not a restaurant i enjoy. poor service.
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.

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.
