Stopped in before a ferry ride. Service was prompt and friendly. We enjoyed the sparkling flight and would only return for that. The white wine flight was TERRIBLE. All tasted like sunscreen mixed with cucumber. Soapy glass? Don't know. Was not good. read more

Cute wine bar right on the water in Jack London Square. Very accommodating and friendly staff. Outdoor and indoor seating is available. We came on July Fourth weekend without a reservation. The staff were very accommodating in finding us a table quickly. They offered a table outside that was open for about an hour but we were re seated quickly inside to a table that came available for about 2 hours. I ordered the bubbly wine flight ($20) for 4 pours, which is slightly cheaper than my go to wine bar in the South Bay. I mostly ordered the bubbly flight to try the pretty blue sparkling wine, which tasted better than expected and such a pretty color. They do have some small bites, which looked pretty good glancing at the other tables around us. I look forward to coming back and trying some of their food options to enjoy with my wine next time I'm in the area. Try out Rosenblum Cellars for some tasty wines, snacks and a view of the marina at Jack London Square. read more

My husband and I came here one day on a whim. We were walking around jack London and we have seen this place before when catching the ferry to SF but never popped in. So we decided to come and check it out because it's always crowded! We came in and were greeted right away by the hostess. We were seated although not having a reservation which next time I will be sure to make one. Very quickly we were greeted by our server Sharon! She was so sweet and she knew the menu like the back of her hand! She helped us out and even have us a few suggestions based on what we told her we liked. She even helped me build my charcuterie board when I didn't know exactly which cheeses I wanted. Also pro tip if you do get a charcuterie board add the bread ! It's amazing and comes out nice and hot! Hopefully when you pop by Sharon is working because she really made the experience great just by her warm and pleasant personality! My husband and I will definitely be back. 5 stars all around! read more

My team had our holiday work party here and I have to say this is one of the most beautiful places to enjoy wine while having great customer service. Literally wanted to become a member after our celebration. Great wines, great ambiance, great food, and great service. Can you ask for anything better? This is definitely a great goto wine spot, that is dog friendly, family friendly, and is a must when visiting the beautiful city of Oakland. read more

Rockstar Flight consists of 4 red wines: Pinot Noir, Zin, Petite Syrah, and a cab. All lovely. The hot food is a second thought-- something to keep the wine from overwhelming you. Eat the cheese. They have a beautiful triple cream Brie and the baguette is always warm from the oven. The view is the star. read more

While Visiting my bestie in the Bay Area for the weekend, came across this place during my research. Years ago I worked in a wine bar that featured this wine, and always really like it. So I was super excited when I discovered it was so close to where we were staying in Oakland. It's a Great location close to the ferry in Jack London Square, and I Would suggest making reservations. The day we visited it was beautiful 73 outside and sunny. Outside was pretty full and we preferred inside due to the overly sunny patio. We were seated promptly and stared perusing the menu. We both ordered flights him the white and me the sparkling. We also ordered a charcuterie plate. Be prepared this is a la carte and priced pretty great. We discovered a love for animal crackers and triple cream Brie. He ended up joining the wine club with the perks being pretty great. Overall would recommend. read more

I usually love to come here. I was a member for a year almost two now, until last weekend I canceled my membership. Misconduct took place due to me wanting to ask a simple question after driving over an hour away. I saw the floor sign stating the venue was closed as I stated prior I am a member and the communication is non existent. I didn't know the venue was closed until arrival, you cannot get anyone on the phone and no email was sent to communicate the closure nor can I update contact information from a far. I was rudely pushed out the venue by a staff member stating I shouldn't even be in here when I was already proceeding to leave. This experience was very disappointing. I am still awaiting to see what higher management has to say because I've just gotten its pending investigation if they see fit ramifications will take place. read more

