    Had an awesome Post Valentine’s Day lunch at C&S in Sandy Springs with my partner. I had visited this location once before years ago and it was my partner’s first visit. Everything was exceptional. We had no wait and were greeting soon after we were seated by our waiter. All of the wait staff was very attentive. We had the deviled eggs and chargrilled oysters for starters. Next time we would get more oysters and skip the deviled eggs. For our mains the red snapper, fried shrimp and the sides were top notch. We can’t wait to return.

    First, thank you to the whole staff - the ladies up front, the bartenders, the servers and bussers cleaning and clearing the tables. Everyone made our Valentine's Dinner awesome. The Fig bourbon is delicious. Trevor was a great waiter and was responsive to our table. 1st course - beef tartare for me and jumbo shrimp for my wife were great. 2nd course - she crab soup and the duck confit spinach salad were very tasty. Entrees - Salmon Oscar cooked beautifully as was my wife's broiled seafood platter. The mashed potatoes were very creamy and tasty. Dessert - the warm butter cake was delicious. Thank you again.
