    We've been coming here for years. The food is consistently delicious. Even when they change up the menu. I love the small space. Feels like you're dining in your grandmas dining room. So cozy. The staff is attentive and goes above and beyond.

    A first time diner and the food, service and overall vibe was exquisite. Gabriel was our server and he was knowledgeable and attentive. They had the Christmas decor up and we literally cleared out plates. Apps, main course and dessert were excellent.

    Tried CP’s $32 brunch, well worth it. Sat outdoors, service was quick & polite. I did the Eggs Benedict & unlimited sangria - two pitchers and the staff refilled immediately. Nice sitting outdoors on Bleecker St just before winter ends that joy again! Recommended.
