| - Finally got a chance to try this relatively new fine dining establishment at the corner of Cedar and Richmond roads. It sits where Melange used to be, but boy... Cedar Creek owners seems to have spared no expenses in decking this place out. They've extended the space for ample dining areas, which are beautifully designed and decorated - elegant, but simple; not over the top.
On to the food... got a bowl of lobster bisque with my 14 oz. sirloin steak with a side of corn slaw salad. Steak was perfectly medium... oh so tender and juicy! I cleared my plate, salad, too. While I can't say I'm an expert on lobster bisque, I enjoyed theirs. Went with kids; tips for parents - they don't have a printed kids menu but they can make just about whatever your kids may want on the fly... mac & cheese, chicken fingers, bowl of pasta, burger, etc. I was impressed!
On to the desert... we got to try the chocolate pot de creme and the pomegranate and black raspberry sorbet. I'm not huge on chocolate, but the pot de creme had perfect texture. Surprisingly, and by accident, combining the sorbet with the pot de creme made an awesome complimentary pair! The sorbet is probably the best I've had.
Service by Caitlyn (sp?) was awesome. She was personable, attentive and helpful.
Lastly, while our entire experience went off without a hitch, I just left one star out because I wish this place is a little more affordable. Great place, great food, great service... an establishment that I'd love to frequent, but most without a ton of disposable income would probably have to plan for.
