    The grilled oysters were so delicious I considered canceling my meal and getting more oysters, but I am glad I didn’t. The red snapper was incredible. Service was worthy of high praise. And so important…no fishy smell… So I knew everything was fresh. I definitely recommend C & S!

    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

    H&F, just might be my new favorite restaurant in Atlanta! This cozy, comfortable pub house style restaurant is tucked into the heart of Midtown. Food was incredible- they own the right to say “house-made”…try their pickles! OMG! I wanted a jar of them to go! Service was impeccable. Thank you Brandon for a wonderful experience- we will be back! Fish-n-Chips were phenomenal and one bite of their cheeseburger and you instantly know why it has been voted No. 1 for so many years!! Cocktails made the evening conversation, fun and Tasty!! Do yourself a treat…book a lunch or dinner and enjoy it as much as we did!

    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.
