This Fullerton restaurant has been one of north OC’s most romantic destinations since 1969. Walk down a flight of narrow stairs and open a wooden door to a real cellar, elegant decorated by one of the artisans who built Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. With low-hanging ceilings, The Cellar lives up to its name with three cozy rooms, black leather banquettes, rich red carpet, bright white Goddess statues and glowing golden candles. Executive chef Sean Nemetz oversees a menu that features local, seasonal ingredients, natural meats, wild seafood and less traditional dishes like buffalo tartare. Start with a refreshing house-made cocktail or a glass of well-chosen wine. Next, select an appetizer such as the signature escargots, or begin with a salad of field greens with candied beets and seared goat cheese topped with a lavender honey vinaigrette. Main course portions are quite large, and we recommend the tender osso buco or the star anise and sage brined pork loin served with a hash of Brussels sprouts, butternut squash and bacon. For dessert, we suggest the chocolate or Grand Marnier soufflé. The wine cellar, which is located just above the restaurant, is a treasure trove sheltering more than 1,400 labels.
