    Very disappointing. We have been to Up Cellar two times before and the food was great. While the service is still great, and the wine list is big, the food did not measure up to prior trips. My friend had the Beef Tartare, and it was a big disappointment to him. I've seen him have it before and it is always prepared in a more impressive way, that even I would almost want to taste. Having just had Steelhead in Oregon a few weeks ago, it was pinkish orange and tasted great. The Steelhead here was plain white, not that good of a taste, and served skin side up. Very unappealing presentation. My Ribeye tasted great, and a good sauce, but was over 50% fat. Up Cellar has discontinued a bread basket for purchase. And has no sides for purchase with the meal. The only sides are the appetizers. Which was not made clear at the start. Adding to the disappointment, is we have been long time customers of the Taxman group, and always have had very good food.

    I would have given a higher rating if another tables’s bill hadn’t been accidentally charged to my card. (Fortunately it was fixed…eventually.)
    Up CellarResponded on 20 October 2026
    Douglas, thank you for sharing your feedback. While we're pleased you enjoyed the food and service, I sincerely apologize for the billing error and the time it took to resolve. That's certainly not the level of attention to detail we expect from our team. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will use your feedback to reinforce our checkout procedures and prevent similar issues in the future.

    This was the first time we had been back since the chef/menu change. We ordered the reverse seared ribeye and we had it made spicy. WOW! That was the one of the best steak preparations that we had had in a long time. The addition of the chili crisps was fabulous! We also had the Stracciatella, which was delicious! We are excited to try everything else on the menu. Kudos to the chef!
    Up CellarResponded on 20 October 2026
    Robin, thank you for such a wonderful review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the new menu, especially the reverse-seared ribeye with chili crisp and the Stracciatella. Chef Nicholas Murray has brought tremendous creativity and energy to our kitchen, and it's especially rewarding to hear such enthusiastic feedback on his dishes. We'll be sure to share your compliments with Nick and the culinary team. We truly appreciate your support and enthusiasm for this new chapter at Up Cellar!
