Laura RoosJune 26, 2013The Cellar is cozy and perfect for a glass of wine, a few nibblies, and good conversation. All the apps we had were good, and the worlds best Mac and cheese was definitely up there. Nice service, too.Upvote6Downvote
Courtney LewisMay 22, 2016Cheese plates, kale salad and the famous mac and cheese are all my favorites here. Plus they have excellent cocktails! Date worthy spot but good for a pricier happy hour, too.Upvote1Downvote
BlondEATSDecember 15, 2016Go for the cocktails stay for the mac and cheese! Definitely tops the chart as some of the best in NYC. Special shoutout to the burratta with the honey balsamic glaze 😍

Delicious Mac and cheese. Pork belly isn't anything too special but the mushroom and cauliflower are AMAZING.Upvote2Downvote
Kevin GrantNovember 23, 2017I love this place for lunch, never been for dinner. The Patty Melt is spot on. Order one of the mac and cheeses to share with the table (or maybe 2 if you're feeling hungry!)UpvoteDownvote
The Corcoran GroupNovember 7, 2013We love the happy hour here, since it features $5 specialty cocktails, $6 glasses of wine, AND $7 mac and cheese (enough for a meal!). Make sure to come early before the place fills up.Upvote5Downvote
Melanie BouleyFebruary 3, 2015Just one block from my office, this joint is my happy hour jam. Get the $5 cocktail or the $6 Cabernet with the cheese plate or mac & cheese at $8 a pop and is perfect to split with a friend/date.UpvoteDownvote
Audra A.August 7, 2014Incredible happy hour. The simple salad was a perfect for 3 people to split, and then each had their own Mac and Cheese. That plus a few drinks each... Out the door for $100.Upvote1Downvote

Paige CDecember 7, 2017Their lunch menu is delicious. It’s a great spot for a (lunch) meeting because they have free WiFi! Try the tomato soup or the burrata.UpvoteDownvote
Solid GoldJanuary 11, 2013Drink: players club. The name lets u know it's going to be good. The bartender... I fell in love @hello. Food, I had the steak, Mac & cheese, ppl don't lie. It was divine! I'll come back for all 4 ;)UpvoteDownvote

All the mac and cheese is phenomenal but don't miss out on the flatbreads and ever wonderful entrees.Upvote1Downvote- DoubleDeuceAugust 27, 2017A little bit darker as you come downstairs so it's a little more charming. It's also usually busier than the upstairs.UpvoteDownvote

"A nice decorated atmosphere. The black label burger lives up to the hype a very unctuous meaty burger. The bone marrow is a great start and don't forget to leave room for dessert."
