    Celebrated birthday with sisters and father. We all enjoyed drinks and meals. We started with with crispy cauliflower appetizer. I ordered smoky grilled sandwich. The portion size was perfect. Finished off with warm gooey butter cake dessert. Highly recommend!

    Charming little spot right off Newport Blvd. It gives Gastro pub food vibes and delivers on interesting and tasty food. The onion rings are a star app to share🤩 The menu is eclectic and the service is friendly and memorable. Eat at Eat Chow!

    It's always a treat to dine here for brunch. The food is always scrumptious, well prepped and attractively presented. Our waitress was A++. The additional staff were attentive, professional and friendly. One day we'll dine for lunch or dinner but for now, brunch on the weekend is a real treat!
