The EXCELLENT entertainment on Wednesdays brings us here! Darvy Traylor has a smooth, rich voice and he is a great entertainer! He takes requests and celebrates any occasion with you! We LOVE going to see him! Sometimes he has a Neal Diamond impersonator singer who joins him! He is SO fun! The atmosphere, the drinks and of course the food is fantastic! read more

Kind of a random pick for us, but after the wife had been so many times with her friends over the years, I finally had a chance to visit the Cedar Creek Inn. What a treat! For an appetizer this morning I ordered calamari and a shrimp cocktail they were generous with the shrimps, and the calamari had to be one of the top I've ever had. For breakfast, I ordered crab scallop cake Benedict ....boy was it good! I also ordered a bloody Mary that came with a large prawn , it was also delicious. Not gonna lie it could've used a little more vodka... We ordered the Nestlé tollhouse pie and we also ordered the coconut cake for dessert, no pictures of that, though. Delicious all the way through and through and the service... Couldn't have asked for a better server! I'll be back for sure. Give you another chance to earn your fifth star. read more

really wanted to like the place because the staff was very nice and welcoming, but alas this is a food review and i must stay true to...their food. we ordered the ahi tuna sashimi, angus hamburger with cheese, and the soup of the day which was clam chowder. first, the ahi tuna sashimi. what prompted us to order sashimi at an american restaurant was a mystery, and a mistake. right when it came out, the sashimi did not look fresh, and the condiments looked like the main dish instead of the sashimi. there was a huge platter of wasabi in the middle, but no amount of wasabi could save the fish. it was brown at parts and the cut was not what sashimi should look like. we voiced our concerns to the staff and she was kind to switch it to the calamari instead. although the calamari was an upgrade from the sashimi, it was still terribly soggy for a fried dish. the clam chowder and hamburger were not bad, although there was nothing special about the taste other than the fact that it looked like what they are and they tasted how you would expect it to. the meal also came with bread on the house, and it was alright too. it was a little too oily, but the taste was decent. all in all, maybe we should've ordered different dishes but food was mildly disappointing while service was excellent. it seems like a gathering for the elderly and families as the interior is cozy, there are weekly activities like line dancing that are pretty interesting. read more

Is it true?!? Cedar C. is under new ownership? Albeit there are changes I'd like to see, I can't complain about the GMs style of management after all these years. The only thing I would say (suggest?) to the new owner is, Darvy is a consummate entertainer, is loved by all and he should have a big choice in the music venue. He cares what the customers think... as it should be. We will sorely miss Carey a server that customers LOVED with her knowledge of the menu and upstanding personality! What a great place and Darvy is the big Wed night draw! A most difficult night of the week to draw in diners, but he does! Did I already say I'm SO looking forward to my next visit!! read more

Just tried this place as part of OC restaurant week. Went here for lunch and was surprised how crowded it was as the restaurant is in an office building complex. I have to say that the food was decent but nothing really stood out. I do have to say that for the price they did give large portions. I spoke with our waiter who was a little overwhelmed with the rush, but he noted that their French dip sandwich is their best thing on their menu. I will probably give them another try when they are not so busy as service was not the best. I even received our bill before we even got all of our food read more

Such amazing service from start to finish! I was impressed with the entire dinner experience. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality. I highly recommend the cedar plank salmon and the calamari--both were absolutely delicious. The prime rib is a must, and definitely add the prawns! We will 100% be back. Nice clean restaurant too :) read more

Second time is the charm. Walked in and the host was very clear with instructions. No reservation but they're all booked so only front patio or bar area left to sit for first come first serve. The server was also more knowledgable this time. Knowing we came for a coupon they knew which food qualified to be redeemable. Manager remembered us from last time we came. Steak on point. Fiancé loved this experience much more. Although it did take awhile for steak to come out (~20 mins) but I am assuming it is because they had a big party going on. Will definitely come back!!!!! Thank you for the better experience this time around! read more

The restaurant is beautiful. It's has a bar with outside seating and a dining room. This was my first visit, I had high hopes. I've read the Yelp reviews and they were mixed. I ordered the French onion soup and the fish and chips. We did order the coconut shrimp as a appetizer. The waitress was amazing she did a great job. The coconut shrimp came out hot and with a orange sauce and cocktail sauce. The coconut shrimp was delicious with the shrimp being a good size. The coconut flavor came out. It was one of best I've had. The French onion soup was a disappointment. It didn't have much flavor and the bread they used didn't work for me. The fish was okay but I expected more from a restaurant like this. The fries were very good. We did have coffee and It also was very good. Overall I don't think I'll be coming back. That's the bad side of having a restaurant. One bad experience and you won't be back. read more

