Cedar + Stone, Urban Table
The name and location inside MoA had me assuming a more casual restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised by a more upscale dining experience.
The staff was very friendly and attentive but not intrusive. When something was needed, they were there, otherwise leaving us to enjoy our meal and conversation.
The food was amazing. My steak was a perfect medium rare, and very tender. My side was an interesting seared potato and shallot patty that I truly enjoyed. She got the short rib, subbing their whipped potatoes for the grits and praised both. Their beet appetizer, and carrot side dish were equally wonderful. Delicious and firm but just tender enough to cut with a fork.
We had the same server for 4 of our 5 breakfasts. Eloisa is amazing! So friendly and attentive! She treated us like family (the kind you like). She even brought my wife a birthday card on her birthday!
We had the opportunity to meet Chef Kunal. What a great chef! He took the best care of us and the food was outstanding! Our favorite items were the cinnamon swirl french toast and the vegan hash. Although, everything was really good! Chef Kunal is very personable and has a passion for what he does.
We also met the restaurant manager, Solomon. He is doing a great job as the cleanliness of the restaurant and friendliness of the staff are a reflection of his leadership.
Overall, everyone went above and beyond. The three individuals mentioned above definitely have a heart for hospitality and take pride in what they do!
Great atmosphere. I see there’s indoor and outdoor seating. Our server was very kind and helpful. Always available when we needed her.
I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.
I highly recommend visiting this place with family for a nice outing. We look forward to coming back!
