I fkn love this place! We have been coming to The Cauldron since 2019 and every year it's like the first. Everything about this spot is magical and intriguing. The drink are mouth watering and the food is delicious. We fall in love with this place and each other all over again every year.

Recently attended their wine tasting/pairing menu. Cost was $65 a person and we had a group of 3. The concept was supposed to be "egg and springtime fertility". What this was, for me, was a sales pitch for the brand of wine being presented. I feel like this was an event put on by a distributor/sales person for low end wine company. Not exactly the best tasting 3oz samples. It also felt as a majority of the party were her direct guests. Even one of the waiters grandma's was in attendance, so my party was feeling out of place as if we intruded on an event. All of the wines were poured into the same glasses, no rinse/wipe or new glasses offered. The food is OK I guess. It was small plate appetizer type portions. I'm still wondering why there was a citrusy/acidic celery sprint salad and roast potato and bacon combination. The bacon was soggy and it was just an odd flavor profile I didn't find pleasant. Similar with the salmon quiche, uneven and not a pleasant flavor. The ratatouille and french egg were bland. I just feel as if this was just handled like a catering event with everything cooked in individual serving dishes in 200 pans in the broilers/ovens before service. The tartar was good, I did enjoy nicely. The presentation was poor. Everything was served on plastic picnic type dishes. The service was strained as they had only 3 servers for almost 50 plates to pour and serve at the same time. For $65 a plate...very disappointed in all of it.

Loved this location! I stopped by with my friends after going to medieval times. We had a party of 13, and they were able to seat us quickly. I love the vibe. It's spooky. The drinks were well made, and they also had food options available.Parking: There is a large parking lot available behind the bar. No issues with parking. Was able to park close by and enter the bar quickly.

I have to update my review due to their fabulous food. The chef only gets better over time. Each small plate is one delicious experience after another. Yes this is a bar and the cocktails are always fabulous but the food is definitely a scene from the movie Babette's Feast. Every time I experience these plates I feel like something special has just happened.

Came here for a bridal shower on Saturday. The place was pretty full, but our group had reserved the private room for our party. The ambiance is very on-point and fits the spooky/witchy theme of the bar. Our group ordered a bunch of food and drinks - many people ordered the French onion soup. The sliders were also popular. Several girls ordered the old fashioned drink, and I got the peach martini (see pic). I also ordered the fries with garlic Parmesan butter and ranch/ketchup. They were hot and crispy! The best part was dessert - the chocolate crème brûlée was great!! Service was very good - we had a variety of servers with one main guy (didn't get his name), but everyone was attentive. Overall we had a great time, the bar was perfectly themed and the room was a nice private area for our celebration.

I can't wait to go back! My buddies and I shared a few appetizers that were all fantastic. They had some unique bottles of booze that I hadn't seen before that went into a couple of great drinks I had. I can't remember more details than that, but it left me wanting to go back for more!! Service was great too. The ambiance is true to the name of the restaurant. It wasn't over the top at all.

Spooky! The drinks are decent and the ambience is spooky. I would love to see them ramp up the the ambience to make it a lot scarier

First time here been wanting to come here for so long and finally was able to! The drinks were so much fun I got the Cotton Candy Martini and the Pixie Dust cause it has glitter lol I couldn't say no! Our server was awesome Jenna she helped us! The food was ok not the best thing I ever tried but the atmosphere was so much fun. The french onion soup wasn't too salty it was very hardy. The Caesar salad was perfect and the fries nachos were good but they don't give you a lot. Absolutely loved the decor it was unique and Halloween vibes I loved it, I wanted to take so many pictures. The seat we got was next to the fireplace kinda hidden near the bathroom area All in all I loved the experience it was cool and so happy we were to finally make it here. Really enjoyed the drinks I definitely want to come back to try more. Everyone smiled and came and checked on us, but they did forget our sliders which is fine since I was getting pretty full. I like how they also have outside sitting area as well, it wasn't too busy for St. Patrick's day but they had a special menu just for today. I love the music they played as well definitely a vibe. :) I forgot to mention heard about this place a while ago and then when I made friends with my good Yelp friend Laurel T. and saw her amazing review for this place, made me want to check this place out even more! Thank you so much Laurel. I'm so happy we did loved it and love scary things so this place was right up my ally. The atmosphere is really beautiful I loved it dark and mysterious. Have a beautiful day :) I very much recommend coming here! I'm sure so many of you already have but it's awesome I want to go back for the pixie dust drink with sparkles! Thank you for your kindness and fantastic service will definitely come back! Aloha

Rachel is the Boss! Just left the Cauldron. Rachel is attentive, knows her drinks and wine list which helped me and the GF. Love the French theme with the apps. Not our 1st time there wont be the last. Ask for Rachel great service!
