Excellent! Food, service, vale. We had a 6:30 resv on a recent Friday night and the place was immaculate. Was able to park very close. We learned that they have been open about 3 mths thus far so all is shiny and tasteful. Has a city vibe without the hassle. Nice bar set up and many dining tables and booths. Authentic delicious Italian. We learned that the owners are the chefs. We also learned that the balsamic vinnegar that is provided along with olive oil on the table is 15 year old aged. Was delicious with the home made 2 different types of bread provided. The spices and flavors of our meals were spot on. Zander, our server, was top shelf and very friendly. Definitely going back!

Food is always very good. The Martini is just great and pairs with the quality and tasty Oysters as well. I ordered the Rack of Lamb, and it may be the best quality RoL I've had. Plus, live music. Its just a great place for a date or an upscale meeting with co-workers, friends, or family.

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!
