My wife and I recently ried The Wine Cellar for our 11th anniversary dinner during our vacation in Curacao. The owner Nico and his son Anton were very warm, personable and pleasant. I am a fairly garrulous person and struck up a conversation with them. The snapper was fresh, prepared in continental fashion and presented well. We had a wonderful,... More

We arrived at 11:30 a.m. after a failed attempt to see the Cathedral on a Monday morning. I noticed the restaurant across the street and remembered the good reviews. Although they don't open until noon and they were in the middle of cleaning, they asked us to give them 10 minutes and then allowed us in to eat. There is... More

This restaurant is amazing - I had the fresh catch of the day - Caribbean Red Snapper with fresh veggies ad mashed potatoes. The chocolate cake comes with a scoop of ice cream for dessert and is delicious! But above all the service was outstanding!

This was the most fabulous place! Not only was the food top notch, like amazing, but the service and friendliness of the staff made the experience that much more enjoyable. I enjoy finding the best restaurant when we go on vacation and this was definitely it by far!

Taxi paid by restaurant picked us up and delivered back to the hotel. Daniel, owner's son greeted us and made us feel at home. Enjoyed excellent rack of lamb, unusual but delicious garden salad, and crepes for desert. All perfect. After dinner, Daniel waited with us for the taxi and passed on some of the family restaurant lore. A very... More

Celebrated our 40th anniversary last night at The Wine Cellar, and once again a truly outstanding fine dining experience. Upon arrival we were greeted by Nico, the owner, and shown to a special quiet table in the corner of the dining room. They surprised us with special "happy anniversary" decorations and a glass of champaign to start our evening. Started... More

We were picked up by the restaurant shuttle who ended up being the owner which was a nice touch. The staff was friendly and the service was great but most of all the food was fantastic. We are still on the island and will go again before we leave.

Unfortunately, my wife and I visited The Wine Cellar on the 2nd to last day of our trip. If we came earlier, we may have eaten here everyday, as Daniel made it easily the best dinner we had on the island. I made a reservation through email, informing Daniel that we would be celebrating our anniversary. We were sat in... More

5 of us ate here this week and it was better than most of my dining experiences in The States for this price range. It has been the same owner for over 41 years-the son of the owner, Daniel, who has worked there over 25 years was a superb host. Service was top notch, the meat was amazing-actually all the... More
