On the bayou with a gorgeous city view. Vince Greer was playing jazz on the saxophone. Outstanding vibe and even better music. Go Vince Greer.
Our server Tina was AMAZING!! She had such excellent customer service and took care of us for our anniversary. She is stellar!!
City Cellars is an absolute gem. It delivers the upscale, sophisticated vibe you’d expect in The Heights or the Galleria, but pairs it with an exponentially better view.

City Cellars is a stylish and inviting restaurant located in The Heights or the Galleria area, offering an upscale, sophisticated vibe paired with a stunning view of the bayou and city skyline. The outdoor patio is particularly notable, with powerful misters that make it comfortable even during summer, making it an ideal spot for casual drinks, date nights, or entertaining business clients. The atmosphere is complemented by excellent hospitality from staff and owner, who genuinely cares about guests’ experience.
The culinary offerings are of high quality, with food that is flavorful and well-prepared. The menu includes dishes like chicken and waffles, which are flavorful, and build-your-own breakfast options such as French toast with Bananas Foster topping, egg whites, chicken sausage, and crispy potatoes. While most dishes are praised for their freshness and taste, some reviews mention minor issues like the citrus overpowering braised short ribs or a less than perfect balance in certain flavors. Still, the overall food quality remains impressive.
The beverage program is top-tier, featuring highly skilled mixologists who craft cocktails that are considered masterpieces. The grapefruit mimosas are especially enjoyed, and happy hour specials are unbeatable. Service is generally attentive and friendly, with highlights like attentive waitstaff and accommodating staff, though some reviews note occasional miscommunications or delays.
City Cellars also features a unique speakeasy with a focus on mental health awareness and community giving back, adding a distinctive touch to the experience. Overall, it is a versatile, high-quality spot that stands out for its view, food, drinks, and welcoming atmosphere.
