DELISH! Yes, their wine program is 10/10 but also their food is so good. I love that they have variety but none of the menus are overwhelming. we absolutely loved the summer succotash - perfectly spiced and so veggie forward - and the cavatelli - the pickled mushrooms were a unique and perfect touch. The outdoor patio is a great summer hang, and our server/ bartender Josh was so friendly! Check out their Apertivo/ happy hour. read more

Unfortunately, the restaurant does not offer take-out, which means they're losing out on a segment of people who do not wish to dine-in. Our server came over immediately and gave a long spiel about the history of the restaurant and where the ingredients come from, including the special massages the chickens get before being slaughtered and the daily hand-made dishes they eat (if the farmer eats it, then it's good for the chickens). It was off-putting and excessive to say the least. Upon looking at the menu the first time, I was shocked at the exorbitant prices and limited options. $45 for chicken? We ordered the tahina appetizer which amounted to two tablespoons thinned with what looked like oil. $15 for two tablespoons of dip and a small, thin piece of pita. The main courses were three pasta dishes and five other dishes, including a $26 burger, so a very limited amount of options. We skipped to dessert and ordered the strawberry tiramisu to take home. When I opened the box, the two tiny biscottis next to tiny containers of cream and strawberry jam were diabolical. I had to whip out the tape measurer, and lo and behold the biscottis are about 4 in long and 1 in wide; very tiny. On the plus side, the jam was fantastic. Overall, with the fierce restaurant competition in San Diego, this place doesn't particularly appeal to me, especially the prices and limited options. Understandably, their ingredients are going to cost more, but so do a lot of other places and their pricing is not like this. I'd recommend reconsidering their pricing, adding some more options to entice more people, and increasing the portion sizes. read more

A lovely experience all around, from service to food and matching ambiance in the heart of Hillcrest. My girlfriends and I went after a full beach day and we truly enjoyed ourselves. To start the night, my gfs split a bottle of Vihno Verde while I enjoyed the n/a Spritz. Now for the menu: The babaganoush was a delight, with a tasty and perfectly seasoned pita. A perfect mix of creamy and light flavors, with delicious chunks of grilled eggplant as a topper and fresh mustard seed. The crudo was light and refreshing, with blood oranges paired with a black garlic really balancing the dish. I took a spoon to finish the juice because it was that tasty. The cavateli was my personal favorite. Perfectly balanced with a delectable sauce and quaint & delightful mushrooms to complement the dish. I wish the portion of this dish was slightly larger but we did have 3 people splitting it. For dessert we ordered the basque cheesecake with a blueberry compote and the seasonal pavlova. The server called it a custard, but we agreed the one fell short and had too much whipped cream in between the seasonal peaches and the actual pavlova. The basque cheesecake was perfectly "burnt" and we really enjoyed the blueberry compote though we wished we had a bit more of that as well. Overall, I highly recommend for a date night or GNO. Will definitely be back for the next seasonal menu change, which also gets this place 5-stars :) read more

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back!! We got two dippers (Tahina and lBaba Ghanouj) to share and they were both AMAZING!!! And I absolutely love the concept of using hyper local food at a restaurant... so much better than a big chain that's getting the same generic food from national suppliers. We also got the strawberry dessert. That wasn't my favorite... the lady fingers were a little dry and the sauce was a little too sweet, but the presentation was beautiful. Next time I'll try the one that's more like peaches n'cream. Also the staff was FABULOUS. We can't wait to go back! read more

Super cute space with both indoor and outdoor seating, great service, and solid wine selection in addition to some tasty bites! The tallow fries are incredible. Those and the crudo were our favorite.

This restaurant is on a unique class of its own. They have delicious menu items, and a huge array of wines. I did not know they were owned by palli wines which no wonder their food was so great. I tried the burger, it was juicy on a broch bun. Even tried their 6.7 hazy ipa during their happy hour. The service is commendable. Experienced well rounded waiters and waitresses. The ambience is very unique, with an inside and outside setting. Comfortable and welcoming. read more

Came to try this place with the wife The Focaccia was so delicious. They also have some Happy hour specials. We tried the Wild Boar entree honestly I have to say I felt like it was a chicken fried steak pork chop. The sauce that pared with it was good. The highlight was the Focaccia, also had smoked sausage.For dessert we had a chocolate mousse with cherries and hazelnuts was so flavorful. Our server Vanesa was helpful and attentive made our first experience a positive one. Great vibe parking lot is very tight so come early. read more

