    oysters and shrimp - poor photography, my bad
    Curtis K.

    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!

I was lucky to snag the last outdoor patio table available as there were no reservations available when I looked earlier in the day. My server was friendly and helped me to select a delicious nebiollo wine to accompany my meal. The menu is all tapas, and three were plenty for one person. I ordered my favorite, jamon Iberico, chorizo, and the grilled broccoli. Out of all three items, the broccoli was the "star" of the meal! It had a hint of charcoal flavor from the grill, and was topped with caramelized shallots and sliced red chilis. The jamon Iberico was not the freshly sliced that I expected, but seemed to be the prepackaged version. I should've inquired in advance about the chorizo preparation. It was the dried chorizo, thinly sliced, not to cooked kind. Overall, my meal was good, but I would order different meat items if visiting in the future.

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

The inside dining area is more upscale than their more casual outdoor seating area. Upon arrival, the hostess wished me "happy birthday," but that was the only mention of it for the remainder of my visit. The menu includes raw bar items, hot shellfish appetizers, salads, bowls and wraps. However, their main feature is the "Naked Fish." This allows you to choose the type of fish, its preparation, and an accompanying sauce. I chose the branzino, grilled, and with salsa verde. The presentation was absolutely beautiful! The sear on the fish skin was perfectly crisp, the julienned vegetables were well-seasoned, and the sauce had a nice spiciness. Paired with a crisp white wine, it was a delicious dinner! The service was "adequate." The staff who brought bread and my meal to the table were friendlier and more attentive than my server. Perhaps she had too many tables to attend to, but she never asked me how my meal was, and only inquired if I wanted another glass of wine when I was ready for the check. Overall, I was very happy with my meal. However, I expected a little more attentiveness from my server, and perhaps an offer of something special for my birthday.
