About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
The Cellar is the perfect setting for an intimate and romantic evening of fine dining. In 1969, artistic craftsmen of Disneyland fame created a romantic rendezvous in the cellar of the old California Hotel. Intimate and cozy, the dining room is elegant amid structured arches and cave-like walls that are deecorated with wine casks and silver lanterns. Culinary excellence abounds with only the finest and freshest foods prepared in a lighter version of classical French cuisine and finely crafted cocktails which set a benchmark for all of Southern California!

If you are unable to obtain a reservation for the evening, please visit our sister restaurant which is located across the courtyard. https://www.opentable.com/r/hidalgo-fullerton

    We had not been to The Cellar for some time, but are happy to report that this establishment still delivers with great tasting food, excellent presentation, and outstanding wait staff (huge kudos to Jocelyn for her knowledge, suggestions, and attentiveness). Our party of six thoroughly enjoyed the evening and left vowing to return more often.

    We were celebrating our daughter's birthday. The service was great, thank you Lisa for making it a wonderful evening. This was the first visit for our two adult daughters, and we have created a monster, they want to return in the near future.

    We celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary at the Cellar. It was our first time there. A very unique atmosphere as the restaurant is literally in a basement! Decorated nicely! Our server, Jordan, was FANTASTIC! She was friendly, informative and efficient! She did a great job in assisting us with our dinner selections. I had the filet mignon and my wife had the braised ribs. Our meals were cooked to perfection. The food presentation was great! They have a wonderful wine list and signature cocktails. The only criticism is that the tables are fairly close (great I’d you’re a voyeur) making it difficult to converse. We will DEFINITELY return!

    Heather our server was very attentive and great. The French Onion soup was amazing. I had the chef’s special, which was scallops over a bed on lentils. It was okay, lentils were not flavorful at all. Overall dish was okay not worth the price. My husband had the braised short ribs pasta and he enjoyed it. We celebrated my husband’s birthday. This is a very nice place to experience at least once.

    Excellent cocktails, charcuterie, and an amazing steak sandwich. Paola is an excellent, friendly server. We like to visit at least once a month.
