The Chef's Kitchen Restaurant

"They now have an ala carte or bar menu and a multi-course tasting menu. (The menu changes every week.) I was very excited to try out the bar menu because I love staying at the Inn at Langley. To my taste, the food was overly fussy and not worth a second try. The Parker house rolls were so buttery I thought I had gone to heaven, but, the horseradish chive butter was bitter and cold. The butter ruined what could have been an extraordinary tasting experience. The skinny, 2 inch piece of crab in the crab avocado salad was served with a fizzy, acidic dressing that overshadowed the crab. The half avocado was coated in some kind of black herb that made it look like half a dead black widow spider and, unfortunately, tasted just about as good. The salmon dish was cooked to perfection, but there was little of it. The $24 glass of Malbec tasted no better than the bottle of Malbec I get at Trader Joes for $12.99. (I am not complaining about the price of the glass of Malbec - because I know restaurant's are struggling these days- I just thought they could do better for a $24 glass of wine.) The service was wonderful. The food plating was beautiful. The restaurant is in a lovely setting that makes you feel like you are on an European vacation. You might want to check it out if you like tasting interesting flavors."

"This is Langley's five-star restaurant, located at The Inn at Langley (I have never heard it referred to as The Chef's Kitchen Restaurant). Fabulous cuisine by Chef Matt Dillon and exemplary service. A lovely dining room and creative menu. ©SueFrausePhotos"

"Great breakfast while you stay at The Inn at Langley."

"The Chef's Kitchen Restaurant is open again after two years, and it did not disappoint. The restaurant offers a limited number of seats for a multi-course set-menu meal. The dishes were beautifully presented and delicious! It is hard to choose a favorite, but the thai inspired corn soup, the salmon and eggplant, and the chocolate dessert are all top contenders. My partner got the wine pairing and was quite satisfied with the wine."

"Beautiful and creative presentation. Worth a try for that alone. Service is a bit slow, but friendy. The chef is very unassuming and likable. Nice decor. Now the negative parts: tiny portions. I ate my boyfriend's desert, otherwise I'd have left hungry. Stingy with wine pour, barely covering the bottom of the glass. The only smell that I can remember is the steamed asparagus, which is not pleasant, as usual. Overpriced ($200/pp without the wine). No view. Bathroom outside, bring a jacket with you, because you might have to wait in the cold: only one room for all of us."
