I love coming to this place. It's sexy, intimate, and thoughtfully designed. The gold chain room dividers glimmer throughout the space and somehow make everyone look like they're glowing. The bar is my favorite part. The Mayan Gold has officially become my go-to celebratory drink. The atmosphere feels warm, sultry, and perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. The seating options are also really well done. You can choose a small intimate table, a larger setup for groups, sit at the bar, or sink into the leather lounge couches. It feels elevated without trying too hard. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. read more

Cedar Agave - Mexican Near Me - Redlands, California

First time here on a double date with friends last night. It was a little tricky to find, so I had to ask the hostess at Don Orange and she guided us to the door that says "oyster bar" above it next door and told us to walk through the long narrow hallway and up the stairs. First impression: gorgeous, romantic , dimly lit intimate space, carefully designed just for a date night experience. Samantha, our server, was professional and attentive. She refilled our still waters several times during the evening without our asking. We started with drinks and appetizers. My husband's Za'atar martini and my espresso martini were delightful. Our appetizers of hummus with chorizo, pita bread, and Lebanese florets (fried cauliflower) were delicious bites that prepared our palates to appreciate our entrees. I was a little disappointed that the 3 of their entrees (two filet mignon skewers and one lamb) came out 10 minutes before my chicken skewers. I told them to go ahead and eat while their portions were hot, but they were kind and waited for mine to arrive which meant theirs were probably cooled down quite a bit. As someone else's Yelp review reported, portions were quite small for the price. And honestly the entrees were less impressive than the appetizers in terms of taste. They boast Lebanese-Mexican fusion flavors, so I expected a lot of picante and pizazz in the flavors and the mains were just ok, except my onion cabbage side (was very garlicky which I appreciated). Summary? Ambience (5/5) Service (5/5) Drinks (5/5) Appetizers (4/5) Entrees (3/5) Highly recommend reservations. We had a wonderful evening and I'm glad we checked this place out. I would totally consider coming back just for drinks and maybe to try dessert. read more

I'm sure the place is lovely if your aim is to settle into cozy (read dark) atmosphere and drink an evening away. We don't drink. The chef's choice menu on offer is spectacularly overpriced. $70 per person and the portion served for two people is really meant for one! It was even plated that way! Classic plating of skewers on potatos gratin on one plate - as for one person. This was not a portion to share - not in quantity or presentation. The seasoning of everything was exceptional, but that's the only compliment I can give it. The filet mignon was overdone. The service was glacially paced, but again, we're supposed to be settled into a dim room drinking cocktails, which had better be EXQUISITE to justify this place. A pretty good dinner for one served for two at double the price. Absurd. read more

This is a cute little speakeasy where it was a maze to find! You go through some hidden door and then go upstairs! The service was really good and fast! The sunk I ordered was good, but not worth the price. I just felt like this place was a little overpriced and the portions were a little too small. read more

Cedar Agave - Soujuk - Mexican Near Me - Redlands, California

I give this place a five stars for the ambiance and service. However I had to remove a start due to food portion. My husband ordered the lamb chops. You get two chops with mash potatoes. It was delicious in taste. But honestly this was an appetizer. For $32 we thought it would be more to the meal. I ordered the fish ($36). This was actually a meal. I had enough on my plate to share the rest with my husband and be satisfied. Our waitress was really sweet and warned us to put our order of the Baklava cheesecake ($15) right then and there because they run out. It was delicious. I would come back for this. We also had the basterma Carpaccio appetizer ($18). It was good but honestly not enough to share. Overall this is a nice place to come to to have drinks and something light after you've had dinner elsewhere. I really loved the dark environment. It's good for a date but get a reservation. Also it's upstairs. It's a little hidden gem. Our total bill was about $120 not including tip. read more

This place is hidden; if you see their signage on the wall inside of the building you are in the right place. You just have to take that stairway up and you will be greeted by a host upstairs. Super dim and dark. If you like this kind of a vibe then it will suit you. If not, go elsewhere. Came here on a Thursday night around 6pm. There was a couple seated in the bar area. Fairly a slow night. It seemed like my husband and I were their first dinner customers. Placed in our orders. Everything came out fairly quick as they are tapas style small shareable plates. More people were being seated and orders taken. We waited for our lamb chops and halibut. The server said he was going to go check on our orders. Some time later we were served our proteins but as soon as we took our first bite of the lamb chops they were lukewarm. Looks like they had forgotten about our food and left it out on the counter top for some time. Next our halibut came and this seared fish was super dry. Everything else was delightful though. Only wished our main entrees were hot and served on time. FYI: Their menu is primarily Lebanese food with a slight kick of Mexican spices/seasoning. Not so much of a Lebanese-Mexican fusion. read more

