    This place was spectacular! Me and my friend had a wonderful server named Ivy and she was very attentive and friendly! Our food was very hot and fresh and super delicious! Even our drinks were delicious! We plan on coming back here for brunch very soon, and it was an overall wonderful experience!

    This was our first time at Cedar. Let me start with the good stuff. The atmosphere was very nice! The server was awesome as were our entrees and appetizer. The dessert (strawberry biscuit) my husband and I shared was not our cup of tea as it was very dry and not sweet at all. The toast served with my pasta had some kind of spread that was extremely bitter so I didn’t care for it either. The rest of the meal was amazing! It seemed the staffing was low as our server was handling several tables on her own until we were getting ready to leave an another person began to take some of the tables. She did a great job it just looked like a lot. When walking to our table I almost slipped and fell. A bit later a man actually did fall in the exact same place. My husband went to the restroom and almost slipped on the floor there as well. Maybe some type of floor covering or caution slippery floor signs would be in order on rainy days. I would go back nevertheless. 🙂

    Nice place, great location, easy to park nearby, wait staff were lovely. But... The food was so-so, the drinks were so-so, our orders were messed up, drinks came late. The food: Three examples - the chicken was cooked perfectly, but the sauce was supposed to be some sort of masallah, and it tasted like a watered down gravy. The strawberry desert tasted like puffed philo dough, or maybe pancake batter that hadn't been flavored and just drizzeld with a little bit of strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and one strawberry cut into thin slices. The seafood pasta was just better 'meh' no real flavor profile, and the seafood smelled stronger than it tasted. We won't be recommending this place, or going back. My other half said of our visit ... "At least I didn't have to cook."

    Need a bit of work on dinner. Brussels sprouts were way too hot and spicy. I think there may have been an error. I didn’t say anything. The entrees were good not super exciting. We will be back for brunch but dinner needs a bit of tweaking. Great server and love the space!

    Had a great dinner with family! The burger and chicken were both amazing. The service was top notch, and the owner was present and checking in with patrons. Love cedar for brunch and dinner!

    had high hopes for dinner at cedar. Brunch is always so good. Dinner was not good. App of fried asparagus was stringy the brussel sprouts were literally soupy and overly spicy. The hamburger was ok and 3 of us ordered that - the seafood pasta was tasteless and the chicken salad was ok but a tablespoon size of actual chicken. I’m sorry cedar ..
