What an amazing restaurant!! If I could give more than five stars, I would. The service was excellent! The food was phenomenal and the options were amazing. We started our meal with the calamares with chorizo in a spicy tomato sauce. It was outstanding. I loved start to our lunch. For my lunch entree I had the steak fajitas and my girlfriend had the Croque Madame and she loved it. The steak was cooked perfectly and it was so tender and flavorful. We will definitely be back to try their dinner menu.
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
I recently visited chef Luis and was truly impressed! The atmosphere has transformed beautifully since my last visit, creating a much more open and inviting space. The food was nothing short of amazing—each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. I can't wait to return!
We recently had a great meal at Chef Luis! Something cool that they have on their menu are these tortilla cups that the chef fills with all kinds of different things - some of our personal favorites were the lomo saltado and birria taco cups! He even did berries and cream in them for dessert! We also really enjoyed the Italian quesadilla and scallops we had that evening. The staff and chef are super friendly and welcoming!
The food was absolutely delicious, and the service impeccable. Chef Luis even came out and spoke to us and gave us a complimentary dessert. It was heavenly. I live in New Haven, but the drive to New Canaan was worth it. I will definitely go back.
