City Cellars

Great surroundings and atmosphere! Drinks and food were amazing along with the violin music in the background outside. The Lamb Chops were juicy and flavorful! 21+ only was also nice! Valet parking is available for reasonable price. I definitely recommend this place!

On October 5, 2025, My ex-husband and I went to City Cellers for our Happy 10th Divorce Anniversary🤷🏽‍♀️😂. It was the first time visiting for the both of us. Everything was amazing. From being greeted upon arrival and leaving. We had reservations for the patio. And it did not disappoint. Found out from the owner that The Tammy Drink I had was named after his mom. We’re definitely planning to go back. 21+ and I love that part.

Fantastic food, cocktails, atmosphere, and service by Dom. Highly recommend this City Cellars, Chef Antoinette Wright is the real deal. Elevated Southern Comfort meets Global Cuisine. The Owner stopped by our table to check on us and is very passionate about the quality of food they put out. We can't wait to come try more. The crab cakes had an insane amount of crab meat and very little filler. The Fried Green Tomatoes, Gumbo, and Spinach Dip were all excellent. Entrées, Short Rib Grilled Cheese is not to be missed, the burger was outstanding, and the Banana French Toast was insanely great! Both Frozen Cocktails we had were top-notch. One of the best restaurants in East Downtown IMO. Something on the menu for everyone!

Came here right after church at Blueprint (if you are looking for a church home, come visit!) and and was instantly greeted by valet. It’s $10 but there is other parking nearby. The hostesses were attentive and friendly - I didn’t have to wait to be acknowledged - and sat us immediately for our 1pm resy. Our server Jordan gave her favorite recommendations and was very patient as we decided. the menu is extensive but that just means there is something for everyone. We ordered a Bellini carafe ($24) and apps - Mac & cheese calls (8/10), fried calamari (which is served with fried shrimp - a pleasant surprise!!! 9/10) and spinach artichoke dip (8/10). I also ordered a summer salad (perfection) and steak and eggs that were cooked perfectly. Id highly recommend this place! Even with the brunch rush for Sunday Funday, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Wonderful staff, good food and great vibes!

This place is average at best. Service was fast (for me). Ordered right when I was seated. Table was sticky & not properly wiped down. Mac n cheese balls were good. The turkey club sandwich wasn’t good or fresh & sadly there were visible dust hairs on the bacon. The bread smelled like it was pressed on old oil. This is a one & done place. Wouldn’t go back or recommend it. Not worth the hype. I definitely don’t recommend going when it’s busy. I was lucky enough to find street parking.

So I heard mix reviews about this place but I was very satisfied with the service, drinks, and food! We tried the chopped and screwed and the h town hideaway and they were tasty and strong. We also tried the Mac n cheese balls and they were delicious. Sat at the bar. The restaurant is nice and the outside views are really cool. I’d definitely come again to try brunch or dinner.

Des was wonderful, the whole staff delivered great service as a team. The space was warm and inviting with live music just outside of the restaurant. There was a nice cross section of Houston; diverse but not overwhelming crowd . The food and drinks were delicious. We tried most of the signature cocktails, and I saw other tables enjoying bottles of wine. I love that the crab cakes were moist, flavorful, and more crab meat than filler. My friend wanted more of a crunchy outer crust, but I thought they were perfect. The jerked salmon was tender with texture, but it was more sweet than spiced. Overall, we had a great time and will definitely be back.

Loud and noisy! The service was slow and the food was mediocre at best. My Smoked Salmon Benedict came with runny hollandaise sauce on one egg. I asked for more and it looked like green mud it was so thick. One dinning companion ordered the appetizer of squid and shrimp which was way overcooked and hard. My last dinning companion had on omelet that was covered in gravy. I did not taste but she said it was good. I will not return.

The new city center is coming along nicely. Great views from City Cellar's deck. The food and drinks were fantastic. Service was above and beyond with Carey.

First time trying city cellars & we were super impressed! Cocktails were great, food was all delicious & Lucid gave us fantastic service! Will definitely be returning.

Our waiter, Steven was amazing! He was so attentive , fun and pleasant. The service, food and ambience were wonderful! Absolutely loved the drinks. I will be back.
