been ignored, overlooked, or disregarded and I wanted to make sure to share that for others to understand the totality of who the people running the establishment are. Often times Stephanie is who I interact with when I go in there and she's been nothing but cool, attentive and accommodating. Always full of genuine gratitude for everyone that walks through the door. That has been my experience. I've made a lot of great memories at Untamed and with the people there. The food is good. The vibes are good. The love for the community is real. And I'm happy that they are in the neighborhood. Photo tax of a couple Untamed visits.

There were less than 10 patrons when I arrived. You order via QR code here. I ordered a Guinness and nachos. I received the nachos, but still hadn't received the beer after 45 minutes. At that point, I noticed a White patron that came in after me received a Guinness. My Black friend went and asked the server (who was a White woman) if she forgot mine. 10 minutes later, the server set down a beer that was 70% foam without a look or a word. Meanwhile, I watched this server seemingly ignore Black patrons while approaching other patrons and asking if they needed anything, including my Cuban friend. My Cuban friend got so irritated, she went and told the woman that it seemed like people of a certain skin complexion were getting better service. The server denied it. The server still did not care. She then took 10 minutes to bring my Black friend water and never made eye contact nor spoke to my Black friend or me. Later, another patron approached me to comment on my funny shirt. I asked her how her experience with the customer service was, and she said the waitress acted strangely towards her (Black) friend until she said something to her about it. As a queer woman, I would love to support a queer-woman-owned sports bar, but apparently I'm not too welcome there. Nachos were good. The main TV setup is four separated screens, so the middle of the game is kind of invisible.
