    Small but very atmospheric. Love the laid back vibes and the attention from the wait staff. Menu items have a unique spin that will have you coming back for more.

    Honestly, I had given up on most restaurants in San Diego. I was underwhelmed at how uninspiring the flavors and smells coming out of these kitchens was. Then, I walked into Cellar Hand. I love this place. Such a wonderful experience. The service, the atmosphere.....the food! They have a crudo on the menu that was so good, I had to order it twice! If you have a desire for a great cocktail, delicious food, and a staff that really knows how to satisfy their patrons, make a reservation here.

    Had a fantastic experience here. Ordered the half chicken and Cavatelli pasta. Both were amazing! The chicken was tender and juicy and the Cavatelli was flavorful. The bartender Steven was attentive and took great care of us. Check it out!

    Food were decent. Honestly, some taste good, some was disappointing. Look at the spaghetti!? Not the best for the price

    We were a group of 5 and I would say the entire dinner experience was delightful. Our server was ready to explain things from the menu and she always got back to us if there was any doubt. We started ofcourse with the wines, spritzes etc. The Daiquiri was a wee sweet ...but great 👍 The highlight for me was the babaganoush....it was outstanding - especially it's garnish ...it was so well done!! The pastas and the chicken that followed were lip-smacking.....we asked for spicy sauce - on the side - and were readily served ! The desserts need special mention - the chocolate babka as well as the cheesecake were DIVINE...must try both...