Had dinner with wifey, my bro and his wifey at Cellar Hand. I very much enjoyed their decor and their service. They were very attentive to our needs and everyone was very friendly. We got 2 dips to start us off along with focaccia bread. The dips were the chickpea and the baba ganoush. Both dips were delicious paired with both the focaccia bread and the pita bread. I had to slow down because I didn't want to get too full. The mains then came out and I chose the hamburger and my wife got the Cavatelli. I enjoyed the few bites of the Cavatelli. As far as the hamburger, it was very small and the flavor was just okay. I liked their fries and the aioli that came with the dish. I capped off the dinner with their cheesecake with blueberry sauce. The cheesecake was light and fluffy which I really liked and it had a very pleasant flavor. We had a great time breaking bread with family. read more

I love this place! And I've been here before because I live in the neighborhood. The food is always great here and the baba ghanoush is my favorite dip here and they age the pita bread for 24 hours and it is delicious! It's like no other pita bread you've ever tasted! I love their wines because it's Pali wines and they make all their wines. The cheesecake was delicious and the ambience here is beautiful. They really turned this place out when they redid it a few years ago. The service is excellent, and since I came in by myself, I sat at the bar and Steven the bartender is very nice and personable and answered all my questions. Warren is the manager, also very nice and personable... Everyone is so friendly here and the service is excellent. I highly recommend this place. You should check it out and they also do a great Sunday brunch complete with a little live music! read more

So many amazing things to say about cellar hand! First off, the location is a bit odd and parking can be a little tricky so you might need to do street parking but it's well worth it! Once you're there it doesn't feel like it's off university near a parking lot. They put the music just loud enough to enjoy but not too loud where you can't hear each other and skillfully put decor to make you feel like you're in a new place. The service from everyone (host, server, bartender, chef) all INCREDIBLE. You can truly see that they are in the job they want to be in. Now for the food!!! We started with the baba ganoush and the Sicilian crudo and split the burger with tallow fried as a meal. Everything was to die for but ESPECIALLY the burger. It was highly recommended by our waitress and I'll be the first to say I'm not huge on burger and fries- this is WORTH it! The flavor was perfect! read more

Ambience (indoor-outdoor space) was lovely; service matched the aesthetics. The food looked nice enough, but the taste/value was just not there. Shakshuka was verrrry salty (in particular, the tomato-based sauce; the toast underpinning the folded eggs was hard/dry and had a chemically-taste (perhaps from the grilling surface that it was toasted on?). Portion sizes of certain items (the sides of bacon in particular) were comically tiny. You can see the bacon in the background of one of my photos. It was effectively 1 thin piece cut in half... for $7. The quiche was less than a half inch in height and quite diminutive in size - for over $20. Maybe we caught them on a bad day; the brunch menu apparently just changed recently (the majority of the items we were interested from the online menu are not on the new menu, fyi). But today, we were underwhelmed. read more

Located on the corner of University and Normal Street in a small strip of shops, Cellar Hand is such a hidden gem. I can't believe I've always missed it. We first heard about this spot through our wine club since this is their sister restaurant, and we were excited to finally check it out. We brought a bottle of wine to sip and came in for happy hour. They use a farm‑to‑table approach with seasonal ingredients, so the menu changes -- which I love. They also offer fun options like bar dinners during the week, happy hour, and tasting menus for seasonal holidays. For drinks, you'll find a large wine selection, some beer, and wine‑based cocktails. We ordered a few apps, and each one was fresh and lovely. This is the perfect place for light bites and shareable plates. I'd love to come back for their three‑course bar dinners on Wednesdays and Thursdays. A cozy, thoughtful spot worth adding to your rotation. read more

Back again after a year. Greeted warmly and sat inside. Started with a chilled red that sounded refreshing. Light, balanced and perfect for what we ordered. Started with oysters, baba ganouj and the Sicilian crudo which was salmon that night. Main we shared the ribeye with tallow fries. The oysters had a mignonette and a small eyedropper bottle of something with a tiny bit of heat. That drop made the flavor of the oysters pop. Added brightness. Genius. The baba ganouj came with their fresh pita and was creamy with tiny cubes of eggplant and tiny nasturtium leaves. Great textures and flavor. The crudo was beautifully presented and fresh and bright. The ribeye was done perfectly medium rare as we ordered and delicious. Those tallow fries were amazing. Full but somehow we ordered dessert. Had the basque cheesecake. Came with a fruit puree. Just the right sweetness from the puree. Crystal, our server was warm, attentive, and cheerful. We loved her. Great meal. Great evening. read more

