Stopped by for a spontaneous weeknight dinner as I happened to walk past. I had the burger and it was perfect: thick, juicy, actually medium rare (rather than what a lot of other places call a medium rare burger, which is closer to medium well) and seasoned so it didn't need anything other than its own aioli and pickles with little pops of chili. It didn't even need cheese. I would come back for that burger alone but now I do want to try other things on the menu! I came in just before last order but was never made to feel rushed or hurried by the staff, and everything was efficient and courteous without being obtrusive. The space is cute! A note, however: I would get a table next time. The bar stools and the way the bar is positioned relative to them means you're either sitting sideways or with your knees jammed to the bar, and having to lean down to eat and drink... not very comfortable! read more

Cellar Door has been recommended by so many people, so many times that we decided to come and give it a try. I heard about their amazing ice cream, so I was hyped to try their dessert. We got their beef tartare, the hamburger, and the pasta. Everything was pretty good, and I think my favorite was the tartare or the hamburger. The tartare was super flavorful, and I loved the crisp that they gave us with it. The hamburger was huge and was really filling. The pasta was creamy and tasted rich, but this was okay to me. Although I was looking forward to the dessert, I was disappointed when I found out the current ice cream was a tart frozen yogurt with campari - I do not like alcohol so this was a flop. Cellar Door did not blow my mind, but it's a nice casual intimate dinner spot read more

This is written by my foodie ten year old, Aurora. She is a big foodie and loves eating at restaurants like these. Hello, this is the foodie ten year old writing. First off, let's start why I gave this restaurant five stars. I gave this restaurant five stars because their food and service is amazing. When we first walked in, the atmosphere was cool and cozy. The display of objects on the wall was a nice touch. We were seated in a corner, with a nice view of what the chefs were doing. So far, so good. We started ordering off the menu almost immediately, and our server was very helpful with recommendations of dishes. We got the bread and butter, the clam conserva, smoked wild sardine, tempura asparagus, roasted black bass, and the wagyu tri-tip. The waiting time for each dish was approximately 15 minutes, which was a good wait time to have a conversation. The first thing that came was the bread and butter. Absolutely fantastic. The bread was fluffy and crispy and the butter was creamy and delicious. Next, came the smoked wild sardine. It was very flavorful, but I got to say that there was too much bone in it. Then, came the clam conserva. The clams were super flavorful , and the endives on top were crunchy and delicious. After that , the tempura asparagus came. It was a very good tempura for Chicago, and the asparagus inside the crunchy layering on top was deliciously smoked before turning into tempura. After that, the mains came. First was the roasted black bass. Absolutely incredible. One of the best bass I've had. It was seasoned perfectly, and not as bony as the smoked wild sardine. Then lastly, the Wagyu tri-tip came. It was well seasoned, crispy, it was not raw, and it paired perfectly with the kimchi on top. Overall, this was a great restaurant. I would definitely go again. read more

I have strong mixed opinions about Cellar Door Provisions, especially because I really wanted to love this place. I found Cellar Door via the Bib Gourmand, and it certainly is a great value. Most of the items were phenomenal, the craftsmanship is excellent. The service is more professional than usual restaurants at this price, though à la carte it feels more like a tasting. The wine list is unique and we enjoyed our choices. The space is small and intimate, perfect for a date night. Unfortunately this was the worst burger I've had in Chicago, it really tasted like the patty was boiled. The flavor was a bit bland, I honestly wonder if the burger I received was a mistake. read more

Quite surprised how small the portions are. The hanger steak was two thin strips of beef. I bet it was maybe 5 ounces. That's partially driving the three stars. Also, they were out of bread at 8:30pm. What the hell? How? So many sauces a nothing to so them up with. They even had a main course dish that used the bread which they said we could order but why would you if the bread is one of the main ingredients. Our server was seems grumpy an barely came to the table. My glass of wine was child sized also. For $14 give me a decent pour please. Th dessert was amazing. We got a flourless chocolate cake. The other couple we were with decided to order one to go so the husband could eat it off the wife when they got home. TMI? Maybe. But also that damn good. I really did enjoy the flavors and I'd like to go back, but if they are out of bread next time I'm getting up and leaving. read more

