They rushed us out of there before we finished our wine. Food was very underwhelming.

The food was exceptional. Every dish was better than the last, and having ordered everything at once, the items were delivered in perfect order to escalate the experience as the night went on. The Chef's Counter experience was interesting and even entertaining. Very, very impressive! (I am from a restaurant background and have seen it all).

Decided to give this place another try for my birthday yesterday after a miscommunication on their end a few years led to us arriving for my birthday dinner only to find they were closed for a private event.
Food and wine were good, but once we ordered our food our server essentially forgot about us. We regularly had to flag someone down for wine and water refills. After we had been sitting for a while with empty plates and glasses, it was clear another reservation for our table had arrived but we hadn’t been offered dessert or drinks yet. Once we flagged someone down so we could order dessert, we suddenly existed to the staff as we were regularly checked in on to the point of us feeling rushed. I would’ve felt bad if their dinner was delayed because we had overstayed our welcome, but had our server remembered our table and offered us dessert or drink refills in a timely manner, we would’ve completed our experience in time for the next group.
Despite the menu being framed as family style, the portions are quite small and not presented in a way that makes the food easily shareable along a group of three. They also have pretty minimal non-alcoholic options- no soda or coffee which is odd for a trendy restaurant in 2025.
If you are looking to celebrate a birthday here, they do not offer anything fun in the way of candles on your dessert or even a “happy birthday!” when it’s mentioned to your server.
Pre-pandemic, we loved this place but as the years have gone by we’ve become increasingly disappointed with the service, communication, and attention to detail. A bummer as it’s a place with great potential.

Overall a really great place. We took the servers recommendation to try everything on the menu which was fun as the menu changes nearly daily so being able to try whatever is fresh made sense. I really wish they had been a little more deliberate with a miss was the tomato appetizer was truly a plate of tomatoes with (very good) olive oil - which was kinda disappointing.
The peach and watermelon salad though, was absolutely incredible. They also have a fantastic wine list and even some cocktails, excited to go back and try a new days menu!

We came here on a whim for a celebratory dinner. Our server was the most helpful! We had the loveliest meal with late summer ingredients and really interesting wines. When we got our panna cotta, I couldn’t believe how much flavor came from this simple and unassuming dessert. A new favorite restaurant!

Do not come here. My dad said it was the worst restaurant experience of his life. If you are going to this restaurant do not come hungry. Everything was raw, the tastes are off-putting, the portions are tiny, and the vibe is one of weirdness. And EXTREMELY overpriced. $10 for bread, $26 for three strings of plain pasta with butter. At least we got a laugh out of it

Dinner was lovely at Cellar Door Provisions. Their preparation style highlights the texture and flavors of each main ingredient. Our favorites were the olives brined in house, and the burger. Service was outstanding. I never enjoy when you sit at a chef's counter and the kitchen team pretends they can't see you. That's awkward. This was very different. The chefs asked us questions about ourselves, and chatted with us. They made us feel incredibly welcome.

This restaurant needs to seriously examine the practice of cooking their meat appropriately. My wife’s burger was completely raw in the middle while my medium rare steak was served rare and cool to the touch. The burger was sent back and the issue was not addressed for over 30 minutes. Several reviews point to meat being undercooked and one mentions a recent case of salmonella. Also, two glasses from a $30 bottle of sparking non-alcoholic wine here are $32, an exorbitant premium. Hipster arrogance. Change needed.

A beautiful space with lovely staff. However the food was disappointingly average. We had pickled carrots and radish, a steak, gnocchi, and asparagus. The steak was beautifully cooked but too small a portion and deeply bland. The gnocchi was tasty but had this awful filmy thing on top which added nothing besides a bizarre texture. The asparagus was fine. Unfortunately average food that still left me hungry.
Many of the most beautiful meals of my life have been at Cellar Door. Their food, the atmosphere at the restaurant, and the care put into the menu and wine selection create a magical dining experience. We ate there this week for a special occasion and loved the steak, radishes, asparagus, and a lovely tortellini with subtle herb flavors. The bread and house-made pickles are a must-order. Perfect spot for a special occasion, dinner with friends, or meal with a book at the bar.

Exceptionally well thought out, well executed dishes. Great chill vibe. I can't wait to come back.

The food was very tasty. The vinegar and olive oil ice cream was so good!

An absolutely brilliant restaurant. What they are doing is both extremely creative and executed with precision. The thematic use of fermentation and the in-house larder brings so many dishes together in surprising and memorable ways. A perfect neighborhood restaurant.

This was the best meal I have ever had. Period.
