Pleasant experience at Chef Luis catching up with friends. Food was great, service was great, and noise level was low so we could talk to each other!

We used to live in New Canaan and were driving through. We decided to go the Chef Luis as we had enjoyed it when we lived there. It really did not live up to our memories of it, but our waitress was delightful. Not a bad evening, but a bit disappointing.

We had lunch, my husband got the salmon burger, it's was fantastic, we both loved the sweet potato fries....soooo good. I got the Lambchop Lollipops on an arugula, grapefruit salad, it's was outstanding! We also shared an order of the French green beans, again...outstanding! Our server was efficient and very nice.We will be back....soon!!! Thank you for a wonderful lunch.

Very good restaurant. My only comment is that the website shows a much larger menu than what they provided when we went there. A couple of items I wanted to try were not on the menu listed on the website.

This was our second time coming and service as well as the food was top notch. We would highly recommend everyone to come and eat here. Well, not everyone, we want to make sure that we can get a reservation the next time 😃.

Love love love Chef Luis. Food, service, cocktails all excellent and always consistent. I always get Calamari and Lupica's Pasta.

Chef Luis is one of the most unbelievably kind and genuinely warm-hearted individuals you'll ever meet. He treats every guest like family.
The atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and full of character. Weather permitting, there is indoor and outdoor seating available.
The food is incredible. Every dish is made with creativity and heart, and you can really taste it. His burgers and ceviche are my personal favorite dishes.
The drinks are just as thoughtfully made and pair perfectly with the food. If you’re unsure of what to try, Vanesa can surprise you with a delicious drink.
This place is a real hidden gem in New Canaan. Definitely worth a visit!
The food was good as well as the service. My only complaint was the portion size. I ordered the short rib ravioli which was $36 and received SIX ravioli. If I spent that amount at any Italian restaurant, I would have received a fully filled plate/bowl.
I'm only 150 lbs but was left feeling hungry after--for that price I should have received more.
Always have a great dining experience at Chef Luis. Good variety on menu and good value compared to the other high end New Canaan food options.

As always, the food was excellent. We typically order the same 2 or 3 dishes (scallops, Lupica's pasta or Churrasco) because they're sooooo good, but my wife and I decided to try something different last night. The Cacio a Pepe pasta and Tuna Tataki were both delicious. Best of all, our server Ezekiel was a true professional - friendly and was able to provide details regarding all of the dishes on the menu. Our out of town guests joined us for dinner and they were blown away by the food and service.

We walked past the door because it looked closed but we backtracked and found it open. When we sat down, warm bread and olive oil was placed on the table. The waiter then took our drink orders
The menu was promising but was more interesting than tasty. I ordered duck l'orange which is something I hadn't had in years. It may be more years as the manager came back to say they didn't have it. So I ordered the pork chop medium rare but I was told that the kitchen would only make it medium well. So I decided on the beet salad. The manager said the chef could make it medium but not to worry because it would be moist so I agreed to the chop. It was probably close to 12 ounces and looked beautiful sitting in a soup of creamed corn and sautéed onion. The corn was delicious but the chop was too well and chewy, totally unpleasant. The steak ordered medium rare also could have used less time cooking. Bone end of the strip steak was medium rare but the other end medium well. The halibut in paperlotte was cooked perfectly. The order of scallops produced 5 scallops cooked properly but the accompanying sauce could have stayed in the kitchen
