My sister Kimberly works here and Im visiting her this Veterans Day weekend so yesterday I tagged along with her and while she started the 2-10 shift I rode my bike around town and explored downtown Pleasanton on foot on a classic bay area day. After a few hours I came in hungry and on a kind young couples recommendation ordered the Ruben Sliders backed up with the Chicken Tortilla soup. Im not a restaurant reviewer but I know good food and this was outstanding. But the top notch cuisine ended up being just the tip of what turned out to be one of my proudest days ever to call myself a veteran of the United States Navy. On Friday, I had seen many restaurants were offering free meals and discounts to members of the armed forces and veterans. I saw an older gentleman at the store with a VFW hat on and we struck up a conversation in which we thanked each other for his service (he was Navy too) and saluted as we parted ways. It felt good. So after my Sliders and soup I ordered chocolate cake (hey, Im celebrating) and asked my dear sis if I could get a cup of coffee thrown in seeing as Im a veteran. Let me tell you, when the quality people who own and work at the Cellar Door found out I was a veteran I was treated to the best Veterans Day I have ever had. Dorina came and asked for my bank card to reverse the charges for the food Id already eaten and told me to order anything I wanted on the house. Again, the food was perfect (Bacon Baklava, oh jeez) but the feeling I left with after these folks treated me with such genuine, heartfelt love and gratitude has had me buzzing for this entire Sunday. The kind words, the hugs and the feeling of such kinship with fellow Americans brought a tear to the eye of this old aircraft carrier flight deck hardened salty dog and will never leave my memory. To my sister Kimberly (who inherited the "sweetest lady on earth" title upon our grandmothers passing), sweet Dorina, kind and gracious Jenney, owner Terri and husband Scott, smooth Joe on the guitar, Alex the chef and the entire Cellar Door team I thank you from the bottom of my heart. An owner wearing a MARINES shirt in honor of her brave U.S.M.C. son, a server with a big American flag tattoo proudly displayed, another with a veteran brother bursting with patriotic pride for being so recognized. This is America at its best. Bless you all. Antonio Mena

Dear Terri Terri, Ive just left your establishment and driven home to Albany. We were at the Antique Sale all day and looking for a place to eat and relax before driving back to Albany. Not too fancy and not too expensive. We found your place on our own and walked in to a nice inviting, comfortable place to sit down and have something to eat and drink before the drive back. We found a gift. We found good food, drink and most importantly good wait staff of two lovely women who were delightful and very pleasant (in Pleasanton) to help us select a good beer and suggestions for good wine and food. I wanted to be sure to let you know how much meeting and having your two women help with our meal meant to us. Even the water was over the top in refreshment. Thank you for such a nice experience that will be remembered for a long time. Chip and Nancy

The Cellar Door is a small, intimate tasting room in the beautiful downtown Pleasanton. Serving a local variety of wines, sparkling wine and tapas. My favorite time to visit is for Friday nights live music either in the tasting room or across in the park. (late spring/summer) The staff is so friendly making your visit one of a kind.

Great location and good wines. The patio is awesome in the late afternoon with the sun behind the buildings and the inside is very cozy. Their wine tasting menu is cool with some of the flight options and various size offerings. Sometimes I feel like the pours are a little on the small side but not going to ding them on that.
