   First time we had eaten there. I had read the reviews and noted that some were good while others had several complaints. I must say we were completely satisfied with Spoon and Cellar. Our host sat us right away and Lilly, our server came to our table promptly and greeted us. We can't say enough about Lilly. She was a joy to have as our server. She readily engaged us in conversation . The food was just what we expected. My wife had the salmon and she said it was excellent. I had the French Dip and it was great too. Stupid me, I left my card in the bill book and Lilly noticed this and she ran us down to return it to me. Thank You Lilly. We will go back.

   We had dinner here after a matinee at the Aranoff Center, from which this restaurant is a short walk. It's in a modern hotel, but the building design separates the restaurant fully from the lobby area, and the street view is appealing. Our server was prompt and attentive, and the food -- one diner had a filet and the other a salmon -- was cooked to perfection and very tasty! The cost was appropriate and definitely not inflated. This was definitely not a noisy place when we were there, which is just to my liking since it was easy to have a conversation. I would rate this restaurant a good value for very good food. We will go to Spoon & Cellar again in the future. Thanks!

   No host. Not a customer in sight. Only a bartender who is hidden behind a giant sculpture. The bartender was very casual, shouted to his coworker and had trouble reading the crowd with his jokes and “wit”. Food was tasty although plated like a diner.

   We had a great start to our girls night. We requested a more private booth and staff accommodated us. Our server, Nick, was so much fun. The cocktails were so tasty and the food was phenomenal. We had the filet and salmon. Everyone at the table finished their plate. Thanks for a great evening.

   Food was wonderful, drinks were fantastic, and service was excellent. We were running a bit late before going to see a show so we rushed our server, Nick, a bit but he understood and did an excellent job. Nick is top notch and with his personality he made our dining experience very fun. We hope to go back and request Nick as our server. If you haven’t been to Spoon and Cellar, try it - you won’t be disappointed!

   It was great! At first, it was hard to find someone who could seat us for our reservation. We ended up just sitting at the bar. It was pretty dead inside so we were worried but the food was great! We got appetizers, a salad, and pasta. I had a glass of wine and it was all great; a little pricey for the quality of food but definitely a cute spot downtown that deserves more attention.

   Service was great. Food was just okay. May be why we could get a reservation last minute in downtown on a weekend. All other places were booked.

    The drinks were great, and the food was pretty good it would have been better but my wife's filet was like a hokey puck. She ordered it Medium and it came out well done. She didn't want to say anything and have to wait for the food to be re-cooked because we were running short on time due to a show we were going to see. Service was fine. The manager was seen going around and asking tables how their food was which was a good thing. If the Steak was cooked properly it would have been a 4 star review. I am positive that if we spoke to the manager she would have fixed the issue immediately. Overall I would recommend I just wouldn't expect the place to blow your socks off.

    Our server started off very kind and very knowledgeable about the questions we had for her. However our trip turned horrible very quickly. We got there at 5:30 pm and ordered a round of cocktails and we had one person with us who couldn’t drink and our server took it with grace and found a mocktail she loved. Then when we asked about wine she got the bartender for us, who we absolutely adored and he was fantastic! As he brought the wine over and tended to us we had put in 2 appetizer orders around 5:45. By 6:15 we had not been checked on nor had we received our appetizers. When we had arrived the dining room was empty and soon our server had 3 other tables, completely understandable she was busy but she avoided our table after the bartender had checked on us. By 6:30 we began to worry our food hadn’t been put in and the bartender happened to walk by and was concerned we hadn’t been checked on by our server. Finally a “manager” (I use that word loosely because he actions didn’t show he was of manager material) walked over while he had food in his mouth and was chewing he said sorry for the wait I can buy you a round of drinks. We explained we had a play to get to and couldn’t wait, that we needed the bill. He came back tossed a bill at us and walked away before we could explain that it wasn’t our bill. I was talking to him trying to explain what we got and he turned his back to us and walked away as I was speaking. Finally a real manager walked over and kindly spoke to us that since we had only received drinks in the hour and 15 minutes we had been there that our check would be taken care of. I explained to him that we weren’t upset at the server because we understood she was new and we loved the bartender but the “manager” that had approached us while chewing food and walked away while we were talking to him was the issue. I had never felt so disrespected and disgusted at a “managers” appearance. The second manager who was in a brown tweed jacket was kind!

    Food and service was good but...Restaurant is attached to the Holiday inn on the edge of downtown. Huge restaurant that was nearly empty with only a few diners. Lighting was too bright. Can recommend food but not the ambiance.

    We were celebrating an anniversary and the staff made the evening exceptional! The mixed cocktails were amazing, they even made me a specialty drink that was featured a month ago even though it was listed as unavailable. The food portions were substantial for the prices too. We both had appetizers, the Street Tacos-YUM! As well as the burgers. She had a Veggie burger that didn’t taste like meat, which is the way she likes it and I had the Cellar Burger with Applewood Bacon Jam. We left with our stomachs full and satisfied. Great job!

    Just a bar meal hamburger and fries. Burgers were very tasty - actually a bit to large for us - quite a value. Fries were perfect and hot. Kyle behind the bar was on top of everything. Ambiance was typical bar,. 6 or 7 folk at a long very nice bar with the KC-LA game on two TVs. Comfort food quiet evening

    Confusion as to who was our waiter at first. Then waiter was pushing us to order minutes after sitting down. Ordered drinks first, then food. Food came out before drinks, with no silverware or napkins. Drinks came later, one incorrect, one with lipstick marks all over the wine glass. Food was over cooked and very bland. Used to really enjoy this restaurant, but food quality and attention to detail are totally lacking.

    Surprisingly for a Saturday evening, it was very slow, maybe it picks up later as it was only 5:30pm. Service was decent average. Ordered street tacos. Were nothing to boast about. Entrée I had the salmon which was very good, cooked just right and vegetables accompanying were tasty also. Date ordered the cajun pasta w/chicken, which I found just ok. It sounded really good, but just delivered flat and average to me. Had a side salad with a poppyseed dressing that was very tasty also.
