2014 U-Pick Adventures continue with Marie’s pick to Cella Bistro. Many people told me to venture to this location because they would drive by the place and it was always stirring, so I had to put it on the list!
(5) Customer Service - Meaning how well they assisted me in my needs.
Very excellent. I will not call in for a reservation when I have a party less than six so when I arrived Tera was very eager to get a table ready for me as soon as possible. When my other two guests arrived, we were seated and ordered our drinks and then ordered our appetizers and entrees. The kitchen was running very slowly, most likely because this was the weekend right after Thanksgiving and I bet a lot of people didn’t want to look at turkey anymore so they decided to go out to eat instead, which Cella Bistro wasn’t ready for that. However, because the kitchen was so slow Tera was very sweet about it and even took items off our order to ease the pain of having to wait for the kitchen.
(4) Decor - The atmosphere of the place.
Very homey and relaxed. If the bar wasn’t there I would have assumed I was in someone’s house.
(5) Food & Drink - How well the food tastes, their selection of drinks
Cella Bistro offers an array of tapas that change from day to day. If they run out of a certain tapas ingredient, it will be removed from the board and the same goes for the menu items. I decided to go with marinated olives and a Brussel sprout cheesey dish which was very good. For my entrée I went with the stuffed poblanos, which was very delicious but on the spicy side. The filled was a black beans and rice with a cream sauce around which helped with the heat!
(5) Price - Here I am not grading my cost, but by the quality of the food I get for the money I spent. (Example: I pay $5 for a hamburger that I could make myself.)
Even though the food was prepared and served in a place that could be in your dining room, don’t expect to be able to recreate these dishes at home!
(5) Presentation - How things are presented. Food, Drink, Staff, etc.
All employees wore uniforms and the establishment was well kept and clean.
