   We intend to book for an actual lunch on a Sunday, but it’s not obvious anywhere that this place only has brunch on weekends! I don’t understand why is that. The brunch is very ordinary, heavy but not taste, lack of innovation, delicacy or any surprise at all, it was such a waste of the nice venue. There weren’t a lot of customers in there when we arrived, but service was not good. They were left waiting for like 15mins after getting the drinks, really? Also missed a side that we ordered, didn’t bring stake knife when we requested. Some are nitpicks, like serving a congee without any spoons. Attention to details matters, that’s how I differentiate a repeat-worthy restaurant vs a not-ever one. And the waitress almost intentionally serve and chatted other tables before answering to our requests, every single time. One last thing, I noted on the reservation that it was for my dad’s birthday, but nothing happened. I guess I shouldn’t be disappointed. It just not a nice restaurant.

   Came here as a spot for a best friend date and it was perfect. The ambiance is sooooo 1920’s inspired and so cozy. Food and drink were amazing and the service was outstanding with the staff being so sweet and kind. Will definitely be coming back!

   It was ok, not bad. The menu is pretty much the same for Cedar+Elm and the 2 other hotel bars. One and done.

   This was our first visit here and we were delighted. The table was ready for us. The waitress was pleasant, helpful, and attentive. Everything we ordered was brought to the table in a timely manner. Everything from cocktails to food, dessert, and coffee was perfectly prepared and presented. We will definitely be back.

   Nice attention to quality with the food and the space is lovely. We were there on a Thursday evening and it was pretty empty, which detracted from the vibe a bit. The service was attentive and friendly and they treated us well.

    From start to finish, our anniversary dinner at Cedar + Elm was nothing short of extraordinary. Opting for the chef’s tasting menu, we were treated to a stunning progression of courses that showcased impeccable technique, creativity, and the finest ingredients. Each dish was perfectly balanced in flavor and beautifully presented. The wine pairings were equally impressive, thoughtfully curated to enhance every dish and elevate the entire dining experience. Our favorites included the starter crab bites, the sliced steak course, and the dessert to finish. What truly set the night apart, however, was the outstanding service. Our dining staff went above and beyond to ensure our anniversary was celebrated in the most memorable way. From personalized touches to warm and attentive hospitality, we felt genuinely cared for throughout the evening. The attention to detail and passion from the staff were evident in every aspect of the experience. Chef Luke took the time to show us the kitchen hearth and explain how he came to be here at Cedar + Elm. If you’re looking for an exceptional culinary journey, Cedar + Elm delivers on every level. We left feeling not only satisfied but truly inspired by the level of care and craftsmanship that went into every course. We can’t wait to return for another dinner service!
