FAQ
More information
The Cellar Door occupies two adjoining town-front spaces, which creates a series of small, intimate dining nooks rather than one big room — this is why window seats are prized and why meals often feel quietly personal. Regulars also mention occasional surprise treats from the kitchen, so tell staff if you’re celebrating and you might get a chef’s flourish.
