    Delightful French food. Done with a light touch and attention to taste and appearance. Wonderful wine pairing. Chapeau bakes its own bread, makes its own ice cream, and offers creative cocktails. The Branzino is fantastic. In fact there was not one miss in the whole evening. What’s more, you feel pampered without being suffocated. Fine food and old fashioned hospitality. A winner.

    Delicious meal, great old world wine selection and European service where you are left alone to enjoy your time unless you need attention.

    Consistently great food and service! Everything was absolutely delicious, and we always love seeing the owner/chef come around the tables and saying hi to everyone. It’s such a special family owned place!

    We both found most of our dishes to be on the salty side. Service was okay but they gave me my husband’s dishes (and vice versa) throughout. Room is really loud. Needs baffling in the worst way.

    Always excellent with an attentive staff and very good chef. The owners really care to put on a great dinner, and they achieve their goals night after night. Can be noisy if you’re there on a busy Saturday evening, but the food and service never lack.

    I always love the dining experience at Chapeau! Chef greeted us at the door, showed us to our table, then checked in with our group from time to time during dinner. The lighting is on the low side, which adds to the comfortable ambiance, but makes it hard to read the menu. Cell phone flashlight did its job. Food was delicious as were the specialty cocktails!
