   First time having dinner at The WineSellar & Brasserie, but will not be the last! It was excellent from start to finish - interesting menu, food very well prepared - simple, elegant, not heavy, but very tasty. Wine list is great and service is professional and impeccable. Now that we've found it, we intend to return again and again!

   We enjoyed our meal at Winesellar. My wife had 2 appetizers- the delicious escargot tart, which was more like a flatbread, and the assorted mushrooms. I chose the beautifully-prepared octopus and a tasty ribeye. We complimented the meal with a bottle of Chateauneuf-du-Pape from their extensive wine list. Service was friendly and professional.

   Great food as usual! We think we like the new chef's style better. Love the Duck Duo, especially the roasted one. The seasonal salad with flat iron steak was great too.

   The service is amazing. We were absolutely delighted with our meal. The presentation was stunning, and every bite was incredibly satisfying. We asked for a recommendation on a bottle of wine, and it was perfect for all of our dinner choices (lamb, ribeye & lobster). We truly had a memorable experience. We highly recommend this place for anyone who appreciates delicious, premium dining.

   The seating was super uncomfortable but everything else was top tier

   If it is just the two of you, then ask for Tables #6 or 9 (corner where both seats are on the booth), table 10, 14 or 15. You can request these tables when you make your next reservation on Open Table. Thank you again for your commentary! Gary Parker, Owner

   The valentine meal was very good, but the portions were incredibly small for the price point of $90.00 per person. The chocolate tart was a small tart cut in half & served as such. Our party of 6 all left hungry.

   It can be partially my fault. As with many of our special menu dinners (winemaker dinners, New Year's Eve, Christmas Eve, etc). the guest feedback we typically get was there was "too much food". So I relayed that message to the Chef, and it had a larger impact on how he sized the portions than I had imagined. Our everyday lunch and dinner menus provide ample portions. My apologies.

   Did not care for the fixed Valentine's dinner menu but that was our fault for not realizing that when we booked the reservation. Our server was lovely but there seemed to be a lag between courses which likely was a kitchen issue? Portions were small. Stopped somewhere afterwards so my partner could have a snack. Lovely ambiance as always. Will go back but not likely when a fixed menu is offered.

    Not really a kid friendly restaurant. The food didn’t have much flavor. Extremely expensive but you’re purely paying for ambience.

    Hi James: You came on Valentine's Day with two young children, without notifying us. We were serving price fixed menu ONLY. You asked that we make special off the menu items for your children and forego the evenings set menu. Chef made them special plates. I sincerely disagree with your assessments of our being "extremely expensive" and "not kid friendly".
