Restaurants near Schabarum Regional Park

Cedar Creek Inn is one of the best restaurants (and strangely least known) in OC. Great food at a great price. Always a pleasure to dine there.

We ordered the Land & Sea. Everything was cooked to perfection. The flavors were superb and the timing perfect. Jacob our chef made our dining experience great… he was charming, professional and overall entertaining. He seasoned our meal just right. We visit the restaurant often but never has the food tasted as good as it did yesterday.

The Carne Asada is amazing. I probably come here twice a month for it. My wife likes to mix it up a little bit more. She really likes the salads and last night. She had the mahi-mahi. We enjoy sitting on the patio, especially on weekends when the weather is nice.

We went on a Tuesday to celebrate our son's birthday. Not many people were there so it was a much calmer experience than the times we have gone on a weekend. The food is always delicious. The lights and neon colors on the walls are really cool too. Service is exceptional 👌. I recommend the Queso Fundido, it has mushrooms and chorizo 🤤 so good. Price wasn't too bad. We ate as a party of 8 adults and 1 child and the total was $286-ish . They were also kind enough to store the cake we brought. At the end, they all came to do a dance and make a big deal for the birthday boy with sparklers and everything. Great experience for a weekday 👍 Weekends are much more for the party type, especially if you are drinking since they make a huge deal when people order flights of shots. You just have to go and see for yourself ☺️

We have been coming here since it opened along with its sister restaurant Cha Cha's, just a few doors down. Our favorite spot if it is just the two of us is the bar. The bartenders have changed over the years, but the caliber of service has not. If you arrive late for a drink & dinner, you are never rushed...actually I hadn't even realized we were the last as my husband and I asked about different liquors we hadn't noticed before. You can't go wrong with the Almafi Fizz, my favorite and one of their signature drinks. Their food is outstanding, love the scallops! Last night we went for my husband's birthday...it was Monday night special, lasagna, garlic bread & Caesar salad for I believe was $20. I can eat, yet I took half of it home! My husband loves their chicken parmesan...he too took half home and was pleased that they presented him with tiramisu & a candle for his birthday...the extra touch appreciated! Yes, I would give them a 10! We will be back next week for a relaxing dinner or maybe Cha Cha's for a little more noise... let's face it, tacos, tequila brings the noise level up!
