Upon entering Chalet, we were greeted by a friendly hostess, which immediately set a welcoming tone. The restaurant’s walls were decorated with paintings of celebrities, including an old-school photo of the late, great Michael Jackson from his youth, this was a nice touch.
Overall, the restaurant was moderately clean; however, attention to detail appeared to be lacking. This was most noticeable in the bathroom and certain areas throughout the dining space, where cleanliness could have been improved.
Our server was pleasant and helpful. When asked for her favorite dish, she recommended the shrimp and grits. We took her suggestion, and of all the dishes we ordered, it was easily the most tasty. The shrimp and grits were flavorful and delicious. I rated the dish four stars only because it was spicier than similar versions I’ve had elsewhere, including in New Orleans. Despite this, I would still highly recommend it.
In addition to the shrimp and grits, I tried the chicken and waffles, cheesy eggs, loaded fries, and caramel cheesecake. The chicken was light and crunchy, which I enjoyed, though the seasoning was subtle and could have been a lot more pronounced. The cheesy eggs were quite good, perfectly fluffy with a nice balance of cheese and seasoning. The loaded fries were topped with cheese sauce, bacon, chives, and sour cream. They above basic.
The cheesecake had good flavor but was much denser than I prefer. However, another person at the table enjoyed it, so this may come down to personal preference.
Lastly, Chalet is clearly an adult-oriented environment. The tight space and close proximity to other patrons can expose guests to the aroma of cannabis (which I did smell) and adult conversations. Additionally, the female servers wear provocative attire, including catsuits and low-cut tops. This atmosphere may appeal to some diners but could be uncomfortable for others, depending on personal preferences. Overall, if you want good shrimp and grits and this aligns with your vibe, try Chalet! Oh,
One last thing, we scanned a QR code for checkout, that was nice. Our bill for 3 people was $180 the gratuity was $27, and there was an additional server fee, plus $16 for tax. The $180 total did not include the additional tips we gave our server and busser.
