    Cool place to see, service was excellent, friendly staff. Ribeyes were decent, cooked the way they were ordered. Plenty of parking, I recommend reservations (we were only two people) so you dont have to wait up to 45 minutes.

    This was our first time having dinner at Cellar 55. We had a party of six for our daughters birthday celebration. We made reservations and were seated right away at a table with plenty of room. We ordered three appetizers, main courses, and three deserts as well as cocktails. We didn’t have to wait for any of our food. Everything was delicious and our service was wonderful. We definitely plan on dining here again.

    Delicious food! The arancini with the spring onion sauce quite flavorful and the shaved brussel sprout Caesar salad was one of the most flavorful Caesar’s we have ever had. The beef ragu lasagna quite delicious, though could have used more ragu. And the fried chicken piccata was a nice new take on a traditionally pan sautéed dish. The lemon tart with blueberries was again one of the best we’ve had, the pistacio blueberry crumble a nice surprise!! All servings were most generous. Only downside was the wine. Our first three choices were unavailable. Finally got a nice Willamette Pinot noir.
