Sad that this place got too full of themselves. Use to be great! Food use to be inventive and fun/ flavorful etc. Now, a chaotic mess with sub par food and cocktails. We s o wanted to be singing a different tune. We won’t be back.

We had a very disappointing experience at Chives. We arrived early for our reservation and were seated immediately. Unfortunately, there was a medical emergency at the time, but it was handled discreetly and did not impact the experience. Our server was friendly and seemed very inexperienced. She took our order for an appetizer of chicken wonton, which we enjoyed. She asked us to order or entree when she delivered the appetizer and we asked her to come back when we finished the appetizer. She did not return for a very long time and engaged in conversation with other guests for about 15 minutes until we had to walk over to her and ask her to take our order. No apology from her. We waited almost an hour amd a half for our food. It was fairly busy but our reservation was at 5:15. We finally asked the host about the delay and the server came to our table to say that she checked on our order and that it was being made. We remarked that it had been a long wait and she told us that it was because we didn't order our entree at the same time as the appetizer and that the kitchen didn't have adequate time to prepare our food. We enjoyed our single glass (excellent) glass of wine long before the food arrived. When the server arrived she said "I assure you it was worrh the wait." The artichoke vegetarian pasta was average at best. The fresh sprouts were outstanding and the asparagus was fresh. Noodles were mushy and drenched in oil. The whitefish was average with dried up and crunchy fingerling potatoes. It's a beautiful restaurant with a farm to table menu but didn't meet expectations. The server handed us a box of macaron cookies as we left.

Outstanding from beginning to end! We travel internationally a lot and this was one of the best meals we've ever had! Carlton took great care of us, sharing his knowledge of the menu and superb customer service. The flavors found in every dish were incredibly layered - and the pastry chef, oh my! A better anniversary celebration meal could not be found. Thank you to the whole team at Chives - keep doing what you're doing.

Outstanding dining experience! Everything was wonderful. We had a few oysters, beet salad, duck and the salmon and potato pancakes. Finished by the bomb dessert. The special brown butter mushroom infused manhattan and a delicious Hungarian after dinner wine. All were spectacular. I loved my salmon. It was a house cold cured gravlax type salmon. So good. Of course the bomb dessert was great. Serving was perfect and the ambiance was comfortable and stylish hip. Will come back!

Came specifically for the Cherry Bread Pudding French Toast & it was taken off the menu. Need to update your online menu accordingly.

The waiter, although very knowledgeable, the time in-between table visits was very long. Also, there was a significant delay in getting our entrees, so the waiting was a bear. The food did make up for the delays, but also caused for a much longer dining experience than expected

Meh. Wonton appetizer so so. Should have left out the chicken. Sauce was sticky and sweet. Green salad fine. Completely unremarkable. Mussels were nice. Enormous bowl. Topped with thick french fries. Plenty for 2 ppl. Served with bread because i requested it. Butter was super salty. Banana dessert not good. Nice view of lake. Nice breeze through restaurant. Server was pleasant and efficient. Big gap in time between app/salad arrival and entrees.
