The Cellar

The Cellar is located in downtown San Clemente, easily found right off the highway.

My friends arrived first at the scene and found a table fairly easily for a Friday night.  The room was filled with hip late 20-40 year olds, probably coming off of work and celebrating the end of the week.  There was live music-  a pianist who sang and sounded a like a mix between Gavin DeGraw and the guy who sings the Toy Story theme song.

The five of us shared a cheeseboard with charcuterie.  My favorite of the cheeses was the creamier one drizzled with honey.  A definite to-try if coming here!  Boyfriend also ordered the veggie burger which I had a bite of.  It was pretty large, a little bit messy, but incredibly flavorful.

Great food, service, and music!  Must-try if you're in the area, whether you're with a date or gathering with friends!

We went there for the first time last weekend and we LOVED it! We will definitely be coming back. We had a whole bunch of delicious appetizers, plus they had an extra flat bread that they gave us at no charge. The ambiance is wonderful, there was a girl singing and playing her guitar who sounded just like Norah Jones and was so good, and the service... you couldn't ask for anything better. Can't wait to go back and bring friends!

I'd say The Cellar is my favorite place in San Clemente.  Great selection of food on an ever changing menu.  Everything tastes delicious.  Probably the best craft beer selection in town.  Awesome cheese menu.  Live music.  What more could you want?  One of my favorite places to spend a Friday or Saturday night.

Highly recommend it!
