    Three dips
    Maura C.

    I really enjoyed my dining experience at Celladora! First off, I highly recommend you make a reservation because there are only 4 tables in here for dining purposes, so I felt very lucky that we were able to get in here! I was visiting Richmond so my understanding is that this is predominantly a wine shop. The vibe was cool, and overall we had great service! Our waitress was helpful and attentive. The food was pretty good and I wish I could remember exactly what we ordered haha, but I was here with two other friends and we split everything. That is definitely the way to do it so that you can try a lot of things. I really enjoyed the dips, tuna dip, and the rice/meat dish we got. I thought the fish we had was also pretty good! I believe we got a beef tartare but I didn't love that personally. I'd recommend this spot for anyone looking for a nicer date night vibe with a casual feel

    Enjoying wine and small bites.

    Loved everything about this charming little wine shop/small plates restaurant. The food was locally sourced and the wines delicious. They never open the same bottle again so you can try something new every time. Would like to see some more seating or outdoor seating in the warmer months but that's a minor criticism. I enjoyed talking to the server who told us about the wines.

    Not only is Celladora my favorite wine shop, but it's also currently the best place for dinner (in my opinion). The food is inventive, fresh, and so delicious. The wine service continues to be the best and it doesn't matter who's working, the service is always spectacular. Celladora is the perfect place for a date night.

    We had a wonderful meal and wines. The reservations are done by text and the restaurant was kind to text us before we were leaving that they were running a bit behind ( so we didn't have to wait once we got there) Staff very knowledgeable about the different wines and food being served. While it is a small menu there were different choices given some of my dietary restrictions. Food was delicious and very fresh. I would rate it 9.3/10 only because the seared tuna took time to come out and was generally overcooked and the radicchio was a very bitter element in terms of flavor balance. We loved the choice of frisée for the Caesar salad and the beef tartare was outstanding with the Middle Eastern notes Will be back very soon!!!!

    Stunning feast!!!

    I attended a special event at Celladora a week ago, and the darling wine shop has been on my mind ever since. I loved everything about it and can't wait to return again sometime soon! Our group (Social Club RVA) had the entire space reserved with a pre-set menu and optional wine tasting. Safe to say, I opted into the tasting. Upon walking in, it was clear that so much thought had been put into the aesthetic of the space. The vibe was so welcoming, with an intimate setup of two long tables (special for the group, it's usually separated out, I believe). Megan and her team were lovely hosts, and we had a very relaxed tasting of three different natural wines (Sunset was my favorite) with explanations on each, as well as eight different food items. We started with the house-spiced nuts, which were cashews with lime leaves, lemongrass, and Thai chili. Delightful all around. I had to stop myself from over-indulging in them. We also had house-marinated olives with citrus, garlic, and dried chili. Olives are among my favorite foods and when the table almost left some behind, myself and another girl scooped up a bunch of them so they wouldn't go to waste. Once we were fully settled in at the tables, we were treated to three dips (yogurt and garlic, mahamara, and baba ganoush) with Sub Rosa flatbread. Oh, my gosh. I probably could've finished off those dips and bread singlehandedly if I wasn't with a large group. Sooooo good! I especially loved the yogurt dip. It was so cool and refreshing. For our next course, we had flounder ceviche with peppers, clementines, and cilantro. I didn't personally love this, but I am also not huge on peppers or raw fish. Others did enjoy it though. Just not my thing! After that, we had cucumber salad with Szechuan oil, cilantro, and peanuts. Loved this dish, and I'm not usually a big cucumber fan! So tasty. Once that was cleared, we had queso fundido, of which I had the bulk. People were actually going to leave the cheese behind, like come on, you can't do that! Oro's gemelli and pork larb were our last two courses. Both were a touch too spicy for me, but pretty much anything is too spicy for me, so please don't let that stop you from ordering them if they have them. All told, Celladora was the scene of one of my happiest nights of summer thus far, and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants to indulge in delightful food and great wine.

