Neighborhood French-inspired bistro featuring an ever-changing French-Fusion menu that keeps you coming back to try the things you didn’t have room for.
Marianne’s organic garden helps supply Warren’s kitchen with his beloved fresh produce & both are actively involved in the local food movement.
The ambiance is fusion as well - bistro style rather than “fine dining” - that is at once classic French and comfortable with an open kitchen so foodies can watch the work in progress. Art work is a mix of Mucha prints and Warren’s photography. Music is quirky.
Nightly wine by the glass specials, carefully curated wine list and a delightful cocktail menu round out drinks offerings.
Neither high chairs nor booster seats are available.
Reservations are for a two hour time period.
Classic Parisian style sidewalk seating available.
Warren and his wife Marianne have spent the last twenty-five years delighting diners with their worldly cuisine & genuine hospitality.

Our first time dining at Chef Warrens and we will be back! Menu had a great variety- we enjoyed the lobster wantons for an appetizer, both had the special of steak medallions, and even had a great apple pie sort of dish for dessert, which we typically don’t do dessert. Food was great quality and had its own personal touches, making it an experience unlike the ordinary traditional dishes. The restaurants itself is a great setting, family owned and felt very personalized. The owner and his wife take the time to chat with each guest and make a memorable experience. We were very impressed with the overall attention to detail and service… something hard to find on a Friday night in a busy restaurant. Highly recommended!!

We all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the waitstaff was very good, quite knowledgeable. Had a couple of questions prior to ordering which were quickly addressed and we selected our choices. Our daughter was visiting from Philadelphia and I was never able to get a reservation to show her we too have fine restaurants. This time I had enough notice to reserve early. We added a dear friend to make four and it was a perfect evening. Looking forward to a return visit.

Our second visit to Chef Warren's was much the same as the first, a bit disappointed that the food did not live up to the advance billing/potential of the restaurant. The lobster Rangoon appetizer was quite ordinary and the mussels were very overcooked. The service was fine and the wine list good, if limited.
Chef Warren'sResponded on October 24, 2023
Hi, On the mussels, if you had said something at the time, something could have been done. On the Rangoons, I will check to insure that they are being prepped as I'd like them to be. Thanks for the observation! Was there something missing on our wine list? Warren

Our server (Daphne) was excellent. Full command of the menu and was able to answer all of our questions without hesitation. The duck entree was superb and we would definitely order it again. Appetizers were well done and we finished up the evening with a free cake as part of our annual celebration. Very nice touch.

I don’t think anyone would be disappointed here- the food seems reliably great, the wait staff is exceptional , the wine list divine, especially the specials! truly admirable. Open kitchen is a great idea -but in fact, it is the rare charismatic chef that can pull it off and it’s really not fair to them; having worked as a sous chef myself, we need our privacy to rant and rave and play pots and pans as music under duress and curse with stress, and howl out with success.

An absolutely delightful atmosphere. If you’d like to be transported to a European venue, this is the only place in the area that can deliver. The food was superb and the team was infectious. Emily’s Bees Knees was the Bees Knees. I hope you enjoy your meal with Chef. It is just what you deserve.

We ordered a swordfish with pork belly and corn. What we got was a VERY small piece of over cooked swordfish , not the entire steak like usual. A huge chunk of pork fat. And corn that was horizontally cut in a way that made it really tough to eat. A waste of money. Looked nice, ate cheap

Emily was a great server with a wicked smart sense of humor who made great suggestions for cocktails. Her specialty cocktail with bourbon, Benedictine, and chocolate bitters was delicious!! "Campari wishes it was in my drink" comment from Emily was awesome! Kudos to the culinary team on the special which was the NY ribeye; the duck was amazing as always. The escargot was on point and the French onion soup was exceptional! Our group of 8 had two chefs from Augusta National Golf Club who have very discerning palates, as well as other foodservice personnel who were so impressed with the food, the service and entire evening. They want to come back again on their next visit without a doubt. Thank you to Chef Warren, Emily and the entire staff for making our evening so wonderful!

Chef Warren’s has become our restaurant to go to when celebrating by ourselves or another couple. The service is always warm and prepared. The food is excellent and interesting. The Cheese Board appetizer is fun for 4 to share. Ambience is a word that has become a little over used, but it is what Chef Warren’s is all about.

We dined here for our anniversary. This is a perfect place to celebrate. We started with steamed mussels which were delicious. Then we had 2 different daily specials. They were shrimp and scallops with risotto along with a lamb trio. Lamb trio was tenderloin, chops and a sausage with a balsamic gastric. For dessert do not miss the flourless white chocolate cake ! Service was great! My only criticism is the wine glasses are industrial grade and it would be much nicer with a higher quality glass.
