    It was good to be back at 1958 Cuban in Westfield- the food and service was once again excellent. We were also pleased to meet the owner who lives in our neighborhood. Highly recommend if you wish to taste authentic Cuban cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere with impeccable service.

    We have been dining at Chez Catherine for more than 30 years. We ate there when Catherine was still alive, and were so happy when it re-opened after her death. Stefan and his staff have re-created the fine dining experience that is so hard to find anymore, especially outside New York. We dine at Chez Catherine several times a year for outstanding French food, a great wine list, and wonderful service.
