   At firstUsually great but it was a miss tonight all around. Service was lacking at first when we had to look for our server.Ahí tuna was good as was the duck. Caesar steak salad was unattractive and bland. Apple dessert was not worth the calories but the ice cream was ! Plain water served could be improved with ice or lemon- something to dress it up a little Bread was good. Place was nice and quiet tonight allowing for easy conversation but Probably won’t be back for awhile

   It was a while since we had been at City Cellar and could be this is why. We were created at the front desk by a bit so friendly hostess who seemed angry and annoyed. Not a smile or a welcome greeting. We were a little early so we waited by the lounge area and had a drink . We were seated about a half hour later . Service was unbelievably slow. Took forever to get a drink and especially our dinner. The waiter seemed overwhelmed and at times nowhere to be found. I’m sure they had a staffing issue but one of the several hosts/managers seen walking around or chit chatting could have helped out. We complained a few times and the waiter was very apologetic but the issue continued. At the end, they offered us a free dessert to, I guess, make up for the delay in the food and service. Not ONE of the hosts/manager came over to apologize. The food was good but nothing exceptional . The drinks were overpriced . It was very warm in the restaurant which made it a little uncomfortable. I guess it will be a while before we go back, if we go back.

   Everything was very nice. Service was great despite the fact the restaurant was very busy. The only thing I would change would be to serve the banana donuts warm. I was a bit disappointed that they were at room temperature. Nothing like warm donuts. But this won't stop us from returning.

   The staff was very helpful and professional. The table we were seated at was very noisy. I had the scallops and risotto and I found it to be very salty. I would definitely return and tey something else. My nephew had the tuna bowl and enjoyed it.

   This used to be a favorite! Today was our swan song. Empty, overpriced, dropped the price fixe menu, & not great shakes on the food or drinks.

    Some places are dependable; they deliver a satisfying meal each time. This is one of the most dependable. It never disappoints. I’ll just give one note regarding the French onion soup. It’s delicious, but it comes with large chunks of exceedingly tender beef, making it more of a stew than a soup. So just a heads up if you were expecting lots of broth on a cold winter day.
