My review 2 star rating is because the last time I ever went there and probably will never again, along with eating dinner, I had two blonde bombs and 1 cocktail. Full stomach, on a 1st date, and I was cut off any more alcohol? I'm not even driving for the love of God. Absolutely humiliating. Went straight up a block to the Brewing Company, had 3 more cocktails and went for a walk in the park. Hardly a falling down drunk!

I sincerely hope managment will consider returning to how they previously served their food and their customers. This is said with love and fingers crossed I never see this place close in my lifetime like the Deck did Dear Cellar, I (and many others I speak for) beg you: Bring back the "The Cellar" pewter chargers and bread plates Stop bringing Green Goddess to the table in a trashy little plastic to-go container (dinner has just started we're not leaving yet!) and bring salad dressings to the table in the carrousels as before and stop being lazy. Shame on you for bringing GG dressing to the table like that. You know it's wrong. My mouth fell open the first time I saw that. When the waitress left, my dinner companion held up the little plastic container and waved it in the air like "see? they do THIS now" UGH Offer at least ONE signature side (not green beans straight from frozen. cream 'em, toss 'em with slivered almonds, do *something* to them. I ate waxy frozen green beans at home growing up bleh) Offer at least ONE house-made or locally-made dessert, like a CRUMBLE with ice cream. If you offer ONE dessert people can't get anywhere else, they will travel for it. Make use of the countless local bakers. You have French Onion Soup which is very cool. It is also served very cool which is not cool. French Onion Soup is only enjoyable when it is served hot The $30 BBQ shimp was terrrrrible- you are a grill house. This was expected to be grilled and butterflied jumbo shrimp. Not frozen, gummy, small pink shrimp floating in BBQ sauce. This is the one place I go where I hope I can get decent "surf n turf". Newp Steaks are okay, hit an miss with cuts and preparation. Had a New York strip one night that was absolutely amazing, but everything else was as above. The bartenders are excellent. They deserve a raise. The waitstaff is excellent. They are fast (a little too fast, you feel like everyone is running mad, and you're a bit rushed to finish dinner). The cocktail bar is awesome. Bartendresses are amazing and working their butts off. Tip them well. Whatever you do, for the love of all that is corn-fed: don't change the decor. I say this in all honesty and sincerity. This is an enormous aspect of The Cellar's charm. I love that the interior decor throughout has not changed a bit. Don't waste one second thinking any money woes are due to the upside-down brick wallpaper or let people tell you it's "dated" and needs a re-model. That will kill the restaurant for good Dated look = good / Dated food = bad. KISS

Has some basic bar food full of grease and who knows what else. This seems good enough for the locals, but of course they have limited options. A pretty basic looking bar. It was pretty quiet inside. This was a place we stopped waiting for another place to open. It's about $4 for a basic cocktail. The food menu is limited. Mostly greasy stuff with the most popular option being the burgers. Those not minding the grease would probably find that the best thing to eat here. Good if only looking for a cheap drink. It also has basic bar food. The locals here can be a wild bunch but this place seemed pretty quiet though.

And the bartenders are downright kind. I remember an ooolllldd man at the bar, falling down drunk, and he was going to drive home. Oh hell no. Patrick, a bartender, asked me to follow as he drove the old man home in the man's truck, parked it, and helped the man walk into the lobby of his apt complex - the highrise. I did, and Pat and I drove back. Then, there's The Whiz. I was there on a Sunday afternoon, reading the paper and having a drink, and an autistic man walked in. I remember the men at the bar yelling 'it's The Whiz! Come here! We'll buy you a drink!' I thought oh hell no. I will not let them get him drunk. I watched, one man ordered a round 'for the boys' and winked at the bartender. She nodded. The 'boys' got rum and cokes, The Whiz got a plain coke. It was awesome. Then The Whiz ordered a round for his friends and slid her a quarter. She got their round, and when The Whiz wasn't looking, a man slid her a $20. Listening to their convo, I found out he was The Whiz because he was what's called an 'idiot savant' like Rainman. But he knew sports. If you asked him who the quartback was for XYZ team at the 1964 Superbowl he'd just rattle it off. The 1st baseman on XYZ baseball team in the 1942 World Series. He knew. Sadly, The Whiz died last year. 2000 people were there for his funeral. We loved him. And that's Leamens.

New China is another one of those genetic named Chinese places. Looks about the same inside as any of these except for the booths. There's QR codes of the menu on these you can scan. After coming in and ordering, we decide to just dine in. It doesn't look that bad in here really. There's a reach in with beverages, and it's not just pop. It's about $2 for pear juice. This amazingly was pretty good and not like it was sickeningly sweet. As for the food, there's limited vegetarian choices. It's about $11 for the cheapest entree. We each got the Ma Po Tofu. It's a vegetarian friendly recipe. There's no pork in this. Good place for a town with not a whole lot. It's not like it's incredible, but it's still okay though. There's a few choices including tofu for vegetarians.
