Throughout the transitions at CityPlace and now Rosemary Square, City Cellar has remained a cornerstone of success with a packed lunch, happy hour, dinner business, and weekend brunch throughout the year.

“City Cellar was one of our original flagship restaurants and we are so proud to celebrate 20 years,” reflects Todd Herbst, co-owner of Big Time Restaurant Group.  “We attribute our success to many factors, including the terrific management by Michael “Iggy” Igantowicz, the incredible culinary team led by executive chef Rolando Anoceto and Big Time’s culinary director Lisabet Summa, our award-winning wine list, which features 500 bottles and 70 by the glass, and the attention to detail and service delivered by the team each day.”

“Having served as the general manager from the time City Cellar opened its doors, it’s gratifying to see so many of our original guests continue to frequent the restaurant as well as a new and loyal following among discerning diners,” says Michael “Iggy” Igantowicz.  “I am proud to call City Cellar my home away from home for 20 years, to oversee our team, as well as our award-winning wine program.”
