110 South Museum Street in Cartersville, Ga. never had it so good.
I had the pleasure of visiting The City Cellar & Loft last week. After sampling the food, I made them promise to always have a table ready for me.
The building once housed City Automotive, and then other establishments, giving way to M'Voorneen's Irish Pub, which in turn gave way to City Cellar & Loft. The outside is very "warehouse district". The door to the Cellar takes you down a short set of stairs to a below-ground dining room and bar.
That's where I met Beth, my hostess and server. Beth then showed me around the Cellar. The dark wood and the shadows lending to mystery, combined well with the high private booths that create an atmosphere of intimacy.
Beth then introduced me to Stasia Maddox (GM) and Bob Smith (Owner). Stasia showed me the Loft, which her crew was working feverishly to prepare for their first night. It was a wide open area with a long brick wall as a backdrop for the bar. There were plenty of tables, a band platform and a hardwood dance floor. There will be a lot of fun had in that room.
Back downstairs, it was time to try the goods. Chef Sean Pruitt did a fantastic job putting together some fine comfort food. From the Fried Green Tomatoes, to the moist and flavorful Pork Chops, Beef Tenderloin and Smashed New Potatoes, and finally the OMG Pie, a better meal would be tough to find.
When you visit, make Stasia tell you how she came up with the name for her buttermilk pie (OMG Pie). Her story will make you smile.