Second fancy Friday in Logan! We came here just get drinks and desserts. This bib gourmand has been on my list for a very long time and I was excited to check it out. Interesting vibes? Definitely very Logan Square in the sense that it's pretty bare bones inside and feels kind of pretentious, but is trying not to be? We split all three desserts and something to know about this place. Is they rotate the menu sometimes daily but mainly weekly. The desserts change monthly. We got the ice cream special, the chocolate cake, and the Panna cotta. The ice cream was definitely our favorite because the flavor was incredibly unique and almost buttery. Genuinely when you ate this ice cream it just felt so good in your mouth. I've never been a huge Panna cotta person and this kind of confirmed it. Again, good and very creamy, but it had a lot of olive oil on it, which made it more of a savory dessert. Chocolate cake was solid, but nothing crazy- I could make this. Also got the Saka batch martini yeah, I understand that this is a yeah, I understand that this is an organic wine bar, but I simply feel like they could offer more cocktails? Service was good, quick and kind. Yeah, am I going to come back for dinner? Honestly, no. It's just not my type of place but I'm glad that I tried it and checked it off the list. read more

This is one of those restaurants that feels like going out in Chicago, a quintessential colder month place. You walk in roughed up from the weather, all disheveled, suddenly you're in this intimate haven with low lights, fogged windows, glasses of wine, people are happy, huddled around close and laughing. The menu is adventurous and rotating, celebrating whatever's seasonal. On my trip about this time last year, we ordered the delicata squash, a beautiful plate of oysters, and tortelloni; all made with care. They also have a burger, which seems to be a bit of a safety net when experimenting isn't your jam, or budget (Pro tip: don't ask for cheese on it -- they may have a burger, but this just isn't that kind of place! ) Michelin Bib Gourmand is always exciting to hear. read more

I really wanted to love this place, it was good but my partner and I won't be hurrying back. Highlights: service was excellent! The second our plates were empty they were bussed, and when we poured the last drop of water it was immediately refilled. Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable. Food was good, but there wasn't a stand out dish for us and a few of the dishes were on the salty side. The bread was phenomenal and the beets had a lovely combination of sweet, sour and savory flavors. The gnocchi texture was delightful, but the dish was overly salty for our taste. The pig ear salad was very unique, but not something my partner or I enjoyed. The almond cake was delicious, but the presentation was a bit of a turnoff for us. Drink menu is limited, but we knew that going in. The restaurant is small and they will try to get you out within 2 hours so they can turn tables. Overall, we're glad we tried it but were a little underwhelmed given our expectations and the restaurant ratings. Fun dining experience with trying with excellent service. We appreciate they add 3% to support their staff! The menu changes regularly so perhaps we just caught this place on an off week. read more

Decided to give this place another try for my birthday yesterday after a miscommunication on their end a few years led to us arriving for my birthday dinner only to find they were closed for a private event. Food and wine were good, but once we ordered our food our server essentially forgot about us. We regularly had to flag someone down for wine and water refills. After we had been sitting for a while with empty plates and glasses, it was clear another reservation for our table had arrived but we hadn't been offered dessert or drinks yet. Once we flagged someone down so we could order dessert, we suddenly existed to the staff as we were regularly checked in on to the point of us feeling rushed. I would've felt bad if their dinner was delayed because we had overstayed our welcome, but had our server remembered our table and offered us dessert or drink refills in a timely manner, we would've completed our experience in time for the next group. Despite the menu being framed as family style, the portions are quite small and not presented in a way that makes the food easily shareable along a group of three. They also have pretty minimal non-alcoholic options- no soda or coffee which is odd for a trendy restaurant in 2025. If you are looking to celebrate a birthday here, they do not offer anything fun in the way of candles on your dessert or even a "happy birthday!" when it's mentioned to your server. Pre-pandemic, we loved this place but as the years have gone by we've become increasingly disappointed with the service, communication, and attention to detail. A bummer as it's a place with great potential. read more

I give them points for being unique, but the menu is rather small, as are the portions. Generally friendly staff, but an overly pretentious atmosphere. Multiple wine options, but only 1 single beer and the only non-alcoholic option is a tea. Gimme a break. read more

I was so excited to try out a new place in the neighborhood but was greatly disappointed by the food. The bread and butter was the star and I thought it would only get better from there! It did not. The prawns were undercooked, the gnocchi was served in the most unappetizing way- sunk to the bottom of a bowl of clear liquid and the burger - how could you mess up a burger? By serving it raw! Then telling me that was a food safety hazard to cook it more and offered me a box to take it home. I did, and cooked it myself the next day. It wasn't great. Great concept, cool menu items but food left much to be desired. Servers were nice. read more

