It may have been an error on their part, or just someone gone out of the store at that time. We have learned never to plan dinner in town on Mondays as that seems to be the day that the restaurant owners choose to let their employees enjoy a day off after the busy weekend.

That's kind of a letdown...I was hoping for a bar with pizza by the slice and other good bar foods.

Good stuff!!! Had Tiramisu and Pistachio, both excellent, Hubby tried Raspberry. Very refreshing. I also noticed a new restaurant next to Starbucks. I also checked out the Gelato Place yesterday.

The My Town Grocery and Gelato place has a Tiramisu flavored gelato too! Yowza! Tastes like the real thing, no kidding. And yes, Friday night my husband and I had our first Cellar Door Biistro dining experience...What a perfect date night destination! First of all, ATMOSPHERE! Love it here... the lighting, the intimate seating arrangements, throw pillows, cool jazzy music, and very nice service. The kind that makes the evening special, (our waiter was Niko) and he was attentive and yet discreet in attending to our needs and wants all through our visit. The Chardonnay I had was very nice, (I can't tell you the name, but it was by the glass) and my husband just had a beer in a pilsner glass. For appetizers, we had the amazing crab dip,served hot with toasted little seasoned bread slices, and it had a really flavorfull creamy consistency with abundant lumps of sweet crab. Also the cream of crab soup, a not too thick and heavy recipe with the taste of more than just crab and cream, it was totally delicious! Entrees were the crab cakes for me, (big ones, and all meat with little sauce with rich taste that was very similar to the crab soup.) My husband had the Chesapeake Bay Bird for dinner, a chicken breast stuffed with crab and topped with cheese. He said it was wonderful and he was glad to have tried something new, as he usually goes for the red meat. It was a large breast and loaded with crab imperial. Steamed veggies (green and yellow squash & carrots) in white wine, garlic and butter (light on the butter) and the half-mashed, red-skinned potatoes were the starch of the day. All fresh and tasty. Dessert: Creme Brulee! and Vanilla and Chocolate Mousse served in a beautiful, edible tulip shaped chocolate cup! Whew, that's it. Go try the Cellar Door and see for yourself. It is really a good time. Hey, Amber. The My Town Grocery and Gelato place has a Tiramisu flavored gelato too! Yowza! Tastes like the real thing, no kidding.

Excellent gelato! I believe it's sourced from Dolcefine, a company based in Baltimore. They even had my favorite flavor - Stracciatella. Go get some! I'd love to see this place stick around. And keep in mind, gelato is a lower in fat and calories than traditional ice cream and some how manages to taste even better. I went to the gelato place this afternoon and was totally impressed.
