Awesome experience! The food is excellent and Rachel is such an awesome host. The wine pairings are excellent and I enjoy learning about each one. I always learn something new each time. I'll keep coming back!

Our last experience was lovely except for one complaint. Three of the four of us received a nice thick inside slice of turbot. One guest at our table received a thin tail piece. It was disappointing...just thought I would mention this issue for you to consider.

My only complaint was that it was a bit cold down there. I know this is probably a challenge in the winter with hot air rising:). I'm not usually one to complain about temperature but I did notice that (for whatever that's worth). We loved it!

We consistently have had an excellent 2+ hours exploring the weekly food and wine parings offered by the sommelier and chefs at the "Cellar" and hearing the reasonings behind the selections, and then having the opportunity to make our own judgements. This is a delightful and unique Marquette experience.

The atmosphere and experience at The Cellar is Marquette’s finest experience in culinary delight. Chefs Ryan Howe and Orion Ingmire have this way of combining vegetables and legumes into unique combinations with spices and herbs that melt in your mouth. It is exquisite. They offer a meat entree as well as a vegetarian entree. The prix fixe menu is incredibly reasonable and plan on their wine pairings. Marcella picks the best to complement the food. Marquette’s most exciting food scene.

The Cellar at Zephyr is one of my favorite places to dine. The food is sublime and Marci and company have created one of the best overall dining experiences in Michigan.

This was our first visit to The Cellar at Zephyr and it was wonderful. I can't think of anything that could be improved. The food was amazing as was the service and ambience. Our son and his wife (who are vegan) were visiting from out of town and it was so nice to be able to go out to eat and have such a lovely menu that would suite them and non-vegans as well. Bravo to all who make this venue such a special experience. We will definitely come back again.

It was so nice to have an elegant, delicious vegan meal that I didn’t have to prepare! The food was skillfully prepared and wine selections complemented each dish perfectly (no surprises there). My only wish is that the vegan menu was offered more than once a month! We’ll definitely be back come August.

The “Cellar” provides an experience in dining unlike any other in Marquette! If you like to explore unique food favors with wine parings selected by a certified Sommelier in a relaxed atmosphere, this special place is for you. However, if you want a big serving of familiar food you know you like served fast, and are not interested in exploring new tastes, you may be happier at McDonalds.

It was a lovely dining experience with my friends celebrating a birthday. Hopefully in the future I would love to see more local farm ingredients and Michigan forage items with a twist on varying texture combinations and fun food plating styles. Thank you!

Lovely evening. Incredible service. The wine pairings were unbeatable. The food was fantastic and it was nice to have menu items we don’t normally find in this region. However, we think the chefs are just getting warmed up and the best is yet to come. We’d do it again and again. Thanks!

Our server Rachel was delightful, friendly, helpful, and professional. First two courses were delicious- Miso-Mushroom Wanton soup followed by an eggplant chow mein. The tofu and lentil "meatballs" were tasty. However, those that chose the pork meatballs thought they were bland. Personally I wish there had been more vegetables offered. Dessert was a tea rice cake that was tasty but our table gave it mixed reviews because of the unusual texture. Overall the meal was over $30-40 more than we normally would spend at a higher priced restaurant. We chose the night randomly, unaware that we could view the fixed menu which changes every weekend prior to booking. For the price, if the food offered was something I didn't like, I would have been disappointed so do your homework and select the date of the reservation based on food you are interested in trying. That being said, we were all happy to be out in the lovely atmosphere, with great service, enjoying and trying things were were not familiar with. Thanks for a fun evening.

Loved the experience. Great setting. Soup & salad both great. Entree should have had a few more potatoes. Dessert was delicious but serving size was too small. This was the most expensive meal we’ve had in a few years. Quality and presentation of food was excellent but portion sizing needs to go up a bit.

Service a little slow, didn’t get acknowledged after we sat for at least 10 minutes. It was chilly, though we were later given a heater. Food and wine were outstanding. Great atmosphere. Will definitely return.

Orion was a great waiter. The food was good but was lacking in depth. The salad was missing a component. The dessert was basic not gourmet…could have used a baking element. All good, but for the price ahould have been more conplete.
