    We normally wouldn't have selected CPH because of the distance from home but made a reservation based on recommendations from friends that the drive would be worth it. It was a Friday evening and not too crowded. Cocktails, service, and food were excellent. I was thrilled to see the Cowboy Caio salad on the menu, which was one of my favorites when dining at Cowboy Caio in Scottsdale. Evidently the same chef re-created it and offered it on the menu at CPH. The drive was worth the experience. We will definitely be back.

    Had a nice brunch with friends. This place is cute, small, and has a nice balanced menu. Coffee was delicious and so was our food. I do need to revisit the menu and see how I messed up my dessert order. I thought I saw “lava cake” but it came out as a flourless chocolate cake which was cold. Still good, but I was expecting the hot lava cake. Haha. Probably my bad. Anyway, it was great and we would return!
