    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. 🙂

    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 ..

    The dinner was delicious. The strawberry shortcake was disappointing. The biscuit was not sweet as described and there were hardly any strawberries. Would not order again. Menu could use a few more choices, but we enjoyed what we had. Service was good.

    The food and drinks were excellent. I do feel like the pricing for the portions was a little much, but the quality was definitely there. Great place for a nice dinner out. I’m eager to try brunch!
