    What a fun surprise! Our first visit will not be our last… everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious. We ordered the summer salad which was great and the French omelette with mushrooms and cheese and it was so light and fresh. Will return soon!

    My friend and I met at culinary dropout for casual Thursday evening dinner. The food was super tasty, the service was excellent and we sat on the front patio outside so the music wasn’t too loud. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I would highly recommend CD for this kind of outing.

    It’s supposed to be a boil that I ordered but everything has a dry seasoning on the outside of shrimp shells. So once I peel the shrimp the seasoning and flavor is gone. I’m from New Orleans no where close to boil in my opinion. Not bad food just not what I was expecting thank goodness for dipping sauce. We had a large party and service was very good very attentive and patient with us including numerous rowdy kids!!