DON'T COME HERE because this is one of my favorite restaurants and I want it all to myself. Jokes aside, I've been to Cellar Door a statistically significant amount of times and I've never had a bad time nor a bad dish. And they change their menu constantly, so that should tell you something. Service is impeccable. Miguel is the angel and devil we want on our shoulders at all times. Nicole is a home girl. Beautiful blonde with the eye contact. Do it big when you go to CDP. Drinks, bread, entrees, dessert...you won't regret it. It's a high class meal and experience that doesn't feel pretentious and keeps you coming back again and again. read more

Mixed feelings on this one. Food quality alone was a five. The flavors were out of this world ..one of the best beef tartare I've ever had in my life, amazing muscles and a beautifully innovative pork chop with Mediterranean olive compote. But there were a few downsides: we arrived early and they told us to go next-door for a wine tasting, but the shop was closed; we were at the last seating we had an 845 reservation and they didn't see us until 9 PM and by the time we placed our order, a third of the menu was out, they were out of the sake martini they were out of the burger they were out of the pork chop... but I will say they did give us a small cut of the pork chop just to try it, which was very kind. read more

We enjoyed dinner at Cellar Door Provisions. Their preparation style highlights the texture and flavors of each main ingredient. Our favorites were the olives brined in house, and the burger. Service was outstanding. I never enjoy when you sit at a chef's counter and the kitchen team pretends they can't see you. That's awkward. This was very different. The chefs asked us questions about ourselves, and chatted with us. They made us feel incredibly welcome. Dinner was very reasonably priced. read more

We've been trying to dine at Cellar Door for quite some time and there happened to be openings at the chef's table! Pro tip: check for reso openings the day of and you just might be in luck! We loved the space and such friendly staff. Everyone was smiling and gave off good vibes. We sat right in front of the chefs, which was unique and fun. Everything is meant to be shared. For snacks we had the country bread, pickled veggies, and warm olives. A nice warm up. Then we had the broccolini which had such a pretty presentation and good charred flavor. For mains we had the burger and short-rib. Both had great flavor and left us too full for dessert. Lots of excellent wine options as well. We will be back! read more

Cellar Door Provisions is one of those rare places that feels both discovered and hidden at the same time. From the hangar steak to the vegetable dishes--which are genuinely incredible--everything is intentional without ever being showy. The food balances simplicity and complexity with real confidence: nothing overworked, nothing trying too hard. Each dish feels deeply considered, rooted in technique and restraint, yet full of surprise. You can taste the thoughtfulness. Their approach is truly one of a kind--humble, understated, and quietly exceptional. read more

It's a nice ambiance and a modern look. A good restaurant overall but some odd things: - service might be very slow. I think we waited a solid 35min for burgers - no tea or coffee - no sodas Menus are printed daily (they are dated that way at least) though when we ordered lamb they said they have substituted it with beef and when we ordered trout, the server who brought the food said "here's your salmon" While the food is good and probably a 4 - 4.5 starts on that end, this was my second time visiting this place and unfortunately my 3 stars stay. read more

I really wanted to like Cellar Door. I've been looking forward to trying it since I moved to Chicago. So I was elated to grab a reservation on my birthday. Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to the hype. The good: The burger is a must order and was legitimately one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. (After taking off the large piece of raw Fresno chili pepper that was inedibly spicy.) It's the only reason I gave this place two stars at all. The bad: The service was a little off for the price point. I asked to hear more about some menu items that didn't have descriptions, and our server didn't seem comfortable talking us through them. She basically just read the menu to us. She also didn't seem to know the wine list very well. I like natural wine, but the recommendation she gave didn't really fit the tasting I was told. (I was nervous and said it was fine, but we finished only about 3/4 of the bottle.) Also, two of us got butter knives in our silverware roll, and one person got a steak knife. So when our lamb arrived, we all had to share a steak knife. It was awkward. The ugly: Some of the dishes were almost inedible. The whole roasted onion sounded really exciting but was actually kind of raw. So I ended up with an upset stomach from crunching raw onion slices. (It also wasn't a whole onion's worth, but that's whatever.) We really tried to eat it but left most of it on the plate. The "grilled" mackerel was probably the biggest disappointment. You can see in the picture how big the $28 piece was, compared to the lemon slice. It was also very thin. Only the skin was grilled. The rest was smoked or preserved and so fishy it tasted unpleasant/off. And I love mackerel. We took a tiny taste and left the entire dish there. It seemed like there was only one server for the whole dining room. (Which was quiet but had a nice ambiance.) Some wine refills took several courses to arrive. We wanted to ask about taking the mackerel off our bill since we barely touched it, but it took so long to get our server's attention that we were running late and just needed to go. Our server moved the untouched dish out of the way to set down our bill, but didn't bother to ask why we were leaving with multiple plates of food and glasses of wine still left. Overall, it was a very disappointing $270 birthday meal. They didn't even mention my birthday, which isn't required but would be nice at that price point. read more

