Great Chef
by mikedmeritage

- Pros: Great Chef
- Cons: CLOSED

People were friendly but the food and service will thrump a return visit

I was 100% satisfied with my experience. The service was perfect with good knowledge of the food and wine list. There are a lot of great choices for apps and even the fried options had a distinct light quality. The entrees were prompt and delicious with an excellent presentation. Contrary to other reviews, meats were all cooked perfectly to order. Tell your friends.
