The food was ok. Not worth the price. Steak was dry and overcooked despite asking for medium-rare. Staff was very friendly.

A Hidden Gem in Northborough – Always a Delight!
Every time we visit Cellar Bar and Grill, it’s a fantastic experience from start to finish. The service is consistently warm and welcoming, and the owners are some of the nicest, most polite people you’ll ever meet. The food is simply outstanding.
The New York strip is cooked to perfection—juicy, tender, and full of flavor. I highly recommend pairing it with the baked carrots and house steak fries. But the real star of the appetizers is the grilled Spanish octopus—unbelievably tender, perfectly seasoned, and unforgettable. And just when you think it can’t get any better, dessert arrives like the cherry on top of a perfect evening. The almond cake (my favorite) and the blueberry cheesecake brulĂ© (my husband’s go-to) are both heavenly—light, flavorful, and the perfect sweet ending. We love to enjoy them with a glass of limoncello or a strong espresso. We always leave feeling happy, full, and eager to return. I highly recommend this wonderful spot to anyone looking for delicious food, a cozy atmosphere, and genuine hospitality.

Upscale feel to the restaurant, very nice outdoor patio. The food had a Mediterranean taste, there was still staples for the kiddos burgers, chicken tenders. Drinks were really well done also, they also have a seasonal martini!

We had a lovely dinner last night at the Cellar. Our server was Abby and she was excellent. She had great suggestions re: the menu and was very attentive, We began with straight up dirty martinis and shared the calamari, which Abby recommended. Delicious! My partner had the prime rib and it was probably some of the best prime rib I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked to medium rare and extremely tender. I had the mussels appetizer as my main and really enjoyed it. We ended with espresso martinis that were perfectly made. I highly recommend the Cellar if you’re looking for great food and service!

This place is a gem and we are so lucky to have such a restaurant in Northborough ❀ definitely the best restaurant in the area. The food is amazing, they have great specials and cocktails. My fav on the menu is the Spanish octopus. I'm from Spain and can assure you that this grilled octopus is top, well made, buttery, full of flavor. And if you are a dessert person do not miss their tiramisĂș. Now I'm hungry ;)

Dined here last evening. Wow! From the moment you walk in you feel the warmth of the atmosphere in this beautiful restaurant. Subtle music, warm welcome and lovely decor. The staff is helpful and friendly. The presentation on the dishes is beautiful. I hope that more people discover this gem in Northborough. As a business professional, this would be my go-to place to bring clients and business associates. The owners are hands on and it shows.

Loud but not a problem. I had the Australian Delight, which was ok-but not enough to consider again. The steak was cooked to my liking, but there was lots of gristle. I should have ordered the filet. My wife had the lamb and said it was excellent. Our friends had the filet and the bolognese, all very good.
Our server was great.

We went here for our anniversary dinner the food was good but our waitress Lorana was the bomb. She was attentive and friendly. But more than that, she was real. We fell in love with her, she is the reason we will return. The bar tender Steven was friendly but I have to work on him a little more, nice young man. All in all the staff was great. Very nice atmosphere.

The Cellar Bar & Grille has become a weekly tradition for my family, and it’s so much more than just a restaurant—it’s a place where we feel genuinely welcomed every time we walk through the door. The owners are truly some of the kindest, most gracious people you’ll ever meet. Their warmth sets the tone for the entire dining experience, and it’s clear how much they care about their guests and their restaurant.

The service is top-notch, every single time. The staff is attentive, friendly, and goes out of their way to make sure your meal is perfect. They remember faces, they remember favorites, and they make you feel like you’re part of their extended family.

And then there’s the food—it’s consistently incredible. My son can’t get enough of the buffalo chicken tenders (honestly the best we’ve ever had), and my daughter always saves room for her favorite blueberry cheesecake. The steaks are cooked to perfection, the prime rib is always tender, and the seafood and fresh pasta options are equally impressive. If the short rib is on special, do not miss it—it’s melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

The Cellar isn’t just a place to grab dinner; it’s a place to relax, enjoy great company, and feel taken care of. It’s become such a special spot for our family, and we’re so grateful to have it nearby. If you haven’t been, you’re truly missing out.

We hosted a holiday gathering The Cellar, and it was wonderful! The private room allowed us to spread out and let the grandkids run around, the holiday decor was beautiful, the staff was friendly, the food delicious, and the service couldn’t be better. Highly recommend!
