The Cellar: Reviews & Ratings
Fine dining at its best in a small town in NY. The ambience was great. The waiter very knowledgeable. Wonderful food, fresh and rightly cooked to perfection. The dessert menu they have is outstanding. Our group got different desserts and all said it was wonderful. Definitely recommend for someone trying good food in the area. The pasta I ordered could have been a little better though.
Ate here at the suggestion of family who lives close to Corning. Went during the parade of lights which was absolutely beautiful to begin with and of course we knew it would be hard to get a table during a very busy day for the town. Thankfully our wait was minimal but we got the opportunity to sit at the bar and enjoy each a festive cocktail each which were fantastic. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lovely and very comforting. Service was amazing and the food as well. Of course they brought out a happy birthday dessert out for my wife which made her night. I’ll make sure to let others know to go there!
Another fabulous meal at The Cellar! Went in on a Saturday night—accidentally had made reservations for the following Saturday, but they were able to seat four of us. Delicious food and drinks and great service. I had 3 of their small plates: the spinach dip with house made focaccia—could have used a tad more spinach, but cheesy and delicious & the focaccia was amazing, the house salad—a mix of greens with apples, candied walnuts, pumpkin seed, in a house made dressing, and a cup of their lemon chicken soup—delicious!! The soup tasted homemade, but in the best way possible! So much flavor!! My hubby had their poutine as an appetizer and the chicken cacciatore—he enjoy everything. Our friends had the salad with shrimp added, duck mac n cheese, and a couple of other dishes and really were impressed! They’re new to this area from Dallas and are used to excellent restaurants with great vibes and food and said they would definitely be back! Mike, the owner, stopped by our table to see how things were and was as friendly and welcoming as ever! It’s so nice to go to a place where the owner is happy to see the guests having a great time. Also...delicious desserts, coffee and cocktails!!
Refined feel, thoughtfully composed dishes. Lamb lollipop chop was topped by a dollop of goat cheese and mint leaf and crisped morsel. Could've been a bit rarer though to preserve original flavor. Crispy shrimp milk bun (柳叶包) with frisee made a dynamically textured bite. The creamy mayo yolky sauce but with a kick of acidic note was exquisite. House salad with roasted pepita, candied walnut, microgreens incl basil, endive, frisee, and sweet ginger chili dressing was refreshing.
A delectable experience. My boyfriend and I dined here for Valentine’s Day and we ordered the market steak. The food was amazing. The service was amazing and the ambience was amazing.
We were really pleasantly surprised at just how nice our experience at The Cellar was. As someone with a gluten sensitivity I was thrilled to see that their chicken and waffles is gluten free. The prices are commensurate with the quality here, and I was glad to see that our entrees were full plates, not a piece of protein garnished with a few specks of vegetable and starch. This was a great way to start our weekend in Corning
We were in the mood for an upscale burger and fries and this was perfect! The gouda and apple butter were a great touch. Their spicy ketchup and garlic aioli were delicious, too! We’ve been to the Cellar many times and can also recommend the salmon and chicken and waffles, too. Also, our waitress was attentive and friendly! We will be back!
We recently dined at this restaurant and were blown away by the exceptional service, top-notch ingredients, and plentiful plates that exceeded our expectations. Although the prices were on the higher side, the quality and attention to detail made every penny worth it. Our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive, making us feel like we were part of a special experience. The care that went into every aspect of our meal was evident, and we left feeling delighted and impressed. If you're looking for a truly memorable dining experience and are willing to splurge, the cellar is definitely worth a visit.
