Always a good dining experience. While my choice of entree didn’t work out for me, elements of it were still good. The shrimp scampi appetizer was delicious as was the featured wine. The staff is always wonderful and professional. Other places could take lessons from them.

Beef Wellington and New York strip steak were awesome! Isaac our waiter was very friendly and the atmosphere was great. The place is a 5 minute walk from my house and I always wanted to try it out. Worth it!

Really solid spot, my first time there. Service was wonderful, every employee we interacted with was professional & polite. A bit disappointing to find no real vegetarian/vegan options. If you’re willing to order a bunch of sides, you can make a fair go of it. It’s what I did, anyway. They have a really nice happy hour on liquor so, we may be back for that but for something like group get togethers, family celebrations, business dinners, probably not. I get that every restaurant can’t be everything to everyone but I’m not gonna risk a boyfriend/girlfriend, co-worker, family member, etc. feeling left out when we are so close to many other restaurants.

We had Mother’s Day lunch with Chew Chew and it was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious! I recommend the veggie bowl, truffle fries and you have to order the key lime pie! The place is quaint and makes you feel at home. But, the best part of our experience was our server, Sean E. His smile was infectious, his service was stellar, and his friendliness made all the difference. Thank you Chew Chew, and in particular Sean, for making our day with our mom that much more special.

Love this local place!!! All of their food is so good especially the filet mignon, & the crispy creamy wild shrimp! Also love half off oyster Thursdays & the mussels. Rainbow trout special was also very tasty. Great execution of food, ambiance & service! Their holiday menus are also great.

ChewChew is a gem of a restaurant in a beautiful neighborhood. The food and drinks are top quality, as is the service. The menu keeps favorites while changing out creative dishes that never disappoint. My wife and I love this restaurant so much we booked our wedding reception dinner here and even preparing for a large group of 42 Scott and his team did not disappoint. ChewChew is great for a nice dinner dining in (casual or dressed up) and at the same time great for taking out.
