We had a good meal but putting 6 adults in a booth is just not thoughtful at all. I know it was done to give the server a table and he was a great server, but we hated the table!

My fiancé and I had the opportunity to be a part of Cooks & Soldiers’ 10 year anniversary celebration, and let me tell you that we were BEYOND IMPRESSED. There was a stellar tasting menu with generous portions, and service was TOP-NOTCH!!! A huge shoutout goes to WILLIAM (a former manager who’s now at a another location within the CHG but even made a guest appearance 🫨), JO (one of our go-to servers), DEJA (the general manager - my apologies if I misspelled your name), JOSH (another manager), the bartenders, the chef, and the rest of the Cooks & Soldiers team (both FOH and BOH). The hospitality/customer service and teamwork was impeccable, which was refreshing to witness. When I didn’t think it was possible, Cooks & Soldiers did it again, providing yet another unforgettable dining experience!!! Honestly though, I shouldn’t be surprised when this is the standard the CHG has set. Kudos to you all and keep up the great work!!! Here’s to future success and many more celebrations!!! Cheers!!! 🥂🎉🥳🤩

A fun lively restaurant with ample seating at the bar as well as nice setting tables. It was a Monday evening and the place was hopping. Our bartender was friendly, helpful with drink choices. Our tapas were outstanding! We really enjoyed the garlic shrimp, the Catalan Cannelloni and the ham croquettes.
