Great service and pleasant ambience. Interesting menu but items we ordered were “ dressed” with too many ingredients. No need to keep adding to good basic foundation ingredients like lamb chops and strip steak.

Our waiter seemed to be very much on the ball however after several tables were served their entree and we had not yet had our appetizer we asked the waiter to please check on our meal, He said “Oh it will be coming out” a few more tables were served and then we finally received our appetizer. We had been the first table seated and one of the last served. The waiter never apologized. The food was excellent as has been our experience at CV .

We went for the Courtyard series and was moved indoors due to weather. I asked if we could be seated in the dining room with the band. They did just that and seated us in front of the stage! It was so nice! The food is always incredible and I got the pork chop for the first time. Don't overlook this dish - unexpectedly, incredibly delicious! Service is always too notch and the bartender made a perfect vodka martini. Can't wait to go back.

The restaurant is in a vintage house that has been beautifully restored. The decor is elegant and somewhat unique in that it includes brick walls. Our server was very pleasant and knowledgable about food and wine selections, with details about the preparation of food and ingredients used. Service was efficient but not rushed.
