Succulence in the Cellar!
My son and I ate here on a Saturday night in August. There was outdoor eating (but below street level...thus the 'cellar' bit), but we ate indoors where there was a jazz trio. Fortunately, we had reservations, as at the 7:30 time the place was close to full, though almost empty by the time we left, except for the bar area.
The atmosphere was most pleasant, and we both found our dishes to be excellent in both presentation and taste. I had the Cajun Two-Step, which was Jambalya surrounded by Shrimp Creole with three fried shrimp on top. The creole sauce was superb! My son had stuffed flounder, and he found it quite tasty. For appetizers we had a cup of gumbo (acceptable but not outstanding) and some alligator. Neither of us cared for the reptilian fare!    [11 Aug 2003 17:34:47]

Cool Place
This is one of our favorite places to go on Main Street. I have only had 1 negative experience there, when the eggplant was gross and the waitress told us that "most people don't eat the eggplant, they just eat the part that it is stuffed with."
But...I have been there a bunch of times and the food is always great.    [05 Feb 2004 10:50:15]

The best of the best!!!
We were lucky enough to be in town and accidentally find the place. We couldn't have come on a bettter night, because they happened to be celebrating Mardi Gras. The air outside was filled with the kick of Old Bay from the shrimp and crawdads they were boiling up outside.

There were about eight of us in our party and everyone liked what they ordered. But what made it was the hospitality. From our waitress (Casha?) to the owner, Renee we couldn't have asked to be treated any better. I will be making the trip from South Carolina to Cypress Cellar again.    [08 Feb 2005 09:17:48]

Lunch at Cypress Cellar
Had lunch at Cypress Cellar and loved the food. Susan had Oysters Bienville (YUM) and Ron had the Cajun Two-Step (YUM also). Good value for money! We'll be back.

Service a little slow, but we hit a busy time.    [25 Feb 2006 17:14:48]

Cypress Cellar
The food is good but what really stands out are the great drinks. My favorite bartender always remembers what I drink before I sit down.    [22 Mar 2006 09:42:11]

Lunch at the Cellar
Carrie had a small cup of shrimp bisque and a small plantation salad, I had a large plantation salad with blackened chicken. As always great "Baby Doll". If you must have only one desert - have the bread pudding! Great service, Great staff, Great place.    [19 Apr 2006 17:02:04]

Food Decent for Price but Terrible Service
My husband and I visited this place based on the wonderful reviews; however, we were very displeased overall. The amount of food was satisfactory for the price but the service was terrible. It was so bad that at one point I had to get up to go get our waitress only to walk up behind her to find her talking to another employee about us! She didn't bother to apologize and then she never came back to our table. She sent someone else to deliver our food. Finally after we sat there not knowing what to do or say at that point, the manager came over and said our waitress went home because it was slow and here was our bill! There was only one other couple in the whole place and I would not recommend a place that allows employees to treat customers like she did. It is unfortunate because the food was relatively good for the price. I would absolutely not recommend the calamari, but the jambalaya was pretty hearty.    [24 Oct 2006 20:38:47]

Very poor food & service!!
Food that was served was not even eddible and owner refused to replace it and insisted we pay for the meal even though we could not and did not eat it.
Owner was extreamly rude, and very unprofessional. I will never go back.    [26 May 2007 16:43:44]
