About Chaval

Chaval is a Spanish-French bistro with a great reputation for its small, medium, and entree-sized plates that encourage sharing. The menu changes often, offering delicious dishes like warm olives, tomato toast, Pyrenees Rabbit Fideos, and fresh Halibut in pea puree. The churros are a must-try dessert. The wine selection is great and reasonably priced, featuring excellent cocktails. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly, providing exceptional service. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with warm and comfortable dining rooms, a bar, and a courtyard for nice weather dining. When weather permits, there is a lovely, fenced outdoor seating area with electric heaters. While it is not wheelchair accessible, Chaval remains a neighborhood favorite known for its consistently delicious food and friendly service, making it a perfect spot for special occasions. Customers often praise the food, especially the deviled eggs, caviar fingerlings, and Coq Au Vin for two, which is a regular favorite. Reservations are a must, as the restaurant can be busy. Overall, Chaval offers a wonderful dining experience with great food, attentive service, and a warm atmosphere.

God Bless ICE. Go Home Please

My partner and I celebrated my 50th and our 30 year anniversary there. They had a special table set for us. The food, drink and atmosphere was amazing. Their was a surprise birthday cake for me made by Ilma. Such a memorable experience. Only complaint is that there should've been like 30 of those deviled eggs....lol

Thanks for the great meal and everlasting memories.

I’ve worked in restaurants for years. This establishment has all the red flags of a dirty kitchen. My silverware still had crusty food on it from the last use. Floors look like they haven’t been cleaned in months. Food came out lukewarm. Don’t waste your money.
