Drink prices were a little high for us, and may I suggest smaller pours on wine to experience all wine paired with food. 3 full glasses each x2 can really bring up bill...we paid more for liquor than the test kitchen Tuesday.

This is GREAT place to eat. The food is wonderful and creative, the staff is amazing and it's nice to not have to go to LA for world class cuisine. Good wine list, full bar with innovative seasonal cocktails, weekend specials, and the best of all, test Kitchen Tuesdays... Martin deserves a Michelin star...

I had not been to The Chef's Grille for quite some time. I was impressed with the ambience and level of service. I went for the Tuesday Taste Tesing, which was delicious and reasonably priced. I plan to go again, and to recommend to friends.

Ambiance and service was fabulous. Salad and fish entree were very good. However, the beef cheek dinner was terrible. The beef was very fatty. I chewed more fat than beef. I have never written a negative review before, but I think the restaurant appreciates an honest review.

Not sure if people called out sick or what but the place was way understaffed. It took 35 minutes until we got anything on our table besides water. Food was great though.
