    Dinner special: pork loin with corn polenta and pineapple slaw
    Samantha P.

    This place is an absolute gem! The moment you walk into The Cellar, you are blown away by how gorgeous the space is--the ambience is intimate, beautifully designed, and perfect for a special night out. The service was top-notch from start to finish. Every staff member we encountered was incredibly warm and welcoming. To top off an already amazing evening, our wonderful waitress brought out complimentary macarons to help us celebrate a birthday, which was such a thoughtful and classy touch. As for the menu, both the food and the drinks were absolutely delicious. The pork loin dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. We had an incredible experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!

    This restaurant is a vibe. Unique ambiance, dim and dungeony feel but not in a scary way. They have a vast drink menu with one drink priced at $150. Appetizers never disappoint. Beef carpaccio has a unique taste not for every palate but if you love capers try it. Steak was like butter and melted in your mouth. Chefs special Rigatoni was creamy and savory. Salmon was crunchy on top but not overcooked and perfectly flavored. Lobster bisque was heavenly. Savory, creamy and served table side. Servers were young but knowledgeable and professional. It's a place you want to keep experiencing. A dinner of 4 with drinks and dessert came out to almost $600.

    Ambiance was good, they had many signs leading to where the restaurant entrance is. We loved the escargot, it was a different flavor and serving style than what we're used to. The lobster bisque was good but we thought it could be 30% less salty and it would be perfect. The filet mignon was tender and cooked well tho I'm not too sure about the outside char flavoring, was too burnt for my taste. Our server Shelton was excellent and made the night special as we were celebrating our anniversary.

    Love this place, especially the bar area. The bar has a different menu than the restaurants and we love it. The steak sandwich is one of the favorites. It's always busy. Make sure to make reservations if you want to dine in at the restaurant, the bar is first come, first serve. Lily was great. Love the speakeasy style place.

    We went here for Valentine's Day! We were seated in a booth. I love the booths. The booths were across this beautiful wall of wine. I love the red and black decor here. He had the steak and I had fish. Both were great! Our appetizer was the bone marrow with jam! Super good! We had the chocolate soufflé for dessert! Of course that was delicious! The drinks were great too. This is a late post so I forgot what the drinks were called. Service was excellent! We love this restaurant. Came back a second time in April. We will be back many more times!

    Ceaser Salad with Salmon

    Loved this restaurant! It was really cute and does really resemble pirates of the Caribbean, the food was really good, I orders Ceaser salad with salmon and my bf got the salmon entree, we also got the chocolate souffle, and we are definitely coming back!

    First, it took us forever to find. It's in the backend of a plaza, same one as Somi Somi. You'll hopefully see signs pointing towards a set of dark stairs that take you down to THE CELLAR. You pull the giant door and enter a vibe. It's definitely ready for Halloween, a bit dim, old fashioned, lives up to the centuries old feel. We split some soups. Both the lobster bisque and French onion soups were solid. Lobster bisque was super creamy, delicious. French onion was surprisingly mild, not heavy on the salt, very nice. I got the tenderloin, which was fine. But the winner was the salmon, very well-cooked with a super crisp skin. Service was attentive. They accept reservations, but do have a cancellation policy with associated fee for last minute cancellations. Gratuity included for groups of 6+

    Five stars for food, service and ambience! This hidden gem offers a warm and upscale experience whether you're experiencing the bar or dining rooms. Tonight, my husband and I decided to visit for Happy Hour. Eric and Paola were fantastic. Eric's recommendation of the menu was perfect and Paola's mixology story was impressive. We will definitely be back!

    Lovely place for a romantic dinner! My husband and I celebrated our dual birthday and it was our first time at The Cellar. The place is very different, underground vibe but a romantic setting. The service is outstanding, food and drinks are delicious! We even received complimentary macrons to celebrate our birthdays! Loved our experience and I think you would too! Book a reservation to get seated right away, but there is a very nice bar with great vibes that you can have a drink while you wait.

