10/10 the best steak around. Beautiful atmosphere, excellent staff, and perfect food. Do make reservations especially on a weekend.

I’m SO confused. All the reviews gush about how fresh and amazing the food is. The “salad” is VERY dripping wet mess of bagged iceberg lettuce on a plastic plate with a plastic condiment tub of dressing that you serve yourself from a plastic bowl dish with tongs. Ritz crackers in a basket? Charbroiled shrimp that tastes like 1/2 water 1/2 sweet baby Ray’s got slathered on it and then microwaved? A steak that has no seasoning whatsoever, and even though it was ordered medium rare, it arrived very medium well. The table next to us sent their steak back because it wasn’t done enough, and asked for well done. One would expect that for the price, somebody knew how to grill a steak, but you’d be wrong.
The bathroom looks worse than a dirty gas station bathroom on the side of an old highway where they give you the key attached to an old hubcap. The “faux” brick wallpaper?? The dark as hell atmosphere, so you can’t see the cracking paint? I kept looking around wondering if maybe these people (who literally packed the vestibule and bar waiting for tables) had all suffered some tragic head injury that made them lose their taste buds. Why were they paying crazy prices for terrible food?!? Had they EVER left Geneseo, so they had never been to an actual restaurant that served actual SALAD and actual bread sticks that weren’t 80’s style Ritz crackers? Had these people ever even heard of a tomato for Pete’s sake? Or lettuce that’s actually green and has nutrients?
This place makes me want to dedicate the rest of my life to inventing a time machine so I can go back in time and make whatever choices in life will ensure I don’t ever go to The Cellar. They smashed our group of 5 at a table for 4, even though a nice big round table for 6 sat empty right next to us the entire time we were there. I spent my meal halfway in the aisle between 2 tables, desperately wishing I was anywhere else.
Shout out to the water boy, though. He was killing it and doing a bang up job cleaning tables too. Seriously. 10/10 for that kid.

We enjoyed the bar and the lovely Bartender pre meal, she was wonderful and funny! Our waitress was fantastic and the meal……. OUTSTANDING! Steak special was so tender and delicious. Another person at our table had shrimp and ribs and also stated it was excellent. Their salads were great and the home made dressings were off the chart. Then they brought out these delightful Carmel cinnamon rolls…………needless to say, I will happily drive an hour to visit this restaurant! What a treat. We went on a Wednesday evening with a party of 6 and was able to have a wonderful un rushed visit there. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A lovely place with a vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff. The food arrived quickly and was seasoned perfectly. The cocktails were refreshing and beautifully presented. Prices were fair for the quality. A great spot for both casual and special meals.

Absolutely Killer-Great charcoal orange roughy!! It was like a plate-full of flaked lobster, incredible! With drawn butter & lemon, perfectly prepared, served Hot, Really incredible! You know their steaks are fabulous–have one of you order orange roughy & share the excellent “surf & turf!”
Baked potato was perfect, chicken livers are always the perfect treat, we would go for those alone. Thank you thank you Cellar, for staying true & excellent!

Very good food. Great service. They do need to turn the lights up a bit so reading the menue would be easier. I had to use the flashlight on my phone to read the menue.

If you want the best Steak in Illinois and most likely Iowa, look no further. Their fillet is so freaking tender it cuts like butter. The flavor is beyond words. Hands down one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. I’ve eaten at some Prime Steak Houses that don’t compare to The Celler. Don’t expect a super fancy place inside. It’s a bit outdated, but don’t let that stop you. The prices is reasonable for the quality you get. You can dress up if you like or go in your jeans. You won’t look out of place. The service is also top notch here. Fast Friendly and very attentive. If you aren’t in the mood for a steak, their chicken breast is great. My wife also loves their salmon. You will not leave hungry!

My husband took me to The Cellar for Mother’s Day! It was Fabulous! They have the freshest salad with amazing garlic or green goddess dressing. Their cheese spread appetizer is one of a kind! They serve a unique and out of this world charbroiled shrimp dinner! We can’t wait to return!
