The only thing REALLY cool about this place is that it's underground. Our visit to the Cellar was not too impressive. We sat at the bar and had some kind of overpriced shrimp and mushrooms served in a strange sauce. It was not what I was expecting. I ordered a beer and the bartender seemed nice enough, but he also seemed like he was burned out after working behind that particular bar for what must be 20 years. The beer was served in a bottle and, as usual, overpriced. A glance at the menu revealed some VERY expensive dinners. I was SHOCKED to see that these prices were twice what Carlsbad Tavern or Richardson's was. However, it was kind of neat to see this one "old school" patron choose his LOBSTER out of the tank. The timid hostess grabbed the LOBSTER with a net and scurried back the the kitchen was a look of "ewwww" on her face. So, on a 10 scale, this place was about a 7 when I was hoping for a 9. At least the atmosphere was good and the smell was nice. :)
