Cedar Creek Inn - San Juan Capistrano

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.

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!

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.

We’ve been going to the various locations for over twenty years. Our last visit to this location (2-3 years ago? was what we remembered. However the most recent visit was a big disappointment. The staff seemed indifferent. The food was mediocre. We asked for bread (remember the famous batter bread? and instead got a couple of pieces of poorly toasted sourdough. I’m sad that what we considered an institution has become a shadow of its former culinary glory.

Tried their new lobster/shrimp BLT, was excellent...
