    Food and service were both great. Three of us split the Tomahawk Ribeye and had plenty of leftovers.

    Was not sure what to expect since we hadn't had the best experience under the previous logo. But C&C stepped up their game. The steak cuts were fantastic, although, could have used a little finishing salt. Which by the way, no salt or pepper is on the table; only by request. Restaurant was not overly crowded but the service was very slow. Perhaps low staffing, but either way, the meal was quite good and a great value. I highly recommend the steak board.

    We went for dinner on a Thursday night to celebrate my sons 16th birthday. We had a wonderful experience. Very friendly staff who went above and beyond to make our evening a good one. They even hand signed a birthday card for my son and gave it to us with the check. Such a special touch.

    We enjoy and appreciate good quality steaks... Cork and Cleaver definitely . We had the Signature Steak Board and it was YUMMY! Steaks were cooked to perfection, as ordered. Sides were tasty. Kevin, our server, was professional and very pleasant. The whole experience was amazing. Look forward to going again soon.

    The food choices were great, but the quality of the food was not. The oysters tasted very fishy as if they were old and the steak had no flavor.

    The service was very good... Our strip that was ordered medium rare was not cooked right (it was way overcooked)... they brought us another that was just right... seems to me that steaks cooked this badly should not happen in this type of restaurant... but they did make it right... Also the were no utensils to serve the family sides... we had to scoop the stuff onto our plates using our silverwear... we were a family of four so it was not a big deal... but it could be if you were with others... The food was good but not exceptional... the side dishes were not really large enough for a family size and were pretty standard fare...
