Incredible experience - food, service, drinks. We had a healthy sharing of the appetizer and dessert menus in addition to each having a steak, and we can’t decide which of the several dishes we enjoyed most.

The Chew Chew is always a nice place to dine. I had the crab stuffed rainbow trout, while my wife had the scallops with risotto. Both were delicious!
