Cellar 19 Wine & Deli

Probably the best food in council bluffs. The hummus plate is amazing. I was impressed with all the appetizers. The sandwiches look amazing. The wine list is currently growing and is impressive for the area (I'm from Cali and self appointed wine snob ) They have a fabulous patio and half off apps on Mondays. Nice to finally have a decent food and wine place in cb and not have to go to Omaha. This is definitely on my weekly rotation.

I was driving thru Council Bluff and I asked where to go for lunch. I was referred to this local restaurant. The service was good, the sandwich was filling and a good portion. Not a lot but not little. It sure was filling. The sandwich had a great flavor and the fruit was fresh. If I am in town I'll stop by and try something else. I gave 4 stars because the sandwich was good but not WOW! There was no WOW factor but it was good for sure. The staff was attentive and they ensured that I had a wonderful time while I was there.

We stopped by to snoop because of the new owners. The atmosphere felt so much more welcoming! Same great deli and appetizers offered. Wine, beer and cocktail offerings were very good. Our server, Claire, was very friendly and on top of things.

Always great sandwiches! I stop here often, especially in the summertime. I don't recommend their gluten free bread (very dry), but everything else is great! Yummy!

Being wine savvy, I do tend to be a harder critic when it comes to wine bars so let's begin!!We came on a Monday for half price apps and good wine. I'm so happy the apps were half off because if I would have paid full price....I ordered the shrimp app, my sister ordered the hummus platter, and her friend got the artichoke dip. We actually thought our waitress forgot our order because it took over 30 minutes to get. I ordered cold shrimp for crying out loud!! We finally get our food (on my 2nd glass of wine), and the artichoke dip won hands down!! The shrimp seemed to have been run under warm water for that 30 minutes to "thaw". It was horrid. The hummus plate looked like it came from Wal-mart. The artichoke dip was warm and the bread went well with it. So yay!! One out of three ain't bad.I had 2 glasses of their Malbec which was dry, fruity, and everything you could ask for in a red wine. So that was a plus!!So go for the wine and if you are going to eat, go on 1/2 off Mondays.

I happened to stumble on this place while I was reading Yelp reviews so decided to try it out. Cute place. Dimly lit and a cozy atmosphere. There was only a couple of open tables when we arrived. The waitress came over quickly and advised food orders would be 30 minutes or so due to the large party they had. Looked like they had a group of about 12-14. That being said I ordered my drink right away and we placed our order as soon as she came with my drink. I ordered the blood orange Moscow Mule and it was very tasty. I ordered the French dip sandwich and my dining partner ordered the special which was chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes. To my surprise our food was delivered in under 10 minutes. My French dip was tasty! Loved that it was served on baguette that was toasted and had Swiss cheese on it. The roast beef was sliced which I normally don't like but this was sliced thicker and was super tender. The au jus was very good as well. I had the cucumber salad as a side and while it was good it could have used more cucumbers and less red onion. I'd still order again.I'm told the chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes was good but not likely one to be ordered again.Look forward to stopping in again sometime. They have a nice patio which would be fun once we get done with this stupid winter stuff!

I had lunch here on a Sunday, we showed up shortly after the place opened. The ambience is nice, with dim lighting, floor to ceiling wine racks, a bar, high tops and regular tables. At the counter, we were told they don't serve appetizers on Sundays, because they close early on Sundays and appetizers are only served after 3pm. So we figured sandwiches would do. I asked about the ingredients in one of their listed daily soups, and was told they didn't know for sure, as it just came in a bag from Boar's Head.When our sandwiches were brought out, the waitress asked if we wanted anything else. I asked for a glass of water, and she told me to go get it myself, over there, it's self-service on the weekends. Then why ask? Overall it kind of felt like the service wasn't the friendliest, just a bit short and serious at every interaction. Which is fine, I was there to eat, not to chat I suppose, but things like this add to one's overall impression of a place. As for the food, I went ahead and ordered the aforementioned soup, and it was perfectly fine as a warm accoutrement to a cold sandwich. My sandwich was the only vegetarian option on the menu as far as I recall. It was listed with sprouts as a topping, but they no longer serve these and I was given the option of replacing the sprouts with lettuce. The sandwich was decent, if a bit heavy on the mustard. The baguette bread it was served on was chewy as baguette tends to be, so eating it was a bit messy as the tough bread would squish the toppings out the other end of the sandwich with every bite. Just a structural issue baguette sandwiches so often suffer.My friend ordered a Moscow mule and I had a glass of white wine. The drinks were both good, and there is the option of ordering certain wines by the glass or bottle.The place got busy quickly after we showed up, it looked like they have a fair amount of regulars. I wouldn't mind going again, and maybe trying some of their other sides.

Classic Pastrami Is amazing ,there desserts are scrumptious.Customers service is spot on !!I don't eat in much we take out but the place seems quaint.

Charcuterie board and nachos are so good and a lot. However if you're going there to drink wine, save yourself some $$$ and go to store. Textbook Cabernet is $62.00a bottle/16$ a glass at cellar 19, same bottle 20.00 at Total wine. Quite the mark up.

We attended a birthday party at Cellar 19 last week. I was extremely disappointed with the service (didn't check back with us after delivering the food to our table). We needed drink refills. The chicken salad sandwich was so tiny. They changed me almost $10 for the tip and the service was horrible. We will not return.