It was ok, food was kind of salty and the Brie appetizer was very low quality. I noticed this place is a fave among seniors

Goof service, the food was ok. I dinner here to possibly have my reception dinner here but the food quality was mid for the price I would have paid for a party of 30. read more

This has been one of our favorite happy hours for years. You really cannot beat it. The prices are amazing, the food is phenomenal, and the bar is so much fun. The live music is also great. We always have the best date nights here. The sliders are the best ever. We recently tried the zuni rolls for the first time and we are hooked!! The turkey and cheese combined with the raspberry sauce is fantastic. You also can't go wrong with the pesto flatbread. The service is always wonderful and we will forever be regulars. read more

I have been coming to Cedar Creek for prob 10 or 15 yrs. The venue is beautifully, full bar, happy hr and outdoor patio that allows you to unwind and enjoy the live music,( I believe live music is Wednesday thru Sat however you can check with them to be sure. They have a casual dining area besides the bar n Patio, along with rooms to rent for special occasions. I like to wear dressy Casual when I visit. The Salmon and rib eye are amazing. They have a nice menu. Happy hr specials are $10. selective appetizers, pesto pizza(my fav) and Nicois salad with pieces of salmon, Beef Tacos are amazing also. I usually fill uo with a salad $10. n appetizer crab n scallop cakes $20. however full menu is offered also. I love this place !! The staff are amazing, especially Genevieve. Always patient and friendly. it gets crowded ! All the staff is great!! Love the beautiful women !! ( no im not Gay ) Highly recommended for brea area. read more

I love this place. I love good quality food and this is one of them. I don't like going to places that look good but the quality feels like fast food. That is one of the main reasons I would give a big YAY! To this restaurant the quality is surreal like made by a human not a machine! You know! I feel this place is underrated it deserves by far more. I have been going multiple times and food is awesome every time, service is good attentive people. read more

Had an amazing second visit but will definitely become a regular if the food is always this good! We started with their yummy Shishito Peppers and the best Fried Zucchini I've ever had! The batter was so light and crispy, my mouth is watering just writing this! I had a yummy Lemon Drop Martini, simply scrumptious. I ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon and my hubby had the Ahi Tuna Sandwich, both cooked to perfection! The ambiance was so cute and the conversation kept going so we ordered two of their desserts, Crème Brûlée and only the most amazing most delicious Bourbon Bread Pudding ever! They use real bourbon and can totally taste the difference. The service was friendly and helpful and our waitress kept checking in on us which we totally appreciated. Already counting the days until we can go back! read more

My daughter and son-in-law took me to Cedar Creek for my 70th birthday. It had been several years since I had been there. The food was mediocre though the prices are high. The shrimp in the fettuccine was overcooked, some of the scallops were overcooked. My son-in-law was also underwhelmed by it. My daughter's crème brûlée was the wrong, grainy texture and my cappuccino tasted like instant coffee. I won't be going back there. read more

The food was delicious and Teri was an excellent server. I had the French Onion soup and Crab Scallop cakes. My friend had the Salmon and it was very flavorful. I think the only things I didn't like were parking is hard and the room was pretty loud and it was a little hard to hear. Otherwise, I loved it. read more

We were there for a holiday brunch and I was hoping for the meatloaf or some form of it (lunch portion or a sandwich). No meatloaf on the menu. I got a burger and it was decent. The service was good as was the ambience. The coconut cake was delicious. Side note, if you want a whole cake to go, you need to order ahead. I don't think I'd go back for brunch. The menu is limited for my taste. read more

Food mediocre, service ok but server didn't know where the onion rings were from fresh ? Frozen? Ordered them took a chance terrible! Just expect more for that kind of a price . It has become a glorified Cocos Prime rib tasteless,French dip same with too much fat . Hope they get a heads up. Call in a professional consultation !! Warn out and dingy read more

Cedar Creek has a nice ambiance, also very good food. It's a little pricey but the experience is solid.

