Cellar 55 - I had already started eating when I took this picture. Nice proportions. This is the Grouper - Wine Bars Near Me - Amarillo, Texas

Food Service. Ambience . Amazing. A great steak and Brussels --we eat here quite a bit

Highly Recommend for a relaxing, special evening! We ordered the bacon sampler as an appetizer. Not only was it very good, but it was just served in a fun and unique way! The sauce served along with the bacon complimented the bacon perfectly. I commented to my husband that it was the perfect appetizer as it did not fill us up, and instead made us anticipate the entrees more. My husband had the elk, and I had the salmon. Both entrees were superb. The blue cheese risotto served along side the salmon was outstanding. We also enjoyed the fried sprouts. Finishing out our dinner, we ordered the key lime pie, and truly, it may be the best key lime pie we have ever had. We thoroughly enjoyed the food. The service was excellent. We were greeted by many of the staff as we went to our table. They asked if we were celebrating a special occasion. It was our 39th wedding anniversary, and they asked if we had been there before. It was our first time. We will definitely go back. Jordan, our server, was very attentive and helpful throughout the meal. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and lent itself to quiet conversation. The dining experience was the perfect way for us to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary! read more

First visit on a second date with girlfriend. Special night. Had 715 reso and was told that our table would probably be 15 or so minutes as they were waiting for guest to vacate, we could wait in the bar. No problem [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice ambiance and service. Nice table in a quieter area in an alcove area. Perfect.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Server was training a new server, so we got plenty of attention from both of them. Started with french onion soup which was very flavorful, yet the toasted baguette was either non-existent or so covered in melted provolone to not be part of the texture of the spoonful. Unfortunate. Had the elk tenderloin and it was cooked perfect medium rare and had a clean, almost sweet flavor. Would have liked the brussels sprouts to have been a little bigger, and more seasoning. Would have loved to have subbed red cabbage or risotto for the mashed potatoes, which were blah. My friend had grouper, and she only ate half; but assured me was good as was her risotto. Had peanut butter pie for dessert. A nice finish; but wouldn't order next time. Key Lime pie sounds good. Overall impression is Cellar 55 is well worth a date night or special occasion, as the service and ambiance were definitely upscale; but prices are higher than other places with comparable food. read more

Cellar 55 is perhaps one of the best restaurants in town. they have a private room for meetings and celebrations. The food and service are both excellent. Will book again. read more

Amarillo is fortunate to have this place. Food and drinks are top-quality. Plenty of open space and is a nice atmosphere. Filet was perfect. French onion soup was delicious. Brussels sprouts were very good and I hate Brussels sprouts, but not these - best I've had. Old Fashioned was good. Great place to eat with friends or on a date. You won't be disappointed. read more

So disappointed with the food! Had heard good things but our food was absolutely terrible. The waitress went on and on about the fresh wild caught salmon special only available for a few weeks so we ordered it and it was so overcooked and dry and over sauced! If the fish is that amazing why completely cover it a thick sauce. The asparagus was bottom of stalk only, no tips and overcooked so it was soggy. None of our food was hot including the queso which was congealed and gross!! Will not go back! read more

Came to Cellar 55 for the first time and it was delicious! I came for lunch and have not had the opportunity to try dinner yet, but I got the fried chicken sandwich, which I recommend and would order again. Service was excellent. Accommodating and attentive. It has a great ambiance. Would be great for a date, a small group, or even a large party. It is big with a private room along with other places in the restaurant that can accommodate large tables. I will definitely be back and will post another review after trying dinner read more

Our waiter was excellent. The food was great, we had steaks and appetizers. The queso was incredible. Our 1st drink was unimpressive but the manager came over and replaced them right away. It's a very nice restaurant, you can dress up or go casual. Highly recommend. read more

WOW, just WOW. What a gem Amarillo now has. Open only three months. We were traveling back from Durango to Fort Worth after a week long motorbike trip. Even though we were dressed that way too they welcomed us. (Next time we will honor them properly with our attire.) Now to the food. Every morsel was amazing. The chicken wing appetizer was the best and moist I've ever had. Fantastic salads for the table. Grouper melt, southwest salad wrap, creamy Parmesan crusted grouper and Pasta New Orleans were all phenomenal. One of the most amazing wine and bourbon selections we've seen to include a Weller millennium. We will be searching for a reason to come back to town just to have another dinner. I wish I could give more stars. Thank you to all the fabulous staff to include our waiter Dylan !! read more

I love being the first! Again! I don't know the Amarillo dining scene, this is the first time I've been here, but I definitely know restaurants and I eat out a lot. This place is awesome! It's only been open a few weeks, but I could tell instantly that it had my vibe written all over it. I liked everything about it...the decor and the space is fantastic, the friendliness of EVERYONE I encountered here is wonderful and I felt warmly welcomed immediately and that carried over throughout dinner. I ordered the Caesar salad (the one miss on the menu, but not much different from most restaurants.) Then I had the 9oz filet with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts...and OMG was it perfect. Truly incredible. Super tender steak and those sides were amazing. I was then coaxed to try the Peanut Butter pie...which was also wonderful and delicious. When I find a restaurant that serves a meal like this when I'm just randomly passing through I think it's about as serendipitous and delightful as life can be. I wish I could go back frequently...it's that good here. All the best to the wonderful owner/bartender and staff! read more

Great food, service and ambiance! Sat at the bar and the staff was super friendly. I ate the ahi tuna salad and a side of cellar brussels.

