The Cellar

In Corning, your options are somewhat limited. So if you have the time, this can be a good place to eat. But if you eat in the bar area, it's more of a subway atmosphere, where people will be bumping into you as they wait for your seat. The recommendations from the waitress on what to try seemed to be more based on their price, and less on their taste. The appetizer came out after the entrees and it all felt fairly disorganized, as they tried to figure out how to get our order and deliver it to our table. We were there on a very busy night, but honestly, if you can't operate well when you're busy, how can you operate when you're not? I think the test of a good restaurant is how well they do on busy nights, and this was the night of Sparkle, when they knew they would be busy. It just didn't live up to the hype and we won't be returning until such a time as we have no other options.

Great selection of wines, craft beers, liquor, and martinis! Nice atmosphere - quite relaxing. The staff is really courteous and they all have great personalities. One of my favorite places to drink of all time!

Very good! The variety of food was refreshing, especially for a really nice restaurant. I was definitely under dressed though.

They use a wine dispenser cooler, which is cool to see, but half the time that means the wine is stale. The atmosphere is nice, the food usually good. It's not 5 stars by any means, but if you don't know what 5 stars looks like you'd think it was a 4.

I have a very clean palate and sensitive digestive system - and deeply appreciate food made with love and clean ingredients. The food was amazing, and I feel fantastic - I'd give this place 6 stars, if I could.