We went for Valentine's Day dinner since I'd been wanting to try this place for a while, but this experience likely won't have us returning. The fattoush salad was a fresh start, with cucumber and tomato in a lemon vinaigrette. The beet-cured salmon was good, but the portion was small--mostly slaw, avocado, and oranges with very little salmon. The crispy thousand-layer chorizo potato was nicely crisp but underseasoned; the hummus mousse paired well with it. Service timing was an issue. Each course took longer than the last--over 15 minutes for my beef and about 25 minutes for my wife's branzino--so I was nearly finished before she received her entrée. For a prix fixe menu, the delays were surprising. The service was not very attentive, though it appeared there was only one waiter covering the room , so I can't place any blame on them. The ambiance was dark and moody, and the millennial R&B playlist was excellent. Considering the $250 prix fixe price (over $300 with drinks and gratuity), I would rate this place closer to a 2 out of 5. The beef was not even a cut of steak but more a roast and the branzino had a few bones but the prawns were cooked perfectly. read more

Would probably give 3.5 if I could. First the good: -Going upstairs feels secret, very cool -Ambiance is dark, cool, and intimate, feels very Vegas or LA nightclub -They don't rush you, you get to relax and enjoy -inventive food, lots of veggie options -wine by the glass selection limited but options from Mexico and Lebanon which was nice -private bathrooms The less good: -Slow service, almost awkward at times -portions are very small for the prices -very salty and everything could have used extra of the delicious sauce or topping. -made my husband's drink wrong. With such great looking bar, expected better drinks We had -the fried potatoes. Good, need more of the topping! -ghanoush, good but very small portion -pita, delicious no notes -taquitos, very rich and salty, needed a sauce or something to cut through. Pass -falafel pockets, delicious no notes -baklava cheesecake, delicious needs more sauce read more

My friend and I visited Cedar Agave in Redlands as our first stop to celebrate her birthday, and it did not disappoint! It definitely gives speakeasy vibes--you enter through a side doorway of another restaurant, walk down a hallway, then head up some stairs where a hostess greets you outside the entrance. Once inside, the space is dark, cozy, and full of soulful energy. It's the perfect setting for a date night or an intimate night out with friends. I ordered the Zaatar Martini, the Mexican Fattoush Salad, and the Papi Gannoush. The martini was unique but absolutely delicious--and strong! The salad was unbelievably fresh, packed with flavor, and so satisfying. The Papi Gannoush was just as flavorful and unique. Everything we tried felt creative, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. If you're looking for a place that's different, flavorful, and has an amazing atmosphere, Cedar Agave is a 10 out of 10. I totally recommend it! read more

Cedar Agave is truly a special addition to the Redland's restaurant/bar scene. It's classified as a speakeasy, and rightfully so! It's tucked away in a small upstairs corner, in between a couple of alleyways. The cozy atmosphere is warm and inviting, and whoever designed the place did a beautiful job. Of the couple times I've been here, the staff has been friendly and accommodating. The drinks are very unique and delicious, all with great presentation as well! Now the most important part--the food...we tried most of the items on the menu, and every single thing was fantastic. Not a single dish was lacking in flavor or presentation. The portion sizes are quite small though, considering the steep prices of all the items, which is why I've given 4 stars instead of 5. read more

For the longest time I did not know Cedar Agave existed. But wow if it isn't a nice, dimly lit gem of a place. So my friends, fiance, and I came here for drinks and I must say, made for a fun time without being overly obnoxious. They have a nice unique assortment of drinks but if you want to start the night off right, get a habibi shot. It doesn't taste too strongly of alcohol and the hibiscus in it gives a nice flavor profile. All other drinks after that are fair game. So overall, the vibes are more intimate, the space is nicely decorated albeit dim, and the drinks are great. Would definitely recommend stopping by here for drinks if you're hanging around downtown Redlands. read more

This is a very trendy restaurant with nice decor and different food than anything else you'll find in the area. It is tapas style food and pricy so I would recommend going for an appetizer or two and drinks and enjoying the atmosphere versus a full meal. For 3 people to order enough for a full meal and 2 drinks each it was $400 While the food was good it wasn't great or filling enough for that cost. This is more of a quiet vibe place to come in and have an actual conversation, not a crazy party place. In terms of service they were actually too attentive coming by every 5 minutes asking if we needed anything and interrupting conversations versus looking to see if dishes or drinks were empty or reading the table. read more

