Chef Dave's,

"Great place for the absolute meat lovers with a solid wallet We enjoyed the appetizers - ribs - shrimps - duck wings And different entrees - steak - lamb rack - chicken All were delicious What we would love to see for the 5th star - somewhere to hang your coat so it does not have to be on your chair and hang on the ground - transparency on wine and their prices. We were informed there was no wine list we could pick out any bottle from the shelf, like how would we know anything on that bottle - further transparency on prices when educating on the menu (items with MKt price ans specials) so peeps don’t have to ask for it"

"If you can embrace the underlying nature of this establishment, you will never forget it. The menu doesn't try too hard and the wait staff is happy to engage with what you need in your dish. Substitutions are discouraged but everyone we spoke with was happy to talk about what would work best for your needs. The steaks are cooked to the old school traditional levels. If you like rare, make sure you like it cold in the center, which I do. One of my favorite steaks in a very long while. If you expect medium rare to be anything close to pink, order it medium. Talk to your server about what you expect. The staff is wonderful. The cuts were wonderful. The seasoning perfect. What blew me away was the whiskey collection. And I do mean collection, not selection. You will not find the Pappys and BTACs here. You will find the deep cuts. The B-Sides that you never knew you needed. The online menu does not even touch the collection on hand. The cost is noticeable, but my goodness, so worth it. This is a place to discover things. Take note of the website. Not a place for large groups. Not a place for kids. This is an adult experience that embraces good food made the way it is supposed to be made with a bar and staff to back it up. Absolutely wonderful."

"We love Chef Dave’s! Another fabulous meal last night. We had a cozy table fabulous wine and a delicious mock tail with ginger and pineapple. We ordered the pork, carbonara special, and the filet. As well as the ribs to start (delicious with the perfect amount of sauce) and Cesar salad with generous Parmesan - so good. We also had the butterscotch dessert which was just a hint of butterscotch and perfect. We will return again, a great place for a romantic meal or to celebrate a happy occasion with friends!"