    I love Celladora Wines! If you're looking for an intimate wine experience, this is the spot for you. ***LOCATION*** Located in the Fan, on Lombardy near Floyd, this cozy wine shop is a local gem. With its giant windows and limited seating, you're in for an intentional moment with tasty wines. ***EXPERIENCE*** I've been hear a few times and every time I visit I'm so happy. I think the natural lighting and people watching give me so much joy. I also love the bright colors of the water glasses. There are only four tables at this place. You're able to make a reservation by messaging them on Instagram, texting their number, or calling them. Celladora Wines is one of many local establishments that make Richmond so special. Richmond's local businesses excel at familiarity. It's like living in a small town and knowing everyone, when in reality it's a city. Places like Celladora shine at creating those relationships. I love that they only have four tables. It feels like you're really catered to as a guest here. Sometimes you might wait a little, but when it's your turn you're given undivided attention. I love that they try to give customers the chance explore different wines. It's a lot of fun to try more organic and natural wines for me! They have food here too. They also host really fun popups. You can learn more about them on their Instagram. ***PRICE*** I spent about $30 for two glasses of wine on a recent visit. ***BATHROOM*** There is a very clean and stylish single all gender restroom for guests. ***CONCLUSION*** This is an incredible spot for a first date, a girls night, those new to wine, those familiar with wine, a selfcare day, and more. I love Celladora Wines and highly recommend trying it to anyone and everyone.

    Fabulous gem in the Fan. Wonderful surprising selection of natural wines paired with inventive delicious food. Personal service that is attentive and informative about the amazing wines. Intimate setting with lovely vibe. Will definitely be back soon.

    I really enjoyed my time at Celladora tonight. I've been meaning to go all year and finally had the chance to check it out. It's SO cozy inside. Perfect for a date night. I went with my two sisters to grab a bottle. The place is very small so I would recommend making reservations just to ensure seating. We sat at a table but apparently there was a reservation snafu so we were asked to move. We would've moved regardless but we were offered a free glass of wine for the inconvenience. Wow, I love good customer service. Things like that make me want to continue to patronize the business because it shows they genuinely care. They have a really good wine selection and everything is organized by regions. They also have food! Sadly, we just came from dinner so we didn't get the chance to eat but I will be definitely be back to try the food because it all smelled delicious!!

    I would highly suggest that you ignore the 1 star review and go here soon! It is a very small but special wine bar and retail shop in the heart of the Fan. Megan, the owner, hand picks all of the wine from all over the world. She is passionate about bringing good wine to the community and the Fan is tremendously lucky that she decided to move there to open up this spot. She has poured her heart and soul into the business and it is very apparent if you give yourself the opportunity to experience it. The unique selection of wines are from all over the world and there's something nice for anyone's budget. And if you're not a wino like me, Megan will make sure that she figures out what your palate is and gets you what you'll enjoy. The chef is also incredible. He only works off a hot plate but manages to make some delectable foods that pair perfectly with wine. Send Celladora a request on IG and they'll reserve a table for you. This is not the place you go for quick service. It's a place you go to enjoy company and learning about wine.

    Beef Tartare

    After walking by Celladora several times and admiring how cute and charming it was in there, I finally made a reservation for dinner. Despite being predominately a wine shop, I was very impressed with the food. We started with the beef tartare, which was very unique compared to other restaurants in Richmond. Instead of relying on capers and olive oil, they used a really complex combination of spices to really make it taste exciting and different. I loved it. Then we had the flounder ceviche, which was refreshing, delicious, and a bit spicy! Moving onto the seared tuna -- it was cooked perfectly and the sauce was wonderful. I loved the dollop of cream to help bring a richness to the dish. The green beans were fine, but the star was definitely the tuna. Lastly, we had the pork larb, which had so much flavor! I was genuinely impressed by this dish and how sweet yet sour yet spicy it was. There were so many flavors and it was just delicious. I'm not a wine expert, but the bottle our server recommended to pair with our food was very nice. I will definitely be coming back! :)

So much food came out that our plan at a midday snack became our dinner. Half of the grilled cheese made its way back home. I especially liked the Brie, whipped ricotta, and speck on the charcuterie board. The grilled cheese was perfectly balanced with the apple butter and mustard as well. We also got roasted red peppers as a surprise. Those and the olives were again, superb! We ate in the dead of winter, and left fully warmed by our meal. I can imagine the ambiance in the summer to be delightful when they open their outdoor patio! One thing to note if it's your first time. We sat ourselves and ordered at a register for our food. It was brought to us by friendly staff. Afterwards we bussed our glassware and left our plates.

Did I mention the exquisite ceiling tiles and the exposed brick? An architectural feast for the eyes! For a delightfully palatable, chic experience, this is the Jardín of eden!

