I came here last night during happy hour (which apparently encompasses Wed. after 10pm, who knew?) for a drink. My drinking companion and I were able to get seated without a problem, which is nice because it usually seems to be packed. We didn't order any food, since he just came from dinner elsewhere, and I'd had dinner earlier. I ordered the house white blend, and it was \"citrusy and refreshing,\" as our waiter put it. My drinking companion ordered a cocktail with tequila, fortified wine, and orange bitters, which I took a sip of, and it was quite refreshing, as well.\n\nService was excellent, as I've come to expect in establishments such as Legume, and our server was great at explaining the various drinks and suggesting them based on our tastes. The atmosphere was laid back and classy, and quiet enough to actually converse with my drinking companion--much better than the average Oakland bar. The only downside is that the drinks are a bit pricy, but the happy hour discount helps, and hey, you're paying for quality. To be honest, I don't feel that I can fairly rate this place until I order some of the cocktails or food, hence why I'm going with my default \"I liked it\" 4-star rating. I'm sure I'll be back, though, given how close I live!