I think this place is now under new ownership but I don't think any changes have been made. The food is great as always and our server Matthew literally made our whole day. He was so kind, gave us great service, and made us feel really special. He asked us we were celebrating anything and we were celebrating my husband's birthday. He made him feel celebrated on just a small portion of our day! We will definitely going back just to sit with him! read more

My one and only visit here is when we recently attended a retirement party for my sister. The set up was in a private back room area that supported around 50 people (I think). It was a great venue for this! There were several long tables to accommodate everyone. They served several delicious appetizers buffet style, and there was also a table with salad and fruit. Plus an open bar. No one went hungry or thirsty. There was enough room to set up a screen for a slide show. There were some technical difficulties that delayed the start of the slide show, but that always happens. I really need to find time to go back to dine in the restaurant. It's really nice! read more

We've loved going to Cedar Creek Inn for years now and have many great memories there. We've visited Cedar Creek for dinner with family and friends and sometimes for their great Happy Hour menu and drinks. We also love the live entertainment in the bar and the relaxing atmosphere on their outdoor patio with firepit. We've come to know their servers and their stories over the years. We highly recommend Cedar Creek Inn whether it's for a fine dining experience or for a fun Happy Hour! read more

Though I was warned that the food here was only so-so, I didn't find that at all to be the case. My rack of lamb turned out to be supremely juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. Don't get me wrong, it's very hard to mess up lamb when the meat itself is top tier, but I've seen places where it's been dry, bland, and a total waste of money, This was the opposite of that; every bite killed. And that salted caramel ice cream pie was a rock star dessert. The portion was huge, the combination of flavors was huge, and the impact to my contentment and well-being was huge. That was a much-needed respite from the stresses of the day. The service was pretty good, but nothing too impressive. The place was reverent and comforting but not bourgeois. The ambiance was like visiting a funeral home and having a feast inside. As aforementioned, I was expecting something average coming here but got something more substantially memorable in all the best ways. I could go my whole life eating this lamb and ice cream pie. read more

For our anniversary went to Ceder Creek Restaurant .The waitresses were amazing and caring about the food being done right . I had the special three course summer meal. I ordered lamb chops and for the month of August any meat you order as an entrée comes with lobster. My heal was cooked to perfection in a delicious sauce, but the sever want "above and bettor". She brought me mint dressing in case that would be more to my liking. How thoughtful! My husband ordered seafood pasta, and wanted the pasta to be changed out to Angel hair . No problem! He liked his dish so much almost he didn't wanna taste some of my lobster or complete my entrée. That never happens. We recommend Ceder Creek Restaurant for a caring, delicious and happy dinner. read more

We went here for my birthday last night and enjoyed the coconut shrimp. But then ordered the coconut cake which is their specialty and I couldn't even finish it. It is definitely not traditional coconut cake. The cake is brown in color and it is very dense. It was covered in cream cheese frosting. It reminded me of carrot cake......so disappointed. read more

To be honest, I'm not sure why our family had never been to Cedar Creek Inn! We recently went as part of the Dine Brea event and were blown away by the tastiness of our food. We all ordered the pot roast and it was honestly glorious. We started with the French onion soup which was legit. Enjoyed our main, and finished off with a slice of their famous coconut cake. I'm not a coconut fan but trusted the waitress when she said she felt the same way about coconut but LOVED this cake. I'm glad I listened because it was SO GOOD. The portion though was enormous so definitely plan on sharing! Will be back to try other yummy items! read more

Great ambiance for great restaurant. The food was excellent last night and our waitress was very friendly. The band in the bar was a great surprise. They were great too.

Come on peeps, step up a little, it's Friday night read more

I went here for a birthday celebration and while the staff was superb the food was not as up to par as expected, especially for the price. Drinks were delicious and reasonably priced! However, the seafood fettuccini was extremely bland and thrown together. The scallops and shrimp had zero flavor and everything tasted like it had been boiled in water. Even the presentation of dish felt thrown together. On the other hand the Cedar Plank Salmon was delicious, the honey maple glaze really saved the dish. The best part of the meal was the coconut cake dessert. Overall the staff and ambience were great, but the food was mediocre. Especially for spending about $370 for 4 people. It makes me sad to leave a bad review, but I hope they work on creating dishes that are packed with flavor and are held to a higher standard comparable to the price point they are requesting. read more

Been coming here for many years. Came in today under new owners. Calamari appetizer was good. Have ordered Marcie's Salad for years. Size of the salad was much much smaller, not as much of all ingredients. Usually can't finish it. No bread served or offered. Water was not offered. Our usual waitress seemed stressed, too many tables. New owners need to step it up. Wondering if Cedar Creek will be around much longer read more

