    First time getting the dirty pasta! Danielle was our server and she always does a good job taking care of us. We also got the hummus as a starter with the fresh pita bread on the side. That was also very delicious. Drinks are always on point too. Love CDM

    Server was very nice and the seating outside was well done with heaters and intimate lighting. Ordered the house rolls, octopus, cacio e pepe, and dirty pasta. The octopus dish was phenomenal and the rolls were perfect. Both pastas were undercooked which took away from our experience. Also ordered two drinks, the them apples and an orange whiskey sour which had great flavor and presentation. Forgot the name of our server but she diffused a heated interaction with a customer who was very upset. Great customer service shown and would come back just to be served by her.

    What a treat! Celebrating my son's birthday at CdM Restaurant proved to be a great idea. We were greeted, shown to our table and presented with menus that had Happy Birthday as the headline! Service was impeccable, our choices were delivered to the appropriate person without asking (one of my pet peeves), the table cleaned between each course, all the while ensuring we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious! From The Burger to the Ahi Tuna Salad, the Dirty Pasta...I find myself wondering when we can return so I can try something else off the menu that I'm sure will be equally as amazing. And to top it all off, when the birthday treat (yummy ice cream) was delivered, there was a card signed by the entire staff! Who does that??? CdM Restaurant deserves all the high praise...and then some! Do yourself a favor and book now...you won't be disappointed!!

    Went for a friends birthday on industry night. The service was impeccable (including them printing, happy birthday on the menu) everything we had was delicious end carrots, tuna, meat and cheese board, ribeye, fillet, and chicken piccata. Next time I would actually eat outside. It’s so nice.
