    We frequently dine at CR with family for some celebration or another. Our reservation was for 7:30 pm and as our table was not ready, we were offered “we could put tables together in the bar area,” but we declined as we were celebrating our daughter’s birthday. Instead, we were seated in the room adjoining the restaurant a few minutes later, completely devoid of charm (mainly harsh lighting). Our server was pleasant, but stated “I won’t tell you about specials because we ran out!” The moral of the story: for a better experience on a Saturday night in Hampton, one has to dine at 6 pm. Our meals were still enjoyable - it beats cooking at home! And our daughter loved the special dessert for her!

    Excellent lunch today. Everything, from the service, cocktails (martini's of course), appetizer (fried artichoke hearts), entree (pumpkin raviolis for wife, fried liver for me) followed by desert (cheese cake) was top shelf indeed! Will be returning very soon. And big thanks goes to our waiter Nolan for his very fine service and hospitality. And BTW, nice to lunch at a restaurant that has the class to use white table clothes.

    We had a wonderful business meal. The server and s staff were all excellent and attentive, the wine selection was extensive and well curated, while the meals were perfect. We each had different entrees and were delighted. Thank you CRs for standing out from the crowd and providing an exceptional dining experience. I'll be back!

    Not as good as in the past unfortunately. We love the ambience of the restaurant (its best feature) and the ease of parking but the food was only fair and that's being nice. The salmon was overcooked and the pork milanese was over breaded and over fried. It really was not like any milanese I've ever had or made. I thought the beet salad could use a few pieces of lettuce - just beets alone doesn't do it for me. So it will be hard for me to ever get my husband to go back.

    Another wonderful dining experience at CR’s. Christmas decorations were abundant and tasteful. Both of us had the pork chops and they were tender, hot, and delicious. Our server was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Thanks CR’s!! Merry Christmas to all the staff.

    Six of us enjoyed a delicious lunch with adult beverages and dessert. Our server Nolan was exceptional, very engaging, with a true sense of serving us in a timely and professional manner. Our meals were well prepared, delivered timely and delicious. The ambience was very good and a delightful experience for us all.