This new restaurant in Amarillo is fantastic. The atmosphere is contemporary and elegant. The staff is friendly, attentive and very welcoming- even for single diners. The wine list is very extensive with wide variety of domestic and international wines at various price points. My ribeye steak was exceptional and served perfectly medium rare. Hostess learned that it was my birthday and sent a complementary dessert with handwritten note and candle! read more

Cellar 55 has been so wonderful to date! Tops for myself has been the Tomato Bisque soup from the soup of the day, Blackened Steak Bites, Pasta New Orleans, Gundagai Lamb Chops and the best Key Lime Pie I've ever tasted. The Lamb Chops w/the chimichurri sauce is something else! Salmon and Red Snapper from the tostada were cooked to perfection. Everyone at the table loved the Fried Lobster, asparagus and calamari. My wife said she would have the tuna tower as her meal everyday. Super extensive wine list and delicious cocktails. read more

I visited last week for a late-night glass of wine with a business acquaintance. The decor and ambiance were high-class, the service was extremely helpful and friendly, and the other patrons were fun to hang out with. In a short time, this place has become one of Amarillo's top spots to visit. The menu looked great, and I can't wait to come back next time to eat. read more

Food was delicious We had lady's 8 oz filet and bake potato. The steak was cooked to the perfect medium rare. Highly recommend

Everything we had was delicious and amazing. Chef Shelby is a culinary genius and the owner Chris Hazen was so friendly and made sure everything was to our liking. They have a really cool line of non-alcoholic libations I had never seen or tasted for cocktails too! Appetizers: The steak bites: superb, queso & chips: yummy, charcuterie: pretty and tasty, Main dishes:salmon: decadent, steaks: perfection, risottos: all 3 flavors delicious; the fried chicken was beautiful even though we didn't try it, we saw it walk by with waiters several times. The wine selection was incredible!!! The key lime pie is the exact perfect amount of tart and sweet, the peanut butter pie was heavenly and the blondie was a like a slice of home. Everything was amazing. read more

First, the service was great. We had the calamari for an appetizer and it was cooked to perfection. I ordered the sweet tea fried chicken and it too was cooked to perfection .

We had dinner here on a weeknight and had an excellent experience. Our server (Wes) was outstanding, as was the food. I was a little apprehensive about the bacon sampler, but this was recommended and was a winner. The sweet tea fried chicken was amazing. Great portion sizes and awesome for leftovers. One of the best restaurants in Amarillo and would highly recommend. read more

Oh my goodness, the whole experience was amazing. The staff were incredible and so welcoming. But our waiter Dave was beyond attentive to us. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, great ambiance!!! The food was delicious and gorgeous when it came out. We got a special little visit from Chef Shelby Swindell, which enhanced our evening as well!! ( Even though I think his momma made him do it ). The prices were reasonable for the what you get. It was truly an incredible experience!!! Please go visit them, I promise you will not be disappointed!!! read more

Okay, the food is here great! I don't know where they got the bartender from, but the mixed drinks we had were excellent! The French Onion Soup was also amazing! The bacon appetizer was really good, and I didn't think it was worth the price, but my fiancé disagreed. I really only have one major complaint, and it's that the French Dip came on a hot dog bun. First of all, how are you supposed to dip that in the Au Jus? Secondly, half of the reason I ordered it was because I expected it to be on a baguette. It's called a "French Dip" for crying out loud! How many French people do you think visit the local Patisserie to pick up American hot dog buns on a daily basis? While that one detail was a major disappointment, I still ate it, but I was very disappointed by that. I suggest adding several menu items that use baguettes to the menu and updating the French Dip or taking it off the menu completely. The manager said that it's one of the most popular items, but I have trouble believing that anyone over the age of 12 would order it twice. All that being said, the service and food (overall) was excellent, and we will be back! read more

Hostess staff were very friendly. Food was perfection! Our waitress was adorable and bartender was awesome!

Amazing experience, Chris and his team will take care of you his bourbon and wine collection rivals any place I have experienced. I recommend the steak bites is an appetizer and the blackened tuna as an entrée. If you request Ashton as a waiter, you'll be impressed and my favorite table is number 64. You can see everything going on at the bar. read more

We are visiting our hometown of Amarillo for a wedding last week. We enjoyed an amazing dinner at Cellar55 last evening. Great ambiance for a relaxing experience. Our party of four enjoyed the 'Cellar Salad', bread, the New Orleans pasta with chicken & shrimp, delicious Parmesan Crusted Sea Bass/Grouper with Cajun Risotto, a 'traditional home cooked' entree of chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes. Even the brussels sprouts were delicious! The peanut butter pie dessert was a must! Our server (Wes) was outstanding and the Food & Beverage Manager (Sean) focused attention on each individual table throughout the evening to ensure the satisfaction of every diner. Amarillo is fortunate to have this venue! read more

Cellar 55 has potential, but our experience was disappointing. Despite having a reservation, our table wasn't ready.. Service was friendly but slow--took around 45 minutes just to get water and drinks, and another hour for our meals to arrive. Overall, the poor service overshadowed what could have been a nice evening. read more
