Great fine dining experience. Subtle taste experiences and friendly service, not pretentious.

The food and service were exceptional. Special Kudos to the Sommelier Ted Merkel for outstanding knowledge of the wines, helpfulness and in general creating a very special dining experience.

The experience at this restaurant is always so magical for us. We come every year at least once and in September, especially the weather is perfect. The food is plentiful and beautifully plated and perfectly designed with a mixture of layered flavors. You will be arguing with each other, which was the best and some you just want to lick the plate or have them bring more before you go onto the next Ineri Delight as the next course. The service is always so great. There must've been five people working with us all wonderfully conversational and excellent service. I highly recommended, yes it's expensive but as a celebration it can't be beat.

Truly a dinner we will always remember. Spectacular food, wonderful service, highest marks for a wonderful evening.

Food was great. Every dish, every bite had unique and multiple flavors. Wine pairing can use a slight higher portion but they go well with the food. Service is great with friendly staff. Pace of each dish was great also. Ted was the best and most memorable as he was very nice, patient when my wife asked questions about the food. He even gave us some live plants from the garden that was used in the dishes which is a cool experience!

3 out of 7 courses were nice. Staff was friendly and warm. Service was ok like any other restaurant, nothing great. The place is a house converted to a restaurant, really cozy but need some light music/upgrades is what I felt. Overall it's a good one time tryout restaurant. I expected more from a Michelin star restaurant.

The “surprise and delight” menu did exactly that! Every bite was absolutely delicious. It was easily the best meal we have ever had. The Wagyu beef was a standout!

I'll preface by stating that I came here with high expectations, and that is always a sure fire way to ruin a good thing. Also, I did not choose the wine pairing for my 7 course meal. The service was outstanding with all hands on deck. In fact, I've never seen a sommelier work harder than Ted during this evening. He was everywhere. Ambiance was divine and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable while sitting outside. The food was good, but that's it. Perhaps I've been spoiled by my time in France, where a humble meal can be a revelation? Perhaps I'm holding a high Michelin bar for French cuisine set by the late Jöel Robuchon? Perhaps I'm missing a critical element by skipping the wine pairing? (I chewed on my 2009 Leoville Poyferre St Julien, which they kindly corked for me.) The meal gave me nothing to complain about except falling short of my own expectations, which is a bit unfair, but also a reality that plays into the question, “Would I come back?” At the moment, that answer is no. I've checked this one off my list after a long self-imposed wait to visit. I've had meals that leave me craving it again, where I consider booking a flight just to have it again, and although I left satisfied, I do not have any craving to return except to indulge in excellent service from their staff. Kudos to Israel for making our night enjoyable!

Amazing food carefully prepared and served with the utmost attention
Fantastic food and service as always! We're vegetarians and love that they have an entire separate menu.

My husband took me here for my birthday and it was wonderful. The dishes were beautiful and all the flavors were really well balanced. I did happy food dances every time I took a bite.
We went with the wine pairing and their sommelier Ted was very knowledgeable and enthousiastic when presenting the bottles. I'm glad that we went with the pairing because it made every course even more enjoyable.
I was surprised by the amount of dessert courses we got. Including a personalized dessert for my birthday, I think we had 4 courses of yummy sweet treats, all paired with a beautiful port.
The whole experience felt very intimate and precious and I highly recommend you give this place a try if you love good food or if you have something special to celebrate. Their entire team will absolutely make it worth your while.

Wonderful experience. Such an intimate and friendly restaurant. Chef Stan, Somm Ted and the entire team are doing a fantastic job night in & night out!

Had a great dinner at Chez TJ last night. The food was beautiful and tasted delicious! Thank you!

Great dinning experience, but pricey. The beef was excellent, but the multiple courses of seafood was redundant. Mixing in a pasta course would have been a better balance
