Chi Chi Restaurant

Yummy lunch at Chi Chi! We sat by the pool in a very nice resort like setting within the Avalon hotel. The restaurant is dog-friendly. We ordered the blackened salmon tacos and the crab tostada, both very tasty. The cocktails were great too, we got the Apollo and Jalisco colada. Friendly service. Recommend for a relaxing meal!

Great food offering for an hotel restaurant. They do serve the full menu on site, next to the lobby, but also offer a limited menu in case you order around the pool. Last but not least the room service menu also comes from there

The food was delicious and the portions filling. The ambiance was quaint and cozy. Truffle waffle fries were quite flavorful as was the Cobb salad.

Food comes out fast. We made reservations last minute for happy hour brunch. The burger was good and truffle fries. The breakfast burrito was bland in my opinion and the apollo drink was amazing. There is a 4% surcharge to each bill and that is on top of tipping for whole bill. Free street parking is available. Staff is friendly.

The staff at Chi Chi went above and beyond during our recent stay at The Avalon. The service during poolside brunch along with the quality of food and drinks were all so good. Menu highlights would definitely be the Breakfast Burrito, Açaí Bowl, Double Cheeseburger, and of course the Chi Chi Margarita. Sending a special shout out to Eloy and Brian who looked after us while we were at the Regency Pool for the several days we were there. They were both so friendly and efficient, and we cannot wait to stop by Chi Chi again on our next Palm Springs visit.

Fantastic food while I stayed at the hotel. Service was superb and the ingredients super fresh

Amazing new menu, every bite savory and delicious. Desserts were sweet, mouthwatering and a perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Red Sangria, Wings, Bolognese, Warm Fresh Cookies and Trifle were stupendous. Give yourself a treat a pay them a visit.

Came here for Sunday brunch with a friend. The food was amazing, and the outside patio by the pool was very chill and relaxing. Drinks were prepared well, and the waiters/food servers were super nice and accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend this place! I will definitely be back when visiting Palm Springs.

Amazing staff very friendly, attentive to your needs. The food is delicious I really love the young coconut drink, açaí bowl and the tuna tartare tostada It's the bomb!!

Stopped here for their restaurant week menu. Selected the roasted sweet potato and wedge salad to start. Both were very tasty. The one entree was salmon and the other was a broccoli steak (vegetarian). Both were very good. The restaurant was small, waiter was excellent, and the food was very good. There is a small bar - the ambiance is okay

Breakfast portions to share! The restaurant offers substitutions (Gluten Free and Vegan). Had the breakfast sandwiches. The GF bread didn't fall apart and held well with the spread and egg. A rare find for a sandwich. Pack a ton of flavor and served with two hash browns. Recommend mixing your hot sauce with ketchup for the perfect dip. Had the chilaquiles on day two of my visit. Really big portion. Would recommend sharing. Side salad and avocado are a great addition. Cold brew is from a can but they selected a great cold brew to offer. Ordered the green juice to go. Had a great flavor and tastes fresh. Servers are friendly and fast. Very clean location. The hotel and this restaurant are everything you hope for in a Palm Springs stay.

Smelled like toilets and sewage inside and out, walked in and was hit by the smell of sewage. Inside was very quiet and the outside was desolate. The music was almost silent. Servers were quite friendly. Food was pricy and very average. Took about 30 minutes to bring the food out (we were the only people there). Was super dark, eating was more like a guessing game than a meal

We had a wonderful time dining here tonight. Bright, welcoming space, fantastic team, and absolutely delicious food. They have so many specials for different days of the week. I might just have to return for Margarita Mondays. They recognize locals, and I really appreciate that! Also, thanks Sarah for a wonderful experience!!

Stopped in today, and this is now one of our favorite little Palm Springs bars! It is small, intimate, but really cool vibe. Our bartender, John was the best, and struck up a wonderful conversation with an interesting couple from the UK who have lived here 40 yrs and been married 56 years! Chi Chi's has happy hour daily 3-6 pm. I had a Summer Sol cocktail w/ rose vodka, rose wine, mango boba (delightful), and a splash of soda - light and refreshing ($10) and a really tasty white sangria, not too sweet, w/ white wine, peach schnapps, rosemary simple syrup and lemon (just $8). My husband had the Garden Cooler cocktail w: gin, cucumber, basil and lime (very tasty, $10) and nice glass of Sonoma rose ($11). They also have apps - guac and salsa; truffle fries; crudite, ricotta gnocchi, Napa cabbage salad, fried chicken sliders and beef sliders, just $10-12. Loved it, and will definitely be returning!

