Editorial Review for The Cellar – by Kate McLaughlin

In Short
A 1,400-label wine list, haute French cuisine and an elegantly dressed underground dining room, complete with crystal chandeliers, plush velvet seats, crisp white linens and Old World charm, make this Cellar one of north Orange County's premier fine-dining favorites. Tucked into the basement of the historic 1922 Hotel California building, it boasts a small, but mighty menu. Old-school favorites include veal Oscar and tournedo with truffled goose liver and Perigueux sauce.

User Reviews for The Cellar

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This was my first time at The Cellar and I have to say it was a pleasant surprise. I am accustomed to driving to Los Angeles or West LA for fine dining and was surprised to find such an establishment in Fullerton. I can only express utter joy of finding a gem like The Cellar in Orange County. The food and the service equaled that of other 5 Star establishments in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The food was better than Melisse and the JiRaffe as they are extremely overpriced. My family and I had a wonderful time. You must try the French Onion Soup for starters and souffle for desert. The food overall was superb as well as the service. I look forward to revisiting the restaurant.

I recently visited The Cellar restaurant for the first time. The first thing I noticed was the decor. AMAZING! It turns out the people who did Pirates of the Carribean at Disney Land also did The Cellar! The food was perfect. Very creative. The scallops are a must have. Thank you to the owner (Ryan I believe) for being so gracious. We didn't have a reservation and he was more than accomodating. I'll be back for sure!!

Pros: Incredible atmosphere, lots to look at. Great food and great wine!

Cons: It may be a little difficult to get down there if you are disabled.
