We brought my wife here for her bday and we're not disappointed. The service was excellent and ambiance fit perfectly. My in laws loved it as well. I had the 12 oz filet, the steak has a crust on the top which gives it a different texture and flavor through each bite. My wife had the salmon and in laws both had the shrimp and grits which they devoured. The bill was quite high but for four people and a slew of drinks it was to be expected. Overall excellent restaurant! Book here now!

We had a reservation at 5:15pm but decided to sit at the bar. I ordered the soup of the day which was amazing.

The chipotle mac and cheese paired well with it.

Brace yourselves--this is going to be a long one, because this experience deserves every bit of it…read more We recently had the opportunity to do a chef's tasting at Honeysuckle Rose, and from the very first interaction, it was clear this wasn't going to be your average night out. We had a bit of a hiccup to start--we couldn't find our gift card (of course). I called and spoke with Kelleanne, and I have to say, this is truly where the experience began. She was warm, understanding, and genuinely funny, turning what could have been a stressful moment into something easy and even enjoyable. She handled everything with kindness and grace, and it set the tone for the evening ahead. A couple of days before our reservation, we received a confirmation call from James--but not the typical kind. He asked thoughtful, personal questions: who my guest would be, our water preferences (yes, really), allergies, absolute no-go foods, and even a song that held meaning to us. At that point, our curiosity was fully piqued. When we arrived, the space immediately stands out. It's very dark--blacked-out windows, black walls, black ceiling--and it's all completely intentional. Before the meal began, Kelleanne explained that the goal is to create an intimate dinner party atmosphere, where you forget the outside world and fully immerse yourself in the experience. And it works. It really works. At your seat, you're given what feels like an invitation--that's your menu for the evening. Each course is introduced by chef River and sommelier Mary Kate, adding a personal and thoughtful touch to every dish. I won't go course-by-course (we'd be here all night), but just know: every single one was worthy of praise. Chef River is absolutely crushing it. We were lucky enough to sit at the chef's counter, which I highly recommend if you can swing it. Watching chefs River, Ryan, and Trae work was like witnessing a perfectly choreographed performance. After each course, every surface was meticulously cleaned--counters wiped, stoves reset--everything returned to pristine condition before the next dish began. It was as impressive as the food itself. And it doesn't stop there. You notice Cody in the back, carefully polishing each glass and plate to perfection. Every single person on the team is fully invested in making this an extraordinary experience--and that's exactly what it is. What really sets this place apart is the attention to detail and the personal touches. Maybe you get an extra bite, a meaningful story from Mary Kate, or a surprise dessert to celebrate something special. There's an element of the unexpected that makes the evening feel uniquely yours. We left completely blown away. Not just by the food, but by the people. Kelleanne and Ryan are the kind of individuals you genuinely enjoy watching succeed--they bring something special to the entire experience. And a quick note for those who notice the details (like I do): even the bathroom is stunning--beautifully designed and just as intentional as everything else in the space. If you're looking for something truly different, immersive, and unforgettable--this is it. Don't think twice. Book the reservation. We'll absolutely be back, and we're already looking forward to exploring their other concepts.

The last tasting menu experience I had was at a 1 Michelin star in Italy so I tried not to keep my hopes too high but I was excited. Before you show up, you get several texts and then a phone call to ask if you prefer still or sparkling water which I've never been asked prior. I was greeted by a lovely hostess at the front door to check in and get walked to my seat at the chef's counter. I was sitting in between 2 people and to my surprise the lady next to me was the owner's sister. The place is so cute, low lighting and the decor was chic and sexy. The bathrooms are some of the coolest and nicest I've ever been in. (make sure you try both ) There's a card with my name on it and inside you find the menu which I thought was super personable and cute. Before they started service, the owners Kelleanne and Ryan came out with their team and just shared some words and then the Sommelier poured our first glass of champagne Each chef took turns before each course talking about the dish and the intention behind it as well as the somm for each wine poured. I cannot begin to describe how intuitive the service was, seamless and utter perfection. The attention to detail was impressive. In between courses you see the ENTIRE team working together in the back - polishing glassware and silverware, garnishing, dropping off dishes and all working together. Getting to see the owners assist in all of that was humbling to see that they were not above doing the tedious work and that they lead by example. Each course was perfect and paired with delicious selections of wine. I didn't think I would get full from this dinner because they were small tasting portions but man by course 6 I was getting close. First of all, I've never had a popover and holy cow it was delicious! She even packed a handful for me Togo as an extra bday touch! So thoughtful! The BEST thing ever was the slices of buttery, melt in your mouth first time ever served there - Japanese A5 Wagyu. At the end they brought out these mini cupcakes with candles for all the guests celebrating all things including me. They really know how to make you feel special. We also all got to leave with their special chocolate covered Oreos made by grandma which was a nice touch. They really know how to create a memorable experience and they made you feel like family. A plus was the bomb playlist that Kelleanne played during dinner. I thorough enjoyed myself and this in fact took first over my Michelin experience in Italy. I loved every aspect of it and it's totally worth every penny! I will be back with hubby! Thank you to the entire team!

