Stop reading and stop in! You can thank me later Food: I had the baked stuffed jalapeños for an appetizer. Such a unique mix of ingredients that compliment so well. Slight crunch, soft pimento. Delicious! Bulgogi- sandwich was for lunch. It was insane!!! Packed with sweet flavor and the toasted bun was perfect. I added fresh jalapeños for that sweet heat! Miso sesame ahi tuna- my buddy had this, and I almost ate half haha. It was amazing. Super shocked how fresh tuna was in Wisconsin! Service: Aaliegha was amazing! Super sweet and such a fun personality. Sit at the bar and chat her up! Ambiance: They did incredible with this place! I know the owners and these girls have busted their butts on this place and it shows. Hands down best food in Fond Du Lac. I used to live here and I travel all over, this is top notch! You ladies overdid yourself here! read more

The ambiance and food here is kind of a mixed bag! I was excited to experience the pretty interior you see on their website. I expected a bit of a nicer vibe, especially for Valentine's Day. Wasn't the case. What they don't show in most of the photos you see online is they have a bar area right when you walk in with quite a few TVs. Then in the further dining area there are slot machines off to the side.... I would also say the servers are not dressed in a particularly appropriate attire in my eyes. I saw multiple servers in short/tight crop tops, more fit for a night out than serving a Valentines Dinner. Just not what I expected, given how they present themselves online. Now to the food! I will say, MAJOR PROPS for how well seasoned everything is. BUT I added chicken to my pasta dish and it was quite rubbery and fakey feeling NOT WORTH ADDING ON. Then on the elote rice, we added shrimp, and the shrimp was cut up into tiny pieces, hardly perceptible. Both appetizers were 5/5 great! I really like the beautiful church atmosphere and the appetizers give me hope. I just wish they would commit to being a finer dining establishment or add more fun casual elements. I think they can't decide what their deal is. Catering to multiple audiences makes both suffer. And maybe invest more into high quality chicken and larger shrimp on the rice. read more

The space is nicely decorated and has a comfortable atmosphere. It feels like it could be a true fine dining spot. The menu offers a good variety, with enough options to suit most tastes. The reason for the three stars is the service. The staff presentation didn't match the setting--bartenders were wearing crop tops and shorts, which felt out of place compared to the effort guests had clearly put into dressing up. The staff we interacted with were not very welcoming, and I overheard one employee using profanity while speaking to another. In a beautifully converted old church, it stood out in a negative way. Our server seemed disengaged and put in minimal effort throughout the meal. It wasn't until she brought the check that she offered a brief polite comment. If attentive, professional service is important to you when dining out, it's worth keeping your expectations realistic here. read more

Pretty good. Cool setting and very comfortable despite being such a big space. Beer was good, had salads for our meals and they hit the spot. Not a fan of the digital menu but can live with it. Friendly team working there. read more

In town for a family reunion weekend and had dinner here on the eve of the primary events with six others... FOOD - creative dishes that overall were well received by everyone! Order and shared the following food items: Korean Pork Nachos Potstickers Truffle Cheese Curds Salmon BLT Beet Street with Salmon Hail Caesar Mexican Street Tacos Duck Bacon & Sweet Corn Rangoons Elote and Street Corn & Rice Bowl A lot of sampling and sharing was enjoyed at our dinner table...family affair after all! Only critical critique...the add-on salmon for the Beet Street was brought out to the table separate from the salad itself. Thought it should have been better presented and not left for me to cut the filet up and add to the salad. Service - very prompt, efficient and attentive service! And the younger waitress was actually exceptionally witty and able to hold her own with a pretty boisterous group...family affair after all! Ambience - it's a restaurant inside a "retired/repurposed" (for lack of a better word) grand church...I mean what more can I say? It will either resonate with you or it won't...which is OK! But you can't argue that it was really beautiful inside. Enjoy! read more