It was mid day so we were seated upstairs with no wait. Staff is super responsive and friendly. Outdoor seating was great with its view of the street below. Complimentary nuts and olives were given. Sangria was my drink of choice and it was delicious. I the drink was largely fresh made with their house wine and was so easy to drink. After a couple of glasses, I wanted to try their popular meat and cheese tray. I asked about a combo of both Spanish cheeses and meats. The sausages were excellent and the soft and hard cheese just added a nice touch to the snack.

We ordered sangria and the table red wine and both were delicious. The sangria rioja is a touch on the sweeter side, which I personally don't mind, but just be aware if that is not your thing! It did taste better once it was a little bit diluted. The rice dish (arroz meloso) was one of their brunch specials and it was FANTASTIC! It has shrimp, chorizo, and chicken, and the rice was cooked and flavored to perfection. It was like a mini paella and the portion was huge. Definitely big enough to share for two people! I even told the waitress they need to add this to their menu permanently and not just as a special. We also ordered the patatas bravas (the crispy potatoes with spicy sauce), and it quite literally transported me back to my time when I lived in Spain. It came with a side of garlic aioli which was divine...creamy, garlicky (but not TOO garlicky), and seasoned well. the red sauce on the potatoes was delicious and spicy, so beware if you are not fan of spicy food. We had a little mishap with another tapa (the pan iberico, which they have listed as a flatbread) which I unfortunately did not take a picture of and did not care for at all. They gave us the vegetarian version by mistake, but our waitress was awesome and she recognized the mistake right as it came to our table. We got the right one and it wasn't bad, but definitely wouldn't order again. That would be the only thing I would avoid from the menu, as it's not traditionally Spanish. It was like a mini pizza with chorizo and had manchego melted on top. I'm sure a lot of people would like it, but it just didn't make much sense to me! Atmosphere is warm and inviting, and I can't wait to go back for a wine tasting and more tapas. Try them out :)

He had a huge vault of songs... everything I asked for, he had. Some of which are not as popular as others. AND the best part, he could change the pitch to accommodate my vocal range. Some of my favorite songs are a bit too high, and I had to ask for two of them to be brought down 1/2 step. Songs ranged from 50s to current. Enjoyable singers all around and everyone was fun to watch. I got a glass of their tempranillo, which was perfection. Full bodied, super dry and delicious. I also got a pizza, which is kind of a personal size. Very thin. Good, but not great. Decor is nice. Newly renovated with mostly tables all on the same level, but also a couch area next to the TV, and about three bar seats. Plenty of room to spread out. The only thing keeping Gramophone from 5 stars is the lack of food options. Hope they're able to add some simple staples like burgers and fries or salads. Convenient location right on the corner of Forest Hill and Westover Hills Blvd. I'll definitely come back for karaoke and wine!

Like too many restaurants in the Scott's Addition area, this is seafood cooked without finesse and then absolutely brutalized with absurd amounts of palate fatiguing, brash, loud flavors. Every item on the menu endeavors to conceal mediocrity in the quality and handling of the ingredients with explosive, overwhelming additives meant to shock you into submission. Things like black garlic and chili oil, raw garlic, sesame seed oil, and punishing heat are inescapable on the menu, which really says to me loud and clear "we do not understand the appeal of seafood, and might have a fundamental misunderstanding about good food in general." I don't exaggerate when I say these dishes would be improved (setting aside things like inability to properly cook octopus) by scaling back the flavors to 5-10% the loudness level they are currently at, to let the ingredients speak, and to make the dining experience less of a punishing marathon with no relief. I have had much subtler and more skillfully balanced dishes at Indian and Thai restaurants, cuisines known for strong flavor profiles. I'm through listening to these Richmond restaurants trying to excuse simply bad food by claiming "that's the nature of the cuisine." In this case, Lillian claims that dishes characterized by these cacophonous competing flavors is "South American." No it isn't - the person conceptualizing the dishes is just a bad chef who doesn't know what he's doing, and at the prices Lillian charges, that's inexcusable. Drowning every dish in flavors that overwhelm the palate is not a way to respect your ingredients or your diner, and only communicates youth and insecurity. Anyone who's eaten widely and knows their ingredients will rightly feel assaulted and insulted by this overpriced, unskilled fare. To anyone who decides to go anyway: Good luck with the digestive distress, and with the taste that will still be left over in your mouth the next morning, no matter how much you brush your teeth.
