The Cellar Door

So, let me first say, this is not a review about their wines or the selections or the tastings (which are all great) - it's about their Father's Day dinner. I got to choose and after seeing the email sent out about their Father's Day dinner, I knew where we were going. So I got to go with my daughter, my son, my stepson and my daughter's fiancé. My wife unfortunately had a migraine headache and couldn't make it. We started with some small plates, or appetizers, that consisted of the beef empanadas, stuffed mushrooms, peppadew peppers (my favorite), and Tuscan herbed crostini's (new to the menu). These did not last long, but shortly after which, our main course arrived. The Meat Board - all meat served on a large cutting board. There was a 12oz ribeye and 6oz filet - cooked medium rare, and then there were the lamb lollipops and last, which is my wife's favorite, the seared Ahi tuna. We also had a bowl of the meatballs and sauce. Everything was devoured and we had to order additional small plates for the big appetites at the table. Had it not been for the characters I brought in, there would have been more than enough food for normal appetites. And my son (14) had one of the hamburgers with truffle fries - they are very good. Everything was amazing and just not enough time to write about each one. We also had a bottle, or maybe two of Whole Cluster Pinot Noir. Very good. Chef Julieta did an amazing job preparing our food and making it a most enjoyable evening. Owner Ron Holsomback has a great place and has done a wonderful job at putting together great wines with great foods.

Came on Sunday afternoon for the first time. There was only one girl working, I think her name was Maya? She was extremely friendly and welcoming. We sat and had a glass of the house Pinot Grigio and the Texas Bluebonnet. Both wines were excellent. We had the cheese lovers charcuterie board and that was very good as well. The atmosphere was very relaxing. Darker setting, comfortable booth, easy music in the background. Maya was the perfect amount of attentiveness. We loved our time here. It was a great spontaneous date location. If we were to change anything at all we would hope they would add in flights/tastings so we can get some variety, as there are no wine descriptions on the menu and they have a LARGE list of wines. However, we will be back! Thanks!!

This is one of the best wine bars I've ever been to. They have a tremendous knowledge of wines, free wine tasting and I never have a bad experience

If your in the area and are looking for a date night idea this is it! From the out side of the strip mall it looks very unassuming. Walk in and bam, ambiance! I love a dark well decorated,small and cozy spot to spend time with my husband! The food is delicious. MIKE is our favorite waiter. We will be back soon. You gotta try the empandas. Two small critiques would be they are a bit pushy with the wine club. I think it's worth it but I would tone it down. You don't want customers to feel pressured. Second, the samosas would be much better with a sweet chili sauce instead of the marinara provided. All in all we love this place.

Really enjoyed the quiet & intimate ambiance this place has. The food and service were good. No complaints here, I would visit again when looking for a nice spot that's not crowded. It was a Friday around 6pm and we were able to talk across the table in a regular voice & hear each other. It was great. Ate the food before I got a picture but dessert was delicious

In Short: Great food, good service; Worth it for a quieter night out in our case. Couple of larger nearby tables seemed to be enjoying all that was offered, too. Located in the more settled-in area of Katy, the area shows its age outside but nice enough once you get in the door. Outstanding wine selection and a lot of good food to choose from. We were more than happy with how everything tasted. Service was okay. Leaned a bit slow but got the job done. Place was not busy for a Saturday night. Will go back...

This is a restaurant that specializes in wine. It is suitable for romantic gatherings, tasting California and Italian wines. The environment is elegant.GRANDE BORDEAUX $24, very expensive, I hope the merchants will introduce preferential measures, otherwise customers will not come again.
