    ChezChez is so warm and inviting, and the bar staff is so wonderful! They really take the time to understand what you like / dislike and will craft a new variety of cocktail for you on the spot. The bar bites are a nice accompaniment to the drink selection, and we really enjoyed the brussels sprouts caesar salad and potato croquettes!

    Perfect date night. Perfect cocktails (Chez alpine) and food (sardines, Brussels Caesar, potato puffs, roasted wild mushrooms which were so amazing), great service, low key and laidback.

    The food was very good although it is light bites and mainly cold plates so it will depend on your mood. I rated it highest for the service. The staff was so friendly, thoughtful and upbeat that it made for a great experience.

    I was very excited to eat here and elected to sit at the bar rather than an outside table when we arrived for our reservation. It was a Saturday night so I understand that it may have been busy but we were treated poorly. My partner and I have both worked in restaurants so we usually give the benefit of the doubt but it took over 10 minutes for the bartenders to acknowledge us and when they did they seemed like they didn't want us there. We had to ask to order drinks and food which is alright but when we did speak with the three people that seemed to be rotating, they all had a negative demeanor. The menu had been really enticing to us and the food was alright but the service really turned us off. Also, shrimp cocktail is not bay shrimp in sauce...I would recommend changing that.

    Great spot in the old Bon Voyage space from the team behind Trick Dog. All the drinks I tried were interesting and delicious and service was stellar. Food is a little pricey and I didn’t love everything I ate. I would 100% come back for drinks/ambiance but maybe not for food, especially in a neighborhood that has an abundance of good food.

    Our original reservation had to be moved last minute but boy did they make up for it! They went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and have a true chezchez experience. Servers are friendly, wine list is incredible and the food is exceptional! We can’t wait to come back again.

    Great menu - food and cocktails- and great service. I do think the interior decoration is a little off and not cozy enough to match what the menu and service, so could be improved even by just better lighting design. That said, would definitely go back!

    Got our first two dishes served before we had plates or silverware. They did give us our drinks quickly though before. The food was good, but a little overpriced. Outdoor seating was great though. The server talked to us a lot and provided details that were just past the normal level of small talk.

    A solid addition, though cocktails were not as balanced or delightful as I had expected from the Trick Dog successor. Small plates were more substantial than I expected but if you order a cheese plate be forewarned that bread is sold separately.

    We had a great experience with restaurant week food - get both menus, totally decadent and worth it! The drinks were delicious and the food was spectacular. I wish we had room to eat more! We added butter beans and the crudités to cut the richness - really great vibe, presentation, and all the team were super knowledgeable and fun.