    We went for the Christmas Eve dinner. It was three courses and dessert. The presentation pay price included tax and tip. If you order drinks you had a drink tab.. We got there a bit earlier than our scheduled time, but we're seated right away. This place is cool. You enter by going down a flight of stairs. Its like you're really in a wine cellar. Our server took our drink order, since we knew what we wanted to eat, we ordered food too. From each course we ordered something different so we could try different things. Course one Mary had the French onion Tartlet. I had lobster croquet. Course two Mary had squash soup, I had the salad. Course three Mary had Filet Mignon. I went with the pan seared halibut. For dessert Mary ordered apple tart, I had chocolate mousse We shared everything except the tart because I don't like apple. The food was amazing and the service too. Mary always says how good the lobster bisque is but today it was on the menu. We will have to come back. We loved all the food. Our non alcoholic drinks were also tasty. My favorite was the lobster and halibut. I will definitely return, and look forward to other special menus. The Cellar is the perfect place to bring a date.

    My friends and I chose to do New Year's Eve Eve dinner here and it was a blast. We made reservations and upon arriving, it was crowded as most of the seating towards the bar area and to the right of the restaurant were all taken. It wasn't until we were finishing up that we noticed that almost every table was filled. The host, to the servers and helpers were really friendly and made our experience a great one. Our server also gave us good recommendations as we ordered the bone marrow and chateaubriand as she stated and enjoyed it. The chateaubriand was cooked to our liking. The filet was juicy and flavorful along with the red wine demi-glace & béarnaise sauce really kicked the flavors up a notch. The mashed potatoes were so thick and creamy and the most perfectly seasoned carrots I've ever eaten at a restaurant. Another highlighting dish was the lobster bisque. Hands down, the best lobster bisque any of us girls have ever tried. It was creamy, rich, flavorful, lobstery without tasting like the ocean if that makes sense. We also tried the French onion soup, Caesar salad, beet salad, mushroom ravioli, Mac and cheese, and Brussel sprouts. The French onion soup was one of the better ones I've tried, but I think it's also because there was filet mignon in it. The Caesar salad was interesting as it was served with corn. Honestly I wasn't a fan of the paired flavors of the sweet and tangy Caesar. The beef salad was a better salad option. The mushroom ravioli had an amazing flavor and consistency in the filling but fell short as it was paired with an acidic tomato sauce. I would have loved it in a white sauce and maybe a little bit of truffle. Unfortunately, the Mac and cheese as well as Brussel sprouts were nothing special. We finished off the night with a salted caramel soufflé, creme brûlée and sticky toffee pudding. I was quite full and only tried the creme brûlée and it was a good way to end the night. The ambiance was cozy and romantic. It's dark chic while others might describe it as a little goth. The staff is friendly and attentive while the chef in the back knows exactly how to cook your stake perfectly! They had good drinks as well as a few non alcoholic beverages that were just as yummy. If you get a chance to check out this place, I highly recommend the lobster bisque and the chateaubriand.

