    Incredible restaurant in a historic house. We were seated downstairs in a beautiful room with stained glass art. Everything was perfect. The carpaccio appetizer was delicious as were our two entrees. The quality and presentation of the food was as good as it gets surpassed only by the attentive and professional server. Would recommend this for a romantic dinner especially. We will return.

    The Cellar Restaurant stands out as a destination for those seeking exceptional food, a remarkable wine list, and attentive service. My recent experiences dining here-twice in one week, each time with guests-reinforced its reputation for culinary excellence and hospitality. Food & Wine Every dish we sampled was excellent, from appetizers through to the main courses. The kitchen demonstrates both skill and creativity, producing meals that are memorable and beautifully presented. The wine list is extensive, offering a diverse selection that caters to both casual enthusiasts and serious connoisseurs, and the staff are knowledgeable in making thoughtful recommendations. Service The service throughout our visits was outstanding. Staff were attentive, professional, and ensured our dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. Their knowledge of both the menu and wine list was impressive, and their genuine care for guests was evident at every turn. Ambiance The Cellar’s setting is intimate and inviting, with a charming, old-world atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. The candlelit tables and vaulted ceilings create a sense of occasion, making it an ideal spot for both special events and casual gatherings. Management/Owner Interaction One notable shortcoming was the demeanor of the owner. Despite our repeat visits and bringing guests, there was no acknowledgment of our presence. The owner’s lack of engagement stood in stark contrast to the warmth and attentiveness of the rest of the team, leaving an impersonal impression that felt out of place in such an otherwise welcoming establishment. Final Thoughts Despite the owner’s aloofness, The Cellar’s food, wine, and service are compelling reasons to return. The restaurant excels in delivering a top-tier dining experience, and I look forward to enjoying many more meals here in the future.

    Celebrating date night and following Culinary Institute of America chefs we’ve been so excited to dine at The Cellar. The restaurant is located in a historical home and is so charming and cozy. Our server was very friendly and provided excellent service. The extensive wine list was impressive. Our food was exceptional and getting to know Lina was such a bonus! Our new favorite!

    The food and service was divine. This was one of the best meals we have ever had. The food was fresh, expertly prepared with fresh ingredients and seasoned perfectly. The service was stellar. Extensive wine list makes choosing a fun adventure. Desserts are decadent. We will definitely dine here again when we come back to Daytona. What an absolute gem of a place, nice decorated.

    Great customer service! As usual, food was delicious! A bit noisier than usual due to party of eight, enjoying their evening at the Cellar.😁

    The service was great. My wife and I had a glass of red wine that had a great flavor palate. We started with beef carpaccio. It was thinly sliced and very good. The next dish was pasta with crab. The pasta made in house was so good. Then we had striped bass with vegetables and a potato cake. All components of the dish we delicious. For dessert, we had the almost flourless chocolate torte. not too sweet, made just right. We will definitely be back the next time we are in town.
