San Chez A Tapas Bistro

Excellent brunch, great service, and atmosphere!! Vegetarian Biscuits and Gravy is the best!!

Great fun, delicious food!

First time eating here! Started out with JAMÓN Y QUESO, then shared empanadas & pollo y chorizo! We were full! (Forget to take pictures of the last 2)….
Will come back during happy hour- great specials!
Forgot to mention that it was my daughter’s birthday (don’t know if they do something special)!

Wonderful staff. Kaleb, our server was engaging and friendly. The food was well presented and executed. Nice upscale version of authentic Spanish cuisine.

Always a great meal.

First time dining at San chez and it exceeds expectations. Wanted to find a fun place to take my gf and have never had an experience tapas in Michigan. From the moment we walked in the vibe and staff was amazing. We sat at the bar and were served by Nico and Bridget. The energy they provided was so fun. We had a lot of questions and they guided us to an amazing culinary experience. From the drinks to the food it was all perfect! We really enjoyed the petoskey stone gin cocktail, the mango sald, and shrimp tapas. Honestly the salad was one of the best I’ve ever had. I think what really made this experience tho was the staff. We found ourselves talking and sharing stories it felt like we were hanging with friends. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Flavors were amazing! At any point you cut corners moving forward, people will notice and you will be closed by Christmas. Our server was so sweet and nice, she was friendly and knowledgable! Thank you for the Spicy Marg! Xoxo

Food is very good but last night our server Derek was ill-mannered. I’ve been here many times. I ordered my usual cocktail and recommended it to my friend. When you order this drink they’ll usually ask like “you know it’s made with mezcal right?” And I’ll say yes. Derek did do that. The first server I had do this to me explained that they get that drink sent back often because of the mezcal so they like to verify they guest will actually like it. I’m glad she explained it to me because I thought it was condescending to be asked if I really wanted what I ordered… but ok. When we got the drinks I could tell immediately they made with regular tequila instead of mezcal. No smokey smell or flavor at all. NBD, but when I told him I think it was made wrong he made a face and just walked away. I thought he was going to come back with two new drinks as this would be the only acceptable reason for him to just walk away from us and not say anything at all, but instead he came back with a tiny, not even half shot, bit of mezcal for us to put in our two drinks..? And he said “well the smoke is not supposed to be very strong”. It’s called Smokey strawberry fields and you just warned me about the smoke flavor. I feel like he was trying to insinuate that we just wanted more booze in our drinks when we just wanted the actual drinks we ordered. If we wanted more booze in our drinks we would have just asked for that. He never asked if we were happy with this resolution. They tasted terrible. We ordered them again because I wanted to actually have one and we asked to please specify that we do get the mezcal this time. What do you know, a completely different drink comes out this time… because they were made correctly this time. When I mentioned that the new drinks were completely different he rolled his eyes and walked away. From the beginning he treated us like we were a shitty table to be dealt. He didn’t make any recommendations like the servers usually do, he tried to rush us between courses, he hardly checked in on us, and he’d fill everyone’s waters in our area and just walk past our empty cups. We actually thought about cashing out and walking to the host stand for a new table but wanted to give the benefit of the doubt because he seemed in a terrible mood and we didn’t want to make things worse for him. I’ve been a server and I understand people have bad days at work, but he never turned our experience around. I was almost embarrassed I took my friend here and we were treated so poorly. The two of us spent like $250 and tipped 20-25%. We expect better service. I’ll be back because this has been my favorite restaurant for years, but I will specifically request to not be sat in Derek’s section.

Another great dining experience at San Chez! Our waiter, Andrew, was extremely helpful, positive and friendly and made the experience just perfect and he had the best recommendations.

The food was, like always, just incredible. The vieiras y tocino (seared scallops and pork belly) is my personal favorite - so much so we ordered another plate after dessert!

They made my wife’s birthday just a little more special with a candle and some delicious chocolate addition to the cheesecake.

Looking forward to our next visit!

Very disappointed at the food and cost. Very small portions and quality of the food doesn't pass my test. I have eaten at many GR Restaurants this one very disappointing experience.

Editha at the bar was THE BEST, made fantastic recommendations and was just a pleasure to interact with.

I will come back here every chance I get.

Possibly the best single plate I've ever had - dates stuffed with goat cheese roasted in Harissa.
