Amazing food outstanding service from Courtney. from someone who has been in the restaurant industry for over 30 years Absolutely 5 stars wish I could give more stars great job!! Round of applause to BOH AND FOH.
This place was so good. You'd never from the outside think it was so quaint and nice inside. It's located on the beach, basically. It's hard to get reservations, so call a week or so in advance! They also charge a fee now per person if you don't cancel within 24 hours and don't show up. $30 per plate. In the meanwhile, don't cancel and go enjoy the most delicious food!! Yum!! I'd go again in a heartbeat if I lived close enough. A bit pricey but so worth it..
Our meals looked fabulous! Staff was great, fodd was good except that 2 of the 4 scallops needed 2 more minutes on the stove. They were cold on the inside, great sear just cold. $45 for the meal....we did let the server know. They were willing to re-fire a new set but we already waited 30 min for this. Overall it was good, my wife's steak was perfect, the corn risotto was great.
Took my husband for our first visit to Chef Mike's on his birthday & it was delicious! It's a Sunday in March so it wasn't busy & we got seated right away. The only down side was on the way there the hostess called 2x in a row & we were only 5 mins late. By doing so she ruined the surprise where I was taking my husband, so it was a little disappointing. They should at least wait 10-15 mins, especially bc you give them your credit card to book a reservation & if you don't show they charge a $30 fee.
The atmosphere was nice but not what I expected for a fine dining experience. It's on the beach & their menu was stocked with great selections so that helped. However I do think they can use a little upgrade or even some better looking tables or table decor. Very plain.
After sitting down we were greeted by our server, Mario. He was pleasant & welcoming & explained all the specials for the night. Our drinks & food came out on time & were presented beautifully. The oysters & shrimp were super fresh! & Our steaks were cooked to perfection. Mario also explained how the summer months will look if we want to visit again. Reservations are a must! We will definitely be back.
Food, drinks and appetizers were excellent. Highly recommend the grilled octopus and whipped ricotta appetizers. The olive oil they use was incredibly flavorful, and the combinations they put together with the food are both interesting and delicious. Reservations are definitely recommend, unless you are trying to sit at the bar. Even in that case, arrive early as there was a line forming for just the bar before they opened at 5. Can't wait to come back and try a different dish!
Went with a big party on a weekday night. Place was crowded but service was fast. Ordered drinks, apps, and entrees. Apps were solid and the seafood entrees were delicious. Several members of the party ordered steaks and many were dissatisfied. Temps were off and seasoning was bland. For the price we hoped for a bit more. Overall still a good meal and would return. Will say that if you have young kids or picky eaters, might not be a great choice. Overall a nice night, but hoped to be blown away for the prices of items.
The young hostesses were excellent and very pleasant. We had the hot appetizer sampler which was good, but no wow factor. Dinner was also good (and the food was definitely fresh) but not worth the price point. The risotto was lukewarm at best and although the filet mignon was perfectly cooked, it was under seasoned, as were the vegetables. The lobster tail was undercooked and the accommodating staff brought us a new one. The pasta dish was excellent and the scallops were also perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection.
Our waitress was lovely but the prices did not match the food.
Loved dining here! Would definitely return! The scallops and risotto were delicious!