AMAZING! Renovated church into a restaurant with beautiful stained glass windows, great lighting and seating areas creating an inviting, relaxing, quaint atmosphere! Beautifully curated menu of so many delicious choices! We really leaned into the server's knowledge of the menu since it was difficult to make a decision! I started off with the goat cheese flatbread with arugula and blueberries with hot honey. For my main entree, a bowl with sesame seed jasmine rice with edamame atop with perfectly grilled salmon that was crispy on the outside, but delicately delicious on the inside! Perfection! My husband started off with a generous bowl of chicken tortilla soup that had a nice balance of all do the flavors and was amazing! For his main course, he enjoyed the street corn bowl with chicken. He said that it was good, however, it did have a little too much of one flavor that he didn't care for. This was probably a personal taste preference since this is one of their staple dishes. We finished off with a skillet chocolate chip cookie topped with ice cream. Rather than the skillet being cast iron, which typically creates a nicely done crispy bottom, but soft center, this cookie's finish was nothing like that. The cookie didn't seemed to be cooked through, but was boiling hot when brought out. Overall, wonderful dining experience and would enjoy dining here again! read more

The food was excellent, atmosphere very nice and service was great. You could make a dinner just out of the appetizers.

Great experience! The owner, Sarah, was also our server and she was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and we loved that the menu had items you don't usually see at other restaurants. The service was excellent, the place was very clean, and the whole restaurant had a really cool vibe. You can tell they truly care about their customers. We'll definitely be back! read more

Beautiful old church converted to a restaurant. Sundays offer their modern take on a Brunch menu. A very good variety on the menu. Reservations are recommended, however if you get there shortly after opening on Sunday, you might not need one. The Deviled Eggs with Candied Bacon are a great brunch appetizer. read more

This place is a hidden gem of Fond du Lac. The staff was warm and friendly and made recommendations from personal knowledge. The food is a little on the pricey side for what it is, but they're using good ingredients. The burger is easily the best burger in Fond Du Lac. I was honestly shocked how good it was. As a ketchup lover, I was very happy when the waitress suggested I wouldn't need it (she brought it anyway) and was she right! I'm really happy I didn't add any ketchup as it would have ruined the experience. This burger was darn near perfect. I was a bit uneasy going in as the signage from the outside gives no indication what's inside this beautiful former church. The inside is beautiful and decorated respectfully considering this building used to be a church. Overall the experience was great, if you want the best burger in Fondy, this is your new spot! read more

Was extremely excited to try this place. Ambience was good... building was beautiful inside & out... it smelled so amazing & the service was great. I really wanted it to be a place i could come back to multiple times & try everything & tell everyone all about it. Unfortunately the food was not at all pleasant. Mongolian beef was terrible. No flavor in the rice, broccoli was complete mush & "firecracker' sauce was a dud with no spice at all. The fritters had no flavor again but good crisp. The vodka chicken was just meh. Too much sauce & garlic that reminded me of hamburger helper quality. For the price point the food needs to be revamped. Maybe it was an off night but i was so disappointed read more

This place is such a gem. We were traveling and finding this incredibly cool and unique spot was a highlight. The locale is beautiful and cool. The drinks are all well made. The food was very very good. And, last but certainly not least, all of the staff were kind and helpful. Aces all around. I highly recommend Cellar District. If you are in a nearby town, make the drive! It is worth it. Side note: Brunch is only Sunday and absolutely fantastic. read more

Great atmosphere, amazing people, and the drinks were wonderful. I am not too sure about the food. It was average to me; nothing special. The Seabass was overcooked and had way too many unnecessary toppings (chopped up onions, cucumbers, and other ingredients that did not justify the taste)(and coleslaw on the bottom of the fish). The deviled eggs must've been made a day or two prior because they felt and tasted like they had been refrigerated for a few days. I did order a bacon burger afterward and that was delicious. The spinach and artichoke dip was also really good. I will definitely return next time I'm in town because I really appreciated the environment and the employees. read more

