San Diego, you have spoken.

"Had the chance to stop in again at The W**eSellar & Brasserie, and as always, it was wonderful! The food, service, and atmosphere never disappoint. We were especially fortunate to find two incredible older Caymus vintages on their w**e list — a 1985 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon and a 1988 Caymus Special Selection. Stored perfectly. A special thank you to the entire team for continuing to make The W**eSellar & Brasserie such an extraordinary San Diego dining destination for nearly four decades."

This is why we do what we do. 23 consecutive years of W**e Spectator Grand Award, 1,069+ OpenTable reviews, and guests who have been with us for years.

Come taste why we are "a hidden gem in San Diego, offering excellent food and outstanding service in a cozy, elegant setting."
