Cedar Creek Inn - San Juan Capistrano

Not the Cedar Creek anymore. Menu not the same. Disappointed with everything. They used to have a jalapeño pasta that was awesome. I had a drink and left. Won’t be back.

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!!!!!!!Can't wait until next trip to dive into the MAIN MENU!!!!!!

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.

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!
