    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!

    Excellent food, service, and experience! Enjoyed the most amazing ribeye steak, cooked to perfection. We had the opportunity to share several menu items, and all were amazing! Our servers and bartender were knowledgeable about the menu items and made the perfect dinner and drink recommendations for all of us. The chef also made it a point to meet with us and ask us about experience. I highly recommend Griffin’s for casual dining and any special occasion!

    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!!
