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)...
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. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $50–100 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
What a fantastic restaurant! We dined here before the SO-CAL Bb tournament and the food was amazing! Even our 22-year-old son enjoyed it! He ordered the Jalapeño Jack Pasta, while I had the special Parmesan crusted fish, and both dishes were incredible! My husband had his usual, the meat pigeon, which he always loves. The atmosphere was warm and cheerful, especially with the Christmas carols playing in the background.
The restaurant features a clean and beautiful terrace for seating, located in the heart of Downtown San Juan Capistrano. The menu is quite straightforward, but their sandwiches offer an interesting twist that we couldn't resist trying. We opted for the BLT and the Strawberry Turkey Bri, both of which were delightful. We look forward to returning to sample their brunch and dinner menus. The service was also good!

Let's begin with the grand finale: dessert. The Lush is absolutely incredible! It's simply spectacular. The chopped salad and the Monte Cristo are out of this world. I absolutely love this restaurant! I was so impressed that I returned for my birthday this year! If you're looking for a delightful lunch in Capistrano, don't hesitate—this is the place to go.
This place is no longer Cedar Creek. The menu has changed and I was really disappointed by everything. They used to have an amazing jalapeño pasta, but it's no longer available. After having a drink, I decided to leave and I won't be returning. Food: 1, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 3.
Overall, the food was excellent. The pâté was exceptional, and I really enjoyed the lobster shrimp club sandwich, though I found the toasted thick sourdough made it a bit too bready. My wife liked the curried chicken salad, and we both always appreciate the coconut cake.
