French dip
Bella S.

Lovely little hidden gem off Telegraph. You'll definitely want a reservation because this place is tiny and always packed. The ambiance is beautiful and cozy. You'd think the patio might feel lacking of that since it's essentially in the middle of a parking lot, but it doesn't at all. It's fenced in and surprisingly charming. Going for drinks and a few apps is my favorite move (the goat cheese especially is a must). Great wines and cocktails. The food overall is decent, but the portion sizes are just right. The owner decorates the space so adorably and magically for the holidays, so be sure to visit then for the full festive experience. Petition to remove that TMobile next door and turn it into a cute little ice cream shop to create the perfect night. Wouldn't that be great!?

Steak and frites

Every single dish we ordered was clearly thoughtful created. From the Crispy Brussels Sprouts- the soft polenta and brown butter sauce offset the crisp greens so well! To the aromatic farro that is the base for the grilled salmon. Every dish was simple, and yet the flavors were so robust. Try the That One Whiskey Drink - a great pairing.

Dessert!

So much fun! We did a 5 course dinner for NYE with friends (there were 15 of us!) the food and wine were amazing! Such a great time, an intimate setting as the Cellar House is not huge, highly recommend everyone try them out!!! I totally forgot to take a pic of the main course, so good I dug right in...

Power bowl
Nicole L.

Wow! This is a hidden gem, but not hidden because it was a full house. This little ruby sits just in front of a Dierbergs and shopping plaza - not where I'd expect to find such fine dining. We made 7pm reservations the day before, and good thing we did. I'm not sure if walk-ins welcome or not. They did have a bar, so maybe one could stroll in and sit at the bar. My friend had been here before (multiple times) and ordered the apps for us as they were her staples. We also had ordered our dinners and let the waiter know we didn't need them right away; however, the kitchen was working quickly or just on top of everything, and the meals came out before we'd finished our apps. I loved my power bowl, and would definitely return for it soon. It's a meal I think about randomly to be honest. My friend said her salmon was more rare than she personally prefers but I think that's more a matter of preference than a knock on the kitchen. The space is tight, small, but yet you're still able to have private conversations at a reasonable volume. It's surprising that such a small place doesn't get loud. The service is great and it's a place I would highly recommend as well as revisit.

Risotto

Smaller venue in south county/oakville. Went with a large party. The menu is small with limited options but we ordered many options on the menu. Staff was good with allergies amongst the party. Were not friendly per se but neither unfriendly. Just very business like. Food was decent. They had some specials. Beer & sliders with fries for $18. Good price point but they had 1-2 menus with that info for 20+ people.

Tomato salad

Our waitress was amazing and had impressively done eye makeup :) I wish I remembered her name. I went with two of my best friends for dinner last night (Saturday). We had a reservation for the patio since the weather was so nice. I had the Miss Ma'am (or some similar name) cocktail, then Sauvignon blanc, then Pinot Grigio. All were great. We split the brussel sprouts (done perfectly!) and the tomato salad. I got the chicken flatbread, and they got the gnocchi, one with chicken and one with tuna. We luckily saved room for dessert: we got two bread puddings and a blueberry streusel. We all enjoyed every dish! I think it's cool they do events (I saw on Sep 23rd they're doing 4 courses of wine with food pairings for $100 pp) which is enticing. The patio was a nice setting and all in all it made for a very enjoyable ladies night!

Latkes

My last review was for their former location, so it's about time I updated it! Cellar House is a fancy casual restaurant. You can walk in wearing leggings or jeans, and still expect a fine dining experience. No matter what, you're treated like a member of their family that's been expected for dinner. You wouldn't normally expect Oakville to have apps like Baked Goat Cheese, Butternut Squash Soup & Latkes. But MAAAAAN are they doing it right! Their entrees are also pretty spectacular: Turkey Pot Pie, Braised Lamb Shank, 10oz Ribeye & French Dip Sandwich My partner and I shared the soup and we mentioned this in passing to our server when ordering. They delivered the soup in 2 different bowls. Absolutely unexpected but so much appreciated. It's the little touches like this that make us want to tell everyone about them. Save room for dessert: it was a toss up between the Balsamic Blackberry Pie or Brioche Bread Pudding with egg nog custard, tart cherries, white chocolate & salted caramel. The menu changes seasonally, so you may not see some of these dishes anymore, but rest assured, everything is going to be great!

