We went to Cedar’s Restaurant for a late lunch for the first time yesterday. Overall the dining experience was good, and the waitress was extremely friendly and responsive, and the prices were not too high. However given the resort setting and the reviews I had...read online, I thought the meal might be a little bit better. From the reviews I had read I was expecting to have an outstanding meal.More
Food was absolutely horrible. The Caesar salad was bland, the Gemalli pasta was super salty and undercooked and the prawns were RAW. The turkey club was inedible as there was a NASTY bright pink “cranberry mayo” slathered over the non-toasted bun, over the dry turkey...and over the bland bacon. Even the fries were nasty- unsalted, flavourless and chalky. The only good thing about the meal were the belinni and beer.More

The best service! Delicious meal, fun drinks. We tried a drink special which was dangerously good and the spinach and artichoke dip starter with 3 cheeses has to be tasted to be believed! Our mains were steaks and ribs - all so tender! Our waiter...treated us like we were his close friends and took care of our every request. He did service the way it should be done. We can’t wait to come back - such a wonderful treat for all of us.More
Good day Banana6464, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. So glad you enjoyed the spinach & artichoke dip, steak & ribs. We're very happy to hear you were well taken care of by your server. We look forward to having you return.
We went to dinner with friends. In a group of 6: 1 person received a chicken dish when they ordered vegetarian & 2 people ordered medium rare and were given well done. The manager explained that it was a new menu and the chefs were...still learning. Really? This is the response for the price point they charge? Our waiter was lovely and tried really hard to make up for the quality of the food. Not entirely sure how they manage to stay open with only a 50% success rate on tables.More

We had high hopes when we looked up the restaurant online, but unfortunately we were very dissatisfied with the food. The atmosphere was nice , and the service was adequate but the food was not good - most dishes were overly salty, overcooked and just...plain unpalatable. The breakfast was slightly better than dinner, but not by much.More

My wife had the butter chicken bowl and I had the rib eye with prawns. The food was excellent, especially the steak. Only downfall was that our server (an older waitress) was not the friendliest or most attentive. Also, ordered a slice of carrot cake...to go that was pretty dry.. Overall, would recommend it though. Lively atmosphere and enjoyed the evening.More

This is a perfect place to start for fantastic drinks food wine, great atmosphere sit by the fire. Enjoy the deer.
Ok...Let me start with the positive: -The restaurant is nice, comfortable, and clean. The lounge area is very nice. -The service was excellent But here is the negative: -The food was BLAND! The cod and shrimp cake we ordered as an appetizer were bland and...mushy. The beef dip was average. I had the Poke bowl and while the presentation was lovely and the ingredients were fresh, the sauce was again quite blandMore
Chelsea was a wonderful server!!! There were 7 of us and everyone enjoyed their meals. The prices are high for what you get, but it was tasty.
Not impressed with the food. Very disappointed. The service was great but the food was not. We had family there but was really disappointed with the food.
My sister and I stopped here for breakfast as we were staying in the spa bungalows. We both ordered avocado toast. It arrived on non buttered dry cold toast. The add on egg was fried to rubber like consistency. Well, we did eat it but...next time we will bring our own food and eat in our bungalow. It's a bit of a shame because the food at the Grotto was fabulous. Not so at Cedars.More
We were looking for somewhere good but quick. We ordered pizza online to pick up here. It was excellent.
Expected better. Lounge is a really nice room. Good cocktails but slow coming out. Caesar salad was tasteless and the worst I have ever had. Tenderloin actually burned/black on one side (surprised it was even served). Prawns served as add-on to steak and a pasta...dish were served chopped up rather then whole and were salty. Pasta dish was good. Pretty sure the salmon wellington was a frozen product and wasn’t very good, despite being recommended. Veggies served on side were really good. Would return for a drink, but not dinner.More
Highly recommend this place. We were staying at the Tigh-na-ma resort and our room came with a $30 credit at the restaurant. The food was excellent, I had the sirloin and my friend has the salmon. The food was cooked to perfection. Desserts were also...scrumptious. The service was also great; attentive staff with great memory for special requests.More
We hosted a ‘rehearsal dinner’ at Cedars prior to a beautiful beach wedding. The staff went above and beyond to make the experience amazing on all levels. The food, the service and the personal attention were very much appreciated. It was truly a very special...experience. Thank you to everyone who worked with us before, during and after our event. We look forward to dining at Cedars again and again! B. Conners Courtenay, BCMore
