    Cedar Creek never disappoints. Our server was one we have had in the past a few times, and she remembered what we ordered the last time we were there (which was several weeks ago). That's pretty amazing! The food is delicious, and the calm, beautiful atmosphere at Cedar Creek makes the dining there even more enjoyable.

    We had party of 7, two small children, 5 & 2.5 yrs., with us. The hostess was gracious, and the server, Tom, and his helpers were very attentive. It was a busy Friday evening but they managed to make us feel unhurried and comfortable. Tom said to make ourselves at home, and the 5-year-old said “Do I have to love here?” 😂

    I've been a huge fan of Cedar Creek Inn for many years; however, this time, a few things went awry. First, they didn't have note of my reservation (that requested a booth); then they seated two of us in a booth for six (which made it hard to converse unless we sat very close and turned our heads toward each other); and then my favorite sandwich (French Dip) was raw and hard to chew. The Cream of Mushroom soup was excellent, though!!!

    Cedar Creek has never disappointed in their menu selections, food/taste quality, service, and over all experience. Only issue on this visit was a large table of 16 was seated directly in front of our booth which raised the noise level on this trip, but it never became a real issue...will definitely return and recommend to our friends.

    Really nice and clean restaurant. Hostess was very attentive and liked that she greeted us as we walked in. The waitress was very friendly, the inside decor was nice, carpet looked dated but everything else was great. We ordered the cedar plank salmon- was delicious and well cooked- no fishy smell, the masked potatoes were great. We ordered a salad and that was good too. We finished with a 3 layer chocolate cake and ice cream, very good. Found a new spot to go to….

    It's the simple things that make a dining experience great. When coffee is ordered, the server should ask, would you like cream? instead of just walking away and having the customer flag someone down. Also, a spoon is needed to stir the coffee and cream. Initially there should be bread offered or suggest an appetizer. With the increased prices at this restaurant, there should be 5 star service that comes with it!

    As usual, the food was delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive. The only issue we had was the noise level. We were there for Mothers Day and it was incredibly LOUD in the dining room. It was difficult to have a nice conversation. I’d be interested to know if more tables were set up for the occasion. Soft background music might have helped.

    We were a party of 4 with 2 "mothers" celebrating Mother's Day. Our whole experience was the best we've had at Cedar Creek Inn and we have had several excellent experiences. Here are a few reasons why we liked our experience so much: _ We were immediately welcomed when we arrived and only had a few minute wait before we were seated in a very nice booth. _ Our server (Jennifer G 229) took care of every request and could not have provided better service in a fun and charming way. - The food was excellently presented as well as delicious. Thank you for providing such a lovely time for us.

    We made reservations for Mother's Day and were amazed at how well everything went. There were no added tables to double the occupancy, there was no waiting to be seated, there was no rushing you through your meal. I have never been to a restaurant on a holiday that treated us so well. We felt valued and important, the staff was so welcoming. There was a set menu, but it wasn't small. There was a large variety of items and the food was delicious and hot when it arrived at the table. I have always enjoyed our experiences at Cedar Creek and now highly recommend it for Holidays as well as a delicious meal at a great value in a beautiful setting. Thank you Cedar Creek for a wonderful Mother's Day experience.

    Husband and I went here for a date night on Mother’s Day weekend, so noise level and ambience may be different on another night. The service was quick and friendly. We loved our appetizer and the coconut cake, but our main course was just okay. This is a nice restaurant, but for the price it’s not my favorite.

    My wife and I took her elderly parents for an early Mother’s Day celebration. Austin our attendant was spot on. He was very cordial and had no issue with my father in law asking for things to be repeated because of his failing hearing, even with hearing aids. The ambiance was wonderful. The food was very good and again, Austin never allowed us to be waiting for service, he was monitoring from afar and whenever a glass went empty or a plate finished, he replenished drinks and removed empty plates. Let it be known, my wife and I had our wedding reception here October of 2016.

    Server lacked hospitality and basically ignored us. Busy talking to kitchen and other employees entire meal. We tried to flag her down and finally got our own pepper from another table. Did not offer ground pepper; or more bread (which was again stale and burnt on 2nd batch we requested); when asked if spinach was creamed spinach she said yes, but in reality bland sautéed spinach leaves to which I pointed out to her and she answered with “no it’s not creamed” I thought you said “green” spinach. Basically awful service. The menu prices have increased dramatically with the large prime rib cut at $49 and small $45 however it was tender; high quality and excellent as always. There was only one small piece of cheese bread per person and it was over cooked and stale on both batches. Like old reheated. The side salad was quite skimpy for an addl $7 dollars and overall the prices seem a little high for the amount of food received. Our family has enjoyed Cedar Creek Brea for over 10 years however this last visit sadly did not measure up to past dinners.

    The food and ambiance is always pleasant, as are the generous portions with each serving. My party of 4 went after the lunch-hour crowd (2:30 PM RSVP); however, we were glad that we were able to order from the lunch menu before it was switched over to the dinner menu (3:00 PM). It would be helpful if all restaurants would post their breakfast, lunch, and dinner service times.

    Was surprised how early the place gets packed. Music was good, first time back in many years. Main entree was good. Fried Zucchini the cloves could have been smaller and Cooke a bit more. Drinks were not bad but not perfect! Service was good but waitress seemed tired and forgot a few items, yet was was accommodating. Will be back. Wish they bring back the sisheito peppers!

    Saw cedar creek inn had a very good rating so thought we’d go check it out. The food was ok. Nothing to knock my socks off or make me want to come back. It was all just ok. Calamari- very good. Nice big pieces and was breaded perfectly. Prime Rib- asked for medium- it came out more on the med well side. It was ok, descent flavor. Grilled asparagus could have been grilled a bit more. Large prawns- not impressed. I feel for the price it could have been much better.

    When I made the reservation thru Open Table, I did specify Birthday celebration. But our waiter did nothing for us. The birthday girl did order a dessert anyway, the Lemon Tart, which I didn't care for at all - crust was so thick and hard and too much sugar on the top of the thin layer of lemon filling. Our Cedar Plank Salmon was very good. But one person ordered the BLT sandwich with quinoa-kale salad - when I asked how it was, she just shook her head that it wasn't good. The quinoa-kale salad was tasteless she said.
