  • "The food is fine, just like the wine that they offer. The lighting in the dinning room is comfort to the flavors coming out of the kitchen. From surf and turf, to your pasta dishes. Every dish is a delite. With grate service from your waitress to your waiter."

  • "Place is nice, good ambiance and pretty quiet. Food was just OK, the NY steak was overcooked for medium rare, but seems like that's the standard and it was a bit disappointing. The prawns were overcooked too. The bread are good though and so was the lobster bisque. The coconut cake was very delicious."

  • "Went for our daughter's 21st birthday. It was a great special occasion spot. Arrived in time to order drinks and an appetizer from the Happy Hour thàt ended @ 6pm.Daughter tried a $5 Lemon drop Martini and loved it. Seated for dinner at time we'd reserved. Served by two waiters who did a good job until dessert phase. After a very long wait they brought a birthday sundae for our daughter but left without asking if the rest of us wanted to order dessert. My husband finally got up and chased down a waiter saying we wanted to order desserts. We recommend John Dory fish special, the prime rib and the Land and Sea (beef medallions with butterflied shrimp). We also enjoyed the basket of garlic toast served us and refilled. Salads were good too"

  • "We celebrated a birthday here and the entire staff made a point of wishing my daughter a happy birthday. Service was excellent. Hated our booth which had me facing the kitchen all night. This place is big on ambiance but that view was not good. Food was very tasty. I had the special which was a John Dory and it was very yummy. I love it when fish is served hot as opposed to just warm. My husband had the meatloaf and it was good. Others had the prime rib which was a generous portion and they also loved the mashed potatoes. The garlic cheese bread was loved by all. I thought the wine list was good but maybe a little over-priced. Waitress was so sweet and brought over a birthday treat with a candle to blow out."

  • "We tried this restaurant due to Restaurant Week and will definitely return. The food was delicious, the service was good and the atmosphere was perfect. The restaurant also offers musical entertainment in the bar that was fun and enjoyable"

  • "Beautiful restaurant with a very good menu. My wife and I had the special - John Dory with lobster and risotto. Wonderfully prepared. Clam chowder was delicious as well with lots of clams and a hint of bacon. Cedar Creek has an excellent bread pudding with a delightfully subtle whiskey sauce. Service is not superb, but not bad either. I just expect a little more from a restaurant that is this pricey. The young man that was supposed to be greeting us completely ignored us as we left. I chalk it up to youthful ignorance and self-involvment."

  • "We arrived to enjoy the OC Restaurant Week special of Surf and Turf- Filet Mignon and Lobster. After we placed our order, the server came back and informed us they weren't serving that at the Brea location. The manager came over and apologized, but only offered a beef medallions and shrimp substitute. Instead, I ordered the salmon which was delicious. My daughter ordered the chicken which was fair. The green beans had no flavor and neither did the mashed potatoes. After we were told the steak and lobster wasn't available I felt we were rushed through our meal, and ignored by our waiter. We were seated at 6:15 and out by 7:05!"

  • "I had dined at Cedar Creek Brea many times for buisness and personal lunches. Always had grest service and high quality food. My husband and I decided to try it for dinner during OC Restaurant week. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The food was extremely high quality and the service was stellar. It was a great value too."

  • "Although I've been to Cedar Creek in San Juan Capistrano, this was my first visit to the Brea location. Their Orange County Restaurant Week menu looked very nice, so my husband and I booked a table for lunch. We ordered different things off the 3-course special menu, and found to our delight that everything was prepared perfectly, with great flavors, and very generous portions. My husband's lobster bisque soup was succulent, and his main-course beef dip sandwich, a treat. I started with the wedge salad, followed by a beautiful glazed salmon entree, that was served with mustard seed mashed potatoes and a veg. His Toll House Pie, and my coconut cake were positively delicious! We shared bites of everything, and will certainly be back!"

  • "I got the Lobster Cappuccino to start off my food coma tonight. It was as good as I remembered. Then I had the ginger maple glazed salmon w/ green beans and mashed potatoes. Last, I had the coconut cake w/ vanilla ice cream for dessert. Food was fantastic. The server however left something too be desired. We felt like she was trying to rush us out, and she gave the air of impatience as my friend and I sat in the booth catching up."

  • "The ambiance is great, feels like it should be a more expensive restaurant, but its not. you get great ambiance while paying TGIF prices for food. And the food is definitely better than TGIF! Service is great. I had to "tweak" my pasta to the way I wanted it and the waiter and the kitchen did everything to suit my request. Did I mention the price is reasonable? definitely will come back."

  • "Upon arriving a bit early for our reservation, we were seated immediately. The food was fantastic, the prices were good, and our server was excellant. Will most assuredly we will be back."

