Reviews
We just hosted our wedding at the Chase and I cannot recommend it enough! They provided an upscale, classy and chic atmosphere which is exactly what we were after. The food was phenomenal and our guests won't stop talking about it!! They allowed us to customize our menu to accommodate items we love most (mango sticky rice, banh mi late night) and also gave plenty of vegan and veg options (for me + guests). The beverages were delicious, the staff were SO on it, we had fast service, quick turnaround at the bar (never a line in sight), they provided the perfect ceremony space, always made us feel heard, kept the bathrooms immaculate. I really don't have anything negative to say, their level of service and excellence puts other venues to shame. A huge shout out to Michaela, our amazing coordinator who made sure everything ran smoothly, all the waitstaff, Vlad the manager, the so kind (& fun) bartenders, the amazing chef and kitchen staff, the hostess - every single person played a big role in making our day a success and we are forever grateful. If you're debating hosting your wedding here, do it!! You won't have any regrets!

The food here is absolutely delicious—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was just as impressive; the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, with a great balance of comfort and style. Overall, it’s a place I would definitely come back to and recommend to others.
Went here for valentine’s day and had the five course fixed menu valentines dinner. The service was beyond exceptional - everyone smiled and greeted us as we walked to our table, and our server, Jordan, was extremely friendly and helpful the entire night. We also thought the polaroid pictures was such a cute concept for valentine’s day! The atmosphere was great for a nice valentines dinner - perfect lighting and ambiance. The food was presented beautifully and hit a diverse palate of tastes that was refreshing and delicious. To start, the east coast oysters with the mignonette was so fresh - a great introduction to the meal. The burrata had a beautiful presentation and hit a unique taste palate with the grape compote. The beef tartar was also amazingly done along with the homemade kettle chips, and I personally loved the hints of dill. The australian wagyu striploin and the pacific black cod were both equally amazing - both with their own unique tasty sauces. The dessert was top tier, with the banana custard pie being so satisfying after being full from the meals before. Overall I have no negative feedback - this was a perfect experience for my boyfriend and I. We will definitely be back!
We caught the tail end of Winterlicious at the Chase, and it was not disappointing. Good options for all three courses. The truffled mushroom soup was rich and creamy, but you just can’t go wrong with the fresh burrata. For main we both had the wagyu steak which was done to perfection, and exactly how we liked it. I’m not a dessert person, but I almost licked the plate off the sticky toffee pudding. My husband had the chocolate tart which was okay. We were seated at a two-person table by the entrance in the enclosed outdoor space at first, with draft coming through the window, making it absolutely unbearable. We demanded to switch and were seated at another two-person table in the middle of a big table. Bottom line, there’s no room for me to even put down my small Dior bag, tight space and very noisy. I had to “yell” to talk to my husband even our table was small enough that they had to put the bottle of wine we ordered by the bar space. For the whole time, we didn’t get to look at the bottle to remember what we were drinking. For this reason, I needed to take a star off.