I made reservations for Cellar District based off the existing Yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint. The first thing you notice is this restaurant is built within an old church. The interior is exquisite with most of the original architecture. When we asked if we could explore other areas of the restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised to receive a yes. Zachary was our waiter and the provided excellent service. He made sure we had plenty of water at our table and was not pushy with taking our orders. The restaurant uses QR codes for their menu so be sure to bring your cell phone with you. We started with an order of the deviled eggs and truffle cheese curds. Both were very good, but I was very partial towards the truffle cheese curds. When you're in Wisconsin, you can't go wrong with a good curd! Everyone at the table, ordered something different. We ordered a Hot Ham & Cheese, Bang Bang Shrimp, Lemon Pepper Shrimp Ravioli, Seared Ahi Tuna with Tomato and Olive Sauce, The District Smash burger, and a Strawberry Fields salad. The food presentation was amazing and the portions were quite sufficient. Everyone was happy with their meal and took their leftovers home. Before we left the restaurant, we agreed that we would schedule our next meeting there. Definitely worth a repeat visit. A+ read more

We were a family from all over the United States. Exceptional spot. Lovely ambience and great food. The cheese curds with truffle oil were to die for. Loved the Salmon. Great service. Highly recommend. read more

This place was AMAZING. The setting is in an old church, but I felt very confortable being non-religious. It was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming. The food took less than 15 minute to come out and OH MY GOD it was incredible. I ordered the Apple Blueberry Goat Cheese Flatbread, and I loved it. Our waitress, Dovey, was incredible. Want extra napkins? Extra silverware? Refill? She enhanced our dining experience to the absolute best. I would recommend you to come here with any group of people. Kid-friendly aswell. read more

Stop by here on the way to Door County with my family and we enjoyed our lunch. The building was a really fun concert old church. I love repurposed places. The truffle cheese curds were bomb. My husband beet burger was really good. I had the tuna banh mi. It's nothing like a bahn Mi so they should just call it a ahi tuna sandwich, but it was good. Could have used a soy wasabi time side dip. The kiddo got the grilled cheese and fruit and ate as much i as would expect him to eat and the grandparents got different salads that they said was very good. I can def recommend this place and the service was very good too. read more

Flatbread and Nachos were Burgers couldn't compare to Culvers but the pretzel bun made it better. Made good chicken Alfredo but anybody could do that. Hostess was mute and waitress didn't know anything about the menu, super clueless. Good menu stickers(to stick on people) Wouldn't give us kids menu items even though we just wanted to proportion. Food was fast but our waitress dropped plates off her tray and had to wait for the food to be remade. Loved the hairspray and other hygiene products in the little girl's room read more

Cellar District - My view - New American Near Me - Fond du Lac, Wisconsin

Cellar District is so unique! It was formerly a church that has been outfitted into a restaurant. High ceilings, and Stainglass windows add such a unique character to this restaurant. It is truly a beautiful space. I ordered the sirloin tacos and my husband ordered the Korean nachos. The tacos were absolutely delicious, but my husband was a little disappointed by the Korean nachos. They were a little too different than original nachos for him. Even though the restaurant was short staffed, the service was very good. I will definitely be visiting this place and bringing family the next time I'm in Fond du Lac. read more

My wife and I had lunch here recently. Beautiful renovated church space. Nice bar. A good feel to the place. Menu was interesting and diverse. We had burgers, smash burgers. They were outstanding. We both thought these were some of the best burgers we have had. Ever. Sides are al la carte. We shared one. A corn dip with tortilla chips. It was unique and flavorful and more than enough. I have a good appetite. Not one of these people that makes a big deal about a good portion and needing leftover boxes. Plenty of food. No leftovers. It was great. Go there. Try it. I know we will be back. I felt the prices were reasonable and commensurate with the quality of the experience. If someone complains about the prices here, ignore them and go anyway. Sports bar and fast food burgers are not remotely comparable. Go. Eat. Have fun. Enjoy life. read more

