The menu is getting stale. You can do better. The service, the wine, the ambiance are all top rate. And while the food is excellent, the menu has not changed in a long time. Just looking for some new items to try.

Went here for Mother's Day with prior reservation. Extremely disorganized, understaffed, and under resourced. Staff were stressed running around trying to accommodate everyone and they ran out of water glasses so we had to sit around for 30 minutes just trying to get a glass of water. This sort of hectic and tense environment would be the last place I would want to spend with my mother to decompress. If you can care for your guests for such occasions, then you shouldn't be open for business on such holidays.

I came here with my 2 daughters and grandson for Mothers Day. This is a tradition for us. Everything was SO good! I had the brunch special omelet with lobster, goat cheese and spinach and it was yummy! Plenty of lobster. My daughters had the grilled cheese and my grandson had the burger. Always good! Had to get orders of pommes frites….a real treat at Chamard. I bought a bottle of the Heritage Merlot and took some home. LOVE it!!! My daughter bought a bottle of the stone cold white which she loved. We love coming here after a day of shopping at the outlets also! Never disappoints.

While everyone was very pleasant and the food was delicious, the service was slow yet we were rushed to finish as they wanted to turn the table. It took over ten minutes after seating to give our order, yet we received the check before we received dessert. They literally cleared the table before we finished up.

We had a wonderful experience. The crab apple trees were in full bloom when we arrived and the neat rows of vines and stone walls against this back drop was a wonderland. Beautiful inside with many windows and art work...lovely setting. Our waiter Garret was so much fun to talk to and met our dining needs to perfection. My sister and I sampled the 3 wines each and I thought the Stone Cold White was exquisite. The salmon was fabulous! Served on a bed of lentils and spinach that had soooo much flavor. The decadent mint chocolate dessert just topped it off. We had a lovely time.

My husband and I have been enjoying innovative, delicious cuisine at Chamard for many years. More recently, we hosted his 70th birthday celebration on a cold snowy Saturday night in January, 2020, just weeks before the pandemic was announced in the US. Carrie went WAY out of her way to ensure our 14 guests were taken care of. We had eaten at the restaurant for several years prior to that; always with great enjoyment and appreciation for the food with which we were never disappointed. My husband is French, and loves the French Bistro menu. We were delighted when the restaurant reopened in 2021, and have been regular customers since that time. However, dinner last night with a good friend was a very big disappointment. The service was very good as always, but the food was shockingly poor. The most disappointing was the chicken cordon blue sandwich. It is possible that my friend and I were busy catching up, and took longer to finish our first course than our server (and the kitchen) expected. But when my sandwich was served, it was pretty clear it had been sitting in the kitchen for quite a long time. I asked the server to include a few French fries rather than the side salad, as I ordered the delicious butter lettuce/walnut salad as a first course. Unfortunately, the pommes frites were soggy and room temperature. The chicken was not even warm, and the cheddar cheese had coagulated. The ‘ciabatta’ roll was enormous, not fresh, and not even slightly tasty. Overall the meal was a big disappointment. I did not want to ruin a nice evening catching up with a dear friend by complaining about the food. However, I am going into a lot of detail here, as I expect specific criticisms will be more helpful in making corrections. There were very few customers at the restaurant last night. I am sincerely hoping you will make the changes required to return to your innovative, delicious food which will bring many long-time and new customers to Chamard.

We sat and had lunch and a wine flight. Server, hostess and food was great. We then went to the bar on our way out to buy a bottle of wine and a winery glass and the bartender was snotty and could care less. I felt rushed by her and I will not go back to the bar area but will def be back to sit in the restaurant area.

I don't see how you can go wrong here. My wife and I shared 2 tastings (6 wines) and we could have enjoyed a glass of any one of them. The food and the mood will help with that decision. The food was excellent as was the service. They clearly know what they're doing here.

Great setting in any season, superb food, always consistent and very good service, nice wines at reasonable prices. Again, why am I missing out on such a great experience?

One of the best restaurants in the region (not that we have great restaurants in the Shore Line...). Service is great and attentive, food excellent with generous portions. Wine is ok (this is Connecticut, not Bordeaux...). Overall a bit pricey, but given that there is no competition, we are willing to pay!
