    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!

    Dear Jerimiah, Your glowing review has us over the moon, thank you so much for sharing! We are thrilled to have hosted your wonderful anniversary celebration, and are beyond delighted to know that our fabulous team and the Chef's Tasting Menu were able to make the experience all the more memorable. We can't wait to welcome you for another culinary adventure, and hope to host you again soon! Cheers, The Cedar + Elm Team

    Best dinner I’ve had in a long time. The Gravlax and Pork Belly small plates started us off well and then the poussin was absolutely delicious. We rounded off the meal with a special dessert for our anniversary that blew us away. Big fan of the tiny earl grey marshmallows! Overall a fantastic evening. We will definitely be back.

    Very innovative dishes (main and small) that were delightful. Ambience was subdued in high-walled, outward facing booths. It was a clever arrangement to accommodate larger boisterous parties and still have a romantic setting for couples. Service and presentation were flawless. Cocktails were creative, beautiful and delicious. Can’t think of one thing that could be better.
