Our experience was great! Someone recommended the CCK to us so we decided to check it out. I wasn’t expecting it to be as nice as it was. I assumed it was going to be average and over priced. It was costly but worth it. The servers were attentive without hovering and the food was delicious. Definitely a dining experience and I would recommend.
