    Service was prompt and very friendly. Calamari was delicious. Medium rare Filet Mignon was grilled perfectly.

    This was our second visit to the restaurant. We were immediately sat but it took at least 10 minutes to be greeted by our waiter. He proceeded to take and deliver our drink order but neglected to bring over wine glasses for another 10-15 minutes until we asked one of the busboys. Everyone's food was great, especially my filet which was out of this world. Overall, I good experience but it could have been great if our waiter was a little more attentive.

    We hosted our neighbor who had never been to the restaurant. He had the lamb and was very impressed. We enjoy the proximity to our Willow Glen home and partake on special occasions.

    Nice ambiance inside, but very loud. Food is just ok. Server was trying but wasn't able to answer questions about the menu. The food was ok, but nothing I'd want to order again. This is my 2nd time here - first time was about 10 years ago and I think I felt about the same. I guess this place isn't really for me, sorry :(

    DCG is one of our favorite restuarants because, simply, the food is delicious, the service is very good, and the ambiance is always relaxed.

    Very poorly staffed. There was one very overworked waiter for about 30-40 people in one section.
