    We took some out-of-town friends to C&S and they were blown away. The cod dish currently on the menu is one of the best entrees I've had a in a long time.

    Not as good as it used to be. The noise level was at a point where the waiter could not hear us at some points. The first drink order was forgotten entirely. The hamachi collar was more bone/fried skin than edible. The crude was very good. The cod was good but the fried coating was overcooked and actually hard to chew. The bavette was overly fatty but the broccolini and jus were great. The biscuits were great. The Guinness cake was very nice. At this price point it is somewhat disappointing.
