| - My mister and I have a yearly tradition of grabbing a bite to eat off Tryon before Bachtoberfest at the Symphony, and this year the Cellar was our choice. I vacillated with giving either a 3-star or or 4-star review based on some highs and lows of our experience, but decided to round up because I definitely want to go back.
We managed to snag seats at the bar, which we were excited about watching the bartenders work their magic.There are certainly some inventive cocktails on the menu, but it was tough to share the iPad between two people when we both wanted to oogle the drink list. It would be helpful to maybe stick to a traditional paper menu for the cocktails since those are more limited in choice compared to the beer list.The bartenders were super friendly with us, but we definitely heard them kvetching about co-workers and other patrons. This was amusing for us to listen to, but probably not the most appropriate behavior on their part.
Everything on the food menu sounded great, so we had some tough choices to make. We settled on the shrimp and grits, truffle fries, scallops, and brussel sprouts.We enjoyed everything that we ordered, but, the pacing was a bit off. The fries came out like almost immediately, the scallops and shrimp and grits came out maybe 15 minutes later, but the brussel sprouts didn't arrive for maybe another 20 minutes after that. We honestly had debated about canceling them because it had taken so long in comparison to everything else that we had ordered.
