    Went for Valentine’s Day and was impressed with the prompt and attentive service. Loved the nightly specials and enjoyed the wine pairings suggested by the sommelier. Most of the food was excellent, but some of the sides we wouldn’t reorder. Excited to come back to this cute neighborhood spot!

    The front of the house staff did not honor my reservation with OpenTable and tried to make me wait 45 min, they also tried to put my party at the bar or outside. Disappointing. Not coming back.

    We arrived for our revised reservation of 5:30pm. I called on Wednesday 2/5/25 to change it from 5pm to 5:30pm. upon arrival we were told that the reservation was at 5pm. I explained to host the situation. We were sat down then 5 minutes later were told the manager was moving us to the bar area and now would have 1hr 45 minutes to eat. When I spoke with the manager about the situation the hostess right away came up to us. She started arguing with her manager in front of us why we can’t eat in the dining area. I told them it was rude for them to argue about where to sit us down to eat. They didn’t offer anything to accommodate us for their mistake. We decided to leave. Instead we ate at the Arbor in Pasadena where their manager right away found a place for us to sit at the bar to enjoy drinks appetizers while waiting for our a new reservation I had to make at Nicks of Pasadena to celebrate my cousin’s birthday. Thank you for being rude and making us feel not welcomed. It allowed us to realize that we will never go back to your restaurant and we have taken to social media to inform everyone what horrible customer service you have!!!!!

    Overall it was a pleasant experience We did the Dine LA menu with the $20 wine flight and tried all the desserts The good: Chicory salad, the pork belly, the halibut and the jerk chicken. If you are a big fan of polenta then the semolina is a good choice. Otherwise go with the pork The cheesecake was, hands down, the best dessert but the crème brûlée was also tasty. The other two were OK We were surprised that the conventional beverage list was limited(no tea or coffee) but we adapted just fine. The service was excellent and the sommelier enhanced the dining experience The ambiance was a plus. It’s a fun place . The big question: would we come back? Absolutely.

    We’ve been coming to Wife & The Somm since they first opened, and it has become so much more than a favorite restaurant—it feels like family. Chris (the Somm) and Christy (the Chef/Wife) are two of the warmest, most genuine people you’ll ever meet. When they heard we lost our home in the fires, they reached out with such kindness and support, which meant the world to us. The space they’ve created is beautiful—simple, elegant, and welcoming, with a big olive tree in the dining room that adds so much character. And Christy’s food? Incredible. The mussels and mushrooms are always divine, the fresh daily pasta never disappoints, and the cocoa-rubbed pork belly is next-level delicious. Every dish is executed with so much care, and Chris’s wine pairings take it all to new heights. Wife & The Somm isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to connect, to feel at home, and to enjoy food and hospitality that comes straight from the heart. We can’t recommend it enough!
