    I am pleased to say that C.R's has gone through changes and has resumed its place as a terrific spot for great food and drinks, We have been diners at C.R.'s for many years and can say that the new menu is the best we have seen in years. Our service was great as always and every part of our meal was thoughtfully presented and delicious. The Egg Nog Creme Brule was a particularly nice touch around the holidays. Go and and enjoy

    Big price for just regular food nothing to write honey about. Filet was very tough, cooked to perfection but not a melt in your mouth experience. Swordfish very over seasoned lost flavor of the fish. Potatoes had no flavor. Waitress and staff were lovely, pretty decor. Paid $200 for steak, swordfish, salad and a sangria. Went out there as a treat for Christmas with another couple and was disappointed, could have gone somewhere else for half the price and better quality

    We frequently dine at CR with family for some celebration or another. Our reservation was for 7:30 pm and as our table was not ready, we were offered “we could put tables together in the bar area,” but we declined as we were celebrating our daughter’s birthday. Instead, we were seated in the room adjoining the restaurant a few minutes later, completely devoid of charm (mainly harsh lighting). Our server was pleasant, but stated “I won’t tell you about specials because we ran out!” The moral of the story: for a better experience on a Saturday night in Hampton, one has to dine at 6 pm. Our meals were still enjoyable - it beats cooking at home! And our daughter loved the special dessert for her!

    Excellent lunch today. Everything, from the service, cocktails (martini's of course), appetizer (fried artichoke hearts), entree (pumpkin raviolis for wife, fried liver for me) followed by desert (cheese cake) was top shelf indeed! Will be returning very soon. And big thanks goes to our waiter Nolan for his very fine service and hospitality. And BTW, nice to lunch at a restaurant that has the class to use white table clothes.

    We had a wonderful business meal. The server and s staff were all excellent and attentive, the wine selection was extensive and well curated, while the meals were perfect. We each had different entrees and were delighted. Thank you CRs for standing out from the crowd and providing an exceptional dining experience. I'll be back!
