Okay, we've been a little slow here at Boston Burger Blog in 2010, yes there was The Burger Bash, which was amazing, but we haven't done a review since December. Meanwhile, my burger list grows every day, and it's not always easy to coordinate a burger time for two people (yes, Nick is real) even if I'd love to go once a week. In any case, we headed to The Cellar on Saturday night, not our first go around as we were there for the Burger Crawl, but that day was all about gluttony, not exactly a day spend on enjoying, tasting or analyzing the burger. One thing I did have in mind was the bun, as is always the case the bun is a major factor in my burger experience, and the wrong choice can really mess things up. I love brioche on its own, but rarely does it work in a burger for me, because there's just too much of it and it can be too rich in taste. The Cellar does its best attempt to make the most pretentious burger it can, using brioche, arugula, grass-fed beef, aioli, and truffle, in an otherwise non-pretentious atmosphere. If you haven't been, when they say The Cellar, they really mean it, but it's a great space regardless, perfect to meet friends for a drink or two and enjoy classic pub food done with a twist. I do have to say, the truffle-rosemary fries are some of the best we've had, maybe the best, perfectly crispy, and infused with the wonderful aroma of rosemary and truffle. How they stay pale blond and still deliver the crunch is anyone's guess. The burger is very good, I have to admit, but that damn brioche just doesn't make any sense, would love an explanation from someone who prefers it because it doesn't work for me. The beef delivers, full of flavor but is not quite juicy enough. Not dry, just not juicy, although it is cooked just right. The Vermont cheddar, while melted for once, gets lost, as does the aioli, because the bun just soaks everything right up, the sandwich doesn't come into sync, it's either a big bite of all bread or all beef, but rarely everything together. And it's too bad, despite everything, individually, there is a ton of flavor, just not as a complete package. I guess part of me almost wants that classic, ketchup and pickle flavor, I don't know that I prefer aioli and arugula on a burger, but you never know, I'm open to change. The fries here really do steal the show, and for $10, you get a good burger, upper echelon for sure and I would certainly recommend this place, just not quite good enough for elite status.

I would have given this restaurant four stars, but the interminable waiting really brought it down. We arrived at 7:30 on a Wednesday night and were told there would be 20-30 minute wait for our party of four. Which was fine -- we got ourselves a seat at the bar. But we ended up waiting over an hour and a half. The hostess did come over about halfway through the wait to tell us the table was almost ready, but this apparently was not the case. After we sat down, the waitress took our order fairly quickly , but then the appetizers didn't arrive at our table for 40 minutes. By this point, we were practically gnawing on the table. One of the appetizers was just an order of fries, so we were a little mystified as to why that took so long and why they hadn't sent it out early to placate us. If anything is going to cheer me up, it's those truffle fries! Anyway, the food ended up being very good. I'd highly recommend the fish fritters, the steak, the duck, the pumpkin soup, and of course, the fries! I really wish I had enjoyed this experience more, but unfortunately, the waiting really ruined it. It seems to me that if a restaurant isn't going to take reservations, they should really try and get their kitchen in order so that they can turn tables quickly. I'd go back to the downstairs bar for beer and fries, but I don't think I'd go back to the restaurant.

I was a regular at this place. I went there almost every week for the music with groups of friends. The last time I was there I saw how the staff can treat their customers. It was enough to make me want to NEVER GO back to this place. I could deal with the fact that it always seemed like a chore to serve a glass of wine to you. But watching the bartender insult and belittle their customers was enough to make me want to take my money to another establishment.
