Very nice decor and friendly atmosphere. It's nice to have something different than the several large restaurant groups that are putting up spots everywhere around town. The menu has a lot of options including seafood, meats,and poultry. Ended the meal woth the warms churros with ice cream it was great as well. Definitely recommend.

Cedar is a hidden gem. Off the beaten path, with exceptional food and drink served by friendly people who genuinely want every patron to leave with a great experience. We went during Covid when staffing was short, and they immediately acknowledged that they were shorthanded but still provided drinks right away and got appetizers out fast. The owner came by a couple times to check on us, refill waters, and thank us for choosing Cedar. I can't wait to return next summer!

Excellent food and Amy is a great staff member. We tried 3 soups and they were all first rate. Hopefully the pumpkin will stay on the menu for as long as possible. Too bad the room is so loud, it unfortunately made the table conversation difficult.

Delicious food! But you should get reservations. We went when it opened but was already full with reserved tables. I can see why though. This is the place to be. We were able to sit outside though so we could enjoy the food. Also a bit quieter. Service was perfect. We will be back. I had filet which was perfect. Someone else had scallops which were fantastic as well.
