About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
Nestled in the heart of downtown Los Gatos, the family-owned Wine Cellar has been a community favorite for the past 60 years — blending cozy fine dining with a vibrant bar scene. Our menu features prime steaks and chops, fresh seafood, hearty pastas, crisp salads, fondue and handcrafted cocktails, paired with one of the South Bay’s most thoughtfully curated wine lists.

Inside, the warm wood-lined cellar sets the stage for romantic dinners and celebrations. On Friday nights, join us for our lively Patio Bar pop-up — a one-night-a-week experience with seasonal cocktails and live music under the Los Gatos sky. Dine on our award-winning patio any day the sun is shining and enjoy scenic view of the
Santa Cruz mountains.

For private gatherings, ask about our Library and Vineyard rooms, perfect for corporate events, holiday parties, rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, baby and bridal showers, birthday parties, anniversaries, celebrations of life, business seminars and more!

    We love the Wine Cellar. The food is always good and the people working there make it a great experience. Moises is particularly attentive and kind and always makes it an enjoyable evening. We appreciate all the people there so much! The double shrimp and avocado salad is excellent.

    Enjoyed a very delicious lunch at the Wine Cellar - French Onion Soup, Garlic Cheese Bread and Calamari were all awesome. As was the Non Alcoholic Cucumber Mint Beverage. We enjoy eating lunch at the Wine Cellar and will certainly be back!

    Service was not great. Think they are short staffed. Also I indicated that it was a birthday celebration and it was not acknowledge so we skipped dessert and went next door and had ice cream!!!!

    My husband and I have been to Wine Cellar many times. It's especially great to eat outdoors, however we will still go to Wine Cellar no matter what the weather is. We really love the food!

    We love the Wine Cellar, go there for birthdays, celebrations etc. With that said, the party next to us was watching videos on their phone with the volume way up. We asked them twice to turn the volume down and the second time they said "What are you going to do about it?". We think they may have been friends/relatives of employees and were disappointed that the staff did not intervene on our behalf. The Wine Cellar is an upscale restaurant and having someone playing loud videos throughout the meal doesn't fit the ambience.

    My dish was not great this time. Would not recommend flank steak - it was tough, not tenderized as you would expect with this dish. It was cooked like an NY cut but without that quality the meat is very chewy. I guess you can't win them all.
