The Cellar at Duckworth's

Tara Hubara

The decor, music, and ambiance take you back to a classy manhattan speak easy vibe. The cocktails are creative and the wine selection is plentiful. we sat at the bar and the two bar tenders were very friendly attentive! The hostess however was dry, cold, and rude - not the person I would want greeting guests. The food was good but not "life-changing". A little too much salt for me. But I would go back for the vibe.

Smoked whiskey sour is where it's at. The filet is better than any in the area, hands down. Find a place where history, culture, great food, and incredible cocktails come together sparing no expense for the sake of saving practice and quality of what dining and craft cocktails are intended to be. The waitstaff are knowledgeable, immensely hospitable, and down to earth. If you want to experience fine dining without the stiff atmosphere, this is the place for you.

The atmosphere and service was great. Thus the stars. Our server Alyssa was great, took care of us well. I came for the food, and my review goes specifically to the food I ordered. All based on my palate and my eating experience. Appetizer: ordered the char grilled oyster, it was inviting, plating was nice and good sized portion. My main course was the crispy skin Scottish salmon. The salmon was cooked nicely, skin was ok crispy, the salmon needs more seasoning, and the lentils did not have the elements to complement the salmon. By then I have already decided to skip dessert. Tasting my family's order of other dishes, I discovered that we had similar thoughts on the food. Some are too heavily seasoned, some are light. All in all, we received a close to Michelin restaurant bill, but not quite the taste. I believe, that the atmosphere and the services, if paired with a higher standard of food, will be able to elevate the place to a M standard. Hopefully, the kitchen will take this in a good way, and God willing my next visit will be better. FYI I wouldn't be writing this review if the price was not at this level, my expectation would be different given a lower price point for the menu. Readers if you do not agree with my review, just move on. Thank you and blessings

This place has a gigantic list of cocktails and bottled beers. The food was phenomenal and the service was even better. Our server was able to make wonderful suggestions on cocktails and dishes that he knew we would like, as well as pairing options for the many bottles in their beer cellar. It was clear that he had a nearly encyclopedic knowledge of everything The Cellar had to offer and could answer any question. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and the candied bacon was a wonderful treat. This isn’t a place to visit if you’re in a hurry - it’s for savoring and taking in the atmosphere. It’s a pricier spot, but worth the money for the fine service and steaks. If you’re looking for something at a lower price point, or to have a more casual evening, Duckworth’s upstairs is a much better fit.