This place was great, from the food to the service. We came to try their bar dinner for $50 and chose to upgrade with the wine pairings for an additional $10. They have a good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating. The bar dinner is only done outside or inside around their bar. Throughout the whole night we were checked on multiple times, never felt rushed and overall had a wonderful time. From the bar dinner menu we were surprised that we could choose from a list of 3-4 options for each course. Our group was able to order different ones and try a bit of everything. Portions were very generous, especially for the price! I got the house labneh, charred green beans and crispy pork schnitzel. The labneh was delish! Not too tangy and the sweetness from the onions was nice. The pita they served it with was of the thinner, lighter variety but still very tasty and fresh. The green beans could have been charred a bit more for my taste but still yummy and had a savory sauce on the bottom that I liked. The pork schnitzel was a great size. Didn't come with any sides but didn't need any since I was so full at that point. Because we were celebrating a birthday they also gave us a free dessert! We tried their tiramisu (with guava instead of coffee) and their deconstructed Dubai chocolate options. Both solid. While we didn't love any of the wine options in particular, we were happy to get to try a variety of different kinds, some that we had not heard before. It was helpful that they come with little descriptions for each as well. read more

Came here with girlfriends for brunch. I wouldn't recommend coming during the Sunday nearby Hillcrest farmers market since the parking lot was FULL and while I got lucky with parking in the lot, my friends had to park farther away near the post office. Our server was attentive and great with suggestions. They only had 2 tea options which seemed surprising but it arrived in a French press and made 2-3 cups. Our group shares the chocolate toast and it was delicious! I got the farmers salad and added a fried egg on the side (protein gains!) and it was filling. The setting was relaxing and really pretty with decor. read more

Ambience was fun and lively, service was very attentive and kind, but the food didn't do it for me. The sangria was mostly ice and very watered down, not much flavor. The fried eggplant was delicious and I'd order that again if I were to go back. The local catch was very fishy and not cooked properly, the inside was not fully cooked. Overall the dish lacked seasoning and the greens were already yellowing and tough to chew, dry. read more

So happy I stumbled upon cellar hand. Went on a Sunday evening & got seats immediately. Johnny, our waiter, was so lovely & broke down the menu and how they source all of their food & produce from local farms, so their menu is seasonal. Our food came within MINUTES of ordering, fresh & beautifully prepared! 1) the bluefin tuna crudo was so delicious! You could taste the freshness of the tuna, and there were these delightful ice plants in it that were magical--have never had anything like that before! 2) the fried artichokes were good & really crispy, but probably wouldn't get again as all of their other items are so good in a more unique way. 3) the house fermented pitas were delicious-- we loved both the whipped baba ganouj & the whipped tahini. If you like a strong flavor profile, I would choose the whipped tahini--it was so creamy & unique with the black garlic and urfa. The 21 rose of Pinot noir by pali wine was also so good - highly recommend! Such a cute, relaxing spot. They have a large patio as well. Can't wait to try more items! Definitely come and support this special spot in Hillcrest!!! read more

Cellar Hand Restaurant is located in a quiet mini-mall collection of shops and businesses, and is located near the busy intersection of University Avenue and Normal Street. There is a smallish parking lot vailble to visits. As I recall, there are two designated handicapped parking spaces available within the lot. I understand the building that houses Cellar Hand Restaurant used to be a restaurnt known as the Gossip Grill. The hostesses are the first staff members you meet when you arrive , and they are posted outside in front of the restaurant. There is large bar up front. As to dining, you have several areas from which to choose. Specifically, there is a small dining room to the left as you enter the restaurant. Thereafter, a patio extends back, where many people like to sit. There is also a rear dining room, which is comfortable. Special mention for waiter, Johnny. read more

