Wine Cellar, Jacksonville, Florida Restaurant Details

Food:

Food was good but overpriced by about 20% when compared with similar restaurants. Service was ok but adding a fixed 18% to the bill and on top of that making you feel like an additional tip is expected is just unacceptable. Like some other reviewers I felt robbed and will certainly not go back.

We went to the Wine Cellar for the first time tonight and it WAS BAD!!!!!!!
I found out about the Wine Cellar on Opentable and most of the reviews were four stars or better.
One even said the best place in Jacksonville. After tonight I think that the person who wrote that is rather the owners mother or someone who don't know a thing about good food or service.
So we get in and were seated quickly, Kay was our server I noticed that a water glass was missing, I did not say a word I wanted to see how Kay took care of it. Kay come out with the water and notice that a water glass was missing and grabs the glass from another table. Then she comes back with a plate of butter NO BREAD!!! So, again I wait and wait and wait the Kay shows back up with no bread so I ask her if we could get some bread to go with our plate of butter. She said "oh you need bread?".
Then the first course comes out and it was wrong I got something I did not order. So, I told Kay about it and she fixed it.
Then the main course comes out and the stakes that we asked to be cooked medium were cooked well done not to mention that they were the smallest and thinest pices of meat I had ever seen.
We told Kay about this and she took the plates away and we were their in silence as our guest had their meal in front of them not knowing to eat or to talk or what to do.
Kay came back with our meals.
At the end when the bill came out Kay told us that she took off $10. of our $150 off because of the cook.
Then I noticed the they have an 18% gratuity fixed in to the bill and then they ask you again for a tip.
I left this place like I got robbed.
Please don't go to this place. Jacksonville has much better place to eat that have their own parking lot. Yes, The Wine Cellar does not have parking you have to park at the bank next door.
Again Please don't go to this place.

I took my wife here for a "Just because Date" and it was an awesome experience. Our server, Wayne, was excellent! The atmosphere was romantic and we have a great time. I highly recommend The Wine Cellar to couples looking for a romantic evening.

Food:

Good food and service. Even though I dined alone the waiters did not try and hurry me along. I was able to read my book and sip a cocktail before dinner.

Food:

This is the one of the few places in jax, that deserved the name of "restаraunt". I have lived in Europe for many years and everything else they call here a restаraunt is just casual low-income eateries.
Wine cellar is a nice place to eat FOOD. I mean real food not chicken wings, fat stake or fries and tacos.
