Absolutely amazing experience! The food was incredible — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The drinks were just as impressive, perfectly made and creative. Our waitress was so kind and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we sat down. The service overall was top-notch. I would highly recommend The Cellar to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Fullerton
It was my first time there and found the atmosphere was very good and cozy. The only correcting I would suggest, is to the dessert menu which lacked any kind of solid, bite-into cake. The Sticky Toffee Pudding does not qualify. However, in no way did it take away from the experience.
Absolutely loved this place! Their pumpkin old fashion was very delicious and our server was excellent. Overall a 10/10 experience and would come back again!
Food was great it was coming at a good timing our server lily was great and nice very informative about the menu I would go again
We have enjoyed the Cellar restaurant, and have celebrated many special occasions there for over 40 years. The service is always good. The menu and food quality are consistently good. The drinks, meal and service last evening were excellent. It is so nice to have a local fine dining establishment that never disappoints!
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Heather was our waitress and she was amazing! We had the pumpkin spiced old fashion and scorched earth cocktails. Delicious! The blueberry jam bone marrow and lobster bisque were also incredible. The sticky toffee date cake is the best dessert in all of SoCal. Period. 10/10
Jazmine was an absolute pleasure! The entire experience was amazing and it was the best place for us to celebrate our anniversary!
Always a great time here! The staff are attentive the food is amazing the vibes immaculate!
For the history the restaurant has in the area I expected a lot more. The bone marrow was fine. The beet salad was good. But the French onion soup was horrible. The tough chunks of beet were totally unnecessary and actually made the soup that much worse. I have had much much better at much lesser restaurants. The tenderloin was one of the better selections. The meat was perfectly cooked and the sauce and spinach were delicious. The scallops were overpriced at over $60 for 3 scallops that were fishy tasting. There's no way those were fresh or freshly frozen scallops. The lamb was good but nothing special. And finally the ribeye was tough. For $84 I was expecting one of my better experiences with ribeye steaks but I was sorely disappointed. The sauce did nothing for the steak. I would have preferred just salt and pepper.
Took my *hopefully* future wife for our second date here. The ambiance was second to none and the food was spectacular. Our server Caden was really nice and knowledgeable about the menu. I recommend the steak tartare.

A wonderful experience - as always! Food, service and ambiance is great. Changing over to the fall flavors - try the pumpkin old fashioned.
This was my husbands and I first time coming here and we loved it. Great date night, with the staff being so attentive, the food so tasteful. They split the food for us to share which was so nice of them I appreciated that.
I had a reservation for 9:30pm, but we weren't seated right away and didn't receive menus immediately. Once we did, we only had about 10 minutes to look everything over before having to make a choice before the kitchen closed. The food itself was absolutely delicious—worth the $50–$60 per dish—but it took over an hour for our meals to arrive. Our server was polite and friendly, though not very attentive throughout the night. Overall, while the food was excellent, the long wait times(1 hour to get our meal) and lack of attentiveness made the experience less enjoyable, especially since we arrived hungry.
Fantastic service and timing of the courses. All dishes were delicious. Best lobster bisque ever!
Cool atmosphere but below par food. For the prices being charged, the quality should be much higher. Overall, it was a fun spot to check out that's hyped up on IG, but not worth the prices.
