This is a pretty cool upscale casual restaurant, was a previous house converted. The decor is nice, has brick walls, hardwood floors, and a nice sitting area in the backyard. The staff were very friendly and the food was good. I was disappointed at the prices, though. The prices are surprisingly very high; they are comparable to Galatoire's or Commander's, without the white tablecloth service. This is the only reason for my lower evaluation.

What an incredible meal. For a Pre Fixe New Years Eve Dinner we were all excited about the meals we ate. Our server was extremely hospitable as well.

Cellar Door has really great food. However, you’ll expect to wait a good while for everything including drinks. Our waitress was friendly and helpful and the drinks we ordered were near perfect. We came in for a nice New Year’s Eve dinner and the noise level was acceptable, but as the night went on, more and more large parties began to gather in the small restaurant gradually increasing the noise level. This restaurant is well decorated and the ambiance is romantic. I’d recommend dining here only on a night that would not be so busy

The burger and fries were incredible. The menu was simple and changed every few months; which is nice. The restaurant itself was cool and historic.

Low rating unfortunately because we never got seated! We were about 20 mins. early, there were at least 5 tables open but the host asked us to wait at the bar. We did for 20 mins. and went back to the host to see if he was going to seat us. He said give him a few minutes and while we did, he seated every open table but not with us! So we left. Very disappointing. It was not packed. No one was waiting when we arrived at 5:10 for a 5:30 reservation.
