Met with gal pals for Christmas Eve. We arrived early but hostess seated us. Very nice server who tea knew the menu. Gladly spilt checks. We enjoyed all of the tapas. Big glass of fruity Sangria. Only negative is the lighting is dim despite lamps on tables, Bring your reading glasses. Noise level is medium. Free Valet parking nearby.

As ALWAYS, our server, JO, provided yet another OUTSTANDING dining experience. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. The food was equally incredible; the revamped lavender crème brûlée is a game-changer. 🤩 The moment that solidified my fondness for this place is when my sister (the other guest dining with me) noticed the attentiveness and teamwork practiced amongst the staff both FOH and BOH. In addition to our server and support staff, Deja (the GM) also visited our table, offering to assist us with anything we needed. Nowadays, with the overabundance of “cash grabs” in the city that lack substance and fail to grasp the fundamentals of hospitality, the top-notch dining experience provided at Cooks and Soldiers is so refreshing. Please keep up the great work!!! 👏🏾

All of the tapas we ordered was excellent!!! The chef’s charcuterie board- phenomenal. We had both cold octopus salad & grilled octopus over corn puree!!!! Both were outstanding! The steak with mushroom foam!!! I will dream about this dish. Tuna tartare & squash soup are so so yummy! Our server, Christina, so sweet & fantastic! Drinks were great. I gave a lower score on ambience due to the fact their HVAC as malfunctioning & it was cold in the restaurant. Definitely returning for more!!!
