It is with deep sadness that we have had to close Cedar's 

Mediterranean & Italian Grill due to the passing

of our Beloved Chef & Owner, my husband of almost 35 years, Khalil Younes on January 11, 2024.


I know Khalil has touched the lives of so many of you for the 20 years we have lived in Bastrop. 

Our family is so appreciative of every one of you, and the amazing amount of support

and love you have shown us.  


GIFT CERTIFICATES

If you have an active (not expired) unused Gift Certificate for Cedar's Mediterranean and Italian Grill,

please message us with your name, phone number, email, and a picture of the gift certificate,

so we can get back to you for refunding it.   We will require the original certificate to be mailed

back to us, or we will setup a day/time to meetup with you at the restaurant. 


We have leased the restaurant to a family that does seafood 

boil type food.  They also have a location in Victoria, TX. 

 I look forward to making the official announcement and update of new opening once the tenant allows us to 

release this information!  We hope you’ll join us in

welcoming them to our community.


Thank you so so much,

Tracey & Samir Younes