Tried a few new foods while here, lamb tongue and quail, both of which were very delicious. Food overall was fresh and well prepared. Very friendly staff. Place was busy, but felt tended to nonetheless. Appreciated the wine suggestions as well. Will come back again for special occasions! Place was simple yet cozy and inviting. read more

Complete and utter gem of Chicago. Best neighborhood restaurant in the city. Easily. Small, charming, cozy, romantic, amazing low lighting, great music - a lot of Beatles. Sit at the chef's counter, feel the chill energy of a small staff working together swiftly and calmly - creating magical, subtle flavors. Ordered the bread and butter, crab toast, beets, and pasta. All a delight. Plus both the fior di latte ice cream and chocolate cake. Mind blowing. So delicious. Incredible wine. Parked in front for free. Walked five steps to get inside. Honestly, it's epic here. read more

Food was extremely underwhelming and service slow. I've had straight forward, no nonsense cooking before but these dishes were just boring and not executed well. We were told we should order more at the beginning but glad we didn't -- it did end up being too much anyway. The bread was the only highlight of the meal. The vibes here are great though and the restaurant has a nice ambiance in the evening. read more

The good: The vibes were cool, staff was very chic and cool, which I guess is a plus, lol. The bread and butter was great; scallop dish was genuinely beautiful and delicious, tuna dish was equally good. Interesting, fresh flavors that I haven't had elsewhere in the city. The panna cotta was also good. The bad: it was a sweltering day and there was either no AC or it wasn't strong enough to reach the dining room. I was looking forward to the pasta sfoglia but it was the mushiest, blandest pasta I've had in Chicago. The pappardelle sheets fell apart immediately in a flavorless, watery broth so the dish was resources to a soup of pasta bits and burrata. The peas seemed to be an afterthought and had no flavor. It tasted like overcooked pasta served in its under-salted cooking water. The ugly: The salad was dressed with such an intensely bitter dressing that it was inedible. My whole group wanted to share it but agreed that it was shockingly bad - like the bitter rind of grapefruit and too much acid. I don't think I've ever left a full dish uneaten at a restaurant before. I don't know how you mess up vinaigrette that bad. We put the salad on the edge of the table and the staff left it and left and only took it away once we asked them to - awkward. I've read other reviews about some dishes being inedible while other dishes were slam dunks, so, strange! read more

Would've been five stars if not for the very slow service that was a huge turn off at the end. But the food and ambiance were cinematically lovely. Think of those romantic movies where the two diners can speak and listen to each other at an effortless, conversational volume with the soft shuffling of chatter and tinkling of glasses in the background--that's what it sounds like at Cellar Door Provisions. Others have mentioned the small portion sizes. As a solo diner, I was recommended to order two items, but, as a big eater, I ordered four and didn't feel satisfied until finishing my last plate. Food was wonderful and beautifully crafted, nonetheless. As I mentioned, service got disappointingly slow at the end of my meal. I had planned to order dessert, but since my waiter was occupied for so long, I asked for the check instead. read more

Woulda given that 5th star but they were cooking Fishwife's tinned fish recipes so can't say how their own menu is. I gotta tell you though the kitchen has mastered their technique. Stuff was good! VERY NICE staff. Chef even brought one dish to our table. Nice room but it is small so would recommend reservations. read more

