Chardon Restaurant

The food was excellent and very well executed. We had the privilege to be waited on by Walker, the pastry chef for Chardon. She was the most mindful server I've ever dined with. Usually, at high end places, the servers can be overtly pushy to upsell and use tacky pitches. The food itself was excellent, especially the endive Caesar salad and the bread. They were a surprise hit in our group. The seafood tower was also great. Oysters were briney and sweet, the lobster was perfectly cooked, and the deviled blue crab was seasoned well. Definitely a must try. The beef cheek bourguignon is rich and well balanced...pairing very well with the house red, which was also a well balanced red blend. The filet was cooked very well, but the bourdelais sauce was a little underwhelming. That might have been the only low point of the evening, but the dish itself was excellent. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal with a pleasant front of house team, well executed dishes, and a gorgeous setting.

Absolutely Exceptional Dining Experience! Wow — this place is easily one of my top favorite restaurants across the U.S. The décor is stunning, the service is impeccable, and the food is absolutely outstanding. I loved it so much I dined here two nights in a row — it’s that good! Highly recommend trying the burger, steak, and chicken — each one cooked to perfection. And don’t skip dessert; it’s worth every bite. Thank you to the team at Chardon for a truly memorable birthday dinner. I’m already looking forward to coming back the next time I’m in Houston!

It’s clear they pay attention to detail here. Everything from the food, to the decor, and even the cutlery is very well themed and designed. My girlfriend and I came at first for some happy hour drinks and appetizers - they were great. We shared the Salade Verte and I really enjoyed the Dijon vinaigrette on it. For our entrees she got the Burger and I got the Beef Cheek Bourguignon. It was extremely tender and flavorful. For dessert we had the Crunchy Profiteroles. I’ve never had a dessert like that before, and the sauce drizzled over is delicious. Service was great as well. Seyara was a fantastic server and bartender, and was very friendly and personable. Would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area looking a great experience.

I can’t sing the praises of this place enough. Incredible food. The beef bourguignon is the best I have had in the city. The venue is breath taking. Easy valet, attentive service, and incredible recommendations. The ambiance was perfect. It could work for a date, work dinner meeting, girls catch up or a small family meal. I will be back for sure! Nothing is made with seed oil and you can’t tell the difference. The bread and butter and French fries, pommes aligot, the stuffed deviled blue crab. The drinks were well balanced. It was all incredible!

I stopped by Chardon for Sunday Brunch later in the day, arriving around 2:45 PM. By that time, the earlier rush had cleared out, and the dining room had a calm, almost serene vibe. The location is beautiful, with a stylish bar and warm lighting that gives the space a sophisticated yet relaxed feel. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the atmosphere. Even though the restaurant was far from busy, our server took a long time to bring simple requests. There was no sense of urgency or attentiveness, which was surprising given how quiet it was. On the positive side, the food was excellent. The presentation was thoughtful, and everything we ordered was flavorful and well-prepared. The espresso martini had a smooth balance of coffee and sweetness, the baked crab dish was rich and satisfying, and the steak frites were cooked perfectly, with tender meat and crisp, seasoned fries cooked in duck fat. The drinks were decent overall — nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable enough to complement the meal. Still, great food and drinks can only go so far when the service leaves you feeling overlooked. I had been looking forward to trying Chardon and, in terms of the menu, it delivered. However, dining out is as much about the experience as it is about the food, and the inattentive service made this visit less enjoyable than it could have been. For that reason, while I appreciated the flavors and the setting, this will likely be a one-and-done for me.

5/5 – A Must-Visit Gem in Houston! As an experienced foodie, I can honestly say this new spot completely blew me away. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was effortlessly stylish yet welcoming—a perfect blend of modern design and elegance. The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish was bursting with flavor, perfectly balanced, and beautifully plated. You can tell there’s true passion and creativity behind the menu. The drinks were just as impressive—Self, the bartender, was an artist behind the bar. He crafted both on- and off-menu cocktails that were some of the best I’ve had in the city. Each sip was a surprise in the best way possible. What really set the experience apart was the hospitality. The owner personally came over to welcome us, chatted for a bit, and even sent out complimentary treats that made us feel genuinely cared for. That kind of personal touch is rare these days—and it’s what makes this place so special. This restaurant isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. From the atmosphere to the service, it embodies everything that makes Houston dining great: creativity, warmth, and world-class hospitality. Go now !!!!A new Houston favorite!

