Went to CB last night with another couple. Here is the short list of issues: 1. Small wine pour 2. Inattentive waiter 3. Terrible bread (the "Italian" looked and tasted like "Wonder Bread" 4.

It turned out to be the perfect choice for me; both the food and service were terrific. And the selections of "wine by the glass" were broad enough... more
