The Cellar Wine Bar & Kitchen

Made reservations, but we probably didn't need to. We ended up sitting at the bar instead the dining room or at a table. Our bartender / server was excellent with suggestions and spot on. We went with Korean beef, 2 different flat breads, (it was Pizza Friday, after all). The rum old fashioned was unique and delicious! If we found ourselves in South Bend again, would we come back? Heck yeah!!

I typically post a review if I absolutely love a place and here is one. Our server Alysa was very personable and helpful. I explained we were at a hotel and would prefer white wine with a screw top for convenience. She actually checked the wine ‘cellar’ to tell me what was available. We decided on a bottle of Pinot Grigio and it was a good choice. My husband’s ‘Adult Mac & Cheese’ with sausage was delicious especially with a side of glazed carrots. My Chicken Shawarma was very good and VERY spicy. Obviously, I needed ice cream for dessert! The shot of Baileys Irish Cream to pour over didn’t hurt either. ha! This is a restaurant I’ll recommend to anyone going to South Bend.

This place is overrated. We ordered bruschetta and steak. Bruschetta of four choices was ok but Medium rare steak was out with well done. Please be warned that the portions are too small.

I’ve never left a review for a restaurant before but holy cow. I’m somewhat of a picky eater, and Mac and cheese is a staple from my childhood that I’ve always loved. Hence, I’ve had many, many, Mac and cheese dishes, both for kids and adults. I picked the cellar for my birthday meal, and it was well worth it. The Adult mac and cheese was the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever had, if not one of the best dishes I’ve had in a restaurant period. Please never take this off the menu, I cannot recommend it enough.

The service was great. We ordered a Charcuterie board but it came with very few options and Only 2 different kind of cheeses with only 3 slices. The board also came with a mustard dip that was not enjoyable at all either. My friend who was dinning with me agreed. Someone has a very heavy hand with the mustard. Also, some of the crackers were very hard and stale. We also had a wine flight and that was great. We decided not to stay for dinner but the menu does look good!

I have recently become practically a regular. You're greeted promptly. The food and service is impeccable!!! If I could give it a 15/10, I would! Mike is the best!! He makes amazing drinks and is so personable!!! ☺️

What a wonderful spot conveniently located right next to Howard Park! My wife and I went for a date night. We were immediately greeted by the owner and taken to a nice table right by the window. The restaurant has an upscale vibe of a wine bar with a comfy/cozy feel. Delicious food with fresh ingredients. The wine was great, and the service was top notch. Owner, Shawn Todd, really brought us a gem to South Bend. Nothing quite like it in the area. 5 stars all around!

Great atmosphere! Food is pretty good. I had Orange chicken that was a bit dry and the rice should have been cooked a bit more. Waiter didn't bring water until I asked. Bruschetta was really good! The best I've had so far. Staff was nice. I didn't wait long. Clean inside. I encourage anyone to try it. I would return.