The restaurant has a beautiful interior and a very pleasant atmosphere — the décor is truly impressive. Service was good and the staff were attentive. The food was tasty, but honestly quite ordinary. The chicken tasted just like regular chicken, and the $17 salad wasn’t particularly special — something you could easily make at home. The menu also felt rather limited, without many interesting or unique options. Overall, it’s a nice place if you’re looking for a beautiful setting and good service. But if you’re after a memorable culinary experience, this might not be the spot.

Overall great experience at Chardon. First time visiting for a friend’s birthday. We had a few appetizers and ordered all the desserts on the menu! The duck fat fries were divine. All the desserts were really good, our favorite was the profiteroles with caramel ice cream. The bestie got a birthday macaron filled with vanilla ice cream, was also delicious!

Came in for anniversary on a Friday night with reservation, seated immediately. Dress code: most people were anywhere from business casual to formal Food 5/5: we had the Caesar salad, stuffed crab, hor d'oeuvre tower, the duck and their salmon mille fuille. Everything was amazing. My personally favorite was the duck and my significant other and I basically ranked things in opposite order so that tells me everything was good depending on preference Service 4.5/5: great service, very attentive, helpful and friendly. Food came out a bit slow to start but once apps came, everything else came with good timing Ambiance 4.5/5: beautiful location, very classy feeling with a slight modern twist. Good lighting and ambient sound levels were good for talking comfortably but perhaps a bit louder when more busy Value 4.5/5: fantastic value for fine dining, the duck was our entree and it was 2 giant portions and the lobster pot pie looked enormous when they were bringing to our neighbor. Can't wait to try the other entrees Overall 4.8/5: might be the highest review I've ever given. Fantastic food at great value and amazing service and ambiance. Can't wait to come back. Parking: valet parking available and large paid parking lot nearby. We were staying at Thompson so not sure if there's validation for parking.

Chardon was absolutely stunning and such a great experience overall. From the moment we walked in, the servers greeted us right away and were incredibly friendly and attentive. The vibe felt open, elevated, and very Parisian upscale without being over the top. I love French food, and the menu had most of the classics along with an impressive range of seafood. The chocolate croissant was decent but definitely didn't come close to the best ones I've had in Houston, let alone France. Steak Frites: 10/10. The meat was tender and perfectly medium rare with a rich, savory flavor. My only complaint was that the sauce was a bit underwhelming. However, spreading the roasted garlic cloves on the steak made it absolutely delicious. The truffle fries were good too, though a little on the greasy side. French Onion Soup: 8/10. The flavor was genuinely so good and comforting. The only downside was how hot it was. I could only take a couple bites the whole time we were there. Crème Brûlée: 6/10. This one disappointed me. The top didn't have that hard shell crack and was instead more of a soft scoop. The custard was pretty bland too. They mentioned it had herbal notes, but all I really got was a plain taste with a light hint of vanilla. Overall, I would come back for their mains and the vibe!

Came for HRW brunch: 2 courses, 8 menu items to choose from. My friend and I visited for the first time to try the HRW menu and celebrate her birthday. I had high hopes based on the reviews and elegant atmosphere - even considered it for my own birthday dinner - but now I'm not so sure. Though I had a reservation, the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived around 1pm. Still, it took a while for our server, Chad, to greet us. He apologized, saying he was handling something else, which we understood. However, his tone during ordering felt passive-aggressive. He remarked we were speaking "too quickly" and complained about not being able to read the menu upside down. When we later asked for cocktail recs, he pointed out - a bit curtly - that we were looking at the happy hour menu (next to the cocktails), mentioned he doesn't drink, and left it at that. No offer to help or refer someone else. We eventually asked another server for drink recs, and she was much more helpful. Chad's attitude improved later, but the awkward first impression stuck. On the bright side, the host, the helpful server, and the viola player were all lovely. The food was mediocre. We had the avocado tartine, deviled blue crab (+$15), pain perdu, croque monsieur, and two cocktails - around $110 total. Both the tartine and croque monsieur had bread that was overly tough. Drinks were good, but overall, the uneven service and just-average food left us underwhelmed.

