The Cellar Restaurant & Bar On The River

Our first time at the cellar restaurant. And the food was awesome. Our waitress could use a little more ambition, I had to ask for a drink refill 3 times. But she partnered with another waitress who was also the owner, and she was very responsive. A most enjoyable experience and would recommend this place to everyone.

Last night my family and I went out here for dinner! This place had such a nice and calm atmosphere, which was perfect after a long week of work! Our waitress, Cassondra was so sweet and helped us with anything we needed! She was so great that I would recommend asking for her specifically! The food was absolutely amazing and worth the money! I would highly recommend!

Pretty good restaurant, very pricy though. The atmosphere is phenomenal, and we only experienced service at the bar area but the bartender was courteous and quick with our requests. The food is good, but the portion sizes are a bit disappointing. I got the surf and turf filet mignon with pan-fried scallops, and while I expected the filet mignon to be small, I only got 3 scallops, 2 small roasted potatoes, and like 10 green beans as sides, for a big price. My favorite was my starter, the fried mac and cheese with the jalapeno jam was a delight. Overall the prices here are a bit on the high side, but most of the food is worth it; my friend got smoked salmon, however, and it wasn't smoked at all (no char on it). He got it sent back and the chef was courteous enough to provide him with shrimp, and properly smoked salmon (that had a char this time). They have a superb selection of beer and cocktails, I loved everything I tried. It's a nice place to stop for dinner, but expect it to break your wallet a bit.

Good food and drinks. I usually sit at the bar to eat. They also have a Sunday brunch which is nice if you sit on the back porch facing the river. I had the corned beef hash skillet which was too salty (the corned beef). My friend had the Mediterranean omelet which he thoroughly enjoyed. The backdoor omelet was good.

I’ve always enjoyed the cellar, but was a little worried when on a Saturday night we were notified they were short staffed. The food did take longer than it normally does, however, the quality was still excellent. The drinks were great, the bread was fresh, and the service, while slower, was still as courteous as ever. Still highly recommend

What a fabulous evening we had! We were heading home after a road trip and was staying in Owego for the night. Made reservations and grateful to have gotten in. I had the monkfish special and my husband had the filet mignon. It was all fabulous! The fish was so fresh and the flavor combination of lemon, olives, and celery, was brilliant. So delicious! The house salad was phenomenal but the dressing?? So good we bought a bottle to take home. Our server Sandy was attentive, helpful, and so friendly. We will definitely be back! I highly recommend this restaurant! Make sure you make reservations, this is a very popular restaurant!

Ohmigosh, love, love The Cellar! I don't think I've had one thing on the menu that isn't delicious! The owner is the chef, which is always so impressive to me, and he clearly takes great pride in his work, rightfully so. Service is always friendly and timely, and you can always count on an extraordinary meal.