    Second visit, and The Cellar continues to deliver a consistently excellent experience. We had a 6:00pm reservation but arrived right at 5:00pm when they opened. Instead of waiting, we decided to start at the bar and learned they offer happy hour daily and yes, even on weekends! The bar itself is intimate and fills up fast, so we snagged one of the nearby cocktail tables instead. Lilly was our server during HH and she was wonderful. I ordered the Night Train- a spirit-forward cocktail that was bold, sophisticated, and perfectly on brand for this elegant, speakeasy-like space. The chocolate garnish on top was a nice touch. I also enjoyed a glass of Cab from the HH menu. My boyfriend went with a classic Manhattan, which felt like the perfect fit for the moody, old-world vibe of the bar. We hadn't eaten all day, which led to some questionable (but delicious) decisions. Watching what the couple next to us ordered off the HH menu didn't help either. We ordered the bread and the HH mac and let me tell you what a big mistake that was! This is how you ruin your appetite, people!!! Once we moved into the dining room, Caden took over as our server. He was friendly, fast, and efficient. We ordered everything at once, and he expertly coursed it out for us. What we ordered: Grilled Spanish Octopus Skewers - Delicious overall, though the octopus was just a tad dry. Still enjoyable and not a deal breaker. Nordic Blue Salmon - My boyfriend told me to order something else since I eat salmon all the time... I ignored him! Zero regrets!! The salmon was perfectly cooked (medium, just how I like it), and the roasted squash and oyster mushrooms complemented the dish beautifully. Unfortunately, I only managed two bites before surrendering. Happily boxed it up though and it held up incredibly well the next day. 10oz Cape Grimm Filet Mignon - My boyfriend's order and a recommendation from Caden. He usually doesn't gravitate toward filet mignon, but he absolutely loved it. For dessert, we ordered the Sticky Toffee Pudding, and it was heaven in every bite. The Cellar has been part of downtown Fullerton since its grand opening in 1970, originally built into the underground space of a historic brick building. With its stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and European wine-cellar ambiance, it's easy to see why it has endured for over five decades.There's a reason this restaurant has stood the test of time and remains a staple of Orange County fine dining 55 years later.

    Ask the Community - The Cellar Restaurant

    Not Really. Casual is fine.

    Is there a kids menu?

    No there is not. It's a fine dining restaurant, but kids are allowed.

    Are there gluten free options a available?

    To my knowledge I didn't see "gluten free" pasta.. but I know they have meats and seafood that are gluten free! Definitely options.

    Is there beer menu? If so what types of beers are available?

    Yes, there is a beer menu. There are international options; I had a Belgian beer when I was there.

    With Valentines tomorrow, do you have some walk in availability or reservations only? Thanks (another potential last min walk in guests)?

    Are they handicapped accessible?

    When we dined there the other evening, they seemed to usher a fella in a wheelchair through the kitchen. So it can be done.

    Do they have zabiha halal meals?

    Is there a dress code?

    No dress code. People will be causal in jeans n shirts and also dressed up. Dealers choice.

    Are babies or kids allowed?

    Hi, I did see an infant with a couple, however I didn't see any other kids. Not sure if that helps

    Where do you park?

    Behind the building, even in parking structure. It looks like parking for the apartments but there is public parking in the building.

    For Valentine's Day will you have a pre fixe menu per person?

    They do have pre fix for Valentine's

    Saw corkage fee 2019 @$35 (max 2-bottles), is this still same? Also can champagne be one of the bottles? Thank you?

    Yes, the corkage fee is $35 per bottle (including sparkling wine). If you purchase a bottle from The Cellar, they will waive your corkage fee.

    Will there be zombie theme for Halloween time again? Ive been wanting to go since 5yrs ago and I finally went last night, the cocktails, food and dessert were so good.

    Is the wine list available online?

    It changes a lot so it's not online, but if you call they will send it to you.

    On yelp it says "Monday there is no table service, there is full bar and small plates". Does this mean there is a reduced menu on Mondays?

    This is actually incorrect. They are full service on Mondays.

    Is there inside seating available?

    Yes. They are seating at the required 25% occupancy.

    What do they offer for Happy Hour?

    Yes! A great happy hour from 5-6pm

    Are reservations required for dinner and what are the prices?

    On the weekends, yes I would make reservations. You can do it via OpenTable. Usually $30-$50 per person. I have been going there for more than a decade. It's an amazing place

    Is this restaurant more quiet & intimate? Not loud like Mastros Steakhouse? I been trying to look for a intimate/QUIET restaurant to have dinner at.

    Yes, this place is quiet and intimate. We had a very nice wedding anniversary dinner for two there.

    Grew up here but oddly I've never been to The Cellar. Looking for a place for my 60th birthday in a week. Do I need reservations for the bar? Hear cocktails are amazing. Can we order dessert too? Is there music?

    No reservations needed for the bar and yes the cocktails are amazing! They do have delicious dessert but no live music as far as I have experienced. Happy Birthday!

