Cellar7 - American restaurant in Houston - 610 Main St, USA

This place has been bookmarked for a while for me to try. I got there 6:45pm on a Saturday and the restaurant was at 15% capacity. There were maybe 12 seats at the bar and 2 were occupied at the end of the bar. I sat in the middle. The bartender, Sam, was unprovokingly rude and condescending. She made drinks directly in front of me literally slamming the mixers together instead of using any other area of the bar. She spent majority of the time yelling orders to the staff as if she was completely overwhelmed by the amount of patrons. I initially asked her what happened to the risotto and she stated if its not plated then they ran out. (Why wasnt this communicated prior to me receiving my entree?) She became argumentative when i sent my food back telling me the rice i received was risotto. I dont argue with fools so my response was ok. I got the maple glazed salmon which came with vegetables and spanish risotto. Any person in their right mind knows this is not risotto. The salmon which i asked to be medium was cooked well done and tasted spoiled. I got the district as a drink and it tasted like concentrated lemon juice (i let my ice melt to dilute it). Im underwhelmed and appalled by my experience. Replace Sam.

Dropped in one whim.and pleasantly surprised. Nigel, the bartender, was professional, attentive, friendly. Made me a couple of his favorite drinks. You gotta try the blood orange & peach margarita! He seems like a great person and stff member! Started with the brussels appetizers. Deep fried...cooked well but not enough balsamic sauce and the sliced almonds were an afterthought. Pork Osso Bucco was ridiculous. I Gen l touched the meat and it fell off the bone. While the risotto could have been cooked for another 1-2 minutes, the flavor was absolutely on point. Asparagus was cooked fuen but a little bland.

This was a neat downtown restaurant and the ambiance was lovely. The menu had a broad selection of flavors. The crispy brussels sprouts were cooked perfectly and the the chipotle chicken was delicious, not too spicy but so flavorful. Portion sizes were reasonable and they weren't over priced. Our server was very attentive but not overly so which made our dinner relaxing before we headed to the theater.

Walked in while empty on a Saturday afternoon the team was welcoming, but bar/kitchen didn’t communicate well. The drinks we grabbed were excellent. Pinky Pinky 16 and Lavender Martini. We ordered a couple food items as everything on the menu sounded delicious. After waiting about 25 minutes or so. The hushpuppies came out, but they were very dry. The kale they were on top of was absolutely delicious. They missed our grilled oysters order, but the team didn’t communicate that or ask if we still wanted them. We waited another 5-10 minutes and they came out wrong. But having finished our drinks we didn’t want anything else we just wanted to leave. Would recommend for a beverage, but our food experience wasn’t worth trying again.

First time in, loved the ambiance, servers were super nice food was delicious! Will be back w/ friends and family to try dinner & drinks!

Good vibe, eclectic and mid century decor, unique drinks and great food! We had the arancini mushroom balls appetizer, lemon drop martini and old fashioned.

Lovely little spot in Downtown Houston for a nice brunch and excellent cocktails. Gave their chocolate bitters old fashioned a try and it was everything I hoped for given the description. The food itself could have used a bit more seasoning and overall flavor but it wasn't a meal I regret. Would come back for a cocktail or two in the future.

Yummy!! Will definitely be back here. The service was first class and the food 10/10!! Had Calamari & Crab Cake Starters. Lamb chops with asparagus for main.
