10/10 the best steak around. Beautiful atmosphere, excellent staff, and perfect food. Do make reservations especially on a weekend.

We enjoyed the bar and the lovely Bartender pre meal, she was wonderful and funny! Our waitress was fantastic and the meal……. OUTSTANDING! Steak special was so tender and delicious. Another person at our table had shrimp and ribs and also stated it was excellent. Their salads were great and the home made dressings were off the chart. Then they brought out these delightful Carmel cinnamon rolls…………needless to say, I will happily drive an hour to visit this restaurant! What a treat. We went on a Wednesday evening with a party of 6 and was able to have a wonderful un rushed visit there. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A lovely place with a vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff. The food arrived quickly and was seasoned perfectly. The cocktails were refreshing and beautifully presented. Prices were fair for the quality. A great spot for both casual and special meals.

Absolutely Killer-Great charcoal orange roughy!! It was like a plate-full of flaked lobster, incredible! With drawn butter & lemon, perfectly prepared, served Hot, Really incredible! You know their steaks are fabulous--have one of you order orange roughy & share the excellent "surf & turf!" Baked potato was perfect, chicken livers are always the perfect treat, we would go for those alone. Thank you thank you Cellar, for staying true & excellent!

Very good food. Great service. They do need to turn the lights up a bit so reading the menue would be easier. I had to use the flashlight on my phone to read the menue.
