    Very nice experience! The food was excellent. Emmanuel and the staff were very good, welcoming, friendly and appropriately attentive. (Not overbearing, but there when needed with excellent insight to the food and wine, and some interesting history on the location) This is definitely a top shelf experience and steak house. I highly recommend it for a great night out.

    We chose Chef's kitchen for our Valentine's dinner date. Entering the staff were all friendly and professional. The drinks were very good we had the Sangria and the Tom and Jerry, tasted like real creative drinks with delicious flavors, enjoyed every sip. we ordered the salmon rolls, party in your mouth, the seafood mac & cheese wasn't bad, but I prefer to keep crab meat out of my mac in the future. Also, for main we had the salmon with mashed sweet potato very tasty. My wife had the filet mignon with garlic mash and broccolini, filet mignon was very flavorful. Ambiance was beautiful and our server Colby was awesome, attentive and had great recommendations. we enjoyed the overall experience.

    My wife and I went in for Valentines Day and everything was on point! The service Lindsey provided was great and the food that was recommended was just as good. We had drinks, appetizers (the oysters and scallops were 10/10), entrees and dessert. This was our first time visiting but definitely will not be the last!
