Excellent food! We went for NYE and had a preset menu. Drinks were well crafted and ambiance was great with a live band. Wouls definitely return!
Service and atmosphere are fantastic. I highly recommend coming during happy hour and getting the three cheese plater. We will definitely be coming back for brunch!!
Cole was my bartender a nice guy with a good attitude. The place is really nice and quiet. Good music just to get away for an hour
The cellar burger oml can't stop thinking about it. Just delicious. The fried chicken sandwich pretty bomb too. With an aperol spritz, chefs kiss!! Oh and the best servers and staff everyone there is so helpful and professional!
Wow! What a night at the cellar! We had the kindest server tanner! The vibe inside is very relaxing and classy. And per our servers recommendation we got the ravioli and mac n cheese and he suggested the perfect wine pairing! Which also introduced me to my new favorite white wine, (Domaine de la meuliere)! This is a must try for date night very romantic, ambiance on point! Our server really made the experience special, will be coming back for my next wine recommendation. Thank you Tanner
Great food and immaculate vibes. Made a pit stop in San Clemente for some grub and gave this gorgeous little rustic cafe right on the main drag a try. The service was quick and friendly and the vibe feels homey and small town. Sit outside and enjoy the southern California weather while sipping a latte. They have a great selection for brunch, But I go the chilaquiles which fully delivered on expectations.
We came in with high expectations and they were certainly met. The drinks were very good. The food came out hot and delicious and the ambiance is great. The service was solid and overall a good time in there. We'll definitely be back!
Cute small spot by the beach. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. Everything is self seating and can get busy during peak business hours. Love that this spot is dog friendly too! I had the chance to try the sidewinder potatoes and the charcuterie board. Both were super tasty along with their wine and cocktail options. Service was lacking. It did take awhile to get water refilled or to even put additional food orders in. The kitchen does close and re-open by 3pm. Other than service, everything else was great.
Food (5/5 stars): We went up to San Clemente and tried The Cellar, which has an extensive wine menu and great food options! Their burger tasted very "gourmet;" I loved the thickness and cook of the patty. Even though it just had the standard toppings, less was more in this case! We also tried The Lost Inferno, a Goonies-themed speakeasy, and highly recommend that as well! Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: it's quite pricey * Wait Time: it was pretty busy on a Saturday night, but minimal * Service: good * Parking: parking can be tough in downtown San Clemente * Ambiance: very modern and classy atmosphere
