Amazing food, outstanding service and quite the wine collection!! All of the dishes we had were delicious, high quality, and had a beautiful presentation. I loved the fresh warm bread served on the side as well. It is a hidden gem and I highly recommend it if you’re in the area! 10/10

Wow! Fantastic dinner and experience! Sophia really showed her sommelier skills during of meal!! We ordered many things of the menu and asked for a pairing that she felt complimented the food choice. It was so so good. All the staff were friendly and professional. A wonderful place to get dressed up and celebrate!

Always an exceptional experience. This time we sat on the (casual side) at the bar and had dinner there. I had the Brazilian lemon drop – a must try! And an amazing Miro cab with dinner. Chef Oscar blew us away with the flavor and presentation. The lamb was delicious and tender.

My parents in law came to visit from Arizona for my husband’s first birthday after being a dad. I booked this place because I know they are gonna love it. It’s casual but fine dining Frenchy style restaurant with a giant selection of wines, and of course they sell wines and offer wine tasting. The Wednesday wine tasting is only $15 per person with 4 different kinds of wines. I’m so jealous because I’m still breastfeeding I couldn’t drink yet. They chose a bottle of Chardonnay from the tasting menu and enjoyed it with the food. We did family sharing style for foods, breads with butter, bone marrow, duck salad, lamb dish and a chicken dish for entrees. All of them are very well made! The platings were beautiful and the meats cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. For desserts, we ordered a flan, they also gave us a free churro pudding dessert for birthday celebration. Both desserts are so delicious! I think the desserts were my favorites! Especially the churro pudding, the salted caramel is super yummy. The service was amazing, we felt very welcomed. I definitely super recommend this place!

Excellent service. Extensive wine list, yet you can purchase a bottle at their store at retail price and drink it. Saving some money. Their corkage fee is also very reasonable. The cheese plate selection is not fantastic. The duck and lamb are very good. Incredibly, the potatoes and veggies were a miss. Very limited selection of digestives and dessert.

A Hidden Gem in an Office Park: A Night at The WineSeller & Brasserie
You wouldn’t expect to find a culinary treasure tucked away in an office park, but The Wine Cellar defies all expectations. Downstairs, it’s a literal wine cellar where patrons can store their own bottles. Upstairs, you step into a dining room that feels like a delightful throwback to the ‘90s—nostalgic in the best possible way.
What made our experience truly exceptional was the personalized seven-course tasting menu. Our friend had a collection of his own wines stored there and gave them to Lisa, the warm and welcoming owner. She and Chef Oscar then crafted a menu specifically to pair with those wines. The result was simply unforgettable.
Every course was amazing, but a couple stood out as pure genius. One highlight was a half lobster served two ways: one side topped with beef tartare, the other with lobster tartare. As someone who loves tasting menus, I was blown away by the creativity. Another standout was the clams with chorizo in a broth that was just out of this world. And who knew chicken could be so extraordinary? The chicken roulade was unbelievably tender and flavorful. Finally, the venison with mole sauce was cooked to absolute perfection and left us all speechless.
Chef Oscar’s talent and humility shone through each dish, and Lisa’s hospitality made the night even more special. While we didn’t try the regular menu, I have no doubt it’s just as delightful. If you’re looking for a unique dining experience with a personal touch, The WineSeller is a must-visit.

The service and food are exceptional. Morro greets you, has great recommendations, and makes your experience special. His team of Karla, Otto, and Gordo are there when you need them and are very polite. Always love dining at WineSellar & Brasserie.

Incredible restaurant! It was our first time here and we loved it! Every dish was amazing and our server, Leslie, was incredibly attentive and gave great recommendations.
We ended up having the tuna tartar, the escargot, lamb osso buco, and fish of the day (it was chilean seabass) and would highly recommend them all.
At the end of our meal, the owner Lisa stopped by and said hello. Overall, the whole experience really made our birthday celebration so memorable.
Thank you so much to everyone at WineSellar for a great night–we’ll definitely be back!!

Chef’s mercy menu was extremely well paired with the wines and offered a unique dining experience with plenty of pleasant culinary surprises. The staff and service are second to none in the San Diego area.
