    First off this might be one of the best burgers I've ever had, secondly very nice ambience. We got the Maria Bay Burger and Wild Tots and it was amazing. The staff was incredible, Jannette was super chill! Would highly recommend!

    This place is great to bring your dogs and kids after a hike. There was a playground area for kids to play on and all seating is outdoors so you can hang out with your dogs. They also had a dj playing when I came on a Sunday. Burgers were very filling and tasty. Beers available but it was only canned options. Would love to come back and try other food options.

    Food was good. Burger was smashed burger. But too oily. I only realized that afterwards, when my tummy hurt. Service was awesome. Ordered at window and picked up at another. The ambience and space is awesome. I love the set up and of course the guava beer! I did not like the garlic fries, it was too much parmesan and too little garlic.

    Awesome little spot tucked away from the ghetto-ish-ness of Richmond. Fully fenced around, live music on a Sunday the girl was good. The burgers are good, nice and flavorful. The French fries were crispy (big plus). Maybe a tiny pricey (20 bucks for a double burger) but it was a good time. the service was super quick got our food within minutes. We brought our dogs. Lots of people bring their kids to run around

    I usually am never in this area, but we decided to come here after biking. I've always heard great things about this place and since it was fairly nice out on a winter day, we decided to enjoy the outdoors. This is a very family-friendly environment, which I've noticed right off the bat when I saw other families and kids there. The area itself seems a little sketch, but right when we walked inside, we felt the warm welcome. It was karaoke going on during the time we went, so it seemed like there were a lot of regulars, and there were kids and adults singing, which was very cute. There are a lot of games to keep the little ones occupied while the adults enjoy a beverage. We got some beers and mimosas to start off with. For food, we got the Backyard Burger, The Point Molate Salad, Hamburger and wild fries. All of the food was pretty tasty and the staff was great. The karaoke host was especially welcoming. I look forward to gathering all my friends and kids and coming back for a day out on a sunny day. It is a great place to connect with family and friends while enjoying great food and a cold beverage.

    What a hidden gem! Cute outdoor area and perfect when it's a hot summer day. Richmond can get cold so definitely bring a jacket. The parking lot is on dirt/rocky area. Their bathrooms are situated just outside, except not a porta-potty. The vibe is cozy. Nice background music, a little stage, and some games set up for anyone to play. They serve beer and burgers mostly. The service is self-serve and you pick up the food once the pager goes off. The food is delicious! Probably one of the best burgers I've had. They have hanging lights and things so I bet at night it's pretty too. We got too cold since we didn't bring jackets so didn't stay to see the sun go down. This is definitely on my list to return too. I hope to come back when they have live music too.

    Such a cute little hidden gem in Richmond. I was surprised how big the place is and how it actually feels like a backyard party. The food was actually really good as well a little pricey but tasty. The staff was very friendly as well.

    This is such a wonderful local spot. The food is wonderful and the outdoor space is lovely. There is frequently live music and the garden is great. Great gluten free options! 10/10 would recommend.

I have since learned that the online shop is just for pick up and shipping and that those bottles aren't necessarily in the wine bar itself so if you're looking to pick up something from the online store to drink in the wine bar, be sure to arrange that in advance (I'd suggest as early as possible) so they can have the wine brought to the wine bar and chill it if necessary so it's the proper serving temperature for you to drink in-house. I'm absolutely blown away by the wines they have on offer and the prices at which they're able to offer them. This is easily one of the best places to pick up higher end French wines for pretty competitive, if not the lowest prices in the area. They have cheese and charcuterie available and make a pretty good jambon beurre. From time to time, they'll host popups from local chefs and they will take over the food - we had some really delicious halibut crudo and duck confit, which paired nicely with our wines! Lastly, they host a ton of really great events. I randomly stopped in one night and it was a completely packed house for trivia night. I wasn't able to stay long, but it was awesome to feel the energy of the place. Even when it's quieter, I love the vibe with vinyl playing and old VHS tapes playing - very nostalgic!

Kayaks, yachts,bikes, wind surfing fishing and a a slew of casual fun and funky eateries cropping up. It's been a few years since Noel warmly welcomed us "neighbors" into his establishment, prior to officially opening. Through the ups n Downs of Covid and him finding his business legs, we've happily supported this spot, meeting his entire family in the process. Well he is still sweet and humble but.... Busy! I mean as in this organic wine thing is... a big THING! I hi knew??? Apparently Noel did! He's graduated from the curious neighbors and locals featuring his Purity wines, to coop with a dedicated following of passionate organic wine makers and their entourage of fans , Friends devotees; restauranteurs, and media moguls all centered around the notion of organic wines aka a cast of thousands! Damn grapes never had it so good. Case and point Point now following his Instagram account lead by his bike riding enthusiast protege, Tyler, the Study hosted a massive event last weekend. We didn't plan to attend but were curious and anxious to see if it was a success or a bust. The event By the way featured more than 20 wine makers, there was food fun music and when we drove by as nosy neighbors, we heard the music pumping. Wow the crowd was massive! Standing room only spilling onto the drive way and garage bay. Of course the crowd was typical Bay Area, ethnically diverse hip, smart and totally having a blast! You may be wondering why we didn't go? We have a puppy who is bat shit cray cray. He loves people so much he would be all over anyone who say ah cute puppy and mayhem would be the result! Not to mention the wine spillage food tables rummaged. All this even tho Noel insists we bring Koa over so the team can meet him. Well maybe a lazy Thursday or Friday evening when things aren't quite off the chain.which frankly... seems to be an impossible goal. The study wine bar is chocked full of wine related happenings and the fan base has exploded! Hell I remember I had to help Noel create his Yelp account. For 2 years he had less than 10 folks commenting! Wow times have changed! To quote Steve Harvey, You go boy!!! The variety, creativity and passion of Noel and his fellow wine stompers, have the neighborhood buzzing... in a good way.

The restaurant was spacious and of course had a cute little view of the marina and bay right outside. Dinner time on a weekday was nice and convenient, and the staff were super chill and patient as we took time to scan the menu and decide what we wanted. We ordered the following: - Shaking chicken: 4.5/5 - this was so flavorful and such a good protein dish! - Spring rolls: 4/5 - Clean and healthy; the sauce made it sooo good. - Fish cakes: 4/5 - they were yummy and good complement to the other dishes we had considering that we tried to balance out our nutritional options. - Spiked Vietnamese coffee: 5/5! I love Vietnamese coffee already but getting to experience an alcohol-based version was solid with this dinner. It was strong with a rich coffee flavor. Something I'd like to emphasize is that these dishes (in my opinion) are ideal for sharing. I ended up taking a lot of the food home because between us two, it was rough eating everything in one go. I can see Anh being a popular place to celebrate as well as a good place for a date! I'd definitely love to come back in the near future.
