The food was very good, and the server was excellent. However, everything ordered took a long time to be delivered - drinks and especially the food. The restaurant wasn’t over crowded, so it was confusing why it all took so long. The server apologized repeatedly, but she was at the mercy of the bar and kitchen.

Has a great time, the only concern I had was having only access to the rotating doors upon entry. Couldn’t get anyone to open the side door. My MIL is on oxygen and I help carry it and balance her so it was a very tight squeeze. Luckily when leaving the hostess let us use the side door. Other than that everything was perfect

Our second time eating at a CH and I’m so impressed. It has a huge menu which is often a problem but not here - everything we’ve had (in two different places) has been great and both time we had 6 people. I wish they’d continue expanding west into San Diego!!! It would be an instant hit.

Truly a great discovery! Cool atmosphere. Feels like you are in a high-end trendy city restaurant, but located in the suburbs. Food quality is spectacular! Service is excellent. Strongly recommend without reservation. A must try. We cannot wait to return for more!!!
