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!