FARM-TO-TABLE CONCEPT (3.9 stars) - FOOD: good - PRICE: ok - SERVICE: attentive - AMBIANCE: small (indoor but mostly outdoor seating) Sat outside under the evening sky next to a heater lamp! For a new restaurant, the website should keep up to date with the most current menu. I've notice slight differences when comparing menu online vs menu in hand. Our order came out rolling as they became prepped and available and once the main dish came I wish it was served with some of the earlier dishes we had to treat it as a "side" instead of an appetizer. GHIA ($7) - reisling juice, yuzu, orange peel, ginger, lemon balm, fig, and elderflower. Their take on a spritz. No picture of it but it was served in a tall glass and it was reddish. Overall taste was ok, I'd probably be fine with water. SMOKED BLUEFIN TUNA DIP ($18) - served with house garleek chips. This dish was a perfect starter. The garleek chips were a bit salty but the dip balanced it out. The dip itself had more "dip" than any chucks of bluefin tuna and the fact that it's smoked, the flavor shines thru without having the volume of the bluefin tuna. You will more than likely finish the chips before the dip; extra chips was changed as extra pita for $5 - I thought it would be free. Overall bite was yum. HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHARRED CAUILINI ($17) - za'atar labneh, fennel frond pistou, oro blanco grapefruit, dukkah. Honestly, first glance the portion to price did not match. I have no idea of the ingredients except cauilini and grapefruit. The sauce had a little bit of heat and the grapefruits were a nice touch. Overall bite was tasty. RECOMMEND THOMPSON HERITAGE CHICKEN LIVER MOUSSE ($16) - orange wine 'jello shots', pomelo, sesame bread. I am not a liver bot mousse nor liver mousse person - just not my flavor but it was ordered and I said I'll try it. Inquiring taste! It was beautiful to look at and the taste wasn't that bad - in moderation. The mouse was fine, the liver flavor was subtle but after taste it was present, the Jello shots have this a sweet flavor - when speeded in a slice of toasted bread it was fine to eat. Overall bite was ok. CRISPY SKIN ROCKFISH ($36) - garlic toum, fennel confit, pole beans, grapefruit. One of their popular ordered main dish. The fish was butterflied and cooked with the face starring at you. Lots of ingredients to make the fish fillet pop - the description forgot to mention citrus olive oil decorating the plate. "Crispy" is an overstatement - I got average, moisturized, bot dry but also not crispy. Overall bite was standard tasting. I felt like although the plate had a ton of things on it, I wish there was a small side or bread to go with it. RECOMMEND THOMPSON HERITAGE BERKSHIRE PORK CHOP ($48) - warren pear, cider, pomegranate, sage, smoked almond. Another popular main dish! This pork chop was tender, juicy, and fatty. I loved the additional ingredients it was cooked it for flavoring and the smoked almonds added a crunching element. I wish there was a side or a small serving of something or a piece of bread - just something! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Such a cute little restaurant in Hillcrest. When I pass it often there isn't much people coming thru as I expected. Until the next review... read more

I was super stoked to try a brand new restaurant. I had not been to yet and even more excited at the fact that they had ribeye on the menu, unfortunately, I cannot recommend the ribeye entrée. The baba ghanoush we ordered before was probably the best part of the meal. The steak came garnished with ricotta cheese, which was not very good, however, the golden beats were fantastic and the beat purée was really good. Overall, the steak was very chewy which to me did not match the $60 price tag. I would highly recommend to the chef to get a much higher quality cut of meat in the future. Stephen's service was fantastic, very attentive and astute. read more

Such a good find! Came on a Friday night and same day reservations were easy, though we opted to sit at their indoor bar. Not crowded and it felt very chill and relaxed for a weekend night. Both food and drinks were great - many of the dishes seem very seasonal. Everything was super tasty but if I had to rank what we ate it would be: 1. Crab Chitarra - I wish this was always on the menu. Flavors and texture were perfect to me 2. Wagyu beef tartare 3. Harissa shrimp 4. Baba ganoush 5. Duck confit (not pictured) - probably the only dish i wouldn't order again. It was still tasty but did not stand out as much flavor wise read more

