• Gastro Pub • Uptown

Booked 41 times today

The Cellar at Duckworth’s combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of specialty and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are hand crafted to order by our mixologists. Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. We hope to take you back in time for a bit while enjoying good food and drink with friends and family.

Every time I go to Rooster’s I love it. I am a regular there with my husband and my one year old. It is a great place for families, but oddly enough, it is a great spot for a date night too. The versatility of this place is unmatched.

We decided to try C & W Steakhouse to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary and had a great experience. Honestly after reading some of the previous reviews we almost canceled but decided to see or taste for ourselves. I am so glad we kept the reservation. The food, service and ambiance were all great and we will definitely dine there again in the near future.

First trip to Limani. Everything was excellent. Food was exceptional and service was outstanding. Dover Sole was was perfect. Had never had Baklava served quite this way but was a nice surprise (delicious and enough to share). Will definitely go back. Highly recommend.
