Overall a good experience and brunch was lovely especially including extra goodies with the meals. The drinks were fantastic- only downfall was my steak frites (steak was tough and hard to the chew). Would still come again.

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.
