    We had a great experience at TWO urban licks. The food was delicious, everything starter and main were right on. The Briskets are a must and the calamari and pork belly wraps are so good! Our waitress Morgan was awesome, she was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations and was very friendly. The staff were also on point. Our water was always being replenished and our table was always getting cleaned. We highly recommend and will be returning.

    My fiancé and I had the opportunity to be a part of Cooks & Soldiers’ 10 year anniversary celebration, and let me tell you that we were BEYOND IMPRESSED. There was a stellar tasting menu with generous portions, and service was TOP-NOTCH!!! A huge shoutout goes to WILLIAM (a former manager who’s now at a another location within the CHG but even made a guest appearance 🫨), JO (one of our go-to servers), DEJA (the general manager - my apologies if I misspelled your name), JOSH (another manager), the bartenders, the chef, and the rest of the Cooks & Soldiers team (both FOH and BOH). The hospitality/customer service and teamwork was impeccable, which was refreshing to witness. When I didn’t think it was possible, Cooks & Soldiers did it again, providing yet another unforgettable dining experience!!! Honestly though, I shouldn’t be surprised when this is the standard the CHG has set. Kudos to you all and keep up the great work!!! Here’s to future success and many more celebrations!!! Cheers!!! 🥂🎉🥳🤩
