Food and service were fantastic! The grill salad was the perfect size to share and tasted great! Lots of tomatoes, bacon and croutons. Empanadas were also excellent - each taste is different but all were great - short rib, jerk chicken and chicken salsa verde were our favorite.

Excellent night at Che! The wine happy hour is amazing. Only suggestion is for them to update the website for happy hour food deals. Not as advertised, but still good value and great food!

We were celebrating our son’s 26th birthday, and surprised him with his 3 siblings and 7 nieces and nephews (all under 5) to have dinner with us. That is 16 people. Our server was amazing… courteous, attentive, respectful and friendly. This is not a 100% kid-friendly restaurant (but it is where our son wanted to go) but our server and staff made our evening absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious and we appreciate everyone who stopped by our table to say hi and happy birthday.