Chardon was a moment. We went the first night of Houston Restaurant Weeks and ordered the $65 three-course... but they ran us four. Say less. Now, a few things. We booked for 9:30 PM thinking we'd have time to enjoy the experience. It took about 15 minutes just to get greeted, and when the server finally came over, we said we weren't sure what we wanted yet - and he immediately rushed us because the kitchen was closing soon. If the kitchen closes at 10, don't offer 9:30 reservations. Simple. Now let's talk food: First course - Pain d'Épi (baguette, butter, olive oil): 10/10 - Chickpea Panisse with fried capers: 8/10 Second course - Caramelized Onion Soup Gratinée: 8/10 - Smoked Salmon Rillettes on sourdough: 7/10 Main course - Fried Chicken Paillard with frisée + tomato confit: 8.5/10 - Wagyu Beef Cheek Bourguignon: 8/10 Dessert - Profiteroles with salted caramel ice cream: 10/10 - Fraisier aux Fraises: 8/10 The vibe was there. The plating was gorgeous. But if you're booking a late table, go in knowing the energy might shift. Would I come back? Absolutely. Just not at 9:30.

I had a great meal at Chardon. Every dish was delicious, service was impeccable - our servers were attentive and thoughtful. Great decor and indoor atmosphere. I had the wagyu ribeye, it did not disappoint. The foie gras came in the form of macarons - super cute and creative.

Made reservations last minute about a week and they were able to accommodate table for 9. The interior is very beautiful, very romantic and chic. There's s good amount of seats and they even have a private room. We came during dinner time and enjoyed the Houston Restaurant week menu for $55. I had salad and duck and crème brûlée. Drinks are good, great selection between $16-20 very pretty. Lighting was perfect and it was not too loud . Parking is tough. Lot is small with other restaurants to share. - Valet $10.85 paid via app. Staff was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to come back for brunch.

Had the best time here last night. The decor is beautiful. The deviled eggs with caviar, steak au poivre, steak bordelaise, and Madeline dessert are must orders. All the desserts were delicious. The French martini was great, sweet but creamy strawberry flavor. I could go here just for the bread and butter. The only thing I would pass on is the escargot. It tasted mainly of puff pastry and radish. The sommelier and GM were so nice!

The sumptuous decor envelopes you upon entry. The ambiance is elegant yet comfortable. The service was spectacular! This quality of service is very hard to find. The anticipation of our needs exceed our expectations. David Hernandez is server extraordinaire. Oh the menu and food! We had many of the items. Each dish was flawlessly prepared, the perfect temperature with extraordinary, balanced flavors. The offerings are inviting and even a picky eater will be pleased. The bread and butter is truly the best in Houston.

Beautiful, new French restaurant in the Thompson Hotel. Arriving at 9pm, the restaurant was lively, loud and vibrant. We were sat in the bar area, which disappointed some but the service and meal made up for the table location. We started with an appetizer Bisous tower that gave a sample of their greatest hits. The foie gras macaron was a stand out. The Crab Endive "Caesar" was different, excellent. The duck entree was served two ways - confit and the classic breast in a fig reduction. Literally two entrees as one. Very good. The wine list leans a little pricey but nothing more than other good establishments in Houston. Drop in for a beautiful and tasty meal.

