Though an Italian purist might object, it was the perfect complement to a beef bourguignon. The beer taps change frequently, but the servers described each option in great detail, as well as suggesting food pairings. ![]() Service was both quick and knowledgeable. The small plates included the timeless combination of layered beets and goat cheese, cleverly enhanced with a lemon vinaigrette and watercress, as well as a nice riff on lettuce wraps containing pulled pork with a Korean accent. The base orders of the sliders and scallops comprised three pieces for $14, but for larger appetites or more balanced date-sharing, a fourth could be added for $4 more. Perfectly caramelized faces surrounded a kaleidoscopic Asian-dressed slaw of cucumber, carrots, radish, red cabbage, and cilantro, dotted with sesame seeds. The seared scallops was probably the best-composed dish that we encountered. The tuna sliders were served rare and topped with medium chili fire and mellow garlic flavor in a spicy aioli. The bison sliders were boisterous compositions-the bold meatiness of the bison, the soft-edged sharpness of Marcoot Creamery’s Tipsy Cheddar and, tying them together, a supreme condiment called tomato bacon jam.

The restaurant reinforces the small-is-beautiful theme, serving a locally sourced menu in a sleek, dramatically lit space with about 30 table seats and another dozen at a long bar. After the original attracted a core group of fans for tastings, adding a sit-down space with food was a natural evolution. But the discovery isn’t as much of a surprise when you consider that Cellar House is connected to an older sister business, Bottle Cellars, a charming counterpoint to adult beverage megastores. There aren’t many places where I’d expect to find a 2006 Barbaresco by the glass, let alone in a strip mall flanked by a gym and nail salon.