Love this place!!! I've been a member since maybe August 2017. I often tell people that joining the wine club was "the best decision of 2017" and I stand behind this statement!!! During non-Pandemic times, this place is poppin'!!! Actually even now, it's still popping during the pandemic. You must make a reservation at least a few days in advance for seating outside. They have a great outdoor setup where they added seating for the pandemic. When it's not a pandemic and we can sit inside, you don't need a reservation and can just walk-in. Rosenblum is right off the ferry so there is a beautiful view of the water and I've seen many sunsets from this place. It would be super convenient because my partner and I would take the ferry from downtown SF after work!!! Highly recommend!! Especially during weekdays BECAUSE... When I say POPPIN, I mean it!!! During normal times, they have so many events during weekdays: trivia on Tuesdays, sips and SAMPLES (this was my FAVE! Miss it.) featuring food samples from local chefs on Wednesdays, and karaoke on Fridays. I've noticed you can also book this place partially or completely for events! Staff is usually pretty nice. I'm recognized by a couple of them because we come here fairly often! The staff has changed a lot during the pandemic but overall everyone is friendly and helpful. Sometimes they're busy so it may take a while to get your bill. Sharon is the homegirl lol she is so fun and friendly, I appreciate her! I love this place and being a member. Being a member means I get a free glass or FLIGHT (the best deal) with every visit for me AND UP TO THREE GUESTS. No limits except I guess one visit per day? Haha we usually end up coming every week or every other and it's so worth it! The membership pays for itself very quickly. We ALWAYS leave a tip since the glass/flight is comped as a member. Sadly no flights right now but hopefully they come back soon! I love this place, especially being a member, and if you live in Oakland or closeby you should definitely consider joining. read more

I came back for a longer period of time to do a wine tasting. Didn't have an appointment so had to sit inside. I did the bubbly tasting and husband did one of the red tasting. I only really liked the Prosecco of the 4 bubbly's. The other 3 were super sweet. Not really a fan when additives like coloring and more sweetness are added to wines. I never really turn down wines especially bubbly, but couldn't do these ones. Husband's 4 reds tasted good- zinfandels, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. I believe it was called the Rockstar flight. The wine tasting sizes are nice heavy pours too. We had crackers and cheese which were large portions--a chunk of cheese and a bowl full of rosemary crackers. Nice place to enjoy the water view and weather. I'd like to come back when they have music playing. And probably try other wines. read more

First off, this place is delicious particularly the cheese selection and smoked salmon. The only reason so gave this place four stars instead of five is because they make you pay for the crostinis separately when you order cheese. I've never seen that, other than that I highly recommend. read more

Loved everything about the experience here. They have a great ambiance on the inside, but the view from the patio is where it's at. On colder days they have some heaters and blankets for those willing to brave it. I did their red wine flight and loved all of them, and felt it was a reasonable price for the amount and quality of wine. My friends all loved their selections as well, and the employees were amazing with recommendations and checking on us over the couple hours we were there. They even brought out a water bowl for my friend's dog without us having to ask. Would love to spend more afternoons on the patio when the weather is right. read more

My friends and I stopped here on the way to the Oakland airport. Apparently we had not had our fill of wine yet. Driving through the area, I was very concerned that our driver was lost but this wine bar is right on the waterfront in a very modern looking shopping mall. It seemed a bit sterile looking inside but the service was decent and the wine was not bad. I noticed a lot of people were ordering a sparkling wine that was the color of neon blue. We didn't try it but I can only assume it has some sort of food coloring or liquor added. read more

My friend wanted wine and views on a Sunday which brought us here. We didn't have reservations but arrived at 6pm and they were able to seat us outside. (Also let me preface by saying closing hours is 8pm and Warriors were playing.) 1st irk: The male server didn't have a friendly presence and delivered our dishes with what felt like annoyance. Ok, maybe it was busy, I'll let it go. We ordered two flights: Blanca and Bubbly. These two options were perfect for the nice weather. I really enjoyed the Bubbly especially since one was poured in blue-- I call it the adult koolaid. We also ordered the gouda and prosciutto. The presentation was lacking--the prosciutto was stacked with a clear film in between in slice. The gouda was a heaping wedge, no complaints there! 2nd irk: We were taking our time and at 7pm, the servers took away my plate when clearly we still had food on our table. Rude. My friend gave me his plate but I ate from the charcuterie board. 3rd irk: a few minutes later, they came by with mini to go cups for our wine. Umm, why are we being rushed? From 7pm - 8pm, they checked up on us... I should say rushed us at least 5 times. Not only that, they started putting away the lamp shade, chairs, and tables while we were dining. 4th irk: Closing is 8pm but normally, from my experience, restaurants don't kick customers out exactly at closing hours. They asked us if we needed to use the restroom and if not, they're closing. I've never felt rushed or experienced such rude service and this definitely killed the experience. 5 stars for the bubbly, 4 stars for the view, 0 stars for the service. read more

