Such amazing treats for the palate!!!! We loved the french inspirated experience. We had a degustation menu, with small portions so we could taste so many different dishes in one same dinner. I loved everything! The staff ( especially the french person) was fantastic. The decoration was beautiful, with cozy private rooms for a nice group ambiance.

Came here to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Dishes are very well composed, balanced, and executed. Flavors are very much European inspired, but with nice inventive touches to keep things interesting! The squab dish was the highlight for me – perfectly mid-rare without being too gamey in flavor. My wife’s favorite was the octopus, served with a broth and pepper oil – fresh, bright flavors and texture had a nice bite.
Service was very warm, welcoming and attentive.
Very deserving of its 1 Michelin star, and is a prime example of that, even when compared with the more difficult European standards.

Had a chance to dine at Chez TJ last week. The charming Victorian House adds a distinct flair to this upscale dining experience. The newly acquired chef offered an exquisite array of dishes in the tasting menu. Will highly recommended the restaurant for a memorable meal. This was our second visit , we were very impressed again.

I really appreciate the effort that went into this restaurant. It’s a charming spot set in what feels like a converted family home with a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Each dish was beautifully presented and you can tell there was a lot of thought put into the details. That said, the flavors didn’t quite meet my expectations. While everything looked great, the taste was just okay for me. Still, I respect the heart and care they clearly put into the experience.

3 out of 7 courses were nice. Staff was friendly and warm. Service was ok like any other restaurant, nothing great. The place is a house converted to a restaurant, really cozy but need some light music/upgrades is what I felt. Overall it’s a good one time tryout restaurant. I expected more from a Michelin star restaurant.

A home-like style Michelin restaurant. Food on average is very good with specially designed mixtures of flavors. Smoked steak is the best! The smoked flavor is very good. It’s a nice place for celebration and they gave us a complimentary dessert for birthday.

We had an absolutely amazing dinner at Chez TJ. From the first bite of the Pear Panna Cotta with Kaluga Caviar to the final Lime & Coconut Ganache, every course was beautifully executed and inventive.
A massive standout of the evening was Ted, the sommelier and our server Jessie. They truly made the night for us. Not only is his knowledge of the wine list and the “Grand Wine Pairing” impeccable, but he is also incredibly funny and kind. He has a way of making high-end wine service feel approachable and genuinely fun, which really elevated the entire experience.
If you go, definitely lean on his expertise—you’ll be in great hands.

I recently visited Chez TJ and, unfortunately, my experience did not live up to expectations, especially considering the reputation of the restaurant. Upon arrival, the service was not what I’d expect from a fine dining establishment. No one offered to take our coats, and I had to point out and ask multiple times before they understood it should be taken. The lack of attentiveness continued as we waited a long time for our order to be taken, which was frustrating.
That being said, the food was quite good, and I particularly enjoyed the smoked quail—it was delicious. However, the overall atmosphere and service left much to be desired, and I don’t think I’ll be returning in the future. While the food was tasty, the experience wasn’t worth the lack of warmth and attentiveness in the service.

Superb!
We visited Chez TJ a few days ago for dinner and the whole experience was fantastic. We were treated to the seven course (plus multiples surprises from the kitchen) experience where you don’t get to see the menu beforehand but get surprised at every course. The staff carefully noted any dietary restrictions and went out of their way to accommodate my wife’s preferences (vegetarian but open to a few select types of fish). Every course was beautifully crafted with attention to the smallest details. Even the smallest addition to the plate was bursting with flavor. The kitchen really knows how to transform every ingredient and create wonderful and sometimes unexpected flavor combinations. A truly memorable meal! Service was fantastic throughout the 3+ hour experience and we will definitely come back for another dinner soon.
Highly recommended!