Korean Sweet Potato Cake

The ONLY restaurant worth eating at in South County!! The restaurant has a nice patio with string lights and a dimly lit interior. Nice place for a date night or girls night! The service was also PHENOMENAL. We had Makenzie as a server and she was such a genuine person. Amazing service professionally but also such a kind and bubbly personality. And THE FOOD. Absolutely. Incredible. Each dish and dessert was filled with so many flavors that mixed perfectly together. The meals are truly a work of art. I was so excited for the actual meals that I forgot to take a picture of them first. 10/10 recommend everything about this place.

Do you want a good growth story, here it is! I ordered the lump crab cakes and found them to be pure crab with no fillers, accompanied by the salad featuring an olive citrus dressing and seared tuna. What a beautiful dish. This spot is a gem amongst the homogeneity of the suburbia chain obsession. Your reminder to shop and eat local. We like a good success story. November 2010, Bottle Cellars opened as a small wine shop committed to offering quality and affordable wines. Over time, it expanded its offerings to include cheese, whiskey, and craft beer. As demand grew, a cozy patio emerged, along with the introduction of wines by the glass and simple cheese and charcuterie boards. However, the desire for more from both customers and proprietors led to the birth of Cellar House in 2015--an adjacent wine bar. In 2020, time to grow again but now they have to move to their now home at 5634 Telegraph Road, just a mile from the original spot. Cellar House now offers dinner service, a spacious patio and a lengthy cocktail and wine list! Congrats!

I'm proud to have written the first Yelp review for Cellar House and please read my past comments as they're still relevant. I struggle to write new reviews but it just dawned on me as I was enjoying yet another great dining experience...if you want to find a restaurant that consistently delivers on service, great drinks, great food and price, then head to Cellar House.

Bread pudding
Robert B.

What a great place for a romantic date! My wife and I came here and split appetizers and had a couple of drinks. The Captain Henry and Charles Eu de Vie were a nice balance of flavors, and had custom engraved ice! The baked goat cheese is amazing and a must have! Great flavors and textures. I'm trying to figure out how to replicate it at home! The smoked cauliflower was nicely balanced and very tasty. The tempura shrimp were huge! There was a sweet side sauce with them that I wish was spicy, but still good. Our server was wonderful. He kept joking with us and made some great recommendations. The other staff were great as well and kept checking on us and refilling our water. The lighting is dim and romantic, and we can't wait to come back again soon!

1st course poached langoustine with grapefruit foam
Renee I.

We always love this place so when our friends said wine dinner, we said sure without really looking over the menu. As it turned out, it was good but not our favorite by any means. This dinner was 4 course with wine pairings from Stone Hill. We are not huge fans of many of the Missouri wines but as it turns out we loved the cream sherry we had in last pairing. Ordered 2 bottles of that for home. They also offered Blanc de Blancs (bubbles which I don't care for), Chambourcin and their Cross J Norton. Food was good but just not my favorite menu. That's my fault for agreeing to go without looking at options. I will say I am not usually a brisket lover but I did love the way it was made on this night. Overall I wish they gave a more substantial food earlier in evening because I was starving even after 2 courses and I was hesitant to drink anymore wine on an empty stomach. Service is always spot on and folks are friendly.

Went here for their 4-course Valentines Day dinner. What a treat. Right in the neighborhood. Jam packed.