    I think this is on everyone's speakeasy list!…read more Make sure you make a reservation It is very packed. They offer bar seating and booth / table Follow the wall from Randy's donuts and Look for a wall of Japanese sake/beer barrels and head towards the restaurant - the rolling boil. There will be a check in host and stand there and wait (it will be located up against the wall with a big secret door right next to the hostess station) It's very New York inside. When I first came in Spring with the amazing, Karen, the menu and everything was great Now, I took my friend who was in town from Nashville and it was a brand new theme. It's the great Gatsby. Even our waitress, Jasmine was dressed for the occasion. I would say this place is known for Absinthe. They have cocktails featuring it or you can get one of the huge apparatus (huge and glowing green) which, if you are into it? I highly recommend. Just one of the huge apparatus makes one regular drink. Or, what Karen and I did, was split it and make it into a shot for the both of us. The waitress comes out and shows you how it works and goes over everything. Karen, who I came with, was a pro and knew her way around it. She showed me the ropes lol. Honestly, if you are here? When in Rome. Go all out and try it, since it's where they shine here. They took off a few menu items and added some themed drinks. ( a couple new champagne themed drinks) They have big entree items but I suggest small bites and sharing and mostly coming for the drinks. There's no bathroom inside, so you do have to leave the bar and go to the closest one (over behind Randy's donuts) and then enter the speakeasy again Both times coming here I've never had an issue. It's a small, packed place. And yet they still have the cocktails flowing and the food coming out in a good time. So the food and drinks are good Atmosphere is lovely. Service is good. Especially for it usually being very busy in here This place is located inside the Anaheim packing district. So I suggest hitting up a couple other spots before or afterwards for some more food or drinks P.S. it is very dark In here. They never cared if we used our light to look at the menu. However, they do not want flash photography They also do not strictly enforce a dress code (my friend from Nashville asked) however, they suggest dressing business casual and not too underdressed

    Date night for mom and dad away from the kids type of night. Very mellow and chill. Small but cozy…read more I loved the Gatsby decor. We chose to be seated at the bar. Service was decent. I really liked the clarified strawberry drink, similar to strawberry and cream. I ordered a drink after that unfortunately forgot the name (photo attached with a tall glass) but there was no special cocktail craft taste to it. Just hard liquor taste and undrinkable :( the bartender kindly offered another drink. Unfortunately none of the food was the least bit good. Steak and fries was ordered medium rare and cooked to medium well with what seemed like no seasoning was on there at all. Crab cake was just ok and the slaw beneath it was drenched in a vinaigrette that was just sour and unpleasant. And the Mac and cheese, as we were very hopeful and looking forward to, was probably the blandest Mac and cheese we ever had. We asked the lady bartender for salt and she handed us, no exaggeration (and you guys will probably think I am) 10 grains of salt in it and said "looks like there's a lil something you could still get out of there" My jaw dropped. But yeah. The shredded meat on top of the Mac and cheese was cooked beyond the point of edible. That one was unfortunately sent back bc we just couldn't eat it. We were bummed over all mostly about the food.

The inside was decorated all throughout and made you feel like you were truly in a different place. It's dim, intimate and gave such a cool atmosphere! I heard this place is hard to get a reservation but one of my girlfriends was able to snag one the week prior! The inside of the restaurant is a smaller establishment so I can see why reservations would be difficult. They have a plethora of drinks! Mostly specializing in specialty rum cocktails. Ordered the ritual of the Queen which was a specialty drink with tequila and coconut rum. Very delicious! For food our table shared the Loco Moco and chicken katsu. Both delicious! There is also another smaller bar area behind closed doors that give speak easy vibes. I'm not sure how or if this place accommodates big groups as the tables are good for maybe 4-6 people.

