I took family members to C M for Christmas Eve dinner. As always Oliver excelled in food and wine ambassador. His knowledge and style are top notch. Roland came over and spoke with the table occupants making it a truly enjoyable evening. Every time we go to C M, and it's close to 40 now it's an amazing experience in excellence.

The food was good and our waiter was exceptional. If I had to have one negative, which I hate to do it is that there were a lot of available tables and we were there were two of us and we were set less than a foot from a table with a family of 10 people and our chairs were almost touching and they were all of these other tables available, but we didn’t get moved But otherwise a nice afternoon.
