David and Lesley pride their company on being family owned and operated, along with the help of their daughter Jessica, their son Jeremy and son-in law Mike. The Cohn’s make it a priority to be involved in all aspects of their restaurants. Their involvement is a direct reflection of the commitment they have to their Guests as well as to their Employees. With over 1,500 CRG Team Members, David and Lesley strive to create a positive work environment for their dedicated Team.
While each restaurant varies in terms of food and design, they all share the Cohn’s “obsession with hospitality.” Their philosophy focuses on superior service and aesthetic comfort, providing a premiere dining experience for each Guest.
“People celebrate their lives in restaurants. It is our job to create an experience worth remembering.”
– David Cohn

“Our aim is not simply to please our Guests, but to make them so happy that the last thing they say to themselves as they are leaving is ‘I cannot wait to come back.'”
