Chef Dave's

My wife and I have enjoyed this restaurant twice over now! Last night, we started with southwestern grilled shrimp, then enjoyed our main courses of halibut and prime filet. We also enjoyed a side of the mac and cheese. As for drinks, we enjoyed sparkling water and an espresso martini. Excellent service and food as always.

Chef Dave elevates the classics. The menu, even in Chestnut Hill, is unpretentious. The proteins are cooked and seasoned to perfection. I got the salmon which is seasoned with curry. The curry did not over power and I left knowing I had to come back because I was going to think about that dish. The Ribeye special may have been even better. A perfect special occasion spot and a far better meal than the other high end places in the area. Enjoy!

Everything about this place was incredible! They made it easy to change a reservation, parking was simple, and the outdoor patio was so cute we said we felt like we were in Miami. The food was exceptional. Fresh ingredients and made with love. The Greek touches from the water to the dessert were also impressive. Will definitely be returning and telling everyone about it!

The food is magnificent. Ribs are the best I ever had. Halibut with spinach was perfect, every bite a treat. Chocolate mouse was perfection. Shrimp appetizer was very good but not as outstanding as everything else I tried. Crazy expensive yet it seemed worth it

First time at Chef Dave’s , one of the best meals i’ve ever had ! Had the strip special med rare with horseradish mashed and farm fresh asparagus . Steak was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth . Chef recommended a delicious red wine to go with the meal and it was perfect. Thank you Chef Dave can’t wait to come back .

This place was a huge disappointment. I made a reservation for 5pm for my birthday dinner. We wanted to order the crab cakes as an appetizer, but were told that they wouldn’t be ready until later. Really? You didn’t prepare something to be ready by the start of dinner service on a Saturday night? Within 20 minutes a server was asking us order our dinner entrees. I told her we hadn’t looked at the menu yet. Within 5 minutes another server came over insisting that we order our entrees, telling us that they had another reservation coming in at 7 and needed us to hurry up. Super rude, but we ordered. The food took 40 minutes to come out, and we did not order anything that would have required that long. When the food finally came out, it was extremely lackluster bordering on terrible. I ordered the lobster carbonara, which was basically just bland pasta with lobster chunks in it. My friend got the prime filet, which was absolutely disgusting. The other two entree were the appetizer ribs and a swordfish. We barely had time to eat before the server was asking us if we wanted boxes. Because it was my birthday, we ordered a dessert. It was some kind of caramel cake that was not good at all. We paid our bill and had to stop the server because one of us was literally still getting our card out when she took the check! At 6:58, the server came up to our table to tell us we needed to leave because her next reservation was there. Absolutely rude and unwelcoming service and terrible (expensive!!!) food. Avoid this place!

Chef Dave’s truly shines as a gem in the culinary world. His establishment is a rare find where exceptional service, exquisite cuisine, and finely crafted drinks converge seamlessly. Every dish is a testament to his passion and unwavering attention to detail, creating an unforgettable dining experience that I believe everyone deserves to enjoy. I find myself drawn back time and time again, not only for the delectable food but also for the genuine hospitality that makes each visit feel like a warm welcome home. Thank you for consistently surpassing expectations and crafting moments that linger long after the meal is over.

Great place for the absolute meat lovers with a solid wallet We enjoyed the appetizers - ribs - shrimps - duck wings And different entrees - steak - lamb rack - chicken All were delicious What we would love to see for the 5th star - somewhere to hang your coat so it does not have to be on your chair and hang on the ground - transparency on wine and their prices. We were informed there was no wine list we could pick out any bottle from the shelf, like how would we know anything on that bottle - further transparency on prices when educating on the menu (items with MKt price ans specials) so peeps don’t have to ask for it
