    The food was delicious. We had a great server. I loved my salad. It had beets and walnuts, and the nuts were extremely fresh. My sister is a vegetarian, and the server suggested a pasta with cheese, looked like spaghetti. It was so delicious. I tried a little bit of it. We also had an almond cake that was very good with bourbon maple gelato. Tasted kind of boozy we loved it ha ha ha.

    We had a wonderful Day After Christmas dinner at the CG. It was a little less busy than usual, but the staff was wonderful and the food was excellent as usual. The restaurant is a little formal looking when you enter, but the feeling is warm and comfortable. Great place for a couple or a family - as in this case for us.
