   Excellent cuisine. Great wine list. Decent service and ambience. Would definitely recommend for an upmarket high quality evening. Realistically $125 per head.

   This is a fabulous restaurant, especially for celebrating occasions, as we did - an anniversary dinner. The food is always wonderful, and all the staff are experienced and pleasant. I highly recommend C & O for a delightful dinner!

   My husband and I both had the lamb and it was delicious. The other couple that we were with had 2 different types of steak which they also said was perfect. We all said that this was the best restaurant that we have been to in a long time. Service by Megan was outstanding. The atmosphere of the restaurant is unique. We definitely will be back.

   One of the best meals we have ever had. The feel of the restaurant was special. We were, by chance, put at what was one of the best tables in the house - the rectangular four top tucked across from the bar. The decor is tavern meets speakeasy, with lots to look at and ask about. Our server Kevin was OUTSTANDING. Lovely, knowledgeable (about the food, wine and history), and had perfect timing. He was there when we needed him and not when we didn't. The food was spectacular. We were with friend so ate with abandon. We shared four appetizers - grilled beets with strawberries, goat cheese and candied walnuts. I didn't notice the grill on the beets and would have preferred smaller cuts, but it was delicious. The beef carpaccio with crispy homefries topped bitter greens (to cut the richness) was perfection. The scallops drove the entire table to applaud. We also had fried green tomatoes and burrata. How could it be bad? It wasn't, but was voted the least special of the four choices. For dinner we had the longest standing and most expensive item on the menu - the Steak Chinois, filet of beef, tamari-ginger pan sauce, gruyere-thyme potatoes. It was perfection and deemed absolutely worth it. We also had the halibut which was much lighter and equally delicious. Delicate, perfectly crisp on top and sitting on a delectable lemon sauce to die for. We never have dessert but one of our guests is gluten free so we decided to have the chocolate almond cake. That started the dessert train rolling, so we also went with the sticky toffee pudding. Both was met by rave reviews from all and deemed worth leaving feeling overly stuffed. The wine was fabulous and reasonably priced. We couldn't imagine a better ambiance and meal. The restaurant has four rooms. All very different in vibe and feel. We were invited by the staff to take a tour after dinner and would recommend asking for the bar room or the outdoor, but covered patio. The top floor is beautiful and good for a large group.

   James was attentive, friendly and took as much time as we needed to order. Also made an extra effort to show us a bottle of liquor we had not heard of. The food was delicious!

    Everything was delicious, from the bread and butter to the delightful first course (fresh pasta) and then the entrée! C&O knocked it out of the park with the duck. I need to mention the dessert: Fabulous frozen custard. Our server was spot on, attentive, and not overbearing. What a great way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. WE WILL BE BACK.
