Amazing wine and tons of fun. Menu changes all the time; Ruffian is doing things their way. But but but- if the cauliflower soup happens to be available, get it!

Chris Rodemeyer

Incredible selection of interesting wines from around the world, including Portugal, Hungry & Georgia. Talk to the friendly owners / sommeliers at the bar , and have your mind blown glass after glass.

Micah Chiles

Great interesting wine list, tons from uncommon, old-world places - Georgia, Slovenia, etc. Knowledge , kind staff especially if there is a wait. Ventilation is poor - the back can be a bit smoky

Jessi Singh

A true gem of a place! They are truly hospitable , sharing way beyond their incredible wine and food offerings. I love that they are generous storytellers and that they engage genuinely with guests.

Nick Losi

Fantastic atmosphere, fun and authentic and patient somms , and a wine menu that challenges and rewards all do a disservice to describing just how much of a gem this spot is.

Add ons (extra rich, spicy, tendon, extra beef) start at $2. A bowl of noodles can easily cost $20 but it’s worth it. Broth is flavorful. Wish they had more sides so I can enjoy more of their food! - Heidi