Pool service is great with attentive and friendly staff. The restaurant itself is a bit of a different story. We went in for breakfast and the only patrons inside. They were trimming the poolside greenery and the ambience is a very cool vibe. The food itself was ok at best. I had eggs that were cooked to order but the chicken sausage was massively overcooked to the point the ends were burnt. The gluten free toast was the BEST GF a read I have ever had. All in all, I love the Avalon resort and a couple of burnt sausages won't keep me from giving this establishment 5 stars. Next time I want to try their salad that looked incredible.

My fiancée and I dined at CHi CHi while staying in Palm Springs from LA. It's nice that it's in the Avalon, and tucked back from the main boulevard. Overall a little more quiet and intimate whether dining inside or outside (always nice to be by a pool). We had the chilaquiles, which were great by any standards. A nice spice level, tasty crema and loved the texture of the chips (not hard, not soggy, just right). I recommend getting the egg over easy so it binds everything together. Service was great, very laid back, attentive and friendly. Always love asking for their favorites. Extra points for having an espresso machine and fresh juices. Overall, a nice breath of fresh air and a good selection of different items for any dining mood.

Was in Palm Springs for my bachelorette party and stopped here for some tapas before going out. Definitely recommend ordering all the apps and sharing! Our favorites were the skewers, the gnocchi, and the truffle fries. The cherry on top was the PB&j cheesecake for dessert! Ambiance was great and it was the perfect weather to sit outside. Big shoutout to our server Alfredo who was so patient and kind!!! Will definitely be back next time I'm visiting Palm Springs.

Overall, a great experience at CHi CHi at The Avalon hotel. We had dinner & drinks at the restaurant and we all enjoyed our meals. We all shared the grilled broccolini which was a smaller appetizer and I had a margarita & petite wedge salad w/ chicken for my meal. To end off the night we had espresso martinis (best I've ever had) & chocolate cookies. This is the perfect spot for dinner or just drinks & appetizers.

Menu prices have significantly increased. Looks and feels like it badly needs updates inside to match menu prices. Service prompt and very friendly. Didn't stay to eat.

The hotel has gone downhill since it was the Viceroy. The floors and carpet are dirty. The cool outdoor furniture has been replaced. Not the great vibe it used to be. Food and menu mediocre. BUT! The wait staff was amazing! They were attentive and friendly. I may just go back because of them.

I came here w some friends of mine for my friend's birthday. Ambiance: The decor was so cute. Place was very quiet at first on a Saturday night. We were the only people there, other than a couple. Service: The service was good but honestly it was very slow. It took awhile to get us our drinks and food. Which was fine, just puzzling since there wasn't many people there other than us. Our server was nice and friendly but she wasn't super attentive. Over the night the place did get busier, so I understand why. Food: Honestly I found the food very mediocre, especially considering the pricing and quantity of food we got. I got the chicken fried oyster mushrooms and the mushrooms itself were good, I didn't care too much for the flavor of the dipping sauce. I also got the pasta and it was ok, it seemed to be lacking flavor and salt, perhaps? Meh. My friends all got burgers and they were good. The onion dip also was just okay, chips were good though! Drinks however, were good. We got a free dessert for my friend's bday and I enjoyed it. It was very kind of the restaurant to offer her one. Overall thoughts: while our server was very kind, the food left much to be desired. I don't think I personally will ever return. My friends shared the same sentiment.

Um... this is a tiny little bar inside a tiny little hotel. There was nothing special. Idk why it showed up on so many travel reviews on social media, but it ain't it. We were the only ones there.... kinda depressing. The chicken sandwich was good tho.

I love Chi Chi. I stayed at the Avalon for one night and I was so sad to leave the next day. I called my husband and told him I regretted not listening to him to stay more than a night because I didn't have enough stomach space to eat all the good food at Chichi's. The service was spectacular. Everyone was so nice, from the front desk to the valet and the bartender at Chi Chi's. You would think that it would feel stuffy because the place looked so pretty but it was the most chill hotel I've ever been to. I ordered the grilled octopus for dinner as well as a virgin mojito and I was upset I didn't order a double portion of the food. Also missed breakfast because I had to run to pick someone up from the airport but I swear I'm coming back ASAP and staying at least a week!

This is my second visit to Chi Chi at the Avalon. My first visit was to die for, this one wasn't so great. The fruit salad was dramatically different. I expected a huge fruit salad and it was a fraction of the size for the same price! There were no cucumbers, no jicama, etc...no wow factor. All the server told me was that the menu changed. Trust me, change it back to what it was please or I'll never return or tell anyone about this place. The ladies I dined with enjoyed their French toast and my Avalon breakfast was good. The drinks were good. Praying the next time I return to Chi Chi, I won't be so disappointed. ...and yes, I know I'm only complaining about the fruit salad but that was the reason I came back to bring friends.

