Chef Warren's

4.8
4.8
1140 Reviews
$50 and over
French American
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.

    The pecan pie is amazing, out of this world. I’m not a huge pecan pie fan but it was amazing! Otherwise our entrees were very good and the portions are very large! The wine menu is a great mix of different wines.

    This was our first time going to Chef Warren’s. Service and staff were great. Drinks were great. Food was really good, but I’m not sure it was worth the price we paid. Overall, it was a good experience. But my husband and I both ended up getting sick afterwards.

    Food was very good and service was excellent. Not an overwhelming menu but it has a nice variety. For the area, some dishes were somewhat pricy.

    This is our favorite place for special occasions and has never disappointed. Came in for an early Mother's Day dinner and, as usual, it was great. Tuna nicoise, schnitzel, key lime cheesecake and chocolate dream coffee were all great as were our cocktails. Service and server were outstanding. Thanks again to the team at Chef Warren's for another great celebration!

    A small but very exciting menu. They have some interesting things such as kangaroo and good specials. The food was excellent and we will return. The wine list is limited but there are good choices. Food prices on the high side but it's a high-end restaurant so to be expected.

    First time I've dined at the restaurant since the pandemic and was very impressed. The menu has been updated with interesting cocktails and there were several appetizer and dinner specials to compliment the menu. For a restaurant that's been in business for over 20 years, it's impressive that the chef continues to be creative. The only negative is that it's pricey and always has been. I would go more often if it were more moderate but until then, it will remain a special occasion option.

    Another superb dinner. The wedge salad was one of the best ever. The bone-in rib eye was so delicious. The chocolate mousse was a perfect finish. My cocktail was perfect, as well. Thank you to the Chef Warren team.

    We head to chef warrens whenever we want to treat ourselves to a truly special meal. The menu is always exciting, this time we tried kangaroo steak and last time we went we tried wild boar sausage. They have plenty of classic favorites too. The cocktails are also excellent.