Had a wonderful experience here. From the decor, intimate lighting and seating, to our waiter. It's clear the atmosphere is well thought out. The lights on the tables have different temperatures and brightness settings, the light fixtures on the ceiling were beautiful to look at, as well as the lights and decor on the stairs on your way up! Even the bar had beautifully placed bottles. The seats were velvet and very comfy. Absolutely a 5/5 on ambiance. I also like how much this feels like a speakeasy. There's no sign whatsoever from outside, you have to enter through the oyster bar door which takes you down a long hallway before you turn right and reach the stairs and that's where you can find a sign with the restaurant's name. It makes you feel cool and exclusive getting to this place. Our waiter also spoke Spanish which was a plus because my boyfriend's mom doesn't know much English and since the menu is in English I appreciate that he was able to explain everything to her and hopefully made her feel more comfortable. All the food that came out was amazing. Only reason I knocked off 1 star was because of how pricey it is. Because it's all tapas/mezze style, each dish is already the price of one normal dish (or more), but the dishes only feed 1-2 people. There were 6 of us, so we almost ordered everything on the menu. So the good thing is we got to try a lot of different things, but the bad thing is how high we were racking up our bill because of it. I do think I prefer this as a date night with just me and my boyfriend to not have quite as high of a bill and to be able to get to share more of a dish, but I am still glad we went as a family to be able to try all the things we wouldn't have ordered with it just being 2 people. My top dishes were the cauliflower Lebanese Florets, Batata Harra, Falafel Pockets, and Muhammara Rojo dip. I think combining Mexican aspects to Lebanese food is super unique and I know this will be a new favorite to take out of town guests to. Can't wait to go back! read more

Cedar Agave is located in Redlands and is hidden . You'll find a staircase to the side of the oyster bar that will take you upstairs . Seating is intimate so I recommend this spot for a date night , not a group setting. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. Service was friendly. The plating is served family style so it was fun to order a few different things to share. The Once Upon A Time In Mexico was an amazing cocktail and I really enjoyed the chicken skewers as well as all of the dips with the Lebanese bread ! The one thing here I was not a fan of would be the really short tables with 4 short stools around them ... my back hurts just looking at it lol! I think it would be best to scrap those for regular tables and chairs , adults don't want to be slouched over sitting at a kids size table . read more

This is an elegant speakeasy type location. We loved the ambiance. We made reservations the morning of and only 7pm was available. They let us dine earlier. They even allowed us to switch to a corner table where we could sit closer together. It's a small bar located upstairs right beside Don Orange. It was a little difficult to locate at first. Place can only host 40-45 ppl or so and only half of the tables were full. It's not a place to get super full stomach. It's more of a bar with smaller appetizers that are best shared with just 2 ppl. We loved the flavors and combinations of the food. They're pricey but I feel like it's worth it especially for date night or a special occasion. We were vibing to their musical selections of Aaliyah, Masego, and Don Tolliver. Daniel was our waiter and he was very kind and accommodating. I'd recommend trying everything we ordered especially the Lebanese Florets, Muhammara Rojo, and Pita Bread. CREAM Light (really good lemonade, sweet and a little sour): 4.5/5 Falafel Pockets: 4/5 Lebanese Florets: 5/5 Pescado y Tarator: 4.5/5 Pita Bread: 4.5/5 Muhammad's Rojo: 5/5 Baklava Cheesecake: 4/5 read more

It's a hidden gem tucked on the 2nd floor. It's a nice speakeasy vibe with great food and cocktails.

Part of the charm of this restaurant is trying to find it... I was told it used to be a speakeasy and has that vibe... I hope they don't change this! It adds to the experience of surprise and adventure where you will find a very intimate atmosphere with great drinks, food, dessert and service! My bestie took me here for my birthday and it made me forget how old I'm getting! Highly recommend the Harissa Lamb chops, hummus and pita, Baklava cheesecake and tea and the amazing Once upon a time in Mexico cocktail! read more

The ambiance, location and service was excellent. The food is all tapas style which is a great concept. Small plates to share and a great way to taste several things. We really loved the coleslaw side that was served with the chicken skewer. But I think the food is a bit over priced for what it is. The baklava cheesecake was delicious as well as their specialty drinks but the main food was okay. Nothing to write home about if you know what I mean. I would be back for the beautiful ambiance and bar area. Its very dark and mysterious even, but classy & beautiful. If you want a nice, different scenery u should try this place. It feels very intimate & romantic. I only gave 3 stars because besides the drink & dessert, I wasnt left wanting to rave to anyone about the actual food items I ordered. It was good, just didnt knock my socks off. read more

The aesthetic of this place is a conversation of its own. It has incredible attention to detail & ambient lighting. It's definitely a quieter spot that features bar top, couches, and tables.

