I go to a lot of restaurants for work and, Cella is easily one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. Never have I looked at a menu where I wanted to order every single dish - until now. Had duck confit leg and braised beef cheeks and they were absolutely incredible. Their chef Cal is extremely talented and their waitstaff was equally as great!
Of all the high-end restaurants in the Monterey/Carmel area, this is one of our absolute favorites. Everything we ordered this evening was fantastic: rack of lamb with potato gratin, rigatoni with oxtail ragu, red wine braised beef cheek, baby lettuce salad with Gruyère and a perfect vinaigrette, a beet salad, and an unbelievable crème brûlée. The cocktails and wine were also excellent.
We will definitely be back!

Excellent menu; enthusiastic and helpful staff. This was the perfect place for a quiet, celebratory dinner with me and my sister. Perfect way to treat ourselves. Also: Exceptional cocktails and desserts!