  • "We are definitely call-back customers! This restaurant is outstanding in its menu and presentation. Three of our party opted for the seafood salad for lunch, very fresh and delicious in every way. Dressing is always "on the side", no need to beg! The other diner enjoyed fish and chips, the tastiest looking light battered dish ever. Our server was just excellent. She came to the table several times to check on our experience, but was not too hovering. We look forward to our next visit."

  • "I had origninally booked reservations, but had to reschedule them. The employee on the phone said that was just fine. We arrived and they had no idea who I was nor did they have a reservation for us. I recognized the employee who had said he was going to change my reservation by his voice from the phone. His face turned bright red and he said "oops! I forgot to change it in the computer." Not only was he very unprofessional, but he only gave excuses for his "mistake" rather than apologizing. We were seated and the food was actually really good. However, the server refilled our wine glasses by pouring our remaining wine into the new full glass of wine! How rude."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "So we had a reservation on Febr 13th @8pm for wife bday & vday dinner. It was pretty chill outside and we came w/ 2 toddler as well. I was expecting to sit inside the regular room but they gave us table outside, near the bar area. First, it was freaking LOUD because the music. Second, we sit right behind birthday party table, make it even worse. Third, we got wrong food or something, it just didn't taste right. The pork meat feels really dry. As matter fact, I still have the food inside my refrigerator today ( Febr 18, 2013 ). Wife didn't quite happy w/ the dinner, kids got cold because we sit outside. So much for excitement prior the dinner, most likely I won't come back again for dinner. But hey...excellent server tho, thats a positive"

  • "The restaurant sseated us a few minutes early. We were seated at a table between two large parties near the corner of the large dining room. The table was set in a nice fashion, our server came over promptly and offered drinks. We asked for both wine and water but only wine arrived. I had to remind her of our need for water and she brought it over just before our entrees arrived. The entrees ewere delivered by another server and my spouses was a bit more done than she asked for. She decided to eat it anyway since we could hardly take the noise on all sides of us. My entree was prepared properly and the portion size provided was sufficient for two meals (I had 11 Lamb ribs). We decided not to stay for desert due to the noise level."

  • "Service was really bad, server smiled once I think. He was having a bad night, barely made eye contact. Barely spoke to us the entire time. We waited over 20 minutes for salad and bread. And when I called to make the reservation the person at the front desk was also very rude, rushed and didn't have time for me and my reservation. Food is good but they need to think about who they hire. I will NEVER go back.. Don't need to be treated badly no matter how good the food is. Plenty of places where they treat the customer well. Spent nearly one 100 bucks and kept apologizing to my dinner guest for the awful service."

  • "The service and atmosphere was very nice but ultimately not a place we would dine for a special occasion. For the price we paid the main course would have been more palatable. The appetize (calamari) was excellent with the 2 dipping sauces but the soup (lobster bisque had a "strange" after-taste). Main course (steak/lobster & chilean sea bass) was just not 'up to snuff" for the price."

  • "This restaurant has an old-fashioned 60's feel about it. Lots of wood and over-stuffed booths, waiters in black&white. I always expect to see Frank & Dean and the Rat Pakc come strolling in. No discernable dress code, Patrons are almost too casual. The patio is very nice, the wine list is very good. The food is familiar but with some special touches...excellent. The hostesses are a little snooty and we had to wait 15 minutes for a table even though we had a reservation. The wait staff is very solicitous and really looks after you."

  • "We went to this restaurant thinking it was going to be a great, romantic place. Believing it would be busy, I made reservations about 2 weeks ahead of time. When we arrived, the place looked great. The atmosphere seemed perfect. Then we were seated. IN THE PATIO AT A WOBBLY TABLE IN PLASTIC CHAIRS!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!!???? The place was not overly busy as tables were empty. Dinner came and what did we find in her soup? A piece of foil. ARE YOU SERIOUS??? The waitress apologized and brought out another cup of soup. She also offered free dessert, which was yummy!! Then the entrées. The chicken and the wild shrimp were bland. Go there for the candlelight romance, but don't expect much on food taste."

  • "It was a late night and we had made one of the last reservations for the night, It was quiet, dimly lit and romantic for our Pre Valentine's dinner together as a couple. We both got the filet and a couple of drinks. I had the house margarita which was delicious! she had some Red Wine. I finished off the dinner with a Watermelon Mint Martini but it lacked any MINT flavoring to cool down the bite of the alcohol. I didn't even finish that last drink due to its bitterness so we took home a delicious cheesecake for dessert."

  • "We go to the Anaheim White House each year for Valentines Day but thought to try Cedar Creek in spite of mixed reviews. Nice setting and the service was good if not particularly attentive. Their special occasion menu was very limited. We had two different steaks-neither, even the filet mignon, were not as tender as expected. Salad and soup were excellent, and wine and mixed drinks were also well done, although wine list is not as extensive as I expected. It would have been better for lunch as it seems to be more of an upscale Claim Jumper, nut definitely not appropriate for a romantic evening out"
