Editorial Review for The Wine Cellar – by Citysearch Staff
In Short
Ranging from the sweet (chocolate-Grand Marnier) to the savory (Emmental-Gruyere), the Wine Cellar's fondues are among the city's most indulgent. The exceptionally lengthy wine list is well-categorized and has won recognition from both the Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. A la carte menu items (escargots, rack of lamb) are available, but most patrons decamp to the subterranean restaurant's exposed-brick dining room to dip into rich, bubbling pools of chocolate and cheese.

After seeing other reviews for the Wine Cellar, I was a little weary of going and what I would encounter. However, after my dinner tonight I can definitely say that other people must have had rare encounters there. I will certainly be back again as I had a wonderful time! This was not my first time having fondue, having dined everywhere from a chain fondue place before [The Melting P0T] to an authentic fondue restaurant in Montreal, among others. The Wine Cellar ranks up there as one of the best! The have an extensive wine list and non-fondue menu items for those who aren't into fondue either. And for fondue, the prices weren't bad either! The service was wonderful - the waiter was knowledgable, the bus boy was attentive to clearing our utensils and filing our waters, food was served quickly... It wasn't overly crowded when we went which was nice since it is a small restaurant. I have no complaints and would highly recommend the Wine Cellar!!

The fondue was tasty however, our party of 6 people was harassed all night by the co-owner you see on the ad video. He was in a tattered corduroy over coat and a tee shirt and jeans as he proceeded to explain that he doesn't let anyone order anything but 3 courses, and when we tried to find something on the menu that wouldn't cost us $40 each, he forced us into a set menu that ran us upwards of $375. The waiter was very accommodating, but the owner thought he was better than everyone who walked through the door, and his demeanor ruined my night!
Pros: Food
