What a fun place for dinner and drinks. My party had Beef short ribs, lemon chicken and grilled fish. The bread plate and artichokes were great to wake up the palate.Everything was superb! It can be difficult to find a reservation, so plan ahead!

Great atmosphere and service. Food was mostly great. Only concern is the Bolognese dish was bland and overpriced. Drinks were excellent!

Place is very interesting, with an eclectic feel. Drinks are plentiful and the menu, as limited as it is, is very tasty and filling. Would recommend just for the atmosphere alone. Make sure to make a reservation or you won't get a table. Its that popular.

CW's Gin Joint remains our favorite place to dine, and we had friends who had not dined there before. They'll be back too. The menu stays updated with outstanding choices to make everyone happy each time we go. The cocktail selections are as outstanding as the menu items with knowledgeable waiters to help with suggestions. Looking forward to returning soon with sincere appreciation for phenomenal staff members.

Quest our waiter was great! He was very knowledgeable of all items on the menu. He made excellent recommendations and our evening was great! Food was excellent. Ambience was beautiful, relaxing and easy to have a conversation.

Let me preface this post by saying me and my buddy who I do not get to see often stopped by looking like schlubs trying to have one last cocktail before we parted ways. Just watched March madness game and the staff COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WELCOMING! Unreal. I thought for sure we didn’t look the part and a patron or two might’ve suggested the same but the staff and welcoming people at this establishment were phenomenal. I highly recommend this wonderful place

I had an incredible time at CW's Gin Joint on Saturday. Every employee we encountered was professional, friendly, and kind. My friend and I had a great seat at the end of the bar and enjoyed every minute there. We had such a great time at the bar while waiting for a table we cancelled the table. Was amazed at how well the staff worked together like a well oiled machine. Manager Roger was so charming. I have to commend our bartender Justin (who looks like he could be related to the NFL Kelce brothers). Justin is an amazing bartender and host. He was so kind and personable. His Peach Me Crazy drink was excellent I ordered two. Justin stole my heart when he brought out an incredibly delicious cake with a lit candle for my birthday celebration. I almost cried. Such a thoughtful man. The food was delicious and perfectly cooked. We had the octopus (amazing), fries, salad, and portobello fries...all yummy. The live music was wonderful and sounded sooo good. The band had me standing up and singing along by the end of our night. So sorry I didn't get the name of the band. I absolutely love the atmosphere in the Gin Joint and highly recommend it!! I will definitely be back next time I come to town. Thank you for a great night.

A HIDDEN GEM!!!! Have been trying to snag a reservation here for months and finally got one for the night before our wedding anniversary to celebrate. We loved it! Loved the drinks our waiter recommended, we even loved the gin ones but aren't typically gin drinkers. Loved the food, will be back and can't wait!

A must gooooooooo! Absolutely loved this place ...everything was great! Drinks, staff and OMG the food wow wow wow.... Definitely made the top 5 list.
This was our first time at this joint on a Wednesday night. Great ambiance with romantic lighting for a date night. We had the fried artichoke, charcuterie board, oysters, octopus, filet mignon and ribeye. The artichoke was a bit salty but good. Oysters and the octopus were awesome. Octopus was Perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. The steaks were okay, the filet mignon came over cooked the first time, but the waiter took it off the bill and brought a new one without us even asking so that was very nice. I just wasn’t a big fan of the demi glaze. Overall great spot with great vibes and service. I’d love to come here again and try more of the seafood.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Horrible experience. The manger Erin has no consideration… refused to handle a horrible situation. My friend was jumped in the restroom by 2 females. Erin the manger was aware of who it was but allowed them to continue to be in the facility. We called the police and he instructed his staff not to talk to the police and escorted the classless women out of the bar through a back entrance before the police came !!

absolute unprofessional environment management was careless after an assault happened in the bathroom. No consideration of the person who has assaulted, tried to lie and cover up to save face. Definitely don’t have your best interest at heart. Do not recommend this spot.

I regularly go to CW. The one time I need to reschedule because something came up. They refuse to let me reschedule or refund me my deposit. They said " normally we would but you just forgot. We would refund you if it was an emergency... If we refund you then we would have to refund everyone..." Hardly the service I would expect from a place like this.
absolute unprofessional and unsafe environment after being assaulted in the bathroom management team and security, blew it off and lied about the whole ordeal. After calling the cops and pressing charges not the best establishment do not have your best interest at heart ended up, sneaking out the people who assaulted a different door in lying to the cops. After charges were trying to be pressed with held information that they already knew, and refused to cooperate, very disheartening very disappointed