Keep walking and you enter the bar area with other rooms off to the side. The staff are warm and welcoming. They greet you as you enter and direct you to seating. I sat at the bar and at one of the small seating areas and both were comfortable and cozy. The decor inside is what makes this place so charming! Antique furniture, couches, tables and cozy chairs at the bar! There is just a warm, comfortable and cozy vibe from the building, decor and the amazing staff! They have a several page long wine menu that includes glasses and wines by the bottle. If you love wine you will not be disappointed! But it doesn't end with wine...specialty cocktails, beers, and more. Look to the board to the left of the bar for other delightful specials. I tried the coconut hot toddy and it was yummy! Grafted also has a small menu with cheese and meat boards and the best part...'Potato Pancake Goes on a World Tour' menu! (Fri-Sun only) These are a must try! There is also a patio space that looks really nice! I'm looking forward to returning soon!

We arrived right on time for our reservation, stood for quite a few minutes in a half-empty house before being seated, then waited a very long time between visits from our apparently over-stretched waitstaff. The first cocktail I chose wasn't available; nor was the first entree. I settled on the "red wine flight", and it arrived in three glasses. The server recited their names, but I didn't catch them. Food was middle of the road. A smoked sirloin sandwich was tasty, though rather well-done. And the order of "salmon cakes", which the menu says is made of "smoked salmon, roast corn, tomato, cucumber, creme fraiche, and capers" was in fact just one cake (not cakes!), smaller than a hockey puck (about 1/2" thick max) and seemed to be made of canned fish, not the bright orange of smoked salmon. It was accompanied by five thin slices of cucumber and three or four halved grape tomatoes. No corn, no capers. It was so boring, and an overpriced disappointment at $23. If this Bridge is actually closing and focusing on the event space, they've gone out with a whimper. And if they're actually continuing service, I hope they get the food a little closer to the menu descriptions. Our drinks and water glasses were empty for long stretches. Our server was very pleasant and polite, but must've had way too much to do.

I am only posting this as a warning for anyone else that wants to book a party with them. I have been a supporter of The Barn since the day they opened. It was my first choice when I wanted a cocktail in town. I booked my 30th birthday party with Steve back in November. I've been chatting with him about my party every time I saw him in between that time. We messaged back and forth about the logistics and how I would get the whole upstairs room. He also didn't ask me to pay a deposit and promised that he would put me down on the calendar. Fast forward to yesterday, I went up there to start decorating at 3 pm. I started walking up the stairs and noticed that someone else's decorations were already set up for a 40th birthday party. I immediately was like, Steve that's not my party. He then says, "Oh, you're downstairs!" I immediately knew that he had no idea what was going on. I was extremely disappointed but I decided to make it work. He said he would shut the bar down at 6 for my party He helped me set up a table for our food and I told him I'd be bringing in a balloon arch with a backdrop around 6. My husband spent the whole day cooking food for our party and I spent the day making sure everything would be perfect. When we got there at 6, the whole parking lot was full. We had to park on the street and upon our arrival we saw that the entire bar downstairs was full of people and then I saw a girl wearing a sash that said "my 21st birthday." This was a completely different party from what was going on upstairs. He not only double booked us but he TRIPLE booked us. He came outside acting as if he had no idea what was going on. He said he thought this party was us. I'm like... how do you get that confused? You knew my party started at 6:30. He tried to have us move the party outside. I did not want to do that because we would have to go in and out for drinks. The woman that planned the 21st was so nice to me and even offered to combine our parties. She told me that he did the exact same thing to her, she thought she would get the upstairs as well. He also told her that she wouldn't need to pay anything at all to have her party there, but told me that I would have to pay a fee the day of. At that point, I didn't want to give them my business anymore. I was over it. Thank God we were able to move my party to Top Shooters and they were able to accommodate us. We obviously weren't able to bring any of the food that we made, but it was better than nothing. Steve at The Barn needs to hire someone else to plan parties if he is unable to plan and coordinate them himself. Unfortunately this experience was a learning lesson for me. Anytime I plan or book a party somewhere, I need to make sure there's a contract in place. I hope that everyone reads this learns from me and does not book with The Barn.
