| - Very, VERY solid addition to Eastern Las Vegas. It's blowing up on yelp, and I can see why. First of all, if you haven't ever had a pasty, get over here. They are large pocket sandwiches stuffed with all kinds of ingredients. They are large and they are FILLING.
I had lunch at CPC on a Monday. The place wasn't crowded at all, but a couple of tables came in after I sat down. It has a nice combo of 2 top tables and large booths, plus about 16 seats at the bar. I had the meat and cheese, which is pork/sage sausage with swiss and cheddar cheeses. At $9.00, this is a great value considering the ingredients and size of the meal. The crust was buttery and flaky and browned perfectly. They clearly have the cooking of these things down. The pasty was full, no bite was without meat and cheese. The cheese was melty and the sausage was juicy. It was a winner without sauces, but they offer you sauces! I couldn't decide, so my server gave me both the cream mustard and the red wine gravy. I liked both, but the mustard was the winner. It was like a milder Dijon, and added so much to the sandwich. I think the gravy needed to reduce a bit more to make it thicker and cook out a little more of the red wine flavor.
I got the side of garlic mashed potatoes with cheddar cheese. I thought this was a normal sized side dish, and I was mistaken. It was easily enough for 2, probably 3. I liked the potatoes, they were as advertised: garlic, potatoes, and cheese. Simple and quality.
I got the wife the rosemary steak and oven fries to go. Fortunately, when she ate, I got bites of both dishes. The rosemary steak was again packed full of ingredients. I may be mistaken, but I think it was even larger than the one I ate, which was huge. The rosemary and potatoes make the pasty fantastic, it's basically a meal in and of itself. The oven fries were long and crisp, simply seasoned with salt and pepper. This is another large side dish, easily shareable. The dishes I took to go were hot and fresh when my wife ate, no loss of quality.
Overall, this is a cool joint. Friendly service, and the food was great. Good addition to Vegas.
