Welcome to Cafe At Cedars!
Welcome to Cafe At Cedars!
Thank you for allowing me to share
my passion for fine foods with you, your friends, and your
family. I say my passion but I really mean our
passion because at Cafe At Cedars we are all passionate about
fine foods.
Every meal is prepared by hand, to order,
primarily from raw ingredients, in our on-site kitchen. Only
the finest, freshest ingredients are served including name
brand products such as Jail Island Salmon and Black Angus Beef.
Daily specials always include unique freshwater or saltwater
fish. I normally use organic produce and local purveyors to
insure consistent quality.
My approach is to blend freshness with
intense flavors. I accomplish this with sauces fashioned from
beef, fish, poultry, and vegetable stocks (fume’ and broths)
which are infused with herbs, olive oils, wines, or distilled
spirits. Aioli’s are normally mayonnaise based though some
are soy-based. I use a blend of canola and
organic extra virgin olive oil for
sautéed and pan seared menu items.
Our Brown Rice Pilaf is gluten free and we have
gluten free pasta available.
2% milk or soy milk are used as bases in
soups and as flavoring in sauces (heavy cream or butter are
rarely used). For most menu items I add a “scant” of kosher
salt and pepper grind – the least amount possible for taste. I
can satisfy most dietary restrictions at your request.
The presentation of every meal is
carefully considered with a gourmet eye and every plate is
garnished with organic greens.
For dessert all bets are off – yes, there
will be a healthy dessert item on the menu but the fact is the
best desserts are decadent and decadence is not fat free.
I aim to please. If at anytime you are
not satisfied with your dining experience please ask for me
immediately.
