Went for a first date. The place is small with approximately 25 chairs. I would recommend making an a reservation to ensure a seat. Great staff, ambiance, food, and wine choices.

We were seated promptly in the bar area for dinner. Service was great. Our orders were taken immediately. Two of us had fish specials and one had pasta. One of the fish dishes was a bit overdone but one was prepared well. Pasta was very good also. Our meals in general were tasty, with generous portions. Desserts were also great, I had mud pie and one had pear crisp. Only complaint world be acoustics of bar makes it distractingly noisy. Otherwise CC is still a great place to have a meal. Great job!

Breakfast buffet with Santa was the best yet this year. I think they simplified it. The cost was less and the menu was simple but everything was tasty (and GF!). My son loves it
