After coming here now about 3 to 4 times I want to say I thoroughly enjoyed the food I've tried and love me some Chira's!This has become an occasional weekend dining experience. My family and I keep coming back for the delicious food. Just the other day I tried the spicy jalapeno burger that's not on their menu online, but instead their menus in house. It was to beat somebody over if they had knocked my plate down for! Paired with their refillable list of lemonades, if you enjoy trying spicy foods this ones for you folks. I've also tried the steamed clams and any and all the shrimp. All that was excellent also.From the moment you walk in to the time you leave hopefully satisfied you're treated like part of the family and I enjoy that homey but upscale feel when I walk into Chira's. Speaking of that I'd like to specifically shout out the host that that was friendly and kept all the water glasses filled! I also always enjoy our usual waitress Anna or Tanya, always forget her name my apologies. Thank you especially to Yuriy for his wonderful and delicious food the Chef!Speaking of the atmosphere I love the location and placement of the restaurant and the size of it. It's good for a a good size party or romantic dinner really.

The food was excellent. I ordered a medium rare fillet. The fillet came with a salad, choice of starch ( I chose smashed red potatoes) and a vegetable (I chose asparagus). Everything was excellent. A great value in these days where many restaurants have beef dinners a la carte. The restaurant is inside a historic brick building with it's own charm. I will definitely be back!

We had a 7:15 reservation for Friday night 3/1. We arrived at 7:10 and were seated fairly quickly and someone brought us bread. The restaurant was only 50% to 75% full and our waitress came and took our order within 10 minutes. As we waited we noticed other people being seated and getting their drinks and starters while we waited. We were ignored for 45 min and did not even receive our drinks-( a ccke and a cocktail). When I approached the host to find out what was going on he had a deer in the headlights look and said let me speak to your waitress who happened to be passing by. When he tried to speak with her she looked at him, then looked me up and down and rolled her eyes and put her hand up as if she didn't want to hear anything and snorted as she kept going. I understand that my friend and I were dressed very casually, (jeans and t-shirts) but felt very disrespected. I was trying to cheer a friend up who had recently lost his daughter and his wife is in the hospital. I thought that maybe a good steak and a nice dinner would cheer him up. Needless to say I was very put off and we left immediately. If this is how the staff is allowed to treat customers-( based on appearance imo) I will not be returning and will not be recommending this establishment to anyone.

I have heard amazing things about this restaurant so when we planned a work lunch I did not eat any breakfast just expecting an amazing meal I was brought the wrong meal when I finally got the right meal everyone at my table had finished eating and my shrimp was pretty undercooked I have heard that dinner is really good and their steaks are the best in town so I probably will give them another chance just not anytime soon I do also want to say that they were quite busy and they only had one person working

A fantastic restaurant with excellent food, good service, good drinks, if you like them, sweet, and a very pleasant atmosphere. It can get a little loud, and the piano and other music can also get a little loud, but otherwise, a lovely place to have dinner. The crab cakes were absolutely fantastic and some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The Parmesan crusted halibut was absolutely delightful and full of so much flavor. The wife got the crab ravioli that was very rich, but had so many wonderful flavors that it was hard to not eat the entire thing in one sitting.

Came in early for my show and though Chira's was busy, my companion and I were respectfully seated and attended to with genuine curiosity. Ambiance is calming and they seem to keep a friendly atmosphere amongst patrons. Amazing food and worth the visit!
