    Snacks and drinks are excellent always. Entrees are just sort of meh and way too salty (and i love salt).

    We had a reservation for 7:15 for 7 people. We are arrived at 7:00 and were seated by 7:15. We were there for over 2 hours. The server we had was wonderful, friendly and very nice. However, she was handling a very large area in the restaurant and we waited for long periods for her to come greet us, take drinks, order appetizers, order food, get the bill, pay the bill, etc. It would have been a great experience but it ended up being stressful and took way too long. It was also soooo dark we had to use the flashlights on our cell phones to see the menu and it was sooo dark in the restrooms we had to wait for our eyes to adjust.....it was very dark!

    I hosted a company holiday gathering, the manager and servers were very accommodating/attentive. TOP TIER SERVICE and the food was delicious! We loved everything we ordered (which was like 7 different sharables) with the exception of the nachos, we wished we had done chicken instead of the pork. A couple of us bought giftcards because we will DEFINITELY be back!!

    Love CD food and drinks and ambiance. Only took away 1 star because their old fashioned came with little ice cubes instead of one big cube. Makes a big difference in the quality of the drink.

    Service was nice. Food and drinks were bland with expectation of the nachos. I ordered two starters and 1 entree. I left hungry because 2/3 weren't even taking more than two bites. Definitely won't be back
