Yelp.com Review - by Fox E.

3.0 of 5 stars. Chef's is not horrible and it is not amazing. The Chicken Parm is a 4/5. The place could easily score 4 except the service can be horrible, and the sauce is a bit sweet, and the prices are absolutely...

My Favorite Restaurant by a mile

Chef's is special to me, it's about the atmosphere and memories and great food. Their food is unique, which is what I love. They don't cater to a huge spread of palates like chains like Olive Garden do, but...

Very disappointing considering this restaurant's reputation. The sauce is no better than Ragu's - bland, tasteless. Where are the fresh ingredients? Garlic? Oil? Oregano?
