“great food, friends and fun”
Bob and Sandy Layman have long shared a passion for great food, friends and fun and were accustomed to working long, hard hours in the restaurant industry. An opportunity to purchase The Cellar came in late 2003. A waitress with an entrepreneurial spirit and an undiscovered chef found the chance too enticing to let slip by. The couple found that their respective skills and talents combined to form a recipe for success. Being located only feet from the Susquehanna River in a lower level business had its challenges. After flooding in 2004, 05 and 06, the Laymans decided to take the Cellar’s good name and move it up. They purchased the historic building and street-level renovations began. Nature’s way and the river had redefined their restaurant and their lives. Sandy remains a part-time server while overseeing the marketing & advertising of the restaurant with the help of her middle son, Dan, and she spends time keeping the interior design fresh and exciting. Dining guests have referred to the ambience of the new upstairs location as rustically sophisticated and always comfortable. Bob, meanwhile, experiments and perfects the culinary skills he has developed over 30 years in the food and beverage industry. Self-taught, the ability to produce quality food that “dances in your mouth” is his gift. In early 2000 Bob had the opportunity to learn from a regular customer with Celiac disease how to cook gluten-free. Over ten years later, cooking without gluten is common practice in Bob's cooking style and is evident in the wide variety of gluten free menu items he effortlessly prepares at The Cellar Restaurant. With dedication and determination, the Laymans and their three sons have turned a local favorite into a regional destination.

I only came here once (because the taco place shut down), but based on my experience and the other reviews, that'll be enough. The menu generally seemed good, but pricey. And so I was expecting... Read more
We booked this restaurant for our celebratory dinner for our son's graduation from BU. They put out a special, condensed menu for this weekend, as it's also Mother's Day weekend, and "we don't... Read more
