We come here often and noticed a more aggressive push by waiter to get bottled water ($8) , appetizer, drinks and desserts. Food is good, but prices have gone up. They add 18% service charge, so check your bill. Did notice portion size of Caprese Salad was reduced- much smaller tomato and mozzarella slices.

I had an incredible experience at Chimba! The service was absolutely spectacular – the staff was attentive, friendly, and made the visit unforgettable. The brunch was beyond delicious, with every dish perfectly prepared and full of flavor. A standout for me was the pan de bono, truly the best I’ve ever had – fresh, soft, and incredibly tasty. The atmosphere was lively and colorful, adding to the overall wonderful dining experience. I highly recommend Chimba for anyone looking for exceptional food and service. Definitely a 5-star
