by Clara Mathews on November 2, 2011

Corporate Concierge, Inc members enjoyed a wonderful lunch at The Cedars Social, the retro-cool restaurant and cocktail lounge on South Lamar. With the 1960′s decor, handcrafted cocktails and modern comfort food by award-winning Chef John Tesar, you feel as though Don Draper and Roger Sterling of AMC’s Mad Men might walk through the door at any minute.

Take a seat at the bar and try one of the handcrafted drinks like the Turf Cocktail no.3, made with gin, absinthe and Booker’s Bitters, The Social Market or the Shakedown Highball.

Lunch and dinner items include a nice selection of soups, salads and sandwiches, as well as entrees like Pulled Short Ribs Tacos, Spicy Wings and Short Rib Sliders and desserts include Buttermilk Pie, Sweet Potato Pie and Chocolate Brioche Bread Pudding just like Grandma used to make.
