This is a great spot for craft cocktails! We came here before dinner elsewhere, and the service was quick and kind. I had the Fig in a Blanket, which was unique and delicious, along with an espresso martini and a raspberry martini. Everything was fabulous! While we didn’t eat here, the food smelled divine. It does get busy, but we arrived near opening and had no trouble getting a seat at the bar. Looking forward to returning next time we’re in town!

Dishes lacked flavor, the atmosphere was loud and dated, extremely overpriced for what you get. This restaurant wants to be a high end place you’d find in a metro area but lands at trying too hard without succeeding.

This was a very expensive meal. That being said, it was worth every penny. The food and drinks were spectacular! My group showed up and was welcomed by friendly staff, we had questions about wine and the owner came out and talked to us for 10 minutes, we ordered apps, food, wine, dessert, and everything else we could imagine. Next time im in NY I am definitely going back
The meals were splendid for the entire party of 6. Two patrons required gluten free meals and the waiter was so knowledgeable about the diet and made sure they were served a safe meal. Just a pleasant and enjoyable experience. Thank you.

Scallops were cooked just right, very fresh and flavorful. Accompanying vegetables also just right, neither chewy or soggy. Moussaka very interesting, with pomegranate seeds. Not the flavors I'm used to but excellent. Generous portion. Accompanying little bread pouches seemed unnecessary and underwhelming. He had the burger and I stole some of his amazing fries. Two lava cakes among the three of us were the perfect ending. Accompanying salted caramel ice cream had more flavor and better texture than any I've tasted. Service was perfect even though we arrived late.

We have eaten here several times over the years and brought many friends and family. 95% of the time the food and service is excellent. There was one or two times we came that the food was not as we would've expected. However, last night was phenomenal. The bartender, the hostess and our server were beyond excellent. The food was amazing with dishes that we had not seen previously, which was a welcome treat. It is so helpful to have so many gluten free and vegan choices without the risk of comprising taste. The wine selection is excellent, and our server was able to help us come up with a wine, which would pair with everyone's courses. We had never brought our current guests there before, and they were exceedingly happy with our choice of restaurant and the experience of the evening. I would say it was one of the best nights we've had in a restaurant. Thanks so much.

I had found this restaurant while looking for a good place to eat in Corning. Love the small plate options so you can try several different things. Gwen was wonderful, and they have a great bourbon selection! She started me off with Some More, an old fashioned served with a toasted marshmallow and a graham cracker/chocolate combination on part of the rim. Delicious! From there I went to the Lamb Lollipops and the Marcona Almonds & Coriander. The lamb was succulent and tasty, and the combination of the coriander toasted with the almonds was a nice surprise. I wouldn't have thought about doing that, but they worked well together. Trying to stay healthy, I went with the House Salad with the Cayuga Bleu Cheese, and it was perfect. A great salad, it's nice to be able to eat healthy and still have something that tastes this good! Then for dessert I did a small spoonful of the Salted Caramel gelato, just the right size for a bite of something sweet without going overboard, and so smooth and delightful. I'll definitely be going back if I'm in town again!

I’ve been living in Corning for 30 yrs and this is easily one of my favorite restaurants. I’m vegan but my husband is not, and we both can get a delicious fresh meal! We both love the vegan cheese board. Wow! And the drinks! Expansive! The owners are great people who know how to run a restaurant. My friend even had her wedding here! Don’t miss this treat if you are coming to visit The Crystal City.

My husband and I had a fantastic dinner at The Cellar for our anniversary. We started with cocktails, I had the Moon Dance (sloe gin fizz) and my husband had the Cowboy Bebop (amaro negroni), both were delicious! For food, we decided to do all small plates and share them. We started with the beets with pistachio butter, clementine jam, marcona almonds, and baguette - so good! We also had the brussels and walnuts with brown butter and balsamic reduction and the duck tacos with pomegranate salsa, both were incredible. We then had the poutine and shrimp with lemon garlic butter sauce. The fries in the poutine were absolutely perfectly fried and crispy and the au poivre gravy was great, if not just a hint on the sweeter side so we opted to dip the fries in it instead of pouring it over them. It was the best of both worlds - the slight sweetness of the gravy with the crispy, salty fries - absolute heaven. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and that sauce... We mopped it up with the pillowy focaccia and were in heaven. For dessert, our server, Lisa, recommended the dark chocolate lava cake and it was the perfect way to end our meal. The cake had delightfully crispy edges and the molten center was gooey and sweet. The saltiness of the ice cream offset the sweetness of the cake perfectly. Lisa's service was friendly and attentive, especially given the fact that the restaurant was absolutely packed while we were there. We would happily return to The Cellar in the future and would recommend it to others!

The Cellar in Corning, NY, offers a wonderfully eclectic menu. The food was delicious—especially the chicken and waffles, which were a standout. We were seated in the bar area, so it was a bit loud, but it didn’t detract from the overall experience. There are plenty of vegetarian options, which was great for one member of our party. Definitely worth a visit!

This restaurant would easily succeed in NYC. This is one of the best foods we have ever had. Brussel sprouts were cooked to perfection and they were not burned or looked like a charcoal. Duck tacos were simply delicious. House salad with added Feta cheese was exceptional. We ordered Sea scallops, Harissa Cauliflower and Ricotta Gnocchi, and each dish was cooked to perfection. Gnocchi were cooked in some kind of broth and I have never seen for it to be cooked that way, but my daughter said that this is the best Gnochhi she ever had. We found service staff at the restaurant to very nice and helpful. Hope to be back if we would be in the area again.
