Service was impeccable. Fried Haddock was perfectly crisped but the mushy peas underneath it were our favorite part of our dinner. Wonderful cocktails, too!

Had my birthday dinner there. It was a lovely cozy restaurant with waitresses speaking to each other and in French which made me feel like I was on holiday! The food and service were excellent! Big happy smiles on the servers and they sang happy birthday to me with the lovely boss. They gave me a small dessert on the house too. We booked a table for 3 online, and had the onion soup, mussels, beef bourguignon, duck confit, mushroom risotto and citron tart. I will definitely be visiting again to try their other dishes!

This was a ladies' catch-up lunch, and CC is perfectly located for us - plus you really can't go wrong with a Davys Winebar. We both had coffees, burgers and a glass of house red, all of which were just what we wanted/needed. I've been going to various Davys for years (even held my retirement dinner in one) and will continue to do so.