Tried CDP last week and it was ok. If you're unfamiliar, it's a small place in Humboldt (I think) and they offer minimize availability and set menus. The whole premise has to be to sell bottles of wine because otherwise it underwhelms. The non alcoholic options are water and a couple of gross teas. And the waiter was wearing hippie sandals, sat down next to us and crossed his legs putting his gross ass foot next to our table. Strike 1 The food was good, nothing life changing. The bread was quite good, but for $10 a loaf, you could not burn it. Strike 2 The mousse for dessert with marinated cherries was easily the high point and was fantastic. Sorry at this point I was done taking pictures. No sense reviewing the food since it changes daily or whatever; they didn't even have the same menu that they had posted outside. Probably a 1 and done for us. read more

Let me start by saying that I had no idea this cafe existed. I have passed by it countless times and nothing screamed "Open For Business." A colleague told me about and and we agreed to meet for Sunday breakfast. First, the homemade bread wins. The cauliflower and broccoli salad in a creamy dressing is addictive. And the pork belly with peppers and cherry tomatoes is worthy of a repeat order. From what I can tell, there is a bit of a farm to table aspect that makes everything on the menu fresh. For Logan Square to be a hipster landscape, those working at Cellar Door Provisions don't have the detached hipster attitude. They're engaging and attentive without hovering. The cafe is not large and there is a constant ebb and tide of patrons. I will go back eventually and try some of the other offerings. read more

If you're hipster and looking for an expensive glass of good wine with smiley service this is your place. If you're looking for dinner and appropriately priced drinks I do not recommend. I will never return. Many of the menu items were not available, when we finally landed on something they had, it took over 45 minutes from ordering to delivery at the table for the grilled watermelon dish. read more

I had been to this place pre-COVID for lunch and revisited for dinner. Despite the long time since my previous review, most of my comments still hold. Their bread is excellent, so is the vibe and service. But the food falls short, both on taste and on portions. They also only have organic wine, which I don't like - no proper wine at all. I have the same feeling as last time - great potential wasted. read more

Came here on a weekday but fell in love with the vibe immediately. The quail here is amazing!

What a gem! We took a chance to visit on Friday night at peak time (around 7:30pm) - this place doesn't take reservations. All the tables were taken when we arrived, but the hostess offered for us to sit at the bar at the back corner and told us that she expects a table to be available within 20 minutes. We enjoyed a glass of natural wine and were indeed seated within 20 minutes. Between the two of us, we shared 4 plates - and I have to say the food was FANTASTIC. Presentation-wise, they were unassuming, but the taste was phenomenal and fresh. My favorite was the heirloom tomato dish - I must say I have never tried anything like this - fresh, sweet, juicy *chef's kiss*. The other dishes - kale, tuna steak, and beef tartare - were also very good. My boyfriend enjoyed the kale tremendously and said he would definitely come back just for that. read more

We had a very good dinner here with a party of six. We all did the set menu, plus bread/butter, a poached trout special, and an eggplant chocolate cake special. I really liked three of the four items on the set menu (the radicchio salad, the peach tomatoes in this amazing tomato-ish broth, and an incredible corn ice cream), and the trout was really great as well. I also liked the eggplant chocolate cake, which was almost like a banana bread. I will say, the bread and butter/dips (including a tomato dip that had a kick to it) may have been the single best dish of the night -- they were really amazing. If I have any complaints, it's that the eggplant from the set menu was chewier than you'd want (eggplant should be cooked ridiculously soft, in my opinion), and several of the dishes had a cilantro-infused sauce that ruined them for my wife, who has the cilantro-tastes-like-soap gene. That said, I really enjoyed it overall. read more

Friends that we stayed with in Chicago made reservations at Cellar Door Provisions one evening during our visit and it was definitely a unique experience! CDP is BYOB, so we made a quick trip for some vino to bring before our meal. When we arrived, we were seated at the long middle table- the dining area is not large, so the tables are arranged in a way to maximize the number of people who can be seated. The menu is set, with five courses that can be modified for all dietary restrictions. The first course was an appetizer of fresh bread that was absolutely delicious with a few different spreads. There was then a roasted root vegetable salad, a "fry bread" that I'm still not sure what exactly it was, but was so so tasty. Then a ravioli pasta was brought out that was made of buckwheat flour. Following the pasta was a bite of dessert- literally. The courses were all pretty small, but because there were so many, I left feeling full. CDP really is a fun place to go with friends or for a date if you're interested in experiencing different dining styles! I think foodies would really appreciate this place- not so much if you're looking for a super hearty meal. read more

first time and likely wont repeat. most of the food was good but in general everything was heavy, overpriced and had some misses. The leeks-tasty sauce but small portion and lots of grit from not washing the leeks enough which turned me off. the roasted beets had great flavor but skin on which was gross and leathery in the mouth. Salad had small bits of nuts which flavor wise would have been good but the nut were so small that it felt like grit. crudo was chewy with sinewy pieces. The cooked fish had lots of small bones. Water was slightly sparking but mostly flat. still had a nice night with the ladies but not a great foodie experience for us. read more

