“We came here on a whim for a celebratory dinner.”

We came here on a whim for a celebratory dinner. Our server was the most helpful! We had the loveliest meal with late summer ingredients and really interesting wines. When we got our panna cotta, I couldn’t believe how much flavor came from this simple and unassuming dessert. A new favorite restaurant!

“Dishes were creative and unique, had amazing flavor profiles.”

Dishes were creative and unique, had amazing flavor profiles. I absolutely love the lamb carpaccio, never had raw lamb before, it was cured well and paired with gooseberries that popped in the mouth and cut through the greasiness. Mussels were also mind blowing with the taste and creativity. Everything was fantastic until the blue prawns get in the way, they were still kinda raw I know that’s how some places do it but I felt uncomfortable eating raw shrimps, and desserts were subpar. However overall it’s amazing and definitely worth going back for new menu rotations

“We had a guest from out of the country.”

We had a guest from out of the country. We allowed Chef Megan to design our meal menu. We were not disappointed! The dishes were all unique and delicious. Great service from entry to exit. The owner/chef personally delivers numerous dishes to each table. A true Gem

“Quaint, fresh and delicious.”

Quaint, fresh and delicious. New and delectable recipes and food combinations. Most everything is freshly made on the premises, including the crusty rustic rye bread. My steak tartare was filled with intriguing flavors and very fresh meat. The charred broccoli was graced with a special creamy garlic sauce that was deliciously out of this world.

“I've been avoiding writing a review for Cellar Door, because really no words could do it justice.”

I've been avoiding writing a review for Cellar Door, because really no words could do it justice. The only draw back is, after eating here, you'll be left thinking "Why didn't I just go to Cellar Door instead?" It's a life changing experience that will make you forever recognize the mediocrity of Nookies, Ann Sather's and their ilk which may have satisfied you before. Every time I’m left wondering “how is such a perfect combination of flavors even possible?”

“Delicious, vegetable-forward meal in a cozy (but not cramped) environment.”

Delicious, vegetable-forward meal in a cozy (but not cramped) environment. Everyone in our party loved the bread plate, and the radicchio ice cream was surprising and tasty.

“Recommend going as soon as you can.”

Recommend going as soon as you can. Best dish I’ve had in Chicago in a while. Enjoyed the cardoon dip, the flatbread was perfection. Had to order breads and scones to go- because I had a feeling it was going to be splendid.

“Absolutely wonderful baked goods and small tasting menu purveyor, using abundant local produce.”

Absolutely wonderful baked goods and small tasting menu purveyor, using abundant local produce. The breads (and spreads) are a particular highlight, with a perfect crust and density inside!
