Cedar Creek Inn - Brea

This is definitely one of our favorite spots! I always order the rack of lamb with mint jelly—don't forget the mint jelly! Matt opted for the New York strip cooked medium rare, which was delicious, although the vegetables could use a little more flavor. We're looking forward to enjoying our leftovers for steak and eggs in the morning! For an appetizer, we had the Smoky turkey rolls with raspberry sauce, and they were quite tasty! As for drinks, Matt chose the Fire and Ice while I went for the Mexican Candy; both drinks were excellent choices. Matt also tried a new drink, the Coo-Coolada, which had a strong coconut flavor! We finished our meal with the crème brûlée, which is always fantastic here. We highly recommend this place!

When we first arrived, the host wasn't very welcoming—perhaps she was having a tough day. However, the experience improved significantly from there. The food was absolutely amazing! It is a bit pricey, so it might be best to reserve it for special occasions, but it's definitely worth it. Our waitress was outstanding, and our meals came out quickly. The ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful as well.

The shrimp was overcooked, and the steak was served cold. However, the vegetables were excellent. The wine was decent, but the signature cocktails weren’t visually appealing; the espresso martini looked like it came from a clogged sink. The chocolate cake was rather average. Unfortunately, the gluten-free pasta option has been removed from the menu. Overall, it felt like a 4-star price for a 3-star meal.

Everything was amazing. My husband took me here to celebrate, and the food and service were great. We ordered the steak and lobster, chef kiss delicious. The crab cakes are a must have -we even ordered a 2nd batch to take back with us. We will definitely visit again!

My family a party of 17 had an incredible experience on Thanksgiving. The front desk team was so patient and professional when I asked to dine in a different area and add 2 more seats. The wait staff, bartender, hostess were all so kind and went beyond with their service. It's not easy to work on Thanksgiving and I applaud your entire team for their dedication to GREAT service. The food was delicious!