I've been a member of Rosenblum for years and I have never had the experience that I had with the extremely rude server Tom. I get along with all of the other staff but this man is just unprofessional. He came to our table and said "it's 8:05pm get out" and all of us were taken back. We gather our things to leave and told one of the other staff members that I was going to complain and Tom said "I don't care email Lisa" and I told him I was not speaking to him and he said it again "email Lisa". I do not appreciate being treated like this as much time and money that I spend at Rosenblum. 5 people at that table were members and I know you will be hearing from them too. If this behavior is acceptable at your establishment we are happy to cancel our memberships and take our business else. read more

I'm so glad I stopped by here to jump start my birthday night. Sharon was a blast! She was very helpful and informative when we asked questions about which wines to try. I ordered the bubbly flight which came with four various sparkling wines with such cute colors. I had never seen blue and was informed it has hints of blueberry in it. After sampling a peach sparkling wine I decided to purchase the bottle. If you purchase a bottle of wine the price of your flight is waived. Cool! The set up is cute. Small but they have an outside patio and inside seating with large or small tables. read more

SHARON deserves 5 stars! I'm hoping I got her name right. (Lovely brown-skinned woman.) She was warm and welcoming AND very attentive. I've been to Rosenblum several times and the service is usually good but Sharon made us feel [at home]! My friend wanted a salad, which they were out of. She later came back and said they have it, unfortunately it was underwhelming. I asked for ice water and was informed that Rosenblum uses 'recycled ice' ? I'm not familiar with that concept so I passed. Our meat, cheese and smoked salmon were tasty- huge portions of cheese. Crackers and baguette were standard fare. They were also out of olives, bummer. Eating out has changed as people have slipped, ignoring proper etiquette and consideration for others: there was a guy talking on his cell phone loudly for about 30 minutes. Dude, we don't care to hear your convo-send a text! lol Ambiance is fine, indoor/outdoor options. Quite a pricey late afternoon "girls' dinner", but I will be back once in a while. Thanks Sharon, you made our night. read more

I've been here several times and each visit has always been enjoyable. Very clean, the staff is very attentive and it's directly across from the ferry. The Bubbly and Rockstar are my favorite flights. The nibbles are hit or miss, the gouda is a must along with a baguette. The cheese pizza I tried was just so-so. Definitely a great for date night or to catch-up with friends. read more

My friend has a membership here so we decided to stop by for drinks. It's so cute, right next to the marina in Jack London Square. The ambiance and vibe is amazing. I tried two flights here. The Duet flight is really decadent coming with a Chardonnay, Rosé, and two reds, a Alicante Bouschet and Cabernet Sauvignon. Loved the Alicante! I also tried The Bubbly flight, so good! They also have appetizers with a variety of cheese, nuts, crackers etc. Overall, cute little spot to drink and unwind with friends! read more

Amazing service and views at this wine tasting room. We were helped by Jocelyn, who did not hesitate to give us the best attention the whole afternoon. Their specialty are Zins, but there are also great chards, rose's, and other reds on the menu. We ended up getting glasses but Jocelyn provided us with a splash of the wines we were considering so that we didn't end up with a huge glass of something we didn't enjoy (thank you!). We saw people getting cheese and thought they had ordered a double serving, but turns out this place gives you $9-12 cheeses that are HUGE blocks. Of course we then decided we couldn't leave without one. Only inside seating was available on a Sunday at 4:30 pm, but we didn't mind given that they had large windows making us feel like we were outside. By the time we left around 6 it was a bit more crowded. I'd recommend reserving a table in advanced. read more

Really appreciated the staff helping us get a table without a reservation. Such a amazing wines like the Petite Sirah that made me fall back in love with the varietal. Note to management: Whatever it takes, don't let go of Liz!! She's a sincere angel that helped me feel extra comfortable! I've been having a tough time recovering from a cold and couldn't drink the cold water and asked for something warm. While the one waiter said there's no such thing she went out of her way to get me hot water and a Numi tea packet. Went from an 8/10 to 10/10 experience!! All the best in 2023! read more

