We partnered with Christy and the team at Wife and the Somm for our 10th wedding anniversary dinner and party, and they truly helped create one of the best nights of our lives.
From the very beginning, they felt like a real planning partner — thoughtful, responsive, calm under pressure, and genuinely invested in making the night joyful and easy for both us and our 40+ guests. They guided us through decisions in a way that felt fun (not stressful), and they handled the logistics with the kind of confidence that lets you actually relax and enjoy your own celebration.
A major highlight was the tasting ahead of time. We did a full tasting of the food, desserts, and beverage pairings, and it was an experience in itself — delicious, well-paced, and thoughtfully curated. It made us feel completely confident going into the event.
And the desserts deserve their own callout: they were standout across the board, and knowing that Christy bakes them herself made it even more special. Multiple guests brought them up afterward without us prompting — always a great sign.
The night-of execution was seamless: the flow, the service, the energy — everything just worked. Our guests felt taken care of, and we felt present for every moment. I’m including photos because the setup was beautiful, but what really made the night was the care, attention, and partnership from Christy and her team.
If you’re considering Wife and the Somm for a milestone celebration, we can’t recommend them highly enough. We’re so grateful.

I loved everything about this place—the food, the atmosphere, the Christmas decorations, and even the wine display and interior design. Everything felt warm and thoughtfully curated.
The only downside was that we were seated near the entrance, and cigarette smoke from people smoking outside kept coming in, which was a bit uncomfortable.
Aside from that, everything was excellent. It’s a restaurant I’m genuinely excited to see listed as a Bib Gourmand in the future.

With guests from abroad, we took back to the Wife and the Som and had a delicious dinner. It was torrentially raining outside, and parts of the corner benches had to evacuate towards the center. But under the loud noise of the rain hammering the roof over the former porch, it felt like an adventure in a tent. Staff impeccable in helping our guests to circumvent a garlic allergy, and the food as always A+. Just really missing the espresso at the end.
PREVIOUS REVIEW2:
It really is such a wonderful gem in my neighborhood. Not because it is close but because it offers a delightful dining experience. Loved everything from Meat and cheese (with Tomino del Boscaiolo, Caciotta truffle, prosciutto Toscana), the Caciotta Truffle, Ahi Tuna Tartare, Roasted Mary’s Duck breast, Grilled Cuttlefish, and Delicata squash. Lastly, the ambiance is modern and cool but cozy at the same time. And not to forget, the staff provided knowledgeable guidance about the wife’s fortes even if we disappointed the somm.
PREVIOUS REVIEW1:
A jewel, where one would not expect one, kind of at the edge of a residential area in the Glassell/Mount Washington/Eagle Rock area. But boy, it definitely was a superb choice that had long been on my list. The elegant ambience and design contrast a little bit with the surrounding neighborhood. Even if one focused more on the wife rather than the sommelier, the visit was perfect.
The staff was super friendly, so friendly and eager to please that they showed up independently and slightly discoordinatedly to redundantly ask our wishes.
But really, the food was outstanding. We took a selection of roughly 4-5 items (bread and butter, Burrata Salad, Hamachi Crudo, Ahi Tartar, and Tomato salad), and for this time skipped on the dessert, even though it looked delicious from what we could see on neighboring tables. Everything was a beautiful combination of colors and flavors, totally fresh and wonderfully arranged.
The part that we miss a little bit – coming back from Europe with the never-ending evenings in restaurants – are the longer kitchen hours. Here specifically, it closed at 9 PM with the restaurant closing two new guests at 10 PM. In Europe, in contrast, we entered the restaurants at those times and just got started …

We got the DineLA three course meal. Great service, the roast mushrooms were a dream of textures and flavor. Might go back on that alone. Parking can be difficult to find in the local neighborhood, however. Plan to come in a little earlier then expected.

Charming neighborhood spot. There is genuine care service wise from the moment you step in, greeted often by owner and sommelier. The menu is well thought out, something for everyone and curated to pair with an equally well thought out wine list. You can tell the staff is happy to be there and the ambience is quaint, comfortable. Perfect date night or brunch spot. The coq au vin was utterly divine.

We’ve dined here several times when visiting LA, it’s always been a standout choice for us. Unfortunately, tonight was disappointing.
I made a reservation weeks ago, yet when we arrived, we were met with a film crew and a table dining that was set up for what appeared to be a reality TV shoot. No one on staff acknowledged what was happening. While we were likely seated outside the camera shot, the whole atmosphere felt off.
As we left, we noticed a waiver and liability sign placed to the side of the entry door – something we hadn’t seen when entering. It basically informed us that by entering we agreed to this.
It’s disappointing that we weren’t informed of the filming when booking, confirming the reservation the day prior, or even upon arrival. I understand this may bring in revenue for the restaurant, and it’s LA, but customers deserve the choice to opt out of that experience. Not having made a drive to the restaurant and maybe or maybe not see a sign – what would have happened if we had seen the sign and decided not to enter? Do we get penalized for a “no show”, do we need to make last minute dinner plans at 7:30pm on a Saturday? It’s disappointing.
We’ve always enjoyed dining here, but based on tonight, I’m not sure we’d return.

We had $55/pp DineLA menu and sat at the bar. Food came slow but service was rather attentive. Prawns were cooked perfectly. Too much “fruits” in appetizer. Mushrooms were a bit overcooked. Highlight was the juicy pork chop!
Great vibes and good food, but timing could improve.

Absolutely love this place. Everything we had was delicious and proportioned well enough for sharing. Service and staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We were greeted by 5 different staff members in passing and they all wished we us a good night, which was appreciated. I highly recommend every dish my boyfriend and I ordered, but if I had to choose, the mussels are my favorite. The sauce is just so flavorful! We were too full to eat dessert there but got the Basque Cheesecake and Chocolate Cake to go. Just the perfect ending to a perfect meal!

Been here 4 times now and it’s gotten worse each time. They seem to want to give you what they want you to have, and the prices…wow, the prices.
Last time I was there I was with three friends and we ordered a decent amount of food and wine. The bill was $700 and I didn’t eat a thing that I can remember fondly. The ribeye had an odd flavor. The salumi and potatoes were the most serv(ice)able items.
We drank wine that they seemed to want us to have. We paid almost $700 for four people.
Every restaurant is dealing with higher costs, but it’s turning out that only a few find other ways to make us, their customers, feel that we are getting our money’s worth. If you’re going to pay this much for a meal, you can do better.

Overall no complains. We beat the evening rush and had a wonderful time talking to the staff, Getting personalized recommendations, and enjoying a calm afternoon.
The wine selection was incredible. I was able to meet a lot of staff, share som stories, talk palettes and enjoy a splendid evening.
Ambiance is wonderful. Food is solid. Perfect evening out