We have been wanting to try this spot but haven't made it happen until today. Pros: Ambience- it's an intimate lounge setting and the vibe was fantastic. Perfect for a date night! Service- one of the dishes we ordered was not delivered, which turned out for the best as we ordered many small plates to share and we wouldn't have been able to finish if we had received it. However, this was a surprise as we were only 1 of 3 tables. We asked if this was normal but our server indicated it was an unusually slow night. Food- We tried several dishes and everything was tasty. My companion would have preferred everything to be more spicy but I thought it was all perfectly flavorful and delicious without the burning sensation I often encounter with spicy dishes! Drinks- Tasty! Cons: This was a rather expensive outing for a meal of shared plates. While we enjoyed it this one won't make it into our normal rotation but be reserved for a special treat!! read more

My friends and I went out for a girls night, wanted to try this place. Our first time here! It was really pretty inside, mood lighting, beautiful tables. The server was super nice, went over all the drinks with us, and the menu. The drinks were just ok, but the food was delicious! Loved the lamb, the crispy potatoes, the chicken skewers. I have celiac, but my friends all had the cheesecake and said it was the best they've ever had! The only downside was it was super hot! We were all sweating, 2 of my friends had to bust out handheld fans because it was so hot. The server said the air was on the whole time, but we were dying. We would have stayed for more drinks, but it was just too hot for us. I figure we will come back when the weather cools off! read more

Love this place. It's my favorite restaurant in Redlands! Love the lamb, Labneh, and the pistachio cheesecake!

This was my first and last visit to Cedar Agave. The service was painfully slow. We waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to our table. The drinks looked nice but were mostly ice with barely any alcohol. For the price, it felt like a rip-off. When we were ready to leave, our server stood at the bar talking instead of bringing the check. The place itself looks good, and the bar has a nice vibe, but that's where the positives end. The food portions were small and definitely not shareable as described. Overall, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. I wouldn't recommend it and won't be going back. read more

Cedar Agave: This was my wife's and I first time and we were celebrating our one year wedding anniversary. They knew this. Host: Taylor As we waited in the waiting area on the only two seats, since we arrived for our reservation 15 minutes early; We noticed three groups of guests walk in and they all asked for seating at the Bar as walk-ins without reservations. First group of 4 was turned down as they had no reservation and the hostess Taylor stated they didn't have seating available. Second group of two women were turned down for the same. The last was a couple of two. The hostess changed her answer to "we might have room, Let me see what's available" instead of flat out turning them down the same as the prior. No one walked out, so the seating availability had not changed and after walking in to be seated, there were seats available at the bar. 4 to be exact. This was a span of 15 minutes. Whether this was intentional or not, they SEEM to have a preference on who they will let in for walk-ins. So have a reservation, for a better seating experience. Waiter/server: Daniel Service was good, but could be elevated tremendously. We're non drinkers and we quickly realized they cater more towards a drinking table. Although Daniel was kind, he lacked using his knowledge of the menu to give us a better experience, especially for our anniversary. No congratulations was given until the end of our dining. As they gave us our check. They said, "we normally give a free shot for events and anniversaries, since you don't drink, congrats" Which is fine, we would have enjoyed the congrats at the beginning instead of, "oh damn, forgot to say it, they don't drink so just tell them awkwardly at the end as we give them the check" In my opinion, after seeing the menu, they serve mocktails. He didn't even suggest a mocktail for non alcoholic drinkers. So that was a miss for us. He also did not explain anything on the menu like he did with the larger party next to us and arrived after us. He explained what each item was, how it was served. We learned more about the menu from listening to him say it to the other table. Though, we had already ordered at this point. Overall hospitality was a miss. Menu knowledge is biased based on who they feel like giving it to IMO. They don't cater to Vegans much, although it seems like they have options on their menu, they were out of some of the vegan items we wanted. Food: - Filet Mignon Skewers (Gluten Free) 42$ Cooked to their preference, this was a delicious dish. The flavors were profound and complement eachother well. - Portobello Skewers (Vegan) 16$ No joke, you can make this at home after a trip to sprouts and you'll get more for your buck. However it's always still nice to be served. It was also seasoned and flavored well. Very delicious, but not worth the portion. - Batata Harra (Vegan, Gluten Free) 12$ This was the best item we ordered. We should have gotten only this and ordered multiple servings as this was so delicious. The savory and saltiness was perfectly matched. - Papi Ghanoush (Vegan, Gluten Free) 14$ This takes number 2 on our favorite. It was very flavorful and fresh. The Pita bread was perfect in texture and taste. This was worth it being the appetizer - BakLava cheesecake (Vegetarian) 15$ Baked by the Owners mother. (According to the waiter Daniel, after he told the other party this information. We only over heard it since we didn't get the same hospitality as the other parties. Unsure why. This was a good cheesecake, but comparable to any other cheesecake. Served a-little warm when I got it. Truthfully, jack in the box's New York style cheesecake can satisfy your sweet tooth and at a quarter of the price. However it being homemade does entice you to try it. Just go in with normal hopes. - Oaxacan Chocolate Crème (Vegan) 15$ They were out of the only Vegan Dessert my wife could try. They show vegan options but we're lacking in those areas. They seem to cater more to the drinking aspect they provide. Noise Level: Very low and intimate. Great for a couple to spend time together and talk to eachother without needing to raise your voice. The Ambiance was beautiful and calm. Everything was aesthetically pleasing visually. Very photo worthy place. Overall: This place gives you more of a Speakeasy vibe. Very small and intimate. The service is lacking and could undergo some empathy and hospitality training. The food was delicious. However the service wasn't good enough to look past to try again. Especially flopping on a couples first wedding Anniversary. There are rules of a dress code however we noticed many with sneakers, anime cartoon shirts, sportswear, shorts, etc that they say would not meet dress code. I give this a 3 Star, for the food being good. They have a solid team in the back of house. The Front of house needs work for their "seem less dining experience" to be viable. read more

