Price: Expensive
• Gastro Pub • Uptown
Booked 43 times today
The Cellar at Duckworth’s combines gastropub fare from our chef-driven menu, with a tap list of specialty and rare beers served at appropriate temperatures to their styles, and signature cocktails that are hand crafted to order by our mixologists. Inspired by an era of time that’s long past, the underground space built originally in 1912, naturally has a speakeasy, prohibition-era feel with its original brick walls and exposed ceiling joists. Even our attentive staff dresses the part from the era. We hope to take you back in time for a bit while enjoying good food and drink with friends and family.

    We celebrated our wedding anniversary at MOA and were very glad that we did. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the front door to our table. Our server offered great advice and recommendations, showed us how to cook each dish and made sure we weren’t rushed, pacing the dishes and what was cooked when. We are going to bring the whole family back soon for another delicious meal. Definitely a fan of MOA.

    Fantastic meal! Great ambience and service! We started with the Ground Duck Flatbread and both of us agreed that we should cancel the rest of our order and just get two of those. Amazing combination of flavors. Our entrees did not disappoint. I had Grouper and my partner had steak. Both were cooked perfectly. Our waitress was wonderful and suggested drinks for us as well as kept our water glasses full. She was attentive without being in our face. We will definitely go again! They don’t have parking but there is a large parking garage at the same corner.

    The sports tv sets DEFINITELY lower the experience in Sophia’s l. Highly recommend the tvs be put into a smaller, less conspicuous area for those who, heaven forbid, absolutely cannot enjoy an evening without staring at a tv screen. Sophia’s can elevate itself away from the lowered quality of Sports Bar by putting the tv reception in a small discrete area.
