we arrived and they had about half of there main meals unavailable due to being out of it. They claimed they had blocked reservations but we had no problem making our reservation. With that being said they gave us a free drink each, I was there with my wife, and the drink was very good.

Delicious crab cakes. Amazing complimentary savory bread. Service was awesome. Khadija is a world class server and wonderful person. Beautiful view of the Potomac. Location was part of George Washington's River Farm.

We attended a Rose Wine tasting and pairing evening this week at Cedar Knoll. It knocked our socks off especially the quality and thought that went into the food. The diversity and flavors were truly incredible. My husband and I are foodies and we are most taken when not only the food is delicious but that the personality, imagination, and attention to detail comes through in what a restaurant serves. There were 8 courses, way too much for one sitting but I took food home and everything was fabulous and held up well over the following two days. I couldn’t find fault in ANY of the dishes served. We had spiced ceviche, freshly made focaccia with bufala mozzarella and smoked prosciutto topped with basil and a lovely orange fennel chutney, and vetkoek with bultong, (a homemade beef jerky, the flavor of which was exquisite, maybe clove or nutmeg?) This South African food was perfectly paired with a SA rose. Then, there was a cured veal tenderloin that made your taste buds smile, grilled octopus together with gigante white bean vinaigrette salad, homemade chicken sausage wrapped in an crepe topped with a grape jam and chevre mousse, and very nice smoked trout salad served with Ossau Iraty Cheese, Fois Gras Pate and french baguette. Five different sweets, too. I can only speak to one of them -Meringon with Strawberries and Raspberries-the rest are still in my refrigerator to try this weekend. If you really appreciate the food experience and want to get to know the soul of the people preparing the food, you have to try this restaurant. I think this one is likely to become a favorite for us. We will be back soon. Thank you, Chef Andrew.

We've been to Cedar Knoll twice in the last month. Both times, we were delighted with the experience. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. Drinks were also quite good. Interesting cocktails, lots of local beer, wine and cider choices, and a very good wine list. Our server, Ian, was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Best of all, we sat out on the patio overlooking the Potomac River. The location is gorgeous. The interior of the restaurant also has a lovely ambiance. Looking forward to going back again when we want a special night out.

CedarKnoll was everything we expected. The inviting dining room so beautifully set for a delightful and tasty luncheon with old friends. The staff welcomed us with friendliness and served to make everyone happy and well-fed with a delicious meal while overlooking lush green lawn with a view of the Potomac River. Thank you!

I had an issue on Mother's Day. I reached out on their website to fix the issue and no one got in contact with me. Very frustrating.
Dieter
It was a wonderful experience!! Took a friend there for her birthday and they showed recognition as soon as we walked in!! Very pleasant staff

It's a charming little restaurant but on this night we waited more than 90 minutes for our meal. All of the meals were served like warm. The food was good but would've been so much better if it had been hot. Disappointed.

Went for an early dinner on Mother’s Day. Fixed menu. Took an hour to receive the main course. Our food was delivered 10 minutes after a table that was seated 20+ minutes after us. Waitress was observed chatting to a table for over 10 minutes. $268 for 2 adults and a toddler, which included 23% mandatory gratuity. Food was good, but not that good. Due to high price and lazy service, likely won’t be returning anytime soon.

Worst Mother's Day ever. Took almost an hour just to get drinks. When appetizers came, cold items were warm, warm items were cold. They didn't know what to do, several guests were angry and left. Unacceptable for almost 100 bucks a person.
My husband and I were married and had our reception at Cedar Knoll and we had an amazing wedding experience. The planning phase went smoothly and working with Andrew and Nathalia along with their staff was a wonderful experience. Our wedding was so beautiful and the food was delicious! I highly recommend Cedar Knoll for any event you may be planning.

Delicious Pizzas! In addition to the restaurant menu, they have delicious speciality pizzas for takeout. Yumm!

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.
