The Best Cellar

The restaurant's atmosphere is very nice. This is not the place to dine on a budget. The drink prices are somewhat typical, $7-8 for a beer and 1/2 of a glass of wine for $11-13. Had a Founders Porter and enjoyed it. Appetizers are $10-20. We had the lobster bisque ($12). Delicious and I'd like the recipe. I had the buttermilk chicken entree, with mashed potatoes and asparagus. ($30). The chicken was delicious, but considering the price, a small portion, as were the mashed (actually pureed) potatos. If you slice a chicken breast long ways into 3 cutlets and serve 2 of the slices, breaded and fried, along with a 3" quenelle of potato (3 or 4 small forks full). There were ample asparagus. Honestly, for a $30 chicken dish, i expected much more food. Overall, the dish is not a value. Th

From the gentleman taking my reservation to the valet returning my car, I was impressed from the beginning to the end of my visit w the extra touch by all. An amazing place w character for a romantic and intimate space which I wanted. I’m a fan of drinks that I’ve never heard of and the vanilla lemon drop was superb. The crab cake appetizer was one of the best I’ve ever had. The short ribs were delicious w the horseradish cream. (My date enjoyed the special) The beets were incredible w a hint of mediterranean spice, even my date who doesn’t like beets loved them. Delicious rich chocolate torte and a tasty homemade banana pie followed.

This is an amazing historic delicious restaurant! The duck was phenomenal! Amazing oysters Rockefeller! I highly recommend it 👌 👍

Probably the best place in town for a romantic dinner! The restaurant was decorated tastefully for Valentines Day, with cute, themed drink options. The roasted duck and seared tuna were excellent choices for main meal! They have a robust wine selection with reasonable prices, and the mixed drinks were so creative. Service was attentive but not invasive. Definitely make a reservation during busy season!

We celebrated both Valentine’s Day and our birthdays at The Best Cellar, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Despite booking last minute, we were fortunate to get the best seat in the house! From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable—attentive, welcoming, and truly top-notch. The food exceeded all expectations, with an outstanding selection and exceptional flavors in every dish. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers such a flawless dining experience, but The Best Cellar did just that. We loved it so much that we’ve already booked another night this week! Highly recommend for a special occasion or just a memorable night out!
