We also appreciated the portion sizes were just right to where we weren't entering the food Koma Stage but felt 100% satisfied.
Hands down BEST food in town. Top quality ingredients, perfect texture and complimentary flavors not too complicated yet innovative.
Cellar Hand was awesome, start to finish. We came for brunch and everything was delicious! From the french press coffee to the brioche toast with ricotta, jam and basil, it was all a 10/10 for me. I am already thinking about my next brunch trip so I can try more of the menu. The vibes are also excellent, staff is so friendly and sweet (obsessed) and the decor inside is so pretty, calming and you really feel like you're somewhere else (not that I don't love Hillcrest). I can't wait to come back and try dinner here too. I really hope this place goes far, it is definitely a new favorite.
We dined on the patio on a Tuesday night (our traditional date night). The entire staff was friendly and courteous. The GM, Sara, said hello. We slid down a rabbit hole of the rich history of the building Greystone’s occupies. We had no idea. Our server Michael was cheerful and knowledgeable. The food and service and ambiance could not have been better. Thank you Greystone’s.
