Cellar 6 Restaurant Review

My husband, Chris, and I ate at a fairly new restaurant in St. Augustine called Cellar 6 for our anniversary.  It is a wine bar with tapas size dishes.  The setup was just gorgeous with warm colors and high top wood tables.  However, when we got there the place was almost empty and stayed that way throughout dinner.  The wine prices were good as well as a good selection.  I ordered the Aviles Ahi Tuna $12 "Seared and seasoned yellowfin tuna served over organic field greens in a chilled martini glass rimmed with Asian spiced sea salt. Served with soy sauce and wasabi on the side". Chris got the Maryland Style Crab Cakes $12 "Two 3 ounce homemade lump crab cakes broiled and served on organic field greens with our house remoulade sauce" and we shared the Cellar 6 House Salad $8 "Chopped bibb lettuce, crumbled gorgonzola cheese, sliced roma tomatoes, dried cherries, homemade candied pecans and house raspberry balsamic vinaigrette".

The tuna had nice presentation; however, I was a bit disappointed in the quality/preparation. The texture was a bit dry and the outside was whitish and not the caramelization on the outside I was looking for. The crab cakes were a good texture, a bit creamy and just enough breading. We liked the salad the best. The flavors blended well together and the dressing was excellent...good quality balsamic.

Overall I would suggest this place for a light appetizer and drink before dinner plans elsewhere or to meet up with the girls for a glass of wine. I'm not sure I would go back for dinner.
