Terrible service, mediocre food. Arrived at 6 (with a reservation); didn't get our food until abotu 7:15. The server said they were slow because "all the reservations arrived at once." Well, yes - isn't the point of a reservation that you know how many people are coming? As far as we could see, none of the other tables had their food either - and the place wasn't very big or completely full.
When the food finally came (with a gap of about 5 minutes from when the first was served to when the fourth person got her food), it was not worth the wait. One person had the pad thai, which was regular pasta noodles with no flavour but too much spice. I had the Cajun chicken with penne; the grilled chicken strips were okay and the cream sauce was inoffensive, but there was nothing Cajun about it.
All told we should have paid for our glasses of wine after waiting an hour and gone elsewhere to actually eat. The only reason this review averages out to 2 stars is the patio was pretty.
No ones meals were served at the same time, food was okay, presentation was nice. Our table ordered wings, bruschetta and spinach dip as appetizers. Would not recommend the wings, the buschetta wasn"t veru flavorful but the bread was ncie and soft. the spinach dip arrived half way through our entrees. One person ordered the pad thai was not impressed - last meal to arrive. Pad thai should be left for Asian recipes.
Been there for lunch on a weekend and it was so amazing. Perhaps they are not used to large groups on a weeknight. Huh....
I reviewed The Cellar 9 months ago after dining there with friends and I loved it! I returned today with my husband for a birthday dinner, prepared to love it again...but I couldn't. We started off with one of their beers on tap for him and a caesar for myself. They were both delivered promptly and were nicely chilled but the signature salted rim was conspicuously absent from my caesar. The caesar salad I ordered to start, however, was delicious. I followed it with the Cellar's orange roughy. The menu described it as "lightly dusted" and accompanied by a fruit salsa. When it arrived, it was not lightly dusted but decidedly breaded and fried past crisp to such a state that I had trouble cutting through the bottom portion of the breading with my knife. The delicate taste of the fish was completely masked by the breading and the taste of the oil it was fried in. It sat very heavy in my stomach after eating it, definitely not what I was expecting from an order of orange roughy. The "fruit salsa" was no kind of salsa at all, but a loose scattering of half-cooked sliced grapes (very strange!), whole blueberries and sliced strawberries which had been cooked down to a point where they were an unappetizing pale pink mush. The accompanying vegetables were cooked perfectly and delicious, the only saving grace of the plate. My husband's chicken curry entree arrived at least five minutes AFTER my fish entree had been served, leaving me to either start eating without him or wait while mine got cold. The waitress was very apologetic though clearly it was not her fault. It had a delicious sauce and once again fresh and perfectly cooked veggies, but the actual pieces of chicken, which appeared to be nothing more than small slices of previously cooked chicken breast that were added to the dish rather than cooked in the sauce, were few and far between. The patio overlooking the water is still a nice place to sit and maybe it was just an off night but I won't be hurrying back here. The food was miles below what I experienced on my first visit last year, and a real letdown because it was for a special occasion.
Perfect Balance of Atmosphere, Fine Food & Hospitality!
We had the pleasure to host a small Anniversary Party and no one was disappointed in our choice of venue. There were 14 in our party and Janet, the owner, was instrumental in pulling together a fine menu and seating for us to all enjoy some great food, wine and celebration. Everyone had the opportunity to enjoy the great patio and view of the river on which it backs on to (one of the few restaurants in Elora that has this feature). Our fresh, crisp and homemade Caesar Salad kicked off a feast for the senses! The kitchen staff and servers were able to deliver 14 hot meals all at the same time. Our party gave top marks to the Striploin Steak, the Salmon Wellington and Home-style Mushroom Chicken. If you can, take in the Jazz Band that entertains Sundays - it added to the ambiance nicely. The value and quality of the meal you receive makes this a great spot for a special occasion or simply a nice dinner out - I can't see there room for disappointment and their team doesn't seem to allow it either!
We enjoyed a very nice dinner here, recently, as the culmination to a lovely afternoon of shopping in Elora. We ordered wine, an appetizer to share, the same main course for each of us and the same dessert for each of us.
Great marks for the coconut shrimp. We were served seven plump and perfectly cooked shrimp, finished with coarse salt which really brought out the flavour. They were accompanied by a marmelade dipping sauce. The server delivered a basket of warm bread, served with a flavoured butter, consisting of carmelized onions that was absolutely delicious!
As promised, the schnitzel and mushroom reduction, was excellent. I'm used to the pork being pounded quite thin, but this version was thick, but quite tender and served with diced tomatoes that were sweet. My husband loved them and he really isn't fond of tomatoes. The spaetzle was a homey match for this dish and the side of sauteed chard was also cooked perfectly.
We were splurging on a daily calorie intake and so we ordered dessert, but I am sorry to say it was the weak part of the meal. We were assured that all desserts were made on site, however the pastry for the pecan tart was tough and the filling lacked flavour. It was served with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream and a homemade blueberry preserve smear for dipping.
Service was, a times distracted, but it in no way detracted from our enjoment of the evening. I think the server has a lot on her mind, the evening we were there, and her confusion and forgetfulness was an exception to what I am sure would be her normal good service, which we saw evidence of, as well. One thing that needed attention was the state of the table. The glass platter which served as a base for the salt/pepper and sugar container was in need of a good washing, as was the glass holder for the candle. The ledge around the side of the dining room housed a collection of knick-knacks that really needed a god dusting and reorganization. They looked like they had been placed with little attention given to the overall impact they would have on the room's ambience. Perhaps a collection of items, which could be culled from the unique stores in town, would have contributed to a nicer atmosphere, while at the same time advertising the local merchants and their wares.
Would I go back to this restaurant, again? You bet I would. The chef knows what he /she is doing and the patio would be a wonderful place to spend a few hours on a sunny day or moonlit evening when the weather warms up a bit!
