    Chef Luke and the team at Cedar+Elm went above and beyond for my birthday dinner. There was an incident where I had to step out and left my daughter with my credit card to settle the check for us to leave before our meal was over. When I came back they had already boxed our remaining food and had a birthday treat for me as well. I will absolutely be back to not only have a re-do for my birthday meal, but also to support an amazing restaurant that wants you to have a wonderful experience.