I LOVE coming to this place. My friend is a member so we more often than not come to celebrate for big events here. We came out to eat some snacks yesterday and celebrate her birthday/engagement/passing all of her school exams. Her fiancé met up with us and I was shocked by how reasonably priced everything was. I'm not a big drinker so I only had one glass but the flights are always yummy and so is the food. I recommend the warm baguette with cheese, salami, a little olive spread dipped in olive oil, SO good! Try and make a reservation for this place on the weekends, it's right by the water with incredible products so it gets kinda busy! read more

Good food, decent selection of wine. Overall, I found nothing wrong with this place. I'm subtracting a star because the tasting menu is set and they don't allow substitutions, regardless of your membership status. And I came here with a member of their wine club so you would think we would have a little bit of pull. At my wine club, I can sub out whatever I want and no one bats an eye. I was surprised at the inflexibility here. We all got the red wine tasting; it was either that or the bubbly tasting. Minus a star for not having a white wine tasting. The location is prime being right in Jack London Square, overlooking the estuary. It definitely makes up for the lack of tastings variety! Honestly, the location is the best feature of this place. The SF Ferry dock is maybe 30 steps away which makes after work happy hour super easy if you use the ferry to commute to & from the City. We also tried a salad, the salmon, bread and burrata. All were pretty good. Nothing spectacular but definitely nice to find a wine tasting spot that's still serving food during covid. It's a good vibe - I'll probably be back! read more

Everything goes well when we visit the Rosenblum tasting room. Our favorites are the Rockstar flight, the smoked salmon, the saint angel triple crème Brie and the fresh warm baguette (dbl cut). It is perfection in the warm sun with the Oakland estuary in view. Bring your sun chair and a book, and ENJOY! read more

I personally love this spot the service is great and the outside seating is beautiful. They're flight menus are what I usually go for, and the baguette and olive oil! The food menu is pretty minimum, so I don't recommend going hungry. If you get a bottle of sparkling wine you can sit outside on the grass, or the benches near the water. They'll give you an ice bucket and to go glasses! They also have blankets if it's cold out. Would just love a couple more items on the food menu please:) read more

This is a 6 star review, for our server-Breana who understood what I wanted and simply MADE IT HAPPEN! She was relaxed and yet highly efficient. I booked a meeting for half of the reserve room. 17 parents who are supporters of UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, Oakland were my attendees. I wanted a local business and while Lisa was worried that it wouldn't work, it was beyond perfect for what I needed. We will be back! read more

Had a great time here. Service was super friendly and their different styles and personalities were a nice experience. The white wines here were refreshingly different in the best of ways. Spent about an hour and a half here. Would have stayed longer but some jerk pulled up on his bike with his trailer attached and proceeded to blast his trashy music to the point my wife and I couldn't continue our conversation. People asked him to turn it down, but he ignored. Typical Oakland these days. Not only did we leave, but so did two other tables. Lost revenue for a great wine place. Too bad. read more

Talk about a helluva pairing. Rosenblum and I go back like... Well, technically we only go back a few months, but still. From the moment we met, I knew something divine and delicious and had transpired within me. Sometimes you just want a good wine flight from a local spot, and that's precisely what Rosenblum offers. I first came here with a friend and ordered a wine flight that was so delicious I ended up buying a bottle of one of the selections. When you purchase a flight, you get a discount on a bottle, which is all I needed to rationalize the buy. I wasn't a big fan of the Capistrano olives we ordered as an app, but I did enjoy the almonds served up afterward. The server was incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable of el vino. The real test of both service and menu options was a visit for an office happy hour. We were a crowd of nearly twenty and were immediately greeted by two awesome servers who guided us through which flights we might fancy. She (I'm so sorry, I usually try to remember names!) also recommended a charcuterie spread that was great: various cheeses, bread, olives, almonds, sliced meats, etc.) Throughout our visit, she checked on us regularly, provided more flights and generally looked after us. The front patio where we sat was sun-drenched and lovely, with a great view of the water. Oh, and we came on a Tuesday night, otherwise known as trivia night. We didn't partake but you probably should, since there's prizes that make the trip all the more worth it. read more

The hostess just shamed me for bringing kids to the restaurant. All I was trying to do is to get a glass of wine while while waiting for a ferry. She literally told me it's time to go, and there is BevMo around the corner. What a discussing attitude. Some people are not meant for hospitality. Will never step in foot in this place. read more