BEWARE if you have food allergies or special requests. I wanted to LOVE this place. "Farm to Table" in a Church atmosphere is super cute and fun. This is the 3rd time I've been here. First time was pretty good-especially for a place downtown Fond du Lac. Second time, I came for my birthday, and ordered the Sea Bass. Although the waitress was sweet to put in a free bday treat, the fish was definitely off and tasted too fishy. Third time was this evening. I went for a special event "Tea & Tarot" where there was a 4 course meal, cocktails, a tarot lesson and supposed to have a tarot reading after (for an additional fee). After taxes nearly $70 without a reading was pretty steep. As a professional chef, I have high expectations of food and definitely tastings, but as I've travelled quite extensively, I attempt to critique food based on 3 very basic levels. Freshness/Quality of Ingredients, Presentation and overall Taste. No matter, where I am. I was apprehensive due to the main course being chicken and I am Pescatarian. I decided to email them directly and see if this was possible to do during a predetermined tasting. The owner(?) manager(?)-they never signed the emails said they could easily swap the protein and I could get the Seabass, since I didn't eat chicken. First two courses, no issues. The third (the swapped chicken) for fish was much better than last time, but potatoes were severely undercooked and was 3/4 of my way through my meal when I dug in deeper into my plate to not only find one, but three very large chicken pieces. It was hidden under the two pieces of fish and looked around for a waitress-none to be seen as it was a group of 30+ (?) of us. I thought about how much I paid and had to miserably fish out all the chicken and honestly after doing so- lost most of my appetite. As someone who hasn't eaten meat in nearly 27 years, I have never had so much meat "accidentally" be placed on my plate at a restaurant. Ever. Thankfully, I'm not allergic, but I made it perfectly clear that I did not eat chicken and not only did the manager/owner not make sure it was prepared carefully, neither did the Chef. The waitress who looked to have seniority asked how everything was after I already had found most of the chicken and I should her what was on my plate and she just apologized and walked away. No partially comping my meal, no apology from the manager/owner. Disappointed is an understatement, as this is by far the best restaurant in this part of the state. I also did not get a tarot reading as they had one reader for the entire group of us. I waited nearly an hour and a half past the time and they weren't even close to calling my name. I won't be returning. read more

We were impressed with Cellar District--very unexpected in Fond du Lac. First, we loved the decor and walking into a church repurposed into a restaurant. We dug how they echoed the motifs of the church decor in the bar designs and loved the colorful modern mural on the altar. They reminded us of something we saw in Croatia. We loved the entire ambiance though the expansiveness of the space can be a little noisy. We received fine service from the ladies at the reception to our server. My salad was a little less than stellar as they used sliced cheese and turkey sandwich meat on it but it was still a filling and tasty combo. My husband enjoyed his flatbread. The Wisconsin Old Fashioned gave me enough buzz to put a rosy glow on our visit. read more

First time here and we will go back in a heartbeat! Stopped for lunch and started with their cheese curds! Outstanding. We had many questions for the server Lauren who was spectacular!

I really had high hope for this place. However all 4 of our meals came out just slightly warm. The bowls were the least favorite of the group. The potatoes and meat were cut too large. The cheese was barely melted. On a positive note the cheese curds and fries were very good read more

Such an interesting restaurant located in an old church. Unfortunately meal did not meet expectations. Started with blueberry, apple flatbread with apricot jam. Unfortunately when it arrived there were only 5 blueberries on the whole flatbread, no apples and didn't taste any apricot. Next had the crabcake sliders. I asked if it was mostly crab or filling. He said he liked them. When they came they were mostly filling and highly seasoned. Couldn't taste any crab. Sandwiches were huge. Truffle fries were good. My husband had half of ham and cheese sandwich and said it was good. read more

We dropped by Cellar District for a light lunch while doing a food tour of the Lake Winnebago area, and we were not disappointed! The location is amazing, located in a huge, beautifully converted church. Despite the soaring, neo-gothic vaulted ceilings, it still has a charmingly cozy ambiance (and bar with faux flying buttresses was a particularly nice touch for a history nerd like me...). But the food still managed to steal the show. The Candied Bacon Deviled Eggs were very tasty, and a bit sweet (though the bacon they were garnished with had turned a bit soggy). The Hot Honey Pepperoni Flatbread was excellent - small, but super cheesy! But the star of the show was unquestionably the Truffle Fries - they were wonderfully hot and crispy and delicious. We'd make the 2 hour trip again just for those! Service was swift and attentive, and it's a great location to walk around and take pictures after you enjoy your meal. Definitely going back...their burgers look very tempting! :D read more
