  C&P is one of the those spots that when you discover it, you can't help but want to come back anytime you're in the vicinity!
  
  The place is located in a beautiful 150 year old house on a bluff overlooking the mighty Mississippi. Upstairs is a lovely art gallery and some even better looks at the river.
  
  You enter through the front and make your way into a couple dining rooms or what used to be the kitchen. All rooms include the original floors and much of the original decor. A couple huge mirrors and fireplaces really accent things nicely.
  
  The food here is excellent! The choices include a number of salads, plenty of sandwiches and a couple dinner type item. We had the Welsh Rarebit as an appetizer - two cheeses, some Blue Moon and a delicious brown mustard - served with grilled bread, it was divine! We shared some chicken and dumpling soup. Very nice broth and really good, simple flavors. The meatloaf sandwich, with 3 toppings of your choice (Get the Bourbon BBQ sauce) was also a delight. We were going to sample dessert as it's been great in the past, but the kiddos were getting restless and alas, no sugar carbs for us!
  
  Entrees for lunch run in the $10-15 range and they've got a nice drink menu as well.
  
  A wonderful spot to check out and a one that's seriously worth considering making the drive to...especially on a nice night or day!
