Cellar on Penn itself has closed, but the wine tasting is now being held at their storefront up the street at 2519 Penn Avenue. We had a fabulous time. Steve and Kathy were so friendly and knowledgeable. The wines we sampled were all excellent. I highly recommend this experience.

I have had good experiences at Cellar on Penn - but last night we went for a birthday dinner. They were out of 3 of the 6 main entrees and we weren’t told until right as we were ordering. Having two gluten free guests and one who doesn’t eat meat - we weren’t able to actually get dinner. The staff was nice and apologetic but it was disappointing to have to leave without an actual meal.

They booked us for 7:30pm and no one called to tell us they closed the kitchen. I was taking someone out on a date and it was very unprofessional. We ordered and then were told there was no food. Our waiter was awesome though and very apologetic.

We went in for the wine tasting . It was a wonderful experience! The wine was delicious we actually got a mix case too take home. The charcuterie platter was wonderful and went with all the wines very well. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and explained all the wines and helped us pair food with them for the most robust taste. We will definitely be going back .

The service was slow, and it seemed to take a while to get our main course. Our Bruschetta Bread was stale, but the main course was very good.

We sat outside for Mother's Day brunch. The seats are picnic tables on the side of the building along 21st. The seating was odd, we went downstairs and told them we had a reservation and they took up upstairs to the outside and the "server" told us our table was "down there with the number 6 on the bottle" but did not walk us down. Then we were told to come back up to the table at the front corner of the building (corner of 21st and penn) to place our orders and pay. When the food is ready, they will bring it to us. We ordered brunch before the 2pm cut off but a cook came stomping out to our table and yelled at the woman helping us that brunch was over and the order should not have been placed. So we got new menus and ordered off that one which was fine. We had the sangria pitcher which had little to no alcohol in it. The food was not good either. We had the spinach dip and it looked like it has been sitting for a while before it came out cause the cheese had cooled and congealed. The spinach was a very weird color and it tasted bad. The meatballs were not bad but they seemed like they were from a bag of frozen ones. We also had the chicken sliders which were ok but had a weird after taste. The whole experience was very disorganized and chaotic. I would definitely not recommend this place or visit it again. Very disappointing in service and food.
