    Love this place In terms of the chain steak restaurants this is the very best. Eddie Vs is tied or a hair better if you want more non-steak items. The lighting was dim but could read. Comfy wood chairs. Music was subdued and not so loud. Service was was impressive and impeccable and high end. The food was amazing. Steak had a perfect char and was tender, and reminded me of the best steakhouses. The fries were thoughtfully prepared and nicely crisp.

    oysters and shrimp - poor photography, my bad

    this place works. *stamford is the city that works" is the double entendre and brand positioning against nyc and the same can be said about CG against the restaurant space. people may hate on a chain but my uncle keith was ahead of his time, in the vanguard for his fealty here. he's one of those players with his own wine cabinet. anyways i enjoyed th wagyu burger and wine fantastic value for $35 a beautiful california cab and literally a top five burger. the only buzzkill is this is limited edition and no more burger. poof! the happy hour remains and the shrimp was excellence plain and simple. oysters were just aight but i blame me for ordering them.

    Love this place! If you're looking for delicious and mouth watering steak, I'd recommend coming to CG. I loved it here! I was in the area and ended up here for dinner. I ordered the clam chowder, steak, potatoes and gelato. Everything I had was incredible. I'd highly recommend coming here for dinner! I can't wait to stop in here again.

    Medium steak and medium rare steak.

    The restaurant is beautiful. I got a medium filet mignon, it was spectacular. Our waiter was nice. My favorite part was the Flourless Espresso Chocolate Cake, it was delicious, I recommend that anyone who plans on ordering dessert to try it. I would definitely go again.

    We were so excited to eat all the delicious food that we dove right in and forgot to take more pictures. We've been coming here for years and it has never ever disappointed. The food is always on point in every way, presentation, preparation, flavor - always excellent. Our waiter, Mike was great. He explained the different cuts to my son who was looking to try something different. I always get the filet with bearnaise sauce on the side, we usually get the Brussels Sprouts but we decided to get the creamed spinach instead. We always order the lobster mac - which is to die for - and the truffle fries. It's our favorite special occasion spot.

    Came for the Porcini-Rubbed Bone-In Ribeye with 15-Year Aged Balsamic and it was amazing! Opted for the summer wine tasting - Generous pour - which is $45 per person and you get to sample 7 different wines. Got the Caesar with anchovies which was delicious. Our waiter provided excellent customer service!

    Service was inattentive, and our waiter repeatedly tried to upsell, which was tacky and not appreciated.

    Their Yelp profile says delivery is available, but I don't seem to see where/how?

    Is there any Vegan / Vegetarian options besides a salad? I know it's a Steakhouse so it's a long shot. I have a gift card and want to know if I'll be able to use it!

We got there and sat down immediately. Service was nothing special, but the waiter was pleasant. I ordered the lunch special smash burger, which was very tasty. I also ordered the calamari, which was slightly salty but had great flavor. The pizza was very good as well, but when it came to the dessert (cheesecake and chocolate gelato), they weren't that good and left a bad aftertaste. We asked our waiter if it could be taken off the menu, so he went to get the manager. The manager came to the table and explained why we should like the desserts and that no one complains since the chefs are from Brooklyn and the cheesecake is made in-house. He was very reluctant to take these items off the menu. Everyone has different palates, so why are you talking as if I'm supposed to like it since everyone else does? This didn't sit well with me, and the vibe was off from there. We liked the food, but it wasn't worth the hype around it. Our waiter was still pleasant through it all.

The space itself is clean and comfortable. It does lean a bit darker inside, but that seems to be part of the aesthetic they are going for. It gives the place a relaxed coffee shop vibe that works well if you want to sit, unwind, or get some work done. The coffee is solid. It is good, just not the best I have had. Still enjoyable and worth grabbing if you are stopping in. Their snack selection is where they shine a bit more. When the pastries are fresh they are really good. I have tried a few items like the banana loaf and lemon loaf and they have both been tasty and satisfying with a cup of coffee. Overall this is a great place if you are looking for a clean, generally quiet, and relaxing spot to enjoy a coffee and a sweet treat. I would definitely recommend stopping by.

They actually had a publication on the wall praising them for their high quality. Modern Love roasts their own beans. I bought a house blend and another bag of beans. I also had a Black Cold Brew and it was definitely well above average and balanced for a coffee shop cold brew. The shop is nice. Service was reasonably efficient. We arrived about 20 minutes before closing on Sunday during Memorial Day weekend, which seemed to make the one person working somewhat anxious because she presumably wanted to get her weekend going. I obviously get that, but she could have been a touch less obvious about it as her 5 minute warning was a bit intense. In any event, I would definitely return. 4.25 Stars

Then someone who was sitting at the bar came to give us menus and said to sit anywhere. We finally sat and a waitress named Gabby came took our orders. I ordered a Steak salad no mushrooms sweet potato fries and the person I was with got a hot oil pizza. Pretty easy. Well waitress brought out the pizza and I waited and waited and waited, no salad no fries. I asked the waitress where my salad was she said she was going to check on it, never happened she then went to tables and started to take orders. I was getting frustrated and my friends pizza was now cold as she was waiting for me. After waiting for about 10 mins I went to the bar and explained to the bartender and she went to check and came out with my food. Not once did the waitress come to check on us. My salad was suppose to have tomatoes which it did not. I flagged down the waitress and asked her and she said she would bring some right out once again I waited and waited by that time my friends pizza was soggy and she said it didn't even taste that great. As I waiting I was eating the sweet potato fries and ate some of the salad but it was literally just lettuce, onion, Gorgonzola and steak, I wanted those tomatoes. I asked her yet again and she said she would get them then attended to other tables so I just started to eat my salad. I was finished had my salad plate empty at the end of the table then FINALLY a gentleman brought out a plate of tomatoes I told him I didn't need them and I finished my food and he replied "she just told me" I told him I asked her for them 20 minutes ago. Very disappointed I did speak to the bartender and leave some feedback not sure if it made its way to whoever but I appreciate her helping
