    This is a beautiful and unique restaurant. It's an expansive space so you aren't sitting on top of other diners. The service was amazing, attentive and thoughtful. It's in a charming part of Gilbert where the overall vibe is fun and cool. Would definitely eat there again. Best strawberry lemonade I have ever had. A must try!

    I was disappointed with the fried chicken which was not very moist (even the drumstick and thigh). The mashed potatoes were topped with gravy that was an homage to KFC gravy, and wasn’t very good. Our appetizer salad was good. Service was excellent, although, our meal arrived while we were still eating our appetizer. Things should be timed better.

    The food and service was wonderful. The ambience was loud, so I would not recommend for an intimate setting when you want to meet a date or friend and talk about the universe or the meaning of life, lol 😆. Otherwise, the service was great, and the food was delicious!!! Definitely will be back again.

    I think CD’s continued success lies in its consistent performance. The food and service are always the same — always good. Two thumbs up to a management team that can not only build, but MAINTAIN, that level of consistency. (I could give you a long list of once top notch restaurants that have failed to do that!)
