I cannot remember the lady manager working on 12/23 at 4:30, but absolutely amazing. She was exceptional and very attentive to the patrons of the restaurant. Inessa and the server assistant were phenomenal. It was my first time visiting but I will definitely be back because their customer service was excellent!!!

I’ve been to a CD location in Tempe many times, but first time visiting this location in CLT. The service from Josh was wonderful and the food was just as good as my visits in Tempe. Parking validation is a nice plus for the area too.

We had a great time! My husband and I were going with our newborn and the restaurant was SO accommodating. They messaged me immediately about where we could put our newborn carrier. Then they called day of to make sure we were all set to bring our baby. When we got there, everyone was so nice and made sure that we were comfortable! The food was great. Overall good experience.
