  Love this place. Casual, good food, great wines. A bit pricey, but to be expected in that location. Food quality is excellent. Counter service and self seating. Order your food, then go grab a glass of wine in the wine shop. Just lovely.

  Never have I been more ignored. Sadly had to beg for help from one of the "gentlemen" at the bar and didn't even get a "goodbye" Another customer was more than happy to help and was actually super friendly and supportive.

  Extremely helpful staff, great selection. This is my go-to spot if I need some guidance on a wine pairing. Wide range of prices to suit any purpose.

  Impressive, expansive collection of wines, French in particular. They even have a selection of French Cabernet Francs that are not overpriced, which is unusual. Service was pleasant and helpful as well.

  Wine can be intimidating if you're not an expert, but the friendly people and great collection at Arlequin Wine Merchant make the experience feel comfortable, fun, and unpretentious. There are almost always wines open for tasting, and they can be purchased by the glass. The store has a quaint and comfortable wine-cellar feeling with tables interspersed between crates of wine, avoiding the feeling that you are closer to a stranger next to you than the company with whom you arrived. Arlequin Wine Merchant is connected to Arlequin Cafe - an act of true genius, allowing you to order something delicious from the Cafe and have it with something nice to drink from the Wine Merchant. On nice days, you can enjoy food and drink on a lovely patio in the back, or on-street seating out front (a favorite spot for dog owners). The Arlequins are a perfect mid-day pause for a Hayes Valley outing. Their proximity to the Performing Arts garage means you can stop for lunch, buy wines, and drop off your bags at your car before venturing back to Hayes.
