CEDAR land+ sea kitchen

This is a fabulous restaurant in our little town. I don’t normally write reviews, but wanted to counter the negative ones for Cedar. Tonight was our first time here, and to my surprise, the small place was packed! So, obviously popular. The atmosphere is casual, and a bit upscale. While not exquisite, the food and drinks are of excellent quality at reasonable prices. The owners clearly care about what they serve, and it was all delicious, from the fried green tomatoes with goat cheese, through the stuffed shrimp, Chesapeake chicken, then dessert. I especially appreciated that the entrees come with two sides: a carb and a perfectly cooked ample amount of fresh veggies. Nothing too salty or loaded with fats. This will be our go-to friendly restaurant with great food, from now on! One of the best restaurants in the Bethany Beach area, IMHO.

We have been intrigued to try this new restaurant and stopped in on a Saturday evening. By luck there was a table open just as we walked in and we were seated immediately. Evan was our waiter and he was excellent, he knew the drinks well and the local things they were named after. He was also familiar with all of the dishes and easily answered our questions. We started with cocktails from a nice selection and shared the conch, clam and character fritters, they came with a delicious dipping sauce. We chose the Cedar paella for two as our entree and it was amazing! The presentation was excellent and cooked to perfection. This is a small space but it is quite loud at times and would benefit from some sound baffles to help absorb the noise. Great job so far and I can only imagine they will keep learning and improving.

Great food!! Surprised by the quality of the seafood and pasta especially for being around Ocean View / Bethany Beach
