    Parmesan crusted chicken salad
    Lynn K.

    Went with a group for dinner on Saturday. A couple of people in our party started with ordering the old-fashioned. Both felt that it was not a well-mixed cocktail, possibly missing the simple syrup or sugar. Our group ordered chicken marsala, Parmesan crusted chicken salad, roasted beet salad, chicken & broccoli fettuccine Alfredo and pappardelle with chicken. The food arrived quickly and presentation was good. However, all of our dishes seemed to be under seasoned and rather bland. Breadsticks or pretzel breadsticks served along with the meals were cold. Just not great overall.

    This was our first visit to The Stone Cellar and it couldn't have been better! From our attentive waitress to the delicious meal, everything was spot on. When I wasn't sure what to order, our waitress made a great recommendation. Dessert was absolutely phenomenal too! We'll definitely be returning.

    My husband and I decided to try a little more upscale restaurant , so we chose the Stone cellar! I'm so glad we did. First of all the building inside is absolutely stunning. My waitress was on point, she did a great job. The food oh my lanta, we ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls which was one of the best things I've ever eaten! I chose the crab cakes ( was just a smidge burned to my liking but still absolutely delicious) the big lumps of crab is so beyond appreciated. My husband did the NY steak and it was a beautiful cut and made exactly how he likes it. The place is pricey for the town but it's honestly a place I WILL be returning too. I just hope they have the pork chops they had offered online those looked banging! Until next time stone cellar keep making beautiful food!

    Deep Fried Banana Dumplings

    We were visiting Altoona from out of town and searched Yelp for the highest rated restaurants. The Stone Cellar popped up so we figured we'd give it a try. We were very happy with our experience. We called to make reservations earlier in the afternoon, day of. They were able to accommodate us. The restaurant is inside of an apartment complex, so we got a bit misplaced trying to find it, but once we did everything was great. The restaurant's atmosphere was cute, cozy, and it was clean! The waitress, Chelsea, was very sweet and was able to answer our questions about the menu items and offer her suggestions, which were on point! We started with a caprese appetizer, which was just a perfect size to share, not to big to ruin our appetite for our meals. It was very tasty and included some pesto sauce which I enjoyed! I got the caprese chicken, which was so delicious! It was tasty and nicely seasoned and had a good amount of sauce and cheese. I enjoyed that it included prosciutto! The side of green beans and potatoes are worth a mention, too! So yummy! My boyfriend really enjoyed his meal as well, chicken piccata. It was a special occasion, so we treated ourselves to dessert. We had to get the banana dumplings because that isn't something we see often on menus. They were better than we had even hoped they would be! My boyfriend and I would both enthusiastically recommend this restaurant to anyone. Everything from the atmosphere, service, food, and the overall experience was great! If we ever find ourselves in Altoona again, this will be our first stop!

    the entrance to the cellar

    Overall I liked this place. Couple of tips if you're making the trip: Entrance is in the 'Shoppe Entrance' - and bear to the left. This place had a Tuscan vibe to it - Italian artisan walls with ceiling paintings and frescoes everywhere. Seemed higher class but there wasn't a dress code. We didn't have a reservation and were immediately sat in the large room where bar is located. Ordered the potstickers to start as well as a mixed drink. I will say the mixed drink had a very light pour to it - so much that I had a second when normally I just have one. Potstickers we're good - would get those again and recommend ordering. For my meal I ordered the pappardelle pasta and added chicken. I thought it was good though the sauce was on the runny side and even though this is a thin sauce dish I would recommend cooking the pasta with the sauce for a few before plating. Had the cheesecake which was good but you can see was undercooked - as it was pudding like near crust. Overall - I liked this - would have liked to a have a few more menu options but what we chose I was happy with.

    Pistachio Crusted Salmon
    Taylor B.

    The Stone Cellar was a very unique dining experience. The ambiance was very pretty with a facade. The staff was super friendly and our waitress was prompt and courteous. I got the roasted quinoa vegetable bowl with scallops - which I thought was a unique protein to add to a salad. They were delicious, as well as the whole salad! My fiancé got the pistachio crusted salmon, which came with a rice pilaf and the vegetable of the day. The pistachio crust really stole the show - it had a cherry-like flavor to it, which made it both sweet & tart! The salmon's was cooked well and wasn't overdone. Overall, we would definitely come back again and try some more of their dishes.

The service however was very slow. 15 minutes to get drinks we ordered every time, and the establishment wasn't busy at all. Asked for one beer and got a different one. My friend said it's not normally like that, so take it for what you will. The menu is limited in my opinion. I got the Old Bay wings and they were cooked very well, but a little heavy handed on the seasoning. I am from Old Bay country and even then so it was too much. Nothing a little brush off couldn't handle though. The burger and Stromboli looked great, but I can't vouch for the taste. Would look at the menu online prior to arriving to ensure there's something you're in the mood for. Beer selection is wasn't bad and the music was good. Overall I say this is a nice restaurant/bar. Don't expect to be blown away by anything, but it feels like what they do is consistent and tastes good. If you want to meet some friends or just grab some bar food with a few brews this would be the place to try out. If you're looking for something a little more, might look elsewhere.

First, the location is convenient to find. It sits right on the main street, and there is a welcome flag outside. There is plenty of parking and the outside of the building is very nice and well kept. Those are the last good things I can say about this location. We walked inside and it looked crowded, but in actuality, there were less than 30 people in the entire place and only about eight sitting at the bar. I do consulting work so I travel frequently and when I do my husband and I take those opportunities to visit wineries and distilleries in the area and this is the first distillery I have ever been in where the display is located right behind the barstools and with the people sitting at the bar And their friends standing behind them, we could not even see what the distillery had to offer. We stood at the bar for about 15 minutes and the bartender never even acknowledged we were there. Now again, it looked busy, but of the 8 to 10 people sitting at the bar there were 4 to 5 at the far end of the bar who were there either before or after a wedding reception that should have been cut off , and they were monopolizing his attention. After we waited for him to take a drink order for more than 15 minutes after we were told he would be back twice, we just decided to buy liquor to try at home. I squeezed my way amongst the group to find the very small display in the back And literally just grabbed a few small sample bottles and one bottle of caramel something and made my way back to the bar. We put the bottles on the bar, put my husband's wallet next to the bottles, and we stood there for 33 minutes, I timed it on my phone because my husband and I had a bet on how long it would take the bartender to come back. I won at 30 and at 33 minutes. We walked out and left the liquor on the bar. The gentleman sitting in the seat next to where we were standing, could see our frustration and told us if we wanted to go to a real distillery to go to the Moonshine Distillery in Namty Glo, which we did and it was worth the drive! Unfortunately, this location looks like it's a bar with some samples on the wall, which is great if you wanna be a bar, but for people that look for distilleries and spend $$$$ when they are there, this is not the place to go. My recommendation, always acknowledge your customers when they are at the bar, even if it's just to say hey I'm busy, I'll be right back, but never ignore them. I have been to distilleries and wineries that are in old barns, in the middle of nowhere, and they still smell like active farms, but, the liquor was superb, the displays were amazing, and the people that worked there were friendly, engaging, and just amazing people which made the experience a five star visit every time.
