“ food is amazing! I highly recommend the lobster ravioli. owner is lovely and staff is so friendly and attentive. the decor is beautiful and it's warm and welcoming. definitely will come back and bring friends! ”

“ The Cellar quickly became a favorite of mine and my partner. The ambiance is great - the new enclosed patio area is really lovely and feels even warmer (or romantic, if that's what you want!) feel than the main restaurant. The greeters and servers are universally excellent. We have never had a bad experience. The food is delicious - and while I'd say the portions may be too large, we like it because we can easily share a pasta dish or have leftovers. My biggest tip? Get the truffle fries with the Kalamata olive aioli. Out of this world. ”

“ A hidden gem! We've lived in the area for years but somehow just found this place. It's a cozy spot, with leather booths and a big, open bar with comfortable seating. Service at the bar was friendly and warm. My husband and I both enjoyed perfectly cooked steaks for dinner (rib eye for him, filet mignon for me). At $40 each, we thought they were quite reasonably priced and each came with our choice of two delicious homemade sides. We sampled the mashed potatoes, rice pilaf and asparagus. My steak also came with a choice of 2 sauces. I went with the bearnaise (my favorite) and it made a great accompaniment to my filet but also my asparagus. We each had several glasses of red wine in the couple of hours that we spent there, chatting with the bartender and friendly guests and even some neighbors we weren't expecting to run into. We left with full bellies and big smiles. We'll be back! ”

“ Went there for dinner. Food was good, ample servings, and reasonably priced. Service was EXCELLENT! Hostess greeted us and took us to a table, whereupon we were introduced to our server. Local flavor in both food and employees. Outdoor tables, under a canopy (may have been heated) were available although we sat inside. A great makeover of former Steak Loft. ”

“ Has a lot to offer on the menu; a lot of options for seafood, meat and vegetable dishes. Service is always good. Really nice inside. ”

“ This is a renovated labor of love and some details revitalizing the defunct Steak Loft. I have to agree with one of the other yelpers, that the ambiance is odd, not off putting, but while so much effort went into the architecture, the paintings and ornaments are really cheesy. So if you go by "first impressions" you will be seriously confused. But that part ends there, because you don't eat the decor, do you? With a name like "The Cellar, etc." you would expect a great wine offering. And wine is a very personal journey. I can only imagine it represents what the owners think memorable wines/approachable wines should be. THAT was my biggest disappointment. The wine list is - meh -. BUT I hear the bar and cocktails are well made. Judging by how loaded the bar was - let's say it's safe to assume they serve great drinks! ALL servers are smiling and moving around like gazelles, taking care of people with a smile and home-town welcome feel. Our server, Kathrine, was a delightful doll who aimed to please and had GREAT recommendations. As for the food? Not bad at all! They start off with GOOD BREAD (YAY!) and butter. Not a shabby start. We sampled the gooey, fatty and oh so flavorful crab dip. This stuff is so rich, it is a cure for a hangover. If you are going to drink - you want to nosh on this puppy. At Katherines recommendation, we went with one of their signature dishes that included a 12 onz NY strip, crowned with bay scallops, stuffing, a sauce. With 2 sides. We picked the asparragus and fingerling potatoes. $38 - not bad. The food was all very well seasoned, the steak was perfectly rare and not black-and-blue, the scallops were not ping pong rubber balls, and nothing was swimming in grease. In a nutshell? Good food. We were happy. Old school italian-american-ISH, steakhouse-ish neighborhood watering hole with something for everyone in the family - except people with food allergies. C'mon people. CALL AHEAD OF TIME and don't penalize a restaurant that put so much money and effort into the establishment because they can't cater to your health needs. JUST CALL AHEAD and if it can't be accommodated - move on or stay home. For the rest of the locals - enjoy. The people are lovely, the place is super clean (cheesy but clean - cmon owners, take some nice photos of cellars and landscape and blow them up, frame them and burn the BAD artwork from the walls! You will round it out by adding some less cheese to the otherwise beautiful walls!) ”

“ Only thing they are missing are Luxardo cherries for craft cocktails Everything was great. Food service!!! ”