Dined in on a Saturday at 9 pm with a party of 4, the hostess couldn't find my reservation in their system so I showed her my email confirmation. Request for David! He's such a doll and remembered all of our names! The only table available was right in front of the door. It was extremely windy and cold, and the door kept swinging wide open and getting stuck. The restaurant is romantic and very cute! Every thing we ordered was delicious! Cocktails are on point. We ordered: Complimentary bread and butter: so addicting! 1/2 dozen raw PEI oysters: super clean and shucked to perfection 1/2 dozen boiled oysters Rockefeller: creamy goodness! Great flavors. Spice pouched gulf shrimp: good size shrimp but the spice didn't have any flavor Crab & endive Caesar: delicious flavors 16oz Wagyu ribeye: our server didn't ask how we wanted it cooked but he some how knew we liked it medium rare. It was cooked perfectly! The ribeye was so tender! The au poivre sauce in top of the steak was very good. It came with a small order of crispy fries and the PERFECT garlic aioli! Côte d'Azur spiritz: tastes like lychee, not sweet, and super refreshing! Au Revoir: nice mezcal goodness Dirty martini: perfect dirtiness Side car: perfectly made

One and done for me. I'm a firm believer that if you're paying premium prices, everything needs to be on point--service, food, and overall experience. Unfortunately, this place missed the mark. Yes, the restaurant is very pretty, and the ambiance was lovely, but that's where the positives end. The service was subpar. Our waiter was noticeably cranky and borderline aggressive, making us uncomfortable to even ask for something simple like extra bread. We ended up asking a very kind gentleman in a suit (who wasn't even our server) instead, just to avoid the attitude. The food? Decent, but definitely not "out of this world" French cuisine. For the price, I expected something more refined and memorable. What really bothered us, though, was the way we were treated compared to the table next to us--who happened to be of a different ethnicity. It felt like we weren't given the same level of attention or care, and that left a really bad impression. Calling yourself a fine dining restaurant doesn't make you one. It's about the full package--from the welcome at the door to the quality of the food and the professionalism of the staff. Sadly, this place didn't deliver.

Beautiful restaurant! We went to celebrate a birthday and we were greeted with a handwritten birthday card. Cocktails were tasty. Must get the onion soup! Everything we got was a 10/10! And to end the night, they gave us a birthday dessert

Actually thought this restaurant would be super fancy cause it's in the Thompson Hotel but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't! There were folks dressed up but also lots of folks dressed casually. It was an impromptu dinner after some shopping so we were not dressed up at all. We didn't feel uncomfortable though.. the food was decently priced and my first assumption was that it was small small portions - this was definitely not the case! They were decently sized and we ended up with more than enough food! The croque monsier gougeres bites were pretty delicious! I actually really liked the black truffle & escargot vol-au-vent! It comes with a flakey pastry and some sauce on top! Wish they had more escargots on top or at least some butter escargots on the menu! The crab & endive caesar was my least favorite - basically little endive boats of crab caesar. It was a bit on the bitter side, like any endive, guess it just wasn't my cup of tea. The caramelized onion soup was fantastic and I loved how rich it was with the oxtail buillon! I would get this again in a heart beat, especially when fall/winter rolls around. The gnocchi was delicious and I loved the chunky garlic tomato sauce! The Moules frites had a nice cream sauce and can't complain of duck fat fries! Service was lacking - we couldn't find our server anywhere and she was super duper slow! We actually ended up asking the GM for things cause he was more readily available. Overall, we enjoyed our experience! Ambiance for us was more like bar dining cause we sat in the seats/tables right in front of the bar. It was super tight in that area when people are actually at the bar. Restaurant seems pretty small and it is a lobby restaurant inside a hotel.

Lovely new restaurant at the Thompson Hotel. Interior is great for a romantic dinner or a catch up meal with girlfriends. Service was fantastic. Our servers were Abbie and Hector, and they made our birthday celebration feel very special. For starters, we had the Meyer cake, the stuffed crab, and the crab & endive salad. The stuffed crab was delicious, and the "Caesar" salad was refreshing and tasty. If you like smoked salmon and cream cheese, you'll enjoy the interesting take on the crepe cake. The meal was off to an excellent start! For entrees, we opted for the Dover sole because I'm a sucker for whole fish. We also got the gnocchi and a side of the duck fat fries. I've had the overpriced Dover at Carbonne in Las Vegas, and let me tell you, this Dover far exceeded that by flavor. The caper sauce was perfectly balanced with the seasoning of the fish, and the croutons on top gave a nice contrast in texture. I would recommend, but I hope this review doesn't make it too popular to where they'll drive their price up on it! The gnocchi is made in-house and was ever so crispy on the outside but filled with pillowy softness on the inside. Magnificent. Their duck fat fries were just ok for me - flavor wise: wonderful, but I do prefer my fries to be just a bit crispier. They ended our meal with a complimentary macaron ice cream sandwich for my friend's birthday. With a bottle of wine we ordered, it was a pricey meal, but the service, ambience, and quality of the food definitely matched. It was a really lovely evening, and I look forward to coming back to try the popular bourguignon! P.S. Parking is a bit tricky, so we opted to valet. The restaurant will validate your valet ticket for a discounted price. Instead of $30, we paid $10. Honestly, for a high end restaurant like this, I do feel they should have covered the valet cost as it could be a reason enough to not revisit more often.

