    I reserved the restaurant to celebrate some of my closest friends! The service was amazing! The drinks were beautifully crafted, the waitress gave us very detailed opinions of the menus, she checked on us constantly and the food was flavorful, hot and delicious. I would give the experience 10/10. Parking also was not had at all!

    We booked Chef’s Kitchen for our Mother’s Day celebration dinner. We expected for the restaurant to be packed and for service to be a little slow, but last night was unacceptable.

    Had a great time, food was cool. But appertiser / entree portions were small compared to the price you have to pay for it. I paid $10 for the parm steak fries and $27 for shorty short ribs. I was expecting a nice portion because there was a little wait for my entree. But when I received the so-call fries, it end of being a half of a potato slice into four thick fries. But overall enjoyed myself will return.

    I have been to this restaurant several times and never disappointed. Tonight was different. The food was not up to par as usual. The parmesan potato wedges that I cherish were horrible this evening ( over breaded and soggy. Not sure it there is a new chef but please stick to the original recipes and cooking process.

    Ambience and service were on point! The jerk pasta with shrimp was delicious. Perfect amount of spice! Drinks are a bit overpriced, but they were tasty. The potato wedges with Parmesan were underwhelming. Overall, the experience was great. Our server was very attentive and gave great recommendations.

    My wife and I loved Chef’s Kitchen & Cocktails! The food was delicious, the servers treated us like family, and the vibe was very relaxed and the music was perfect! We will definitely be back right after we tell all our friends and family to pull up!

    I came here to celebrate my significant other’s birthday dinner. We had a reservation for 6 PM and were seated by 6:15. Our waitress, Colbi, was very polite and attentive throughout our meal. To start, we ordered the Salmon Rolls, Salmon Bites, and Calamari. The Salmon Rolls were enjoyable, though I wasn’t a fan of the sauce. The grilled Salmon Bites were great since they were cooked just the way we wanted. The Calamari was tasty, but it was a bit salty. It was served on two pieces of bread that soaked up all the grease, making it somewhat difficult to eat, although the sauce that accompanied it was excellent! For our main courses, we chose the Red Snapper and the Seafood Mac. Both dishes were fantastic! The Seafood Mac is definitely enough to easily serve two and a half people. The Dirty rice that came with the Red Snapper was spicy and hard, I could have went without it. The drinks were nice as well. The Red Snapper was exceptional, and the Plantains were the best I’ve ever had. The Brussels Sprouts were also a main character. I'd come back for the Plantains, the Snapper, and the Brussels sprouts. All in all, we had a wonderful dining experience.
