- DDebraVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoEllie's Tap and Vine exceeded all expectations! The short ribs were absolutely divine—so tender they practically melted in my mouth. The osso buco was a standout with its unique curry twist, adding just the right amount of flavorful kick. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing, enjoyable meal. And whatever you do, don’t skip the apple crumble—it’s the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic dining experience.
