Went here for the first time yesterday. It came highly recommended from my cousin and I had a feeling I was going to love it. This is a high-quality restaurant. Atmosphere had a very comfortable home-like feeling. Service was not overly and just the right amount of attentive. Drink/wine selections were excellent. But the best most quality aspect of course was the actual food. The dishes that I and those with me had were nothing short of outstanding. Reasonably sized and priced....read full review
I would recommend Chaves to anyone. The food it wonderful, and the staff is friendly. We recently had a family function in the back room and everyone had a great time. Food was served family style and the flavor was on point. Liz and her staff were very attentive, and we were not rushed to leave. This will be our go to place for many years to come.

Chaves Restaurant is a high-quality establishment that offers an exceptional dining experience. The atmosphere is described as having a comfortable, home-like feeling, and the service is attentive. The drink and wine selections are excellent, and the true highlight is the outstanding food. The dishes served are reasonably sized and priced, catering to both those familiar with Portuguese cuisine and those new to it. The hospitality is warm and welcoming, and the restaurant is well worth the visit for a gratifying culinary experience.
The food at Chaves Restaurant is beautifully prepared, and the staff will make you feel comfortable and relaxed. It's a great spot in Hartford that can transport you to Portugal with its delicious, authentic dishes and various options. From drinks to food, they excel across the board.
Chaves ranks among the top three Portuguese restaurants in Connecticut, with fantastic sauces and unique dishes, such as the chorizo dish. The entrées are also fantastic, though the Caldo Verde soup may be too thick for some. The traditional sangria, however, is disappointing, as it lacks the expected alcohol content and is more akin to cheap wine with fruit.
Overall, Chaves Restaurant offers an exceptional Portuguese dining experience, with a welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, and outstanding food. It is a must-visit for those seeking an authentic and gratifying culinary journey.
