We had a great night at C&J's. Started with a nice cocktail in the bar, love Brandon's Old Fashion....with a great meal to follow (and more beverages :)). Service was outstanding. Simply A+ night.

Carlo & Johnny always an awesome experience, steaks and lobster tail were outstanding as was the salad! The service was also top notch and had a very satisfying time with guest we had visiting from out of town. We will always be a Jeff Ruby Restaurant fan! We recommend any of their locations but the Carlo & Johnny location is our favorite.
