    Mixed experience at Cedar Knoll for Easter brunch due to a high volume of patrons and slightly chaotic experience. Our server was warm and polite but I don’t think we will be back, especially on a busy holiday!

    This was on Easter Sunday, but we were celebrating my daughter's birthday. I called twice to say we were celebrating a birthday. They were overbooked, understaffed, untrained staffing - it was horrible. The tables were crowded together, the noise was horrible. The service was VERY slow. Not once did they tell me it was a fixed price dinner - two of us are vegan, one is gluten-free. No choices. The tip was written in at 20% and the bill was over six hundred dollars for four adults, three children. Will never go again.

    A lovely setting, unique menu options, delicious food and great service! We had the venison and veal dishes, and peanut pie for dessert. Recommend all of them.

    Really excellent Sunday brunch. Interesting menu selections, well presented. Refined atmosphere but not stuffy (children at nearby table well catered for). Overall even better than expected!
