    I don't say it lightly when I say Summit House has top notch service. Every single time we go, from the greeter, to the person escorting us to our table, the server, the manager who comes by to make sure everything's good, and even the staff who come to bus the table and box our leftover food at the end of the meal make you feel like you're royalty for the night. There's definitely a reason why Summit House is always busy and making a reservation is a must!

    First time at the Cedar Creek Inn Brea, and it was a great experience! This restaurant has a wonderful ambiance and and staff is very friendly and attentive. We really enjoyed the food, including an excellent tomato basil pizza and an extremely fresh and tasty bbq chicken salad. The prime rib was very good, with the only negative being a lukewarm and aged baked potato. Everything else was delicious and the service is A+. Will return without question!!

    We have been coming here since it opened along with its sister restaurant Cha Cha's, just a few doors down. Our favorite spot if it is just the two of us is the bar. The bartenders have changed over the years, but the caliber of service has not. If you arrive late for a drink & dinner, you are never rushed...actually I hadn't even realized we were the last as my husband and I asked about different liquors we hadn't noticed before. You can't go wrong with the Almafi Fizz, my favorite and one of their signature drinks. Their food is outstanding, love the scallops! Last night we went for my husband's birthday...it was Monday night special, lasagna, garlic bread & Caesar salad for I believe was $20. I can eat, yet I took half of it home! My husband loves their chicken parmesan...he too took half home and was pleased that they presented him with tiramisu & a candle for his birthday...the extra touch appreciated! Yes, I would give them a 10! We will be back next week for a relaxing dinner or maybe Cha Cha's for a little more noise... let's face it, tacos, tequila brings the noise level up!
