Amazing spot! I had the best sweet cocktail ever, Pear Pressure. It tasted like a cold Hot toddy. We had a great time on the patio, sipping on our drinks, and snacking on hummus and flatbread. We plan to come back.

This is a fun, neighborhood place to meet up with friends or go on a date. There’s always a fun crowd from all ages and backgrounds. Sometimes there’s like music. They decorate for different holidays and offer special drinks:cocktails based on the theme. There’s a large wine selection and beer on tap. The food is good and can be for appetizers or dinner. The large charcuterie board and the pastrami sliders are great. The flat breads and small bites are yummy too. It’s cozy living room vibes inside and there’s a large patio with heaters and fire pits outside.

Visited Cellar Door with a friend to celebrate my pre-birthday, and it was a great experience! Enjoyed some lovely drinks paired with delicious cheese, making for a perfect celebration. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Highly recommend for a special night out!

We visited this place on Friday evening for drinks and appetizers. The place was decently busy but we got seated quickly. We ordered 4 different cocktails and each of them was amazing. Especially liked the whiskey based cocktails. We also ordered mushroom flatbread and it was tasty. There also live music playing on site.

Wonderful spot off the main drag to grab a glass of wine. They have a beautuful outdoor patio that's perfect for people watching, getting some sun, and is dog friendly. Inside is a chic wine celler-esque vibe that would make for a great date spot. Their wine list is fantastic; just enough options without being overwhelming. They offer flights, half glasses, full pours, and bottles. The staff is very knowledgeable and unobtrusive. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy life.

Great location and good wines. The patio is awesome in the late afternoon with the sun behind the buildings and the inside is very cozy. Their wine tasting menu is cool with some of the flight options and various size offerings. Sometimes I feel like the pours are a little on the small side but not going to ding them on that.

Scott and the Cellar Door team were fantastic to work with for an event we hosted there! Would highly recommend! The food was delicious and they kept it stocked all night. The staff were super attentive to guest drink orders. The music was fun! Scott was very flexible and accommodating with our decor requests. We had a blast!

This place is fantastic. Great selection of wine and food, great ambiance, and exceptional service from Scott. We were there for our friend’s birthday and were craving dessert with our wine, which is the only thing they didn’t have (although he said they are working on getting it soon). He actually went to the local bakery (Primrose) and brought us back several dessert choices! 11/10 service, we can’t wait to come back. Was also really impressed with the value for my cab flight and my friend’s bubbly flight with very generous pours.

Great place to grab a glass of wine and enjoy a nice conversation. Can get wines by the glass or in flights. Plus, cocktails on the menu too. They've expanded the patio, and now there's plenty of room.

Been here twice when they had live music outdoor in their patio area. Rocking good time for everyone. Some food served. Wine, beer & whisky. Indoor, mello live music often too. Terry, the owner, likes to see everyone having a good time.

James is freaking awesome!!! Love that guy!! He made us some super good mules and went above and beyond to get to know us. Sam was another staff that helped us and he was great too. The drinks are so good but I'd come back just for the staff!

Par until the food came out. Then it was impressive. Delicious. Quick. Great server, never got his name. But yeah, no reason to question this place if your ask me.

The bartender was friendly but a bit slow. The wine we tried was enjoyable, though I expected a greater variety for a wine bar. That said, I think we need more places like this with great design and decent service.

The ambience was great. Came in at the end of their evening. We had a glass of wine each. The bartender was definitely the low spot. Waited for a bit for him to finish his conversation with someone at the end of the bar (and it wasn't that busy). And I still had to make eye contact with him to get him down to my end. I asked if they carried any syrahs (shot in the dark as they have none on their menu). I asked for a glass Pinot Noir ($13), and he had to exclaim that there was only enough for one glass...to which I said sounds like I'll get that last glass. For my second, I asked for a glass of the Pinot grigio ($15). He went on about how busy they had been and didn't have any left, so I began to look at the menu for an alt. He mentioned an international Sauvignon Blanc, but I wasn't entirely interested in that over priced suggestion. Shortly after, while I was looking at the menu, the person that he was speaking with earlier, went behind the bar, and pulled the wine I just asked for from the cooler. The bartender snickered about it not being sure that was the right wine. But other person said it was in the bottom of the cooler where it always is. After pouring the second glass, the bartender made a sideways comment about the total being $100.... I just gave him a look "not in the mood for fockery". He then said it would be $40 or $50. I slid $40 over knowing the total and walked away with my glasses. As I was half way to my seat he (the bartender) said loudly that the total was $40 and that didn't include a tip. To which I ignored and continued to my seats, knowing that he had his, and that I definitely wouldn't be giving one after that comment.

It was incredibly loud since there was a two-person band playing with many speakers, it was packed, and it's a very small building. It was fairly dark and their menu was very limited (I am aware that it is a bar and small restaurant). We had to see a show after going here, and they were incredibly slow. The service wasn't too "thrilling" either. All in all, it was not a pleasant experience.

Great atmosphere and nicely decorated. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst service experiences we had. We came into this place on Thursday after our dinner just before 9 pm (thinking they close at 10 pm per their operating hours). First, it took a while before anyone came over (it wasn't crowded). When we wanted to order, the wines we wanted to order were not available. We tried to order a "Steve's Picks - 2022 M5" and tried to order the 2021 Willakenzie Estate Pinot that was $20 a glass. Both were not available, and the server noted their website menu was going to be updated. We then proceeded to order whatever pinot was available. To our horror, that was probably only the beginning of our substandard experience at this place. Without any warning whatsoever, they turned on all the lights at around 920pm and proceeded to turn off the music at 925pm, clearly wanting to have everyone out. What a way to chase folks out early and close shop!! There were two other couples that were still there. But we got the hint and decided to chug our wines and leave. We are not coming back. Such a turn-off, and what a pity.
