Creed's Seafood & Steaks

The wine list at Creed's opens with a confident swing — 100+ labels, a sommelier on staff, and a range that runs from Alsatian Riesling to Stags Leap Cask 23. It reads like a list that actually wants to sell you wine, not just fill a page. The price spread ($42–$265) is wide enough to accommodate a business dinner and a casual Tuesday night out.

California leads the charge here, with Napa Cabernet doing the heavy lifting — Ghost Block and Stags Leap Cask 23 anchor the red side of things with authority. Burgundy gets a respectable nod with the Louis Latour Grancey Corton at $200, and Champagne shows up properly with Gosset Grande Reserve rather than just defaulting to Veuve. Provence, Alsace, and Italy round things out without much depth, but the bones of the list are right for a steakhouse with serious seafood ambitions. The gaps show up in South America and anywhere outside Western Europe and California — don't come here looking for a Mencia or a Gruner.

Fifteen pours by the glass is a respectable lineup for a suburban steakhouse, and the presence of a sommelier suggests those selections aren't just whatever needs moving. We'd want to know more about rotation frequency, but what's on offer covers the major bases — sparkling, white, and red — without leaning entirely on the usual suspects.
