I came here for my bday dinner and had a great time!! Our waiter was K and he worked our table by himself and didn’t miss a beat. I did call about 2 weeks in advance to see if they would be able to accommodate a large party (15) and they were able to. My reservation was right when they opened around 4:30pm that way they had the rest of the night for their other guest. It’s a small restaurant so I didn’t mind coming early. I ordered the house salad, and lobster bisque for appetizer and the Surf N Turf for my main entrée. Everything was so flavorful!! Even everyone at my party said how good their food was. It’s a chill vibe the moment you walk in, they do have a bit of a dress code but it’s nothing too fancy and I like the fact that everyone has to be 18 and up to eat here. Will recommend this place to any and everyone, and I’ll definitely be coming back soon!

Come here for the aesthetic and nothing else. It’s a cozy little spot that focuses on looking cutesy and giving “vibes” more than providing good food. The drinks are overpriced and watered down. The food is overpriced and nothing to write home about. The garlic parmesan steak fries were mushy, almost undercooked, also overpriced for such a tiny portion. The oxtail lasagna was a personal pan size and gone in a few bites, also expensive and underwhelming for $47. If you love restaurants that only care about looking aesthetic and don’t mind paying a lot for mediocre food and drinks, then you will like it here. Automatic 20% gratuity added for a group of six or more. The only redeeming quality is that our server was very nice.

We LOVE this spot. Gives us a chance to do something grown and sexy. We met the chef on this visit and he was very impressive. Drinks were delicious, we had the special Valentine’s menu, we will definitely be back soon.

Quick shout out to Jason, who was our waiter, absolutely spectacular.
I believe I do a fair and honest non biased job, judging the places I go out to dine. Understanding that not everybody’s palate’s the same. With that being said, we all are human beings. We know when the food and the establishment is great or when it’s poor. This dining experience was poor. The music was annoying modern R&B with no real mix. Nat king king Cole played, and I thought great, finally some real dining music. But they went right back to pop/R&B. I mean, it’s Christmas, let’s get some Christmas music going, or how about some jazz. Anyway we were served our starters, I had popcorn shrimp. Which was literally heavily salty “popcorn” and shrimp mixed together, which was complete nonsense. The shrimp dip I was served was so very salty I could barely even deal
with it,
honestly it was treacherous. Looking at entrees, I ask about the lobster and come to find out. The majority of their seafood is frozen, yes frozen, yet they charge “premium” prices, which is nothing but a rip off and disrespect to the customers. Not to mention they force a 20% gratuity. Telling the diners, that you tip them regardless whether you like the service or not which is treacherous, what happened to earn your tip. So your going to take money out of my account and I don’t even know if the service is worth it or not. Anyway, we played it safe trying to avoid frozen and ordered a 6oz filet for “$40”. I mean $40 for 6oz fillet. I thinking 8oz filet for $40 but not 6. Which clearly was cooked completely wrong. We both ordered a medium rare and got a medium well. The broccolini was cold with gigantic undercooked stalks laid across my plate. Mashed potatoes that were more like a puree, very thin and flat. How in the world can you cook food like this, and charge the premium prices that you’re charging just baffles me. My steak looked and tasted frozen. I mean even my ice pepsi was flat with no fizz or bite to it, come on, make it make sense. I promise you skip this establishment. Any positive reviews are misleading. People read my reviews and they look at my pictures.
I have almost 3 million clicks from people reading my reviews, because I tell the “truth”. Forgot to mention, the seating was so uncomfortable. I’d rather have sat kindergarten style on the floor. They were having job interviews during dinner service near right near our table, who does that.
I will absolutely never go back to this underwhelming establishment. It was our anniversary when we chose this place. And it was a complete disappointment. Whoever the “chef” is. Has no idea what upscale dining is all about.

Chef’s Kitchen and Cocktails is a true hidden gem! We started with the lobster spring rolls crispy, flavorful, and paired with an amazing dipping sauce. For entrées, the whole fried snapper with plantains and seasoned rice was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented, and the Cajun shrimp pasta was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Every dish was fresh, well-seasoned, and plated with care.

The atmosphere is cozy yet upscale, and the service was warm and attentive from start to finish. This place delivers both on taste and presentation definitely a must-visit for a memorable night out!

Colby was a great server! They were able to accommodate us without a reservation! She was very attentive and we appreciated that. The food was soooo good. Beyond our expectations. Drinks were great and they even made a mocktail for my sister.

I give 2 stars, a ⭐️ for the great Ambiance & another ⭐️ for great service. I had to Subtract stars for the prices not matching the portions, being scared to order something I may not like because they are NOT going to refund or exchange. I also had to Subtract for automatic gratuity for each individual, and for the location being in a neighborhood w/ no designated parking.

This place definitely puts the “Chef” in Chefs Kitchen. Each and every little edible details was phenomenal. Toasted buttery toast, fresh crisp cesar salad, supple juicy steak, buttery mash potatoes and juicy broccolini. Beautiful decor and beautiful bartender Lauren, who provided a fine dinning experience. Overall wonderful spot cant wait to try their desserts. Only complaint is bar stools are small hard and uncomfortable, I ate quick to get out of there. Will be back!
