Lindsey was our server on Christmas Eve. Great service and lots of holiday cheer. Full house around 730/8pm. The cheeseburger is the only item I ever get from the menu. WORTH IT.

Our first time at C&S was fabulous! Our server, Dayvion, was attentive, knowledgeable of the menu and very helpful with allergy restrictions. The food was spectacular. All courses came out hot and delicious. Chargrilled oysters had a Cajun flare that was tasty and unique, scallops were cooked perfectly and the lobster Cobb had great flavor. We will definitely be back to try more menu items and will request Dayvion as our server!

Had a great time celebrating my birthday with friends. We had a 10 person table and our server did great. The donuts are all amazing, and everyone was happy with their food. I got the crab toast and thought it was just OK though. Not a ton of crab and very hard and messy to eat

Russel is always amazing to talk to and service is excellent. I am a fan of the Amaro drink. The pastas never disappoint and are some of the best in Midtown. Solid fish selections - we had Mahi this time and it was good. Plan to save room for dessert as they are always solid.
