Chef T’s never disappoints! We love coming here for a nice date night. The food is SUPERB, the service is great, and the atmosphere is cozy and classy. We love how the menu changes periodically as we enjoy trying new things. We look forward to returning again soon!

Our party of 12 dined here for New Year’s Eve dinner. The space is small and I was pleasantly surprised by the how warm, charming and relaxing the ambience was. The before-dinner bread was tasty as was the Brie fruit combo. The wait staff, Jessica an Sam were friendly, accommodating and always available for assistance. I enjoyed the Riesling Jessica suggested and it went perfect with the salad, prime rib and mashed potatoes I ordered as well. The key lime pie was tasty and I left feeling too stuffed to eat all my meal.

Best French onion soup ever. Have been here several times and always had excellent food. Atmosphere is very pleasant and, overall, Chef T’s has a special, unique ambiance. Love the southern mansion that it was and the fine dining restaurant that it has become. Save room for their desserts.

My girlfriend and I decided to come here and celebrate our anniversary and our experience was nothing short of amazing. The food was delicious and the service was great. They made it a very personal experience! To start we shared the calamari which was the best I have ever had. After my girlfriend had the filet medallions with mushroom sauce on it. It was cooked to perfection and was extremely tender with a satisfying crust on it. I had the scallops and I was very pleased with the flavor and tenderness of them, every thing was perfect. I would highly recommend to anyone. Thank you to the host Paul, the server Jennie and of course to Chef Terry.

I give this review in the hopes of improvement because I believe there is potential. First, I loved the atmosphere. The homelike setting was fantastic. However, upon entering, there was no one at the front counter for several minutes. We stood around and finally gave a loud cough before someone finally came up and sat us. We were seated in a tight corner. Service was fantastic and the waitress was very attentive.

My better half and I decided to try Chef T’s for our anniversary and were very happy we did. We tried the baked brie appetizer and very much enjoyed it; on top of tasting great, it was a very good amount of food for an appetizer. Made it so we weren’t starving any longer but didn’t fill us up.

Me and my wife dined at Chef Ts for New Year’s Eve, so glad to see it open. The food as always was amazing. We have never had a bad meal. The grouper had so much taste it was the best I have ever had. But the escargot WOW. No other words can explain it. Beautiful atmosphere and a extensive wine selection. Thanks to Paul for being our server you were great.
