Cedars Mediterranean Kitchen - Chicago

The negatives were that we had to wait 10 minutes for 1 of the entrees and the lamb chops were half fat.

I like the new menu but wish some of the originals were still there. I loved the salmon the way it used to be much better than the new version. I do however love the new soup and the accompanying arugala and sauce with falafal. The veggies were overcooked, that was very dissappointing...though undoubtedly the flavor was there. It just might have been the day and they have always been consistent, I hope this was just a one off.

Whenever we are in the area, we always make sure to dine at Cedars, even if it means taking a little detour to get there. It's definitely worth the drive! The food is authentic and delicious, with incredible flavors. We will definitely be returning!

My friend and I visited this restaurant before going to the DuSable Museum in Hyde Park. We both enjoyed fantastic soups (their lentil soup, which is their specialty, was wonderful and spicy) and delicious fresh salads. The restaurant is a great lunch spot in Hyde Park, with convenient free parking right in front of the door, as it's located in a small strip mall.

It might be helpful to inform the waiter about OpenTable, as they seemed unaware of the platform or my reservation. I had to request additional bread twice and ask another waitress to bring it. I also had to ask for extra water and my meal to be brought to me. I was confused as to why he was my assigned waiter, as he was frequently preoccupied with other tasks instead of attending to my daughter and me. The food was tasty, but the service was subpar and off-putting. I would consider returning to the restaurant without the same waiter.
