Expert Guidance
Hospitality, Intuitively Tailored
Service rooted in knowledge, delivered with warmth.
We treat hospitality as an art. Tell us what you love, or what you are curious about, and our team will navigate terroir and technique to find the pour that fits the moment. Attentive when you want it, unobtrusive when you do not.
The Art of the Pairing →I wanted Enology to feel the way I was raised to welcome people, like family at the table. Everything here was chosen by hand: the stone, the wood, the wine, and the team who pours it. That is the Greek hospitality I grew up with, brought home to Saint James.
Dr. Dimitrios “Jimmy” KilimitzoglouFounder, Enology Wine Bar & Bistro
Outside, in Season
A Table Under the Lights
Our front patio, open through the warm months.
When the weather turns, the front of the house opens up. Bistro chairs along the screen, string lights overhead, and the same list and kitchen you would get inside. It is the easy end of an evening in Saint James: a glass of something chilled, a few plates, and no reason to hurry. Heaters stretch the season on either side of summer.
Patio tables are weather permitting and go quickly on a clear night. Mention the patio when you book and we will seat you outside if the evening allows.

Service was incredible. Everyone was so kind, attentive, and very knowledgeable. Every dish was excellent, truly no notes. I had the Nirvana Blush cocktail and that was also delightful. The atmosphere is simultaneously cozy and sophisticated, making for a great date night spot. My group had the olives, fish tacos, octopus, crab cakes, whipped ricotta, tuna tartare, and one of each dessert, and every single one of them was spectacular. I am just out here visiting family but even on this trip I plan to come back at least once more. I live in Arizona and the fish tacos were genuinely some of the best I have ever had. Also their music taste is wonderful.

We had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming, and every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. Delicious! The wine and cocktail selections were thoughtfully chosen and elevated an already outstanding dining experience. You can tell the owner and team take great pride in every detail.

If you love wine, this is the spot on the North Shore. The Cellar List is huge but the team makes it easy, and they actually listen to what you like before recommending something. We did a few small plates and the beef tartare was a standout. Great pace, no rush, just a really nice evening out in Saint James.