We had such a great time! Starting with the service, wonderful! The hosts are happy folks, with a bright smile. We were immediately greeted and seated, even though the party arrived separately. It was wonderful to get the freshness of the ac instead of waiting outside in the heat. As you enter the decor is so fun and captivating. The servers are super friendly and welcoming and they have so many drink options. The food is good and they did mention they have a rotating menu that changes for the season! We enjoyed everything, and it was fun to see everyone's drink as it arrived. You do have a timeframe, so we were bummed when it was almost time to go because we were really enjoying our time there, but good reason to come back again!

    Food: Decent Drinks: Good…read moreHappy Hour: Great deal! Decor: Perfect for spooky lovers Ambiance: Could use some music to match the theme Service: good & attentive waitress I actually ended up here by accident. I was trying to go to Villains Brewery. I didn't realize I was at the wrong place until I looked at the menu. The two spots are right next to each other, have similar aesthetics, and are easy to mix up. Since I was already there (and starving), I decided to stay. The spooky decor is totally my vibe, so I was happy to give it a shot. The food was decent not bad by any means, but it didn't have that wow factor. I've definitely had better steaks and mac & cheese, but everything was cooked fine and tasted good. The drinks were solid, and I liked the cocktail selection. What really impressed me was the happy hour. BOGO drinks plus two free sides with the steak is a pretty great deal these days. The steak was a little pricey for the quality, but honestly, what isn't expensive anymore.... Service was good. My waitress was attentive, though to be fair I was the only customer there at the time. My only real complaint is that the place felt a little quiet. With the spooky theme, some music would really help set the mood and elevate the atmosphere. Overall, this ended up being a pleasant surprise. I'd recommend it for food and drinks, and I personally enjoyed it much more than Villains Brewery (you can read my review on that one... no bueno). Not sure if the two businesses are connected, but I had a good experience at one and a bad experience at the other. ‍

    Had a lovely time on Saturday after lunch at the Anaheim Packing District. I had always passed by…read morethis place and never went in, even though the outside looked so cool and fascinating. When we entered, the inside felt like we were in the inside of a train, there were various train themed decoration scattered throughout the walls and floors. My girlfriend got the sex in this city cocktail and I opted for the painkiller cocktail. Both were stunning and delicious. Lots of different photo ops for you and your loved ones as well as movies playing behind the bar. We also loved our bartenders, who made our drinks with ease and were knowledgeable in the different drink items. Overall, would definitely visit again!

    I had been looking forward to coming to this bar for a long time, so unfortunately, the experience…read morewas extremely disappointing. We arrived about an hour after opening, and the bar already felt completely unprepared. The bartender was eating food at the bar while we were there, and after getting our initial drinks, we were essentially left on our own. She never checked back with us, and not once were we asked if we wanted another drink. For a place I had been excited to finally visit, this was easily one of the worst bar experiences I've ever had. The service was inattentive, the atmosphere felt unprofessional, and the overall experience left a very bad impression. Unfortunately, I won't be coming back.

    What a cool place! Chapter 4 is the extension of the Les Amis main restaurant so it's a small…read moreseparate section divided by a small hallway. We couldn't see anything from the ch.4 section so it kept this side nice and intimate. It's a small place but when we arrived there was still plenty of seating inside. I love their decor with the dim lights. Even though this side is the speak easy experience you can order food which appreciated very much. We were mentally prepared to eat elsewhere if need be. The food is Lebanese and like any Mediterranean food, delicious! We had the chicken kabob entree and everything was really good! The only thing I was not a super fan of was their pita bread and how it came. It comes in a plastic bag inside a little bucket and it's a thin pita and I usually prefer the thicker pita, but that's just my personal preference. The drinks were really good too! We had a great time chit chatting and right before we left we got to enjoy a couple of songs from live performance. It was a perfect date night and their service was exceptional!

