“We opened after Christmas last year,” Farrelly says. “The restaurant seats 80 and is a mix of upscale, casual, urban and relaxed.”

Menu items that showcase the two men’s culinary expertise include cold and hot small plates like beef carpaccio and curry mussels, sandwiches including the BLT and avocado wrap, large plates including grilled cedar salmon, and steaks and chops a la carte. Prices range from $4 to $28.

Cedar Street Grille also has areas for banquets and special events. “We have an addition to the building for the lounge and bar,” Farrelly says.

Looking into the near future, Farrelly adds, “We plan on having a beer dinner night and a steak night once a month.”

Cedar Street Grille is open Tuesday-Saturday for lunch 11:30am – 3pm and dinner 4:30pm-9pm (10pm on Fridays and Saturdays), Sundays 4:30pm – 10pm, closed Mondays. Gift certificates are available.