I have been enjoying this restaurant since it opened and was only breakfast and lunch. It was amazing, light touch with creative farm stand fresh ingredient pairings, everything small and artfully chosen, tried and true. The chef owner was a delight, charming with a sweet and understated confidence. Last night we decided to go there the second time since reopening to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. BIG MISTAKE. The food has changed and is barely recognizable as the light fresh simple creative food that always surprised me. The bland pasta was floating in a passable broth that while simple had no complexity and only some sad herbs to give it any hint of flavor. The beans were fine, boring, but fine, no flare -none of that special season mirroring (it's summer not winter) boundary pushing from before exists any longer. We ordered our entire meal at once there were so many great looking choices and asked the millennial suffering waitress with a chip on her shoulder if that seemed like a good balance of choices, and she said yes, one of about four words she uttered to us all night. But it was one poor choice after another with zero fresh vegetables or fresh flavors to balance it, the stuffed unrecognizable deep fried squash blossoms were blanketed in a batter so thick, so round, so hard and so mysterious that inside could have been a nice well flavored strachitelli or a pickle and it wouldn't have mattered because the fried surface ruined the delicate texture flavor. But our finishing nail in the coffin was a huge red portion of tuna stuck to a pottery plate with crushed spice on top that had the texture of sticky thick red flesh supposedly marinated with strawberries but was overwhelmingly texture forward and awful to cut into, one note, and nothing else on the plate, just one giant thick piece of flesh. The portions were huge compared to what they had been which was odd since they were also bland in looks and bland in flavor and just not good. But to make it worse the staff is now amazingly aloof and inattentive I wanted to apologize for walking in on a Wednesday night but it was clearly open for business from what the sign on the door indicated . I don't need fine dining service at a place like this but please come to the table without me trying to have eye contact with you for 4 minutes while the restaurant has 2 tables occupied- what are you doing???? and be can you be ready when you open instead of arranging your damn baby's breath at the bar while we sit and await your gracious visit to the table from which we will be paying your salary? Our waitress couldn't have been more ungrateful to have us dining there if we had waved $100 bills up and down and showered her with compliments on her mismatched tube socks and hand made organic linen farmers apron. When the restaurant was recognized in Bon Appetit the service copped a little attitude, maybe to be expected, but this was just entitled and unnecessary in this world of unkind figures I just sort of expect kindness and grace from people in our town, but unfortunately someone has allowed this entitlement to grow and it has grown like a wild fermentation which used to grace their plates. I predict sadly because we loved it dearly that CDP will be closed within a year. It was fun while it lasted but now full of itself and uncaring about its meals and it's customers equals- you won't have customers. read more

I absolutely love this place. It is tucked away in Logan square and connected to a unique wine shop. Cellar door provisions sells amazing organic wine as well. I have only had a bottle and some bar snacks. The olives were pretty pricey for being marinated olives but we are in Chicago and the ambiance is beautiful. Service was great. I would go back for dinner! Check out the wine shop next door. read more

From the atmosphere, to the service, to the food, everything about Cellar Door was underwhelming. Our bad experience was highlighted by the waiter bringing our entrees to the table next to us, leaving them there for 5 minutes and then attempting to remove them from that table and serve them to us. The positive reviews all seem to be from 4 years ago. Would not recommend. read more

Update your hours on Yelp! A sign on your door doesn't help us traveling from different neighborhoods on a Sunday! The last thing you want is to show up to a closed establishment. Says open today (Sunday) until 3 pm. But the sign on your door says otherwise. It's 2021 digital era here. This is annoying when it happens especially when you have friends in town. Ended up at The Whale instead! For everyone reading this; current hours are like W-Sat but I can't remember times. So beware before heading over to CDP. The vibe at The Whale is really cool though. So oh well. Maybe I will try going to CDP again, maybe not. Cheers~ read more
