    We chose this place for our anniversary dinner, and we’re glad we did! The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was outstanding. Our server was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. For our meal, we ordered the flatbread, burger, and lamb, and all three dishes were excellent. The flatbread was flavorful and perfectly prepared, and the lamb was the star of the night—my wife absolutely loved it. The burger, while cooked more on the well-done side than the medium we ordered, still had such great flavor that it made up for the doneness. We indulged in three desserts: the Tiramisu, Oreo Cheesecake, and Cremoso de Chocolate. This was the only part of the meal that didn’t fully shine. The Tiramisu was good overall, but there was so much cocoa powder on top that we both found ourselves coughing on the first bite—it required some strategic eating. The Oreo Cheesecake was the standout, though it didn’t have the traditional cheesecake consistency. The Cremoso de Chocolate was a bit underwhelming flavor-wise, but in fairness, it might just be meant to be more subtle. Overall, it was a fantastic evening with mostly excellent food, a few minor critiques, and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back for another special occasion!

    We had a good meal but putting 6 adults in a booth is just not thoughtful at all. I know it was done to give the server a table and he was a great server, but we hated the table!

    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!!! 🥂🎉🥳🤩