From the moment you walk in, you feel the charm and character of the restaurant. We ordered the escargot in a perfect cooked pastry, their endive with crab which is fully packed with a lot of crab, and their beautifully cooked steak with frites. Our server and sommelier were extremely helpful that we enjoyed their suggestions and enjoyed our order. We would come back again!

We had a lovely evening at Chardon. The restaurant is beautiful, and the food was very good. *Bread service - The complimentary bread service, with butter and olive oil, was great. The bread was hot, and the server told me that a baker comes in each morning to make it fresh. *Stuffed crab - We had a couple of appetizers to share among the table, and the stuffed crab was the best. Just a bite or two for each of the four people at our table to share, and it was great. *Roasted chicken - The roasted chicken was perfectly cooked. Interestingly, it was served with a slice of toast that was soaked in chicken juice--it was good but a little different. *Sides - We tried the french fries, spinach, and green beans for table-shared sides. The truffle fries were great and served with an aioli sauce, and I really liked the spinach. The green beans weren't my favorite--they had some kind of grittiness, which was odd. The service was very nice and friendly, though it was pretty slow--it felt like we had to wait a while for everything. And they totally forgot our drink order but tried to playfully pretend like they knew it, which was awkward.

Great food and ambience as always. The tower is so fun! But.... BRITTANY FOR PRESIDENT!!

Great food service and atmosphere Cool hotel and outstanding craft cocktails Classic French food with a local twist

Food was amazing and the ambience is exceptional! I'm here today for brunch and I enjoyed my meal The bonus was a young man named Jacob who is a violinist, he came around to ask the tables if there's a song we would like to hear. I asked him to play 'Die with a smile' he killed it! Nice place I'm staying at the hotel and will definitely be back!

Excellent food Bisous tower Stuffed crab Duck And beef Bourgogne Rated 5 everything was great Ambiance Drinks etc well rate the $$$$

My friends and I had the pleasure of dining at Chardon. Right when we walked in, we were blown away with the beautiful decor and ambiance inside. I would highly recommend Gabriela as a server! Gabriela was wonderful with all of her recommendations and her service was spectacular. I appreciated her quickness with making sure we had clean plates and silverware between each course. Her attention to detail made our dining experience even better. Our table really enjoyed everything, from the cocktails, appetizers, entrees, and desserts! We ordered multiple dishes and shared family style so we could all sample each dish. Here were the fan favorites from our table: Cocktails: French 75 Appetizers: Bisous Tower, Black Truffle & Escargot Vol-Au-Vent, & Warm Leeks Vinaigrette Entrees: Maine Lobster Pot Pie, R-C Ranch Wagyu Beef Cheek Bourguignon Beef paired with the Pommes Aligot (thank you Gabriela for the recommendation!) Desserts: Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit Tart & Le Grande Macaron Au Chocolate

The experience at Chardon was disappointing at best. Chardon had been recommended to me by someone whose opinion I respect and we were excited to visit for our anniversary. While the service was slow and not very attentive, it could have been forgiven with good quality food. Some points for consideration: The cocktails were great, but it took some time from when I finished my first cocktail before I could order another one. The croque monsieur gougeres were terrible and inedible - my wife and I each took a bite and left the rest. We could have given feedback on this except our server did not return to check on the quality of the food. It appears that there was a cutout of the menu included with my food. Not sure why or what the purpose was, but not something I would expect and certainly not something I appreciated. I had requested for the burger to be cooked medium, it came out well done. Once again I was unable to give this feedback for quite some time as the server did not check on us. To their credit at least the flavor of the burger was good. Our macaroni gratin was served with some unknown plastic which was beyond disgusting to have to have in my mouth and spit out. See attached images. The greatest issue I had - if something like this were to have happened anywhere else the meal would have been fully comped, instead I had to pay money to have a bad experience, bad food, bad service, and literal trash in my food on my anniversary. We do not intend to return to Chardon.

