Went here for the first time on Friday. Loved the atmosphere! The food was great...I had the Rachel with sweet potato fries. Loved how the fries are thinly cut and crispy! Gabe was our server and he was friendly, kind, and eager to make sure we had a great experience. He made the experience excellent! Will definately be back!

Delicious food! Had lunch after a nice hike in the area. Ordered the loaded tots and crispy chicken sandwich. The tots were brilliant and the aioli on the chicken sandwich was phenomenal. Can't wait to try their fish next time!

We had a fantastic dinner last night at Cellar 152. I had braised short ribs & my wife had salmon. Both dishes were excellent as was the service. It was the best meal we’ve have in Elk Rapids by far.

Very nice restaurant downtown, the food was really good. We had the Brussels as an appetizer and crispy chicken and cherry chicken croissant, all were amazing, lots of flavor and obviously prepared with fresh ingredients. Home made ranch as a bonus ;)

My first time at Cellar 152. I was impressed with their menu & service. I normally am not a fan of potato salad; however, the potato salad I had with their BBQ Meatloaf was excellent. I highly recommend this place very easily accessed in downtown Elk Rapids!