I hesitated in writing a review because I didn't want this place to explode in popularity, but it's too good of a secret to keep. We were looking for a new place to eat after a rough day at work, and thought we'd check this new one out (it had just opened a few weeks ago and had nine reviews at the time). Our GPS led us to right outside the Oyster Bar and Don Orange, but there were no signs on the outside indicating we were in the right place. We called for directions and were instructed to go through the Oyster Bar, up the stairs, and down a long, dark corridor. It felt very exclusive, kinda like Platform 9¾ or Diagon Alley. The restaurant itself is small and intimate, and very dark. The staff was friendly and attentive, and took the time to describe the menu and give (excellent) recommendations. The food itself was incredible. They're small plates priced similarly to what you'd pay for a full-sized entrée elsewhere - which we were fine with, cuz it meant we got to try more things. We ordered five dishes between the two of us, which was plenty. Every dish was great - the papi ghanoush, fried cheese with sesame, lamb chops, and baclava cheesecake were all unique flavors and very yummy. I don't even like cauliflower, and the cauliflower dish was surprisingly delicious. Of the things we tried, the unassuming potatoes were our favorite! The outside was thinly crispy, the inside collapsed like a fluffy cloud, and it was seasoned perfectly. Probably the best potatoes I've ever had. We need to come back and try the rest of the menu, but it's hard to imagine it being better than the stuff we got. Highly recommend this place - go before it gets discovered and inevitably becomes overcrowded! read more

I came here on a double date and was really impressed with the overall vibe. As soon as you walk up the stairs, you're greeted by a friendly hostess and welcomed into a space that feels stylish and cozy. The atmosphere had a cool, moody feel to it--perfect for a night out. Our server was attentive, and the drinks were fantastic--creative, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. The food was surprisingly delicious. I really appreciated how they fused Mexican and Lebanese flavors; being half Lebanese and half Mexican myself, it felt personal and nostalgic to taste familiar flavors in a totally new way. That said, the food did take a while to come out. I'm guessing they may have been short-staffed in the kitchen that night, which is understandable, but it did slow things down. Also, the prices were on the higher side, and I'm not sure the portion sizes completely justified the cost. Overall, I loved the ambiance and would definitely come back for drinks and small bites. I'm not sure I'd return for a full dinner, but it's a great spot to hang out, grab a cocktail, and enjoy a few flavorful dishes in a unique setting. read more

For ambiance I give it an A+ sadly it goes downhill from there. I don't mind paying $200 for dinner for 2, but for the I shouldn't leave hungry. Very small serving for the price. The entrees are really appetizer size for an entree price. The food was good, not great. Had it not been for the feeling I'd just overpaid for what turned out to be 4 appetizers I'd most definitely be satisfied and return. By far the best thing on the menu is the cheesecake. I'll surely come back after eating somewhere else for dessert and coffee. read more
