    First time at this restaurant. Great for a night out or special occasion. We went on a Friday evening when it was busy. Ordered the Steakhouse platter to share. We requested medium cooked steaks all around. They were all done med/rare. We did not return them but brought the more rare pieces home to re heat on the grill. Flavors were delicious on all of the cuts. Side portions were small especially since we were sharing but were tasty. Our server was very friendly but didn't pay attention to the specifics of our orders. I requested no croutons on my salad and my companion requested no cheese on his potatoes. Both items came with the extras we did not want. Overall a very nice dining experience. We will go back

    Incredibly well prepared and seasoned steaks. The staff were very friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I am a big fan of old jazz, swing/big band music, so I even loved the background music. My only niggle is that they charge a higher price if you use a card than if you pay with cash. At their prices, asking patrons to carry that much cash is unreasonable.

    Food and service were both great. Three of us split the Tomahawk Ribeye and had plenty of leftovers.

    Was not sure what to expect since we hadn't had the best experience under the previous logo. But C&C stepped up their game. The steak cuts were fantastic, although, could have used a little finishing salt. Which by the way, no salt or pepper is on the table; only by request. Restaurant was not overly crowded but the service was very slow. Perhaps low staffing, but either way, the meal was quite good and a great value. I highly recommend the steak board.