    Zero stars if I could!…read more The service was terrible from the moment we sat down, and all of this happened within the FIRST HOUR. Water wasn't even consistently poured for everyone at the table. Drink orders were skipped even while orders were being taken from people sitting right next to each other. The first time, we literally had to go ask our server about a drink that had already been ordered. Then later, someone ordered the exact same drink as another person at our table--one came out and the other was completely forgotten. How many times does a table need to be overlooked before it's no longer considered a simple mistake? We shouldn't have to keep tracking down staff, asking where our drinks are, or reminding someone that our table exists. The whole experience felt careless, disorganized, and honestly just rude. So over this place. If basic service is this difficult within the first hour of being there, that says enough.

The hostess explained their whole shtick: in-house distilled spirits that are infused with music to change the flavor profile. It SOUNDS crazy...until you order a flight and taste their two burbons side by side: same bourbon, different music, different tasting notes. Totally crazy experience! For cocktail lovers, they are doing some really cool stuff there. I got 2 savory cocktails (Mariposa & Aquatinted), the former was more my speed, but I always appreciate when restaurants experiment more in the savories for cocktails. Their signature list has many unique flavor combinations, and I'm looking forward to our next visit to try more! Food-wise: no misses for us. We debated going for a bunch of small plates (easily doable with their menu), but the sea bass was calling to us. Split that + the Wagyu Short Rib. Both were delicious, but the Wagyu was a little under salted for me. The smoked carrot conift actually stole the show on that dish - we're definitely going to try the carrot appetizer next time we're there! Dessert: Both full desserts looked great (their 3rd dessert right now is a cocktail - also cool!), but we opted for the Baked Alaska. DELICIOUS! The dish was stellar, but the cherry sauce with it took it to the next level. Ambiance: Great vibes. They have a live DJ Fridays and Saturdays, and the music was present but not overwhelming for me. The whole space is designed with sound in mind so it was very cozy, very atmospheric, and very chill. Can't wait to come back! Huge shout out to our server/bartender Jimmy who was CRUSHING IT managing so many drink orders. Hope we run into you again next time!

    It was 5 o'clock somewhere lol…read more This bar has prime real estate inside the great, Anaheim packing district. (The Anaheim packing district has private parking and it's easy to find a spot during the week. On the weekend, it's another story) You basically run right into the hammer bar when you enter from the main entrance. It's nothing fancy, gives off hipster vibes and is cool without trying to be cool. The two bartenders Josh and Xavier were amazing I came here around prime lunch time. I went and asked one of the bartenders, since they do not serve food if it was ok to bring some pastries inside and eat them with my drink. (There's a pastry place right next to the hammer bar) They said since it was a weekday and not busy I could bring something in. So I went and grabbed some food and sat there while drinking my drinks. They have bar seating and then they have hightop tables as well I asked them for some recommendations. Josh and Xavier both recommended The zombie (kept warning me that it was extremely strong. So I stayed away from that. Even though I'm confident I could handle it) The banana clip The pool noodle (I told them I needed it to be pretty / cool looking too, lol) I went with the pool noodle -Plantaray Pineapple Rum, Rhum J.M. Agricole, guava, apricot, lime and cava. AND, let me tell you, this was delicious AND looked amazing 10/10 Then I went with the banana clip- Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon, banana, mandarine, cinnamon, pineapple and lemon. 10/10, I loved it To be honest all the drinks sounded great. If I wasn't planning on going to other places and walking around the packing district, I would have just stayed at this bar and had a few more lol. Prices were extremely reasonable as well The service that Josh and Xavier provided was phenomenal 10/10. They were friendly and knowledgeable. They answered all the questions I had They also have mocktails, beer and wine. I highly recommend coming here for a drink if you are coming to the Anaheim Packing district. Or stay here for a while. I could have definitely stayed longer and tried more. I'll definitely be back next time I am in the area (On the menu it says they offer gift cards. So it would be perfect for any friends that live by this place and appreciate a cool bar)

They were playing some great 90s tunes and watching them make drinks, talk a little shit, and have fun was great to watch! I only had a single beer (local lager that the bartender recommended) as I was waiting for a reservation at another spot, but I'll definitely stop here again the next time I'm in the area.
