"I love the relaxed feel of Cedar Creek with it's ambiance and location. I definitely would return to try more dishes from their menu since we went for Mohter's Day Brunch which was limited but still very good. The prime rib was very tender and amazing. My wife like her honey baked ham while my daughter enjoyed her french toast. Service was well-timed and friendly."

"We dined at Cedar Creek Inn on the Saturday before Mother's Day and of course, it was very busy. Aside from about a 15 minute wait, when we arrived everything was great. The service was awesome as it always is when we dine there, our courses came out in a timely manner, and overall everything was perfect. I was a bit disapointed that they don't do anything special for the mothers (i.e. dessert or rose etc), but that small detail didn't take away from our overall experience."

"Over all our dinner experience was good. Getting together with family is always great. Service was fabulous. the beef entrees were really great and portions i thought matched the price for the plate. I was disappointed with one of the "specials" they offered. I ordered the swordfish which usually is a bit pricey anyway. I was let down that the portion was i thought a little small, fish was over cooked and smothered with sauce."

"it was a thursday night so not overly crowded. we had a bottle of wine and had a shrimp cocktail with huge, delicious shrimp. wonderful caesar salad like they used to be.....even had sliced parmesan cheese on top. then king crab that was already split open and laid out so it was easy easy to eat and delicious. garlic bread to die for.....yum! and total indulgence with a slice of tollhouse cookie 'pie' and ice cream. the meal cost a bit but it was fabulous. have had too many expensive meals and left hungry or didn't enjoy. this was great!"

"This restaurant is my go-to place when I want to meet friends for lunch (and sometimes dinner). I can always count on good food, good service and fair prices. Had the beef dip this last time and it was delicious. We try to sample many items on the menu but often go back to our favorites. The ambience is very nice, too."

"We had a group of twelve for my mother's 81th birthday. The service was great. The food very good. Good menu variety and reasonable prices. The atmosphere was very nice. They can easily accommodate larger groups. My advice is to have the coconut cake. It's the best coconut cake that my husband and I have ever had. Take a piece home if you're too full to eat it after dinner. It's worth it."

"Candle-lit dining roon. Very spacious and beautiful ambiance. A bit dark in there and hard to see the menues. Excellent authentic tasting Caesar salad. Cedar plank salmon was wonderful. The side of mustard mashed potatoes sounded weird, but turned out to be really good and the whole grain flecks of spicy mustard, just right with the salmon. The pot roast was tender and cooked well, but needed more seaoning and was a bit bland. We liked our experience at Cear Creek in Brea."

"The outdoor patio with large fireplace was surrounded by trees, very nice. We got more food than expected, menu said main entrees come with a salad or soup but also had mashed potatoes and veggies. We tried 3 different entrees and all were very good. Comfortable chairs for being outside and great service. Will be going again."

"Went to Cedar Creek on a Saturday night for a birthday celebration. It was a crowded night. The table they sat us at was a 6-seat round which seemed to be just placed in the middle of the aisle around other booths/tables. It was a bit too crowded. The service was very good though. Our waitress was always asking if we were ok, got us a wine carafe when requested by us and even brought out the birthday cake before it was cut. The food was just ok. My husband and I had the Chateau Briande (sp?) but even though mine was cooked medium parts of it were chewy and it didn't have much flavor. The New York steak my friend has was dry also. Maybe steak is not their specialty. Another guest had the salmon which he said was really good."

"We were early and they seated us right a way. Good appetizer, drinks, and service, I had the scrimp scampi, which were butterflyed but still had the shells on. O.K. that was o.k. but different. What I didn't care for was the spinach. I've never had it aldente' before. Still needed some cooking time.
Since it was our anniversary, which Open Table passed on to them, they brought us a brownie sundae on the house.

"The noise was a bit distracting and had to resort to reading lips for part of our meal. I ordered the brie, pecan chicken and though I like the flavors separately, they didn't work as a mixed entree, imo. My date's cedar plank salmon was great. Service was excellent and I'd give it another try, but will pick a different entree."

"We had the Easter brunch menu. It was obvious these dishes were preprepared. The prime rib was tough and the French toast was too soggy. We were disapponted. Maybe the regular menu is better?"

"We enjoyed a wonderful Easter Brunch. The menu was great. We were seating right away. The service was outstanding even though they were busy. The prices were reasonable.
I can't say about the hot spot or notable wine list, but the champagne was good.
We will be going back soon for dinner."

"We had early brunch reservations without many patrons yet we were seated on patio furniture not in the main dining room. The food was good and the servers were very attentive but I downgrade them for the ambiance. Also, need to improve the quality of coffee."

"Prime Rib & New York Steak were outstanding. French Onion was excellent though a very small serving. Would like to see filet mignon on the menu. The New York steak was the only choice.
Candice was our server. She was perfect!"

"I hadn't eaten at a Cedar Creek in a long time, especially since the one in Laguna Beach has closed down. I really enjoyed
the setting, decor and ambiance along with the great service and excellent food. Wonderful experience even though we were in
a bit of a rush since we had to get to the comedy show.
Will come back again!

"We have been many times to Cedar Creek Inn and really enjoyed our time there. This time we (4 people) all had complaints about our food. My husband had to send his prime rib back because it was cool to the touch. The rest of use thought that our meal was good but lacking some flavor. The restaurant was not busy but our service was lacking."