Unfortunately, that isn't what we experienced. From the moment we arrived, we felt like our presence was an inconvenience. We had a larger family group, and although there appeared to be tables that could have been rearranged, there was little effort or willingness to accommodate us. Instead of feeling welcomed, we were made to feel as though the restaurant would have preferred that we dine somewhere else. Hospitality is about making guests feel valued, especially during moments when compassion matters most. Sadly, that was missing. I won't speculate about why we were treated this way. I can only speak to how it felt. Our entire family left feeling uncomfortable, unwelcome, and disappointed. When you're grieving, kindness and empathy go a long way, and we simply didn't experience either here. I sincerely hope every guest who walks through these doors is made to feel genuinely welcome.

From the atmosphere to the service to the FOOD--everything was fantastic! We started with shrimp cocktail and French bread, along with a glass of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. For our entrées, we had the filet mignon and beef bourguignon, and WOW! Every bite was delicious and beautifully prepared. Our waitress, Reina, was so sweet and attentive, and the owner personally stopped by our table several times to make sure we had everything we needed and that our meals were prepared perfectly. That kind of personal attention really made the evening feel special. The restaurant was packed, and we even saw a few couples turned away because there simply weren't any tables available--which tells you everything you need to know! Definitely make a reservation! Fantastic food, wonderful wine, amazing service, and such a charming atmosphere. La Chev 208 is an absolute Chef's Kiss! We will definitely be back!

The restaurant is located inside what was formerly a private residence, which adds to its charm & gives it that cozy, intimate vibe. There's seating downstairs, upstairs, and even in the backyard. Dining here feels like being invited over to a friend's house for dinner without having to bring anything ! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the overall vibe. Also there's a few spots in the front for parking and also street parking. We started with the Fig & Prosciutto Salad with pickled red onion, goat cheese, and arugula. Anything with goat cheese already has my vote, but this was delicious. The fig added a nice crunchy texture and sweetness that worked really well with the prosciutto and goat cheese. I would definitely order this again. We also shared the Chevalier Salad with mesclun, strawberry, goat cheese, and pecans. This was also very good, fresh, flavorful, and a great combination of sweet & savory. Between the two salads, though, I would definitely choose the Fig & Prosciutto!! We also tried the Duck Dumplings with a Cabernet sweet & sour glaze. Unfortunately, this was probably my least favorite dish of the night. The dumpling itself was a little bland, and I didn't feel like the glaze added much to it. I wouldn't order these again. For an entrée, if you're looking for something filling and more on the comfort food side .... and something you may even have leftovers from : I'd recommend the Short Rib Ragout with spinach, goat cheese, pine nuts, demi glace, and tagliatelle. It was flavorful, and satisfying. I would definitely order this again but again anything with goat cheese has my attention ! Looking forward to going back to La Chev & exploring the menu further !

We started with a delicious she crab soup, then scallops with a chorizo potato hash. The next course was a gnudi with a delicious creamy sauce, and the main was steak (or tuna for me) with a rich curry sauce, and this amazing apple lettuce slaw. The meal was capped off with a gorgeous mascarpone ice cream. Overall, great food, personalized service, in a lovely intimate environment. A bit pricey- just over $400 after tip.

We've enjoyed dining at Opal for over 10 years, but our recent visit was not nearly as good as…read morebefore. We had reservations for a Saturday night and arrived to a normally full restaurant. Immediately though we noticed there were only 2 main servers taking care of all the tables. We were also told both servers would be taking care of us. This comment was the forewarning. We enjoyed many items we ordered like the veal meatballs, soup of the day, local fish. But my favorite item, the bolognese, was off. It was very plain, and lacked flavor. Just as we suspected the service was minimal and not as engaging as before. The starter and salad was served simultaneously, then a large gap of time before the entrees arrived. This was a definite off night. But it was Saturday night, and they should have been fully staffed for this business. Unfortunately, this experience left us doubting a future return.

The menu is beautiful and the dishes we had were just outstanding. Now, the service... I have to say all the staff, especially Abby, Dane & Taylor were so attentive but not intrusive.. staff checked on us so many times.. it's a rarity & much appreciated.

If you are looking for a more quiet, intimate experience though this place may be a bit loud for that, just due to the size of the place and the bar being in the same vicinity of the dining room. The kitchen is an open-kitchen so that also adds to the noise but it's really cool to watch. Took my husband here for his birthday since he loves steak and their menu boasted dry-aged meats and a whole lot of yumminess. I got the steak and frites and he got the Braised short rib. We both thoroughly enjoyed our entrees, though my husband was reaching over to take bites of mine since he finished his so quickly. The menu is a-la-carte, so most entrees do not come with a side, and all sides are around $15. The Brussels are a must-have!! I love crispy, flaky Brussels sprouts and this place knows how to make them perfectly. Between a beer, a soda, and two entrees and a side, our meal was $125. Service was great, our server checked on us the right amount of times and a chef came by to ask how our meal was. Also I believe the manager did as well, all of which added to the experience. That is a huge plus in a small dining area, you definitely feel that personalized experience that large scale restaurants often lack giving. We would definitely be back to try other menu items and try some fun bar drinks. I took off a star due to the temperature of my steak being a bit cooler than I'd hoped, it was still super delicious but I think it may have sat while my husbands plate was being made and for $42 that's not a cheap number for an entree.
