City Cellar Wine Bar & Grill

I am way overdue on writing this review! My group of 7 visited for a joint birthday celebration on 4/26. I am so glad I found this gem! The wait staff was amazing. Shout-out to Hailey! The management was so flexible, because we edited our reservation at least 3 times the day of! The atmosphere was very chic, modern and relaxed. The food was amazing! The appetizers were definitely shareable and tasty. We ordered the wings, Lobster mac, Calamari and the dip. The Flank steak and Filet mignon were the entrees of choice, and everyone enjoyed their plate! I don't live close, but I will definitely return in the future. This is definitely a restaurant to keep in your old Faithful list. City Cellar is my new favorite LI hangout. Thank you guys again for making my birthday celebration so amazing! Sorry I only have pics of the dessert!

We had reservations so we didn't have a wait at all. There were only 2 of us but we were given a huge semi circle booth with a big table. The seat cushion wasn't that comfortable and sank in quite a bit and the upholstery had some rips in it... The food was definitely decent and presentation was good ... The service was very sporadic and basically slow. The bread was dry and came with a plate of plain oil for dipping which was tasteless. We got the rock shrimp and grilled octopus appetizers which were pretty good. I ordered beef short rib. My friend had the shrimp and scallops with risotto. We also had peach Sangria and desserts !!!

One of my friends suggested this place after our original New Year Day Brunch plans fell through. I've always driven by this establishment but never had the opportunity to go there. I'm so glad I got the chance; the atmosphere and ambiance felt mature and pleasant. The decor was amazing. Our hostess was amazing, very knowledgeable and professional; he definitely accommodated to all of our needs and we weren't disappointed at all. The food was outstanding; my only hiccup was the octopus appetizer was a bit salty but it was still good. The drinks were awesome. Will definitely come back!!

Nice place. The appetizers were great. Fried calamari delicious and fresh, short rib egg rolls were over the top outrageously good. Entrée was duck breast with cauliflower puree and some out of this world cherries , highly recommend. Service was good too. The things I didn't like were... the bench seating, there was no seat support, you sank right in, time for new. Two other things that really bothered me for a nice establishment... gnats or fruit flies were extremely annoying and there was a slight foul smell of dirty mop bucket water. Every time I got a whiff, it was gross. I worked at enough food establishments in my time to know that distinct smell. Not very appealing when eating. Luckily the food was excellent.

Thank you for the wonderful dining experience, Pablo! He made our anniversary meal special and was very attentive to our needs! The value for the food was fantastic and the atmosphere is gorgeous! Will be coming back here again with the kids!

Good place to meet and eat. We order the hummus plate and grilled asparagus, both of which were very good. Our waiter was a little difficult to find tho so when we had a question my dining partner had to hunt him down but no biggie. Nice ambiance although I personally don’t like music playing when I’m dining with people unless it’s very subtle. Parking lot out front can get somewhat congested but we went on a Sunday so….. I would come back here on a weekday.

City Cellar offers a diverse menu of wood-fired pizzas, pasta, steaks,and more. This restaurant also has a bar with so many crafted cocktails. My friends and I came her for brunch. We ordered Steak & Egg, Short Ribs Hash, Salmon Benedict, Brunch Burger, and Sampler. Staffs were attentive and friendly. City Cellar is located in the Roosevelt Field Mall area, it's convenient for those looking to dine before or after shopping.

I really enjoyed City Wine Bar & Grill. It was a loud place, but filled with lots of positive energy. The decor was cool, service was wonderful and the food was very good. Our waiter Pablo was knowledgeable, made great recommendations and a fun personality. Our group enjoyed some nice cocktails, wine and Port. The Thai Mussels as well as the grilled octopus were fantastic starters. My lamb shank special was awesome and fell right off the bone.....really tender and full of flavor. My wife enjoyed her branzino. Our friends said their steak and duck dinners were very good as well. This place is not cheap at all. The bill was around $250 per couple. So although I really liked my experience, I will probably come back only for a special occasion and not a random weekend night out. Overall worth a visit!
