by Sharon R. on So...I know there are a good deal of bad reviews out here, but I agree with one reviewer who said it is what you make of it. We went with a large group for a birthday celebration. They were able to seat all of us (24 people) in the open air atrium, which proved to be quite festive for the occasion. The small plates at Cellar 56 were good..but they are small plates...so be warned. We went upstairs to dance and had a great time. Again...our group was fun and we were not looking to be entertained by the people there. The guys had a sports bar to hang....so everyone had fun and a place to be comfortable. The girls had a blast dancing...the music was perfect. It ended up being a great location for everyone...and the entire group had a great time. I almost changed our plans from the reviews...but glad I didn't. Don't shoot it down simply by the reviews...If you have fun laid back people going...you WILL have fun.
by Joelle Hecker on WTF.....$11 for a long island ice tea? Come on son!!! Ok....decided to hit this spot up for a friends birthday to see what all they hype was about. Got there and the rest of the party wasnt there, so the hostess recommended sitting at the bar, because they will NOT seat you until your entire party is there. Thus....$11 for a long island ice tea. So...had the turkey burger. Average at best. Finally tried one of the best shakes ever. I had the one with the liquor, but the name skips my mind now, but it was good. Parking is minimal and tight unless they have another lot somewhere else that I didnt notice. Have you notice that car mfg keep makin cars bigger and bigger and the parking lot designers keep makin spaces smaller and smaller. Overall, I'd probably go here again, because the wati staff is efficient, and got my order right...but it wouldnt have to be a must go. I really thought the burgers were going to be supurb...but mostly everyone in my party thought the burgers were average at best. One thing I did miss was the fried okra. Several people told me that its some of the best fried okra they've ever had, but alas...the lady told me it was seasonal.
