Piala Restaurant and Wine Bar

"TLDR; really good quality food, everything is consistently good. We came here for dinner (no reservations) because my aunt raves about this spot all the time. It’s a small place so expect seating to be tight and to bump chairs against other tables. The food was really really good. We ordered the chicken skewers, bean stew with cheese cakes, mushrooms, the kale dumplings, a plate of pickled vegetables and several flatbreads. The stew, skewers and dumplings really stand out - highly recommend getting these."

"OM*G. Hidden treasure. Although it may seem foreboding at first, the dimly lit interior actually felt intimate and cozy. There were fresh flowers at every table. Being unfamiliar with the cuisine of the country of Georgia, we tried a variety of dishes. Everything was delicious, with flavor profiles similar to Eastern European, Mediterranean, and Near Eastern cuisines, (which makes perfect sense as it is a country on the silk road.) The cheese and herb pie I could happily eat every day for the rest of my life. We also had dumplings and chicken skewers that tasted similar to chicken shawarma that I make at home, and a lavosh wrap with the same chicken. I want to go back and try a bunch of different things that we didn't get to try this time."

"What a great and interesting dining experience! Really a dynamic exploration of flavors. For such a culinarily-rich area like the Bay , rarely does a restaurant explore such niche cuisines, and do so in such a resounding, refined and pleasant manner. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, fun and seemed to really enjoy working there and with each other. We ordered the beef and pork dumplings, the lamb wrapped cabbage, and the chicken liver/hearts, with a glass of Georgian wine. All outstanding and I cannot wait to explore the menu further."

"Beautifully unique food, great atmosphere. This place is very popular, and with good reason. We offered to move tables to accommodate a large group, and the staff were thoughtful enough to give us free dessert for our move. We'll definitely be back!"

"Oh, so tasty! Jeff the owner was our server. My two friends and I ordered several different plates and shared. The squash dumplings were a favorite along with the meat skewers and ham with mustard. The mushroom dish was spicy, so I got to eat that by myself. The mushroom pie was flakey and appropriately cheesy and the wine list was fantastic and affordable with by the glass options."
