We had an amazing dinning experience. Chloe, our server, exceeded all expectations, her recommendations were spot on and she provided us with great service. I had an Old Fashioned which is the best I have had. We ate the jumbo shrimp cocktail and beet salad to start and they were delicious. As a main course our group had the stuffed mountain trout, braised short rib and shrimp and grits, no leftovers were available! We shared the bomba for dessert, it took a bit because it was frozen hard, but it was perfect when they brought it to the table.

I wish it was informed by the restaurant staff ahead that preferred quite time schedules are post 9:00pm. We came in at 7:00 pm on Wednesday and the all the tables were full with clients which is great for the business but it was pretty noisy. It was so noisy that Chinese Buffet noise level was much elegantly elevated compared to what I experienced at Fahrenheit that night. People come here to have a romantic date/anniversary and high level meetings. Unfortunately I couldn’t feel such elegancy vibe during our visit due to the high noise level by the other tables around. Maybe having a classical music in background can help to let people know to calm it down bit

About the restaurant

The Cellar at Duckworth’s combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of specialty and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are hand crafted to order by our mixologists. Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. We hope to take you back in time for a bit while enjoying good food and drink with friends and family.

Fantastic meal! Great ambience and service! We started with the Ground Duck Flatbread and both of us agreed that we should cancel the rest of our order and just get two of those. Amazing combination of flavors. Our entrees did not disappoint. I had Grouper and my partner had steak. Both were cooked perfectly. Our waitress was wonderful and suggested drinks for us as well as kept our water glasses full. She was attentive without being in our face. We will definitely go again! They don’t have parking but there is a large parking garage at the same corner.