We ended up at this location for Mother's Day to celebrate my wife with two of our adult children. The ambiance was nice, and the service was attentive. We ordered the vegi omelet, eggs Benedict, and French toast. The omelette and Eggs Benedict were acceptable, but the potatoes that accompanied both dishes were less than desirable and not really edible. The French toast with fresh berries came with bacon that looked so meager, that they should be embarrassed to charge $26 for this meal, as well as there were exactly 3 berries served with the one piece of French toast. All in all, the server was sweet and pleasant, but we won't be planning on coming back to this establishment. The 3 stars is for the server and ambience and definitely not the food....oh yeah, they charge 3% to use a credit card??? Who pays cash for a $125 meal? Ridiculous! read more

We visit Cedar Creek Inn once in a while and decided to come back for Restaurant Week as they had one of the better valued offerings. The inside of the restaurant looks nice with lots of stacked stone on the walls and high wooden ceilings that give it an open feel. We were greeted by our server Tom who we immediately recognized since was our server the last few times. He provided great service once again and is a memorable person. We ordered off the Restaurant Week menu and I started with the house salad and she had the French onion soup. I really enjoyed the salad as it was a good size and had a lot of candied walnuts, blue cheese crumbles, and small chunks of apple. It also had just the right amount of balsamic vinaigrette. The French onion soup was unimpressive. It looked like a bowl of broth with no onions with a slice of bread with some melted cheese on it thrown in. You usually expect to see a nice gooey layer of melted cheese covering most of the top of the bowl. Next up was the entrees. I upgraded to the swordfish for an extra $10. It was a nice thick cut of fish and was cooked perfectly throughout and served Greek style with feta cheese and tomatoes on top which I enjoyed. I had a bite of the wild rice which ok but it had an almost grey appearance which kind of made it unappetizing. She had the cedar plank salmon which was good but the potatoes were luke warm at best. The same veggies were on both plates and were just ok. I'm not sure if they were fresh or frozen. For dessert, I had the coconut supreme cake. The cake was nice and moist and not overly sweet and the sweetness of the frosting was just right. She had the Toll House pie. It was a small slice but it was very dense and very sweet so it's a good thing it was small. The main dining room has a lot of booths and there are round tables placed in the space between booths. The table next to our booth was empty until right before we left. When a large party was seated there, the table was so close it felt like they were sitting in our booth. And when we went to leave, we had to have some of the people at the table get up because it would have been impossible to squeeze out of our booth. Overall my food was pretty good and hers was just ok. For this visit, I would give 3.5 stars but I rounded up to four stars since we have had better meals here in the past. read more

Service: good; Ambience: good; Food: pretty weak. kinda gross. Garlic cheese bread might have been good but it seemed like it was from yesterday.

Arrived for my dinner reservation last night to see a group with a dog on a leash going into the indoor dining room instead of the outside dining area. I spoke to the manager about it and she said if they put a emotional support vest on an animal they have to allow them into the inside dining area? She then told me I should check with the health dept which I did. See attached. We ate in the bar area and will never return. read more

We had a dinner party at Cesar Creek. They accommodated 18 of us. The wait staff was amazing, especially for a busy Saturday night. The decor in the restaurant is very simple and warm. The food order was placed and the staff brought out salads and entrees together. No one had to wait an extended amount of time for their food. Each complimented how the food tasted very good and drinks were constantly flowing. Our waitress staff was amazing and made the experience with a large party easy and enjoyable. read more

Good service and happy we dined during "Breakfast/Lunch" menu time. While I went for lunch I ended up trying on of their "specials".

Fruit was ripe and sweet and the potatoes were well cooked and seasoned. May have to go back and try that again read more

It was my first time going to Cedar Creek Inn. Service was quite slow because it was very busy. We had a 5:00 reservation but was not served food until about 7:00. We were a party of 10, so I was very understanding. The food was delicious, and I was really glad I ordered the seafood fettuccine. My dish had so much flavor. I literally ate the whole entire plate in one sitting. Our server was very sweet. She really tried her best to check on us. I just wish that there were more people do help her. This place serves really good food, so it really makes up for the slow service. Many people that attended the gathering told me that they go to this place on a monthly basis. I definitely can understand why. I can't wait to try the other dishes. It seems like everything on the menu is delicious. read more
