Love the design for CDB and how cozy and uplifting it is as the same time. Food is wonderful and service is gracious. Would love it more if they would turn down the music a bit.

The service is always impeccable whether you sit at the bar or dying at a table. It's a small but charming place with good food options and a great wine selection. They offer many other drink choices that are sure to please as well. 😊

When restaurant staff remember your names, you got to love it. That is what we experience when we dine at CDM -- personal attention. We especially love the 4:30 to 6:00 Happy Hour Specials, lower prices for cocktails, wine, and their specials. We can always count on good food, drinks and server. CDM is a local GEM!
