Excellent all around! This is one of, if not the best, restaurant in Jax! I can't really think of a local, fine dining restaurant that is better. It is FINE DINING though so please keep that in mind. Our server Kay was great! She was knowledgeable, attentive but not too much. The bread service is a bit slow as others mentioned but it's because they bake it fresh. I'd rather wait for fresh bread to come out of the oven that bread that's been kept under warmers. The décor has an older feel but in a good way. Its classic and charming! Reminds me of old family-owned restaurants in Europe. Our food was delicious from beginning to end! I do wish they had more options for wine by the glass. I'm a white wine drinker and there aren't as many options as I'd like but I still was very happy. Fresh flowers at the table were a nice touch that not many establishments do anymore. As was placing the napkins in our lap! My husband got a classic cocktail and was pleasantly surprised at how strong it was. He didn't think for a wine restaurant it would be good lol. Dinner for us both was about $200. Our dessert was free since it was my birthday and we did get a bottle of wine. The menu is very reasonably priced for the quality. Definitely recommend!

The food here is top notch, everything tasted great and the portions were well sized for how rich the food was. It was so uncomfortablely hot during our dinner though! We were dressed very lightly and I still came out of this restaurant with sweat marks on my back. Other patrons were fanning themselves with menus. Our poor waiter was absolutely dripping in sweat too. They need to turn up the AC! For a place called the Wine Cellar, their wine selection seemed a little slim too, especially for white wines. Also, most of the options you can only buy by the bottle, the by the glass selection is smaller.

Driving by the wine cellar, you would never know this was a fine dining restaurant. Like most of the neighborhood businesses, regulars seem to keep this restaurant in business. Although not as well known, the quality of the food here parallels the nicest establishments in Jacksonville. Every time I have visited (usually as a date night or after event dinner with a group of friends), I am always very impressed by the service, food quality, and general atmosphere. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to venture outside of the traditional fine dining restaurants for their anniversary or valentines dinners, or a special night out with friends or date.

Gorgeous elevated dining platform area that overlooks garden with massive oak tree. Felt like fine dining in nature.

Wanted to have a good dinner before the show and we decided on this place and was not disappointed! First of all the decor is wonderful and relaxing and our waiter Gary was spot on! My friend chose the trio and I had the New York strip and they were both outstanding and abundant! We enjoyed our dinner and drinks and went to the show completely satisfied. Please give them a chance and you won’t be disappointed enjoy

Went to this restaurant with family food presentation was OK and the food was very bland don't think I well every revist the Wine Cellar in Jacksonville again. Much better food available in the Jacksonville.
We never miss an opportunity to dine here when we’re in the area. Excellent food, service, and a lovely, intimate atmosphere. Had lunch one day and went back for dinner the next night! The menu features lots of gluten free options and the kitchen is more than willing to make adjustments to accommodate food allergies.

The food was amazing. The atmosphere is very nice. The servers are very friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. I had the chicken picatta very delicious. Chicken nice and juicy with very good flavor. Wife got the lambchops those were delicious thought theyd be weird with the mint pesto but it's a very subtle hint of mint that added to its flavor.
