    The service was unlike any other. Out waiter was on the spot. Food was quickly prepared. I had a 14 oz ribeye but I would argue with anyone that I was shorted several ounces. As well as the steak was dry and bland. It truely had no flavor. Sadly I’ve had better steak at Applebee’s. My spouse had fried flounder. it was done 100% perfect.

    We originally had reservations at 5, but was in Greenville earlier than expected. So we asked if we could be seated earlier. An hour earlier. We got seated right away and our first wedding anniversary dinner was amazing. Thank you very much.

    Thank you to our server, the hostess and the manager on duty for accommodating our larger than expected party by moving us to a larger table. They all did it with a smile and gracious attitude. And then, when some of the extra people didn’t show up, they were still extremely nice and understanding. I haven’t been to CD in a long time but this kind of service makes me want to come back soon. Thank you!

    This was our first time here and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was very good and came out quickly. Our only knock was our server seemed overwhelmed and waited on tables sat sat after us before us. To me this is not okay. I was a server for years. It really rubs customers wrong when you do that. When we asked for something it took a very long time to get. Like we asked for ketchup for fries. By the time it came we were done with the fries. I honestly thought she had forgot so we ate them because they were getting cold. Will try them again because the food was very good.

    The ambience was great. The service was really slow. It took a long time for the server to get our order and to resolve an issue that we had I order a steak. It was a little too charcoal on the outside, but the cocktails are always great. I would rather sit at the bar next time I go because this is one of my favorite places, but the service they have is not as great as they used to be

    We went on the evening of Dec 31st and while it was packed we were able to find a spot in the bar while we waited for our table. Our servers were both engaging and provided excellent service. Our food was awesome. While the table we were ultimately to be seated at would not be our first choice the pleasant attitude of the server made the difference. We enjoyed our experience.

    The salad was terrific, and my steak was cooked perfectly. We had reservations and only had to wait a short time. We will be back again soon.
