    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.

    The ambiance was top tier and the service was impeccable! My friends and I enjoyed every bit of our time at this establishment. The cocktails were great and our food was delicious. Every question we had for our waiter he answered and he was very attentive to our requests. I give this place a 10/10

    I’ve said it several times before and I’ll say it again . This place is top tier . Please don’t switch the chef and pay them what they want ! The food here is good, filling , and CONSISTENT. The Oxtail Lasagna and Jerk Pasta are staples for us but that’s only because they are 20/10 while some of the other option s we also enjoyed are 19/10 and 18/10’s. Pricey but an enjoyable meal .

    Atmosphere was quaint and comfortable, our server was attentive offered suggestions and answered all our many questions regarding drink and entree selections. My only gripe is I ordered the Surf and Turf and requested my filet mignon medium , it came out medium rare. It was still tender and flavorable but would have preferred it cooked a whew bit longer, but in the big scheme of things that was minor it what was other wise a very enjoyable and tasetful dinner.

    Everything was 10/10. Thursdays is ladies night with martinis only $8. We got the salmon egg rolls, and calamari for appetizers and filets for our entrees. Blueberry lemon drops were amazing! We’ll definitely be back

    One of the better restaurants in the area no doubt. A bit pricey for the food but the food was good no doubt. Cocktails were great, staff was great, and the ambience was a 10. The food was good but compared to some other upscale locations, very pricey. Also, it says there is a dress code - not at all, not enforced, and kind of disappointing. Overall 4/5 and 100% worth a try!
