I love dining at Chachama! It’s one of my favorite places to eat; however, the cologne that some of the servers wear affects my experience. Not only am I sensitive to smell, but I also have fragrance allergies. As a result, my eyes itch, and my chest tightens affecting my ability to breathe normally, just to name a few symptoms. Because of my sensitivity, I’ve always felt that there should be a universal rule for people in service to not wear fragrance or strong scents. Chachama is not a large restaurant, so multiple people wearing strong fragrances is sensory overload, and it negatively affects my experience.

We met with family for dinner and we had a fantastic evening. All entrees were prepared perfectly (filet mignon and short ribs). Calamari Appetizer was the best. No room for dessert. The only disappointment was that they were out of Heineken NA, and there was no alternative. The regular drinks were good. Service was outstanding and friendly.
