The Cellar Restaurant & Lounge on the River - Owego (NY)

5 /5 Jessica LaChance: 10 out of 10 food, service & experience! After myself moving from a larger more populated city it has been difficult to find a full food experience in this region until I found this spot. By far the best salad that I’ve had in the region, great mixologist behind the bar (Jon) and all around friendly staff. And coming from an artist perspective, the decor and ambiance of the space is also a huge win!

5 /5 Kathleen Swackhammer: My son, his girlfriend and I ate here on December 20, 2025. I have a sensitivity issue with garlic, onions, and high fructose amongst other things. I ordered the salmon but was not able to have the teriyaki sauce it was in. I asked if the chef could do something for me that did not include onion or garlic. The chef made a butter and lemon sauce to put over the delicious piece of salmon that was cooked to perfection. It was fabulous! The server insured that the side of potatoes did not have any garlic or onion as well. The salad with blu cheese dressing was, again, excellent as well. I very much appreciate the special treatment I received for my sensitive gut. We will eat there again for sure. Thank you to the staff.

5 /5 Richard Northrop: Easily made a reservation over the phone for our anniversary dinner. Our server was friendly and delightful, even with everything being made fresh, the food came out properly and will time so we didnt feel rushed to eat our other food. Everything tasted fantastic and the atmosphere is a very nice, cozy feeling

5 /5 Charles Hollenbeck: This is a nice place with multiple distinct vibes. The main dining room and bar area are classy and relaxed, with rich woods and leather. The back dining room overlooks the water and is almost like a sun room. Then there is the porch area, where you can enjoy the weather and stand outside. In a way, The Cellar is like if you took Moxie Grill in Conklin, NY and mixed it with MJ’s in Owego. Overall, the food was so good that my dinner can be mistaken for a stock photo. This restaurant continues to be a solid addition to Owego’s restaurant lineup.
