- CFChris FlorNov 14, 20255.0Cellar hand is now my favorite restaurant in San Diego. The best happy hour into dinner! Delicious half price wines by the glass, amazingly flavorful dips and homemade pita. Follow happy hour with creative and such delicious bigger plates. Absolutely a perfect place for a night out

- YDYinlin DaiOct 23, 20255.0Normally I like to go out for Asian food but this place is really good. The portion isn’t big but the ambiance and everything else combined is enjoyable.
- MKMishel KaufmanOct 19, 20255.0Amazing food and wine, and quaint modern rustic atmosphere. Every dish was a flavor bomb! Crispy eggplant had a perfect deep fry crisp, the labneh is smooth, creamy tangy yogurt with sweet carmelized onions and crispy shallots and the homemade pita was wow! Ribeye came out slices and perfectly cooked, duck confit delish, but the star of the night was a brisket and polenta pasta. Wasn’t what we expected, and we’re amazing little pillows of perfection! California wines were perfect compliments. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.
