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

    The server literally wouldn't leave us alone. She kept interupting our conversation. I was polite to the server but it made me pull attention from my gf and she felt extremely disrespected with the constant interruptions. Seems like we are broken up now. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be fun and Romantic night out ended poorly because of frequent interruptions. The servers can back off ALOT and ease off explaining every. Single. Dish!

    A truly enjoyable dinner. Gracie, our server was awesome. This was a birthday celebration for my husband and the chateaubriand did not disappoint. We will definitely be going back.
