Located on Central Ave. you would never find this place unless you knew it was there. You have to walk through an ally between 2 sports bars, head up a flight of stairs and go through what looks like a fire door. But once you are inside, the interior is warm and friendly. The wait staff seemed to know everyone in the place. And our server made us feel like old friends.
The real highlight is the food and wine selection. We started our meal with a glass, my wife had a very nice Sauvignon Blanc, I had the Purple hands Pino. The menu is not extensive, but there is plenty to choose from. We shared the goat cheese tart as an appetizer, it was creamy with carmalize onions. It could have just as easy been a dessert but it was perfectly done and delicious.
My wife had the salmon special and I had the pasta with fresh mushrooms in a light brandy cream. The past melted in my mouth and the flavors were amazing.
Needless to say, we will be back
Let me start by saying this is not a restaurant. Sauvignon is an elite finishing school for your palate. I came in wearing flip-flops and left speaking fluent charcuterie.
First of all, the cheese board isn’t just a cheese board — it’s a study abroad program for dairy. There’s cheese from Iowa, Spain, Italy, France… and possibly Narnia. I ordered the medium board and had to Google half the items like I was studying for the SATs. Prairie Breeze sounds like a candle. Trufado Curado? Could be a rare Pokémon. Either way, I devoured it like I just came out of a Whole30 coma.
The starters? Let’s talk about the goat cheese tart.
It was so good I nearly cried. Candied peaches, cipollini onions, balsamic pecans — it tasted like fall proposed to summer in front of a Hallmark camera crew. The shrimp panzanella? Basically shrimp went to a spa and came back emotionally balanced and perfectly seasoned.
And don’t even get me started on the brunch.
I saw someone order the Creekstone Farms Filet for brunch, and I’m not saying they were a Rockefeller, but I’m also not not saying it. I got the French Rolled Omelette and somehow felt like I owed it a tip. It had more elegance than my entire wardrobe.
The cocktails? Oh you fancy, huh.
I ordered a dessert wine flight and was instantly transported to a vineyard in Bordeaux where a man named Jacques gently whispered sweet nothings into my ear about sugar dust and Muscadelle. There’s literally a wine called “Off the List Dessert Vibes.” If that doesn’t sound like a Taylor Swift album and a wine bar collab, I don’t know what does.
The dessert? Oh, you mean the Butterscotch Budino from Heaven™.
It came with a pepita seed brittle and Biscoff crumble like it was handcrafted by dessert angels. The Peanut Butter Pie nearly made me unbutton my pants at the table and I wasn’t even ashamed.
Final thoughts:
Sauvignon is the kind of place where you go “just for a glass of wine” and somehow end up six courses deep in duck pâté and whispering to your date, “Should we just move in here?”
10/10 — would refinance my house for another cheese board.
Their subscription “wine locker” is worth asking about. Retail priced wine as and when you want it. Whether it’s dine in or take out!
Food there is outstanding. The chefs understand their craft, honing in on the quality of local produce and fresh ingredients. Their happy hours and discount days are one of the best around.
Recommend the Duroc Chop and I never usually order pork anywhere I go. It will have you wanting to return again.
The vibe is also always great. It gives you that blend of sophistication without being pretentious. More relaxed and good central avenue vibes on the terrace if you go late enough.
A must in St.Pete
