I had the best birthday dinner at CDM restaurant. Food and service were outstanding. We'll be back very soon!

Excellent evening out, the food was very good, the service was beyond great, just a tad bit noisy, but overall a very pleasant evening.

My Filet was tought as leather I could hardly cut it and had a hard time chewing it. I have never experienced this with a filet at any restaurant. Tuna appetizer was out of this world delicious drinks are very good as well the service was outstanding. I will go there again but will pass on the filet.

Everything was amazing!! 10/10! Can't wait to come back! I hope they keep the seasonal sea bass on the menu and our waitress Abby was a queen

The ambiance is good; however, food taste needs a bit more punch to it... more seasoning would go a far way to heighten the flavor and tastiness of the meals. Good ambiance though!

Great experience for a New Year's Eve dinner but we were given champagne without asking for it and then charged $25 per person for the champagne, ended up costing another $100 that we didn't really want to pay for. Other than that, service was great and so was the food

So happy we celebrated our New Years Eve dinner at CDM. Excellent service and delicious food. Loved the warm patio ambiance.

Have eaten there many times in the past, but haven't been there in the last one year or so. The steak was not only expensive, which is expected, but no sear and almost flavorless for a ribeye! Feels like the quality of food and quality of ingredients has suffered

Service was not as good as the first night....waited in by multiple people vs a single server

By far one of the best meals we've had in a long time. Let's start with the BBQ carrots — I never knew carrots could taste this good. They've got a slight kick and come with an incredible sauce. It's a generous appetizer, definitely shareable. We ordered the Chicken Piccata with a side of Cacio e Pepe, and it was hands-down the best Chicken Piccata I've ever had. The chicken was perfectly cooked, tender and flavorful, and the caper sauce was out of this world. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. We'll absolutely be back.
One of our favorite places in OC. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful.

CDM restaurant is a favorite! Craft cocktails, wine, incredible, heirloom, carrots, fish, chicken, piccata, and steaks! And please try the dirty pasta!

Great place overall, but it's not really suitable for kids (just in case you're planning to bring them). It's perfect for a romantic date or a fancy party

Eating on the patio was terrific - quiet and peaceful. The indoor restaurant was extremely noisy so sit on the patio if you want to talk. Food was very good as was the service.

Great place to go for a special occasion. It ain't cheap, but service and food are excellent. Cocktail menu is varied, beer list is weak. We enjoyed our experience.
