We were a little bit apprehensive when we heard the restaurant changed hands, but everything was so good. Josh our waiter was very attentive and helpful, the food was amazing (Prime Rib French Dip and Honey Fried Chicken) and of course, the coconut cake we really came for (my favorite) didn’t disappoint. It might have even been better than last time! Perfect anniversary dinner! Thank you!

So disappointed since new owners took over. I always loved their curried chicken salad. It did not taste the same and the amount of food was a lot less and a lot more expensive. Their delicious walnut bread is not being served anymore either. The person that got the ahi sandwich had to take it apart since the size of the bread was overwhelming and couldn’t be eaten as a sandwich. The other person was underwhelmed with their salad. The service was excellent as always.

Clean, beautiful patio seating, great location in downton San Juan Capistrano. Menu is pretty straight forward but their sandwiches had a nice twist that we had to try. We had the BLT and the Strawberry Turkey Bri and both were delicious. Will be back to try their brunch and dinner menu. Service was good!

Not Cedar Creek Inn anymore, as if July 1 it is Tavern at the Mission. Chief Wilhelm is moving forward with the transition. We arrived early, 5 pm as we had a play to attend across the street at the Mission. Although the menu looked wonderful we didn’t make it past the Happy Hour menu/selections (Monday 3pm until closing, Tuesday- Fri 4 to 6 pm, I think). Discounts on some great wines, beer drinks, and a super selection of appetizers, and a few Slider Selections . We tried the Charred Brussel Sprouts, Coconut Crusted Shrimp, Shrimp Dijon, French Onion Soup, Clam Chowder, and Home made Potatoe Chips with Blue Cheese. For desert, the famous Coconut Cake with Ice Cream (same as Cedar Creek Inn) – ALL EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

My friend and I arrived here at 5:30pm on a Friday night and to our surprise were seated immediately on the patio. What a classy, beautiful setting with old trees, ferns and flowers. We started with the Sesame Calamari with Jalapeño Tarter Sauce. I order Calamari whenever possible, and Cedar Creek’s Calamari is completely different from anything I’ve tasted. Lightly Breaded, moist, sprinkled with cheese and black sesame seeds. Jalapeño Tarter Sauce is delightful! My friend had the Chicken Papaya Salad and I had the Cedar Creek Burger. A couple at the next table were enjoying the special of crab legs with veggies and let me take a picture. There was live music which added to the ambiance. A delightful meal.

Wonderful Mother’s Day brunch! So impressed by Evelyn. She went out of her way to ensure we had the most perfect afternoon. She’s a gem! And, a huge shoutout to our lovely server, Sierra. She was so kind, had wonderful suggestions, and was an absolute delight. Food was very good, and atmosphere on the patio was serene. We will be definitely be back again. Thank you, Evelyn for your amazing hospitality!

Was very disappointed. I have been coming to cedar creek for six years and have ordered my favorites. Today when I ordered one of my favorites on the menu (same description from prior visits) the entree was completely different. We were then informed that the restaurant was under new ownership and therefore they were making changes to the menu. I wish I would have know prior to spending a large amount on a very below mediocre meal. Chances of returning are slim to none due to changes also with the dessert menu. Service was good and management was very kind.

We are not locals, but we have been going to Cedar Creek Inn for the last several years for events, luncheons, etc. We had a group of 17 for a graduation party last night. I reached out about a month ago and received prompt assistance from the General Manager. The GM and owner worked with me to create a set menu and wine list. I was so distracted with end of school year activities that they often emailed me two or three times before I responded. Without exception, they were understanding and so helpful. The event went off so wonderfully, with considerations made for my elderly mother in law and guests who were just “stopping in.” The food was spectacular! The service was top notch. I would definitely do an event here again.

Truly so sad. I’m posting this because Cedar Creek Inn was bought out and my Friend Kim says it was not good! All the wonderful food they had is mostly gone! The new menu is just not the same and before she says it was truly aware a Chef had made the food. Now, she said it was so disappointing. Please new owner change some food back! I tried too and it was not your magnificent food! Please read this and make changes.
