Rootstock Wine Bar in downtown Mountain View is a nice spot. Four of us visited and ordered wine flights and the sparkling Rosé—everything was good, especially the Rosé. The meat and cheese board was also great, with a special mention for the cheese selection.

The service was excellent, and they gave us good wine recommendations. We’ll definitely be back.

The wines at Rootstock Wine Bar in Mountain View are simply fantastic, with the wine flights being an excellent way to sample a variety of their offerings. The ambiance is both fun and welcoming, and I especially love how open the space is, offering a great view outside. I thoroughly enjoyed the red wines and the charcuterie board. The vibe is perfect, and I’m definitely planning to return for another glass of wine. Great for date night.

Wow! Chris what a nice experience. In town from DC and the Seattle area we randomly stopped in for a bite before heading to the airport. Time was a bit of a crunch. Chris your were kind, hospitable and really went out of your way in the most gracious manner. (Owners and manager note). You guided us in wine selections even brought a comparison without our even asking. You offered help when we asked, about our food choice. Though our time was limited it felt relaxing and enjoyable. And the food and wine selections were on point. Everything came out timely and the flavors were outstanding. We had a mushroom and pesto flatbread that was full of flavor, balanced not a garlic bomb. We enjoyed the Caprese Salad and the Beets and Arugula salad as well. Again full of flavor! Next time we are in town, we'll be back. For anyone out there reading, go here! It is lovely. ! And thanks again to Chris. You a great at what you do! Stellar service!

I have had nothing but spectacular experiences at Rootstock, and especially the MV location! The staff is so knowledgeable and is so kind within their expertise. I have so many questions and so little knowledge but they always make me feel welcome with all my questions. The drinks are, of course, spectacular! I impress people at parties now with all I’ve learned through Rootstock. And the food is so tasty, I love the Empanadas especially! They have such a beautiful space and I’ve now been here at least twice when the dim the lights from day to evening and it’s always such a beautiful and subtle but welcome change. I have no restauranteer skills but the expertise at Rootstock is so inviting and inspiring to me, I dream of opening up a Rootstock location in Canada where I go to school!

This is one of the greatest wine bars in the bay: yes for their wine selection! But also? Truly foe their staff, the ambience at their wine bar, the member program, and all that I learn from their experts behind the bar *AND* all the food I enjoy and fun I have. I love this place and I’m too scared to have tattoos for real but I’d tat I love roortsfoxk on my body, that’s how enamored I am! And this is a review after 2+ years of being a patron here! I should’ve shared my love earlier but ADHD ?

but now that I’m a few months into my wine club membership, I just really had to make clear my enjoyment of Rootstock. The ambience reminds me of Edward Espe Brown’s writings: the table is a place of giving and receiving sustenance. Here we are served and serve others. That’s what I feel at Rootstock and it is such a pleasure and privilege! They make me want to learn about flavor notes so I can truly wax poetic about their menu, ambience, and so much more.

The TL;DR is if you are of drinking age, and in Mountain View: you HAVE to go to Rootstock. you will be doing yourself a disservice if you miss them! my favorite restaurant, from the chefs to staff to sommeliers! Endless things to love and celebrate.

Pros: great location, simple delicious food, good selection of wines that will fit any budget. Having wine flights and a few beer and cider choices is always plus in my book. Great atmosphere and design inside and outside. Friendly, polite, customer oriented service.
Cons: that restroom! C'mon! The sink is falling off, dirty floor on slow Sunday afternoon. In general,this restroom has more gas station vibe than upscale wine bar. Definitely can use some renovation, redesign, and tlc. Knocking one star off just for it. Sorry, but contrast was way too apparent to miss it.

Good Appetizers. Had the mushrooms and the Dates. Small amounts though for the price. Wine was very good.

Cute little wine bar with a selection of wine options.
The seating is quite comfortable, especially on the couches.
One of the light bulbs in the cluster has a different hue from the others, which makes me itch to make it right.