Just opened this week. Excellent experience. The bisous tower was whimsical and delicious. The details were beautiful. French food with a Texas touch. Onion soup served with red wine like the medieval monks liked it. Beef Bourguignon was just perfect, melt in your mouth. We chose our meal for a very cold and rainy February night. Green chartreuse crème brûlée for dessert had a mild, beautiful flavor and was the perfect shareable with a Paul Prieur Sancerre. Service was knowledgeable and attentive, and just enough southern hospitality to feel relaxed. Our waiter was David. We will ask for him again.

Wife and I went for HRW dinner, and were a little scared based on recent reviews about sub-par service, but our waiter Rakevion was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional, as was everyone else we interacted with. The place is beautiful, and the food was for the most part amazing. Butter lettuce salad was fresh and light with a delicious dressing, French onion soup was rich and decadent, gnocchi and vegetables was sublime (one of the best things I've ever eaten), and the Almond Sponge, Strawberry Liqueur, Vanilla Diplomat, and Fresh Strawberries dessert was perfect. The seared tuna was just okay, seemed overcooked and not up to the standard of the other dishes, and the creme brulee was just fairly standard creme brulee, nothing to write home about (but my wife liked it). All in all a great experience, and we're very happy we went.

Lobster pot pie was amazing! Service was spot on and loved the decor. Restaurant group backed by a big name chef Michael Mina ... welcome to Houston!

Nice restaurants. Loved the French onion soup!! It was my husbands birthday---and they CHARGED for the birthday dessert ( that we didn't order). Also parking is a nightmare. Probably our first and last time. $32.00* for Vet parking BRW.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chardon, the food, service and the music was exceptional from start to finish. From the moment I stepped through the door, the warmth and elegance of the ambiance set the stage for what was to be an unforgettable gastronomic experience. The dishes were plated beautifully and tasted incredible. I highly recommend starting your experience with the Bisous tower. The restaurant's interior has been beautifully designed and captures the quintessential charm of a French restaurant, with soft lighting, beautiful table settings, and tasteful artwork. Houston's best new french restaurant in my opinion.

My wife and I stayed at the Thompson this weekend to celebrate our Babymoon. We decided to give Chardon a try and were not disappointed! The ambiance was great, service was excellent and food was tremendous. Hector and Autumn tended to our every need and were extremely kind and caring. Steak was cooked perfectly and the hors d'oeuvres were unique and delicious. We will definitely be back and will add this to our shortlist of favorite restaurants in Houston.

Came to see what the hype is all about at this restaurant. Yes you should be dressed business casual for this restaurant. The restaurant is decorated very plush and French so maybe on your best manners also. Valet in the front of the hotel or you can pay for a pay lot which equals out about the same money. The bread and butter given after you order is very good. The wait staff I guess is ok but if the chef want this to be top rated the staff has to be better. Some of the similar restaurants won't name which ones have much better service. Can tell also some of the bus boy or girls just riding the wave( looking like they r doing something but not) it's ok after covid unfortunately normal but should be looked down upon at a higher end restaurant. The appetizer tower most people get items are good ideas but the standouts are the madeleines and macros. Radish ??? Not sure why?? The oyster Rockefeller ok. The crepe Mille feuille good idea but gets redundant. The main duck was very good. The Dover sole looks good but not sure worth almost $100. Over a restaurant to check out but they need to improve before staff gets too comfortable.