I'm not going to lie. If it weren't for San Diego Magazine, I probably would have never heard of Cellar Hand. Be that as it may, I did make a reservation shortly after learning of it and took my "gay" wife and best friend, Shyla - she's not, I am - there to find out for myself. The location itself has something a history, being the original site of Gossip Grill, the home of the 'two-finger' pour, so I was anxious to see how it looked, too. The place was for some time a hard place to anchor a tenant. So that we have a San Diego Magazine-endorsed restaurant holding its own is all the more noteworthy. After we sat down, our server approached and gave us a nice, short presentation of the kitchen philosophy guiding the chefs. Locally-sourced. Organic. Vitamin B-12-adjacent. All those trendy buzzwords being batted around these days. And no matter how much she denies it, I still stay our server has shades-o-Zooey Deschanel. And she struck the right balance between friendly and professional and overstaying their welcome. She was, is, and will continue to be an outstanding addition to the place. My bestie and I shared three plates, a baba ganoush-styled appetizer, a vegetable and greens salad, and then I went on to order the Crispy Skin Rockfish with Garlic toum, Fennel confit, Pole beans, and Grapefruit. And honestly, if I were Pope, I would inspire Catholics the world over to eat this on Lent then clasps hands, get on our knees and thank little Black baby Jesus for Cellar Hands. This is to say nothing of some of the most amazing bread of I've ever been served; these beautifully-textured, wafer-like sheets of pita-ish bread, topped with seeds and herbs. Holy Fuckmonth was that was good. But, If I were to change one, itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny thing...we we're sat by the front door. And I know you need to put tables there, given the space's layout, and need to maximize revenue, but it could have used some warmth, frankly. A little more lighting. Perhaps a faux wall to give the diners a sense of privacy. No matter how good the food was or is, it can't be displaced by the comings and goings and weather of the front door. But then again, if I had to sit by a door I couldn't think of a better place to do it in. So, in conclusion, and in the words of that towering figure of American History - The Terminator - I'll be back. read more

Came here on a slow Tuesday night and place doesn't look like much from the outside and there is some decent parking considering the area as it's tucked away. Menu changes pretty regularly from what I've gathered. Hard to find pictures of entrees on yelp for that reason. Ordered the smoked tuna app with some house made chips. A little salty but went will with the smokiness flavor of the dip. Went with the rib eye which had a tomato butter which was great, but my steak did taste a little old and may have been sitting in the fridge too long. Squid ink pasta I would say was the best part of the meal. Portions are just the right size here. Overall I would like to try some of the other season eats like rabbit or duck, but they don't seem to update their website so it's kind of the luck of the draw on what your going to get here. Service I would say is above average, but in the 1.5 hours we were there only two other tables were sat. Overall a great spot to eat, and I would likely come back here again. read more

Finally tried this restaurant. I have been wanting to come here since they opened. I love nice wine bars/restaurants. We met friend there and we sat outside and though it was cool, they have heat lamps so it was very comfortable. Our server was nice and attentive.

Below is what we ordered: Olives House labneh Tartare Yellowfin Pork chop Burgers Everything was pretty good. The pork cop was a little fatty but flavorful. Everyone liked their burgers. My yellowfin was yummy and they make their own "ritz" crackers. The tartare was good and so was the labneh. Overall, everything was good. My wine was very yummy as well. We will be back! read more

Cellar's Hand has officially become my new favorite brunch spot and honestly, I can't believe it took me this long to stop in. I've passed by this place so many times without realizing what I was missing. After finally giving it a try, I loved it so much that I came back the very next day for brunch after having dinner the night before. That should tell you everything.Brunch here is beautiful. Every dish that came out looked like a gorgeous palette thoughtfully plated and almost too pretty to eat (almost). Everything tasted just as amazing as it looked.The restaurant itself is cute, comfortable, and such a great place to sit, relax, and catch up with friends. It has that perfect balance of cozy and stylish without feeling over the top. They also have a great wine selection along with small dishes that pair really well with the wines they offer, which makes the experience feel a little elevated but still approachable. A huge shoutout to Katy, our server both days. She was fantastic. Katy had incredible knowledge of the wine list and helped recommend dishes that paired perfectly. Every suggestion she made was delicious. She checked on us regularly and gave truly superior service. Places like this are such a great surprise when you finally discover them and Cellar's Hand definitely delivered. I'll absolutely be back! read more

This place is cute. Service is very friendly. I really like food. I got the breakfast plate. My wife got the falafel wrap. We both really enjoyed our plates. I was super disappointed in the drinks. We ordered orange and grapefruit mimosas but they were so sour. We really tried to like them but didn't. We asked for the espresso martinis instead. I was disappointed that these were served in tiny plastic cups with no powder or espresso beans on top. They looked really sad. Tasted even sadder. Drinks were just not good.

Had such a nice dinner here! We were able to walk in with 2 people on a Saturday evening. I was a little tentative when I saw the small plates of veggies, crudos, and conservas, but turns out there was nothing to worry about! Moving from NYC, so many of those plates are such a rip off and aren't great - not the case here. The yellowtail conserva was amazing, and the homemade warm crackers really made it next level. The caulini was yummy, and the chicken liver mousse was standout - loved the little orange wine jello cubes. Our server was really nice and attentive, and their wine list is also fun and interesting.
