Great place to eat!!!!! The owner and staff are extremely friendly. The food was amazing. I highly recommend doing by for lunch or dinner. Even stop by have a drink at the bar and gamble a little, clean and inviting. You won’t be disappointed!!
Ps. I had to take a picture of the Dorothy picture on the wall. Be sure to check it out when you come by.

UPDATE: In response to the owners comment.
NO ONE at our table spoke horribly to ANYONE. We talked amongst ourselves about our ongoing experience, but NEVER spoke rudely to ANYONE. I did at one point say in response to a comment made by another family member this “I was worried about us not being here right at 6:30 for our reservation because I was afraid we would put them behind. BUT here we are getting our food at 8:00 and hour and a half after we got here.”
Apparently she walked into the room while I was saying that. It wasn’t directed at her and it wasn’t said in a mean tone. I was stating a fact. She did reply I am sorry I am by myself tonight. I just didn’t respond.
We were so excited to try this restaurant. We saw the great reviews, but our experience wasn’t a good one.
We had a 6:30 pm reservation for 11 people. The service was slow from the start. It took awhile to get our drinks, the drinks weren’t filled for awhile. She did finally bring us a pitcher of water and unsweetened tea so we could fill our own drinks. Our appetizers were delicious!! We had the mushrooms, nachos and bruschetta. The side salads were tiny, but they said they tasted good. The first few dinner plates got to the table about 7:30-7:45. Part of our party was almost finished eating by the time the last 4 of us got our meals at 8:00. An hour and a half after we got there. The 8oz filet my brother in law ordered looked like a flat 4-6oz steak. It was tiny (see pictures).
We were extremely disappointed. The person who was serving us said she was alone, having to bartend and wait tables. I am not sure how many people were in the bar, but she didn’t check on us at all. She wasn’t friendly at all either. The table behind us (2 people ) came in after us and were out before we ever got our meals. Not sure if they ate dinner or just had drinks and appetizers.
We were told this is a reservation only place. If you know you have a party of 10 coming in along with other tables then you should be prepared with a bartender and a server. At least 1 person for each room instead of 1 person trying to take care of 2 rooms and a bar.
Gratuity was still added to our bill even though the service wasn’t good at all. I was a server for many years and there is zero chance I would have added gratuity to the checks knowing I didn’t give service that deserved an $80+ tip. Our combined bills were close to $500 and it was not at all a $500 experience. I do not recommend this restaurant for large groups. As a group we have all agreed we will never go back and we will never recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank goodness we are a happy fun family and enjoyed ourselves in spite of the disappointing experience.

I highly recommend this restaurant. It has an wonderful menu with a variety of delicious choices. We saw a group of old high school friends enjoying lunch there. We also saw friends exchanging Christmas gifts. My mom had a hamburger, perfectly cooked, and parmasean pita chips. I had cheese ravioli with little Italian meatballs in an excellent tasting marinera sauce. We also ordered a side of mac & cheese to take home, it tastes amazing !!! The waitress was so sweet !

The food is very unique for the area. It was high end taste at not high end prices. I had the nachos, which were so big and amazing. The chips are a garlic parmesan chip and really add a depth of flavor to the entire dish. My girlfriend had a steak sandwich that I tried as well with the Mac N Cheese and they were all cooked to perfection and so good and flavorful. The bread was crispy on the outside with a very soft and airy inside that complimented the steak very well. Highly recommend for all occasions.

The Untamed Chef is a fantastic restaurant. It’s menu is unique and a welcome break from the ordinary menus of other places. Instead of fries they serve house made seasoned chips. They are great for dips but equally satisfying alone. You must try anything that has the bacon jam. The gourmet burgers are heaven on a bun. Cooked and seasoned to perfection. Flavor is major in all that I have tried.
Keep in mind that The Untamed Chef not only offers a phenomenal in house and take out menu, they give us options for take and bake items for an even fresher than take away meal at home. This restaurant even has mixology classes at the bar. They hold private events and do catering. The Untamed Chef is a restaurant that is unforgettable. You will be sure to go back.

Dining in is always a great experience! In addition to spectacular food, it can be modified for your taste. Today I had a 1/2 salad and cup of Lasagna Soup the salad was great but the soup was amazing. I will be picking up a bowl for dinner one night soon. I have had carry out numerous times, as well, and it never disappoints!