Don't get me wrong, beautiful place and upscale all the way, but sort of expected a little more. I believe I was over charged a few items but didn't notice on bill till next day. I also think it's crazy to charge $11 for a bottle of still water. We had both still sparkling water but they didn't mention that still wasn't just tap water vs bottled. We had 4 bottles of water and just seemed to unnecessarily inflate the bill. Food was fine - nothing over the top. Dover sole and ribeyes were good. At times, service could have been better. Sharing salads but had no individual plates before salad. Could have bussed/clean table better - remove crumbs and debris in between courses. Supposed to be Fine Dining and needs some improvement.

Why fly to Paris when you can fly down Allen Parkway. Very civilized. Excellent bar! Completely different vibe than the restro across the parking lot. Can't wait to come back for dinner.

Charming restaurant with delicious food and very friendly service. My husband and I stopped by for a quick brunch and so happy we did. The French onion soup was absolutely the best I've had in the states. There was a young violinist (Jacob) who asked us to challenge him to play any song even if he didn't know it (we asked for West End Girls from Pet Shop Boys). Very talented young musician.

I made a reservation for my birthday for a large party, and I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to sit in a private room. The decor and aesthetics are beautiful. The service was amazing. They were very patient with a large group, especially close to closing. I believe our waiter was, Rakevion, who was amazing and made the experience 10/10. I tried the pastry basket, the chocolate croissant was great, the iced coffee was okay- they have no flavors available but quality is the coffee was fine. I got the croissant Benedict which was amazing. The croissant twist made it amazing and very tasty. I had the French toast as well which was great. I received the macron ice cream sandwich for my birthday which was also amazing. My friends enjoyed their food as well. Would recommend and would go again.

This was an exceptional experience. The room is beautiful, the service was great and the food was over the top. We had the beef cheek and the duck. WOW. I'm not normally a fan of duck confet but this was a pleasant surprise. So glad we went and can't wait to go back. Thanks for an amazing evening.

Went on a Saturday around 8:45 pm and added our names to the waitlist. My friend and I prefer the bar so we were happy when 3 chairs became available as we approached (we were a party of 2). Unfortunately, someone came and told my friend that someone had been waiting longer for his chair so he had to give it up. There was no reserve sign and most bars are first come first serve. It wasn't a nice feeling to say the least. Once seated, the table was super uncomfortable. Which is fine. I will say the food was lovely and the poivre sauce was prepared exceptionally. The bordelaise sauce needed to be thickened but the flavor was there. The aioli for the fries was sublime. The foie gras plate should be called something else since it takes up less than half of the ingredients/components. The part that is difficult to overcome was the service and time it took to get anything. My friend had an empty drink and wasn't offered a new one (~15 mins empty). We drank our bottle of water and were never offered another one. We also were not given the option for regular water. I ordered a bottle of wine when ordering our apps and asked them to open it and let it breathe and to serve it with our entrees. There was no room at the table for the bottle. The server never brought out the wine to open and air until just before our entree was served. I was told that the vintage I wanted was no longer available and asked what the price difference was which took another 5 to 8 minutes to find out. And then the server opened it, let me taste it, and then placed it behind us without asking us if we wanted to start enjoying it (at this point the apps were gone). So we grabbed it and poured it for ourselves. It felt like we were hardly checked on which I found interesting with so many people working. At the end of the day, we felt unwelcome and frankly, not valued. I'm not sure why that is. I am in hospitality and typically have no complaints, but this experience still has me contemplating it after two weeks.

My brother reserved a room for private dining. It was for his wife's 40th birthday. The food was very good. Everything tasted fresh. The service is 2nd to none. I'd definitely go back to Chardon

The food, the service, it was 10:30pm and restaurant was almost full! There drinks are very original like their tequila martini with blue cheese olives.

Amazing food. On the expensive side, but it's one of the best experiences you'll have. Great service too, especially the somallier!

We celebrated out 45th anniversary here last night and it was exceptional in every way. The staff is friendly and expert in their service. The food was delicous from starters to entrees to dessert. Even the drink presentations went beyond special (the martinis with the mini carafe on the side was creative and classy). We can't wait to have another special occasion to celebrate to come back to this very special restaurant. It is very expensive but cheaper than trip to Paris and without the jet lag :)

Chardon is a beautiful setting with a French flair- the food is espectacular and the service is good; even though, it's a new restaurant. The Cheff is doing a great job.
