The Marine Room

The wine list arrives and it hits like the Pacific against those cliffs outside — substantial, a little intimidating, and genuinely impressive. Four hundred to six hundred selections anchored by California and France, with a sommelier team of four ready to guide you through it. This isn't a list someone threw together; it's a list someone built with intention over years.

California is the obvious strength here — Kistler, Harlan Estate, Screaming Eagle, Sine Qua Non, Peter Michael, Opus One, Ridge Monte Bello — the kind of roll call that makes collectors quietly excited and everyone else quietly nervous about the bill. France holds its own with Chateau Margaux, Chateau Latour, Domaine Leroy Burgundy, and Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet, covering the Bordeaux-Burgundy axis with serious depth. Au Bon Climat and Dominus round out a list that spans crowd-pleasing names and genuine collector material without feeling scattered. The gap is everywhere outside California and France — if you're hunting Rioja or Barolo, you're in the wrong restaurant.

Twenty to thirty-five pours by the glass is a real program, not a token gesture, and with sommelier-staffed service you can actually get guidance on what's rotating and what's worth the pour. Wednesday's half-price wine night turns the by-the-glass list into a genuine opportunity — quality at this level, at half the markup, is a meaningful deal. We'd lean on the staff here rather than scanning the list blind.
