"We enjoyed our dinner very much but had to wait a long time to get the bill. Two large groups were seated by us after we were about half done with our meal and our waitress became too busy at that point to tend to us. Prior to that she was wonderful."

"Food at this suburban restaurant is unsurpassed. The Lobster bisque was creamy, but not too thick. My Scallops were outstanding (my mouth is watering as I write this). Others had mushroom rissotto and raved about it! there are not many places you can go where spouses with different tastes can go and all be happy! Some might say Chiara is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for!!"

"5 stars across the board, service, food, ambiance, all delightful! We were a crazy table of shifting members from 5 to 70, folks stopping by to share a drink, some to have dinner. They cheerfully accommodated us and even got all the meals out together when they were not even all ordered together. Chiara is a fun restaurant with delicious and interesting food, a great atmosphere and all the staff is professional and personable!"

"We love this local restaurant. The owner works hard to provide great food and great service. Our food was delicious, but there was some confusion over our bill during restaurant week. The waitress was not quick to fix the problem."

"This was our first time, and we tried it out during Restaurant Week. We loved everything. We had to wait a few minutes in the bar (we were also early), and enjoyed a drink from their interesting menu. The restaurant week menu selections were great, and our server was spot on with her recommendations. Absolutely loved the bread and accompanying spinach/pesto type spread. Chef sent out a delicious amuse bouche with fig. Owner came by, very pleasant, server wrote down my wine upon request, even showed me the bottle and recommended a local place that sells it. We will definitely go back."

"The service is very good, the food is as always excellent and very well prepared, and comes to the table while it's still hot. From the time you walk in, until the time you leave, the attention to detail is above and beyond, right down to collecting your coat and getting the right one!"
