Matt our server was great. Food was also excellent. We had a 7 PM reservation and we’re seated a little later, but it was OK. Crowd noise was excessive and due to people not getting up from their tables. We ended up sitting on a stairway. Not a typo. As stated the food was excellent, so where we sat was not as important as how good the food and service was. The only reason I did not provide five stars was because the menu that was reflected on their website was nowhere present when we were in the restaurant. When I questioned this, I was told that in the last couple of months the menu has changed two times. Again, not a biggie, however, the items that I really wanted that I saw great reviews only a few days ago and on their website were nowhere to be found on the menu. Additionally, items that were on their own website were much more expensive in the restaurant. For example, the chicken Parm on the their website is $17, in the restaurant it’s $25. I suggest that this type of misrepresentation be fixed. Short of that, our experience was excellent, food was excellent, service was excellent, and I highly recommend the daily catch (striped bass)

The Cellar at Duckworth’s combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of specialty and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are hand crafted to order by our mixologists. Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. We hope to take you back in time for a bit while enjoying good food and drink with friends and family.
