    We've been enjoying scrumptious meals and fabulous wines at CH for over 26 years and tonight's meal was next level. We ordered the Surf & Turf (1 with lobster, 1 with shrimp) and swooned over every bite! We were celebrating our anniversary and every employee who made contact with us wished us a Happy Anniversary, and our server, Nellie R, even brought us each a free glass of bubbly for a toast! We felt welcomed, special, and had a most wonderful dining experience. Nellie was busy but made sure we were well taken care of and offered great recommendations. I'm a Wine Club Member and took home several great selections, 2 new wine glasses, truffles, and several bottles of Christmas Red Spiced Wine for our daughter in upstate NY...her annual Christmas gift request. Love CH!! P.S. Our reservation was on a Tuesday, at 4:30pm, and both the restaurant and wine tasting area were very full...that says a lot about how customers love this place! Everyone was happy and having a great time!!

    This was a birthday celebration with my daughters. We started our evening with a cocktaill. I had the Old Fashion and one daughter had the Moscow Mule. The other daughter ordered the house Malbec. The drinks were expertly crafted. We continued by ordering two appetizers. We were a little disappointed that the saganaki was not flamed at the table. The bruschetta was served on a very tasty crostini. We then ordered our entrees. We each had the filet. The steaks were cooked to perfection and were so tender and moist. We shared a bottle of the Italian Cabarnet to accompany of meal. The chef treated us to the spinach filled phyllo. This was another perfectly prepared dish. For the birthday celebration one daughter had a piece of strawberry cheesecake and the other had the baklava cheesecake. Both were fantastic. The restaurant was busy but our service was good. The noise level from the bar area did increase noticeably as the evening progressed.
