What Theo Muller doesn't like about The Cellar:
I’ve been to the Cellar before. The menu has changed- less small plates, prices higher. My salmon was fine, but nothing special. Same for the burger. Disappointing experience. View all feedback. What hungryhippo likes about The Cellar:
My only complaint is that it was very cold..had to keep my jacket on the entire time.was near a window and breeze was coming right thru the glass. I shut the blind to stop the breeze and staff opened it again. They didn't seem to care that we were very cold. Other people had their coats on too, not just our table. View all feedback.

Tables to close together for party of 2. They seem to have a desire to get parties in and out in a dedicated amount of time, you don't feel relaxed or welcomed.

The Cellar restaurant in Evanston offers a pleasant dining experience with good food and friendly service. While some dishes like the scallops and stuffed shrimp were enjoyed by guests, others like the overdone salmon and lackluster lobster bisque fell short. The atmosphere was cozy and the bartenders were attentive, but some guests found the restaurant to be a bit chilly, especially near the windows. Overall, The Cellar seems to be a moderately priced option with potential for improvement in consistency and attentiveness to guest comfort.

The server on more than one occasion attempted to take plates with food from the table. This made me feel very rushed.

I wanted to like this place when we returned to it but our experience was disappointing. We both ordered a soup course first and the French onion lacked onions...