Was really looking forward to dining here but everything just didn't work. Nice setting, typical Palm Springs but lacks a bit of charm. Service was not bad but the kitchen was very slow considering there were only 2 other tables seated. The double breaded pork chop was very dry (server mentioned the kitchen likes to make sure the pork is well cooked) the turnips were good and so was the corn bread but broken into tiny crumbs and not enough for flavor or texture. A nice small portion of it would be much nicer or at least broken into bigger crumbs, or like croutons. My husband had the salmon which was good but again the composition of the dish needs a lot more attention at the proportions and what's on the plate. The salmon was topped with the gremolata and underneath was about a teaspoon of the poblano crema and that's it. Nice asparagus, potatoes or any other vegetable needs to be there especially for how much it is.

Our friend hyped this place up for brunch and it was so worth it! They sat us in the sun by the pool. The vibe was serene, a perfect spot to eat and chill after a long night. Their piña on ice was very good, and light enough to drink at 10:30am. We had breakfast burritos and French toast, both were tasty. Would absolutely recommend the burrito, and I couldn't get enough of the salsa verde they came with. The service was excellent - they even cracked the coconut that my drink came in on request. Definitely come here for brunch!

The only reason I gave 2 instead of 1 star was the service. This restaurant is in the hotel where we are staying, which we love! (The Avalon) The 4-star reviews and the fact that we're laying by the pool today made this a no-brainer for lunch. The outdoor patio is interesting. It's just across the very small pool from the pool chairs, which makes one feel a bit self-conscious about laying out in front of business people and ladies who lunch. The drinks are good--I had the watermelon splash. The food was disappointing and overpriced. We shared the garlic fries and the spicy caesar with chicken ($24). The fries, in my opinion, were a bit undercooked. They were pale and floppy. The caesar was the biggest disappointment. First, we didn't get our chicken so they brought it later--4 strips of bland, flavorless chicken. The dressing was flavorless. There were grocery store croutons. Even I make my own croutons! The cherry tomatoes didn't fit the salad. It was awful! Here's the worst part--they also failed to put the chicken on the salad of the table next to us and comped her chicken. Our chicken was on our bill. I will not eat here again. (If you still want to try it, the salmon lox looked edible.)

The Avalon is such a cute hotel, I was looking forward to trying this place out. The service was top notch and they were always checking on us to make sure we weren't too cold and had what we needed. It's also fun to be sitting close to the pool. We started with the shrimp cocktail verde that had hearts of palm, celery, and a creamy old bay dressing. It was very good, just very small! I had avocado toast with a fried egg, which is normally pretty hard to mess up. There was a note about harissa spice on it, but it was swimming in it, way too much to taste good. Overall it was a pleasant environment but a little overpriced at $24 for an iffy avocado toast.

Adorable hotel in the ps area. The food was good. Would recommend here more for appetizers and drinks. It consists of a very chill and relaxing ambiance. Very quiet if you're looking for a place to talk and enjoy drinks.

Food was in such small portions. Waiters were slow. Fresh squeezed juice came from a plastic bottle from the local store. It was extremely hot under the tent they put us in and when we asked to be moved they refused.

The name should be CaChing! CaChing! First of all the atmosphere was average to ordinary, and the tables were right next to people slapping suntan lotion all over themselves and jumping in and out of the pool. Frankly I wasn't happy with that, especially when I was being charged over $100 for a very moderate breakfast for two in the morning apparently, this place is a tourist rip off and I was really resentful having to spend that kind of money for breakfast we only had two egg dishes with toast and potatoes (albeit very large portions) and two juices...that's it!! $110 including a 20% tip come on! To be fair, the food was good but getting ripped off negates that entirely.

Food and ambience was great, very romantic atmosphere. I dined here on October 2nd and Sarah our server was excellent, friendly and happy. Great vegan options as well.

Getting there: Located inside the Avalon Hotel, there is street parking and valet during the day. If you walk to the back you will get to the restaurant. Experience: Came here with a friend as his suggestion. We got there closer to closing time so we were able to sit wherever. This place is such a vibe. Tables all surrounding the pool in the courtyard of the hotel. The food was surprisingly amazing as well. I ordered the hangar steak and my friend ordered the summer salad. I believe this place gets packed during the day so I would be sure to make a reservation before.

Wow right when you step in welcomed by some beautiful Koi fish and as you walk in greeted by the staff who are friendly as well food was great nice ambiance as well !! I'll be coming back !! :)

This was a meh for me. If you're going here, don't sit inside. The real attraction is the outdoor seating. We sat inside and multiple tables were dirty. The service was fine...but for lunch on a Sunday a little inattentive. The menu is a little too basic for the area...again, the Turkey Club was fine...but nothing special (and a little pricey). This won't get a repeat from me. There's more interesting and nicer for this price point.

Enjoyed the crab cake Benedict. Not so much the Brussels sprouts salad. Guests loved the French toast and waffle. Nice place. Noisy music too loud.

Food was EXTREMELY salty. We had the croque madame and the wraps. Waiter just came to get our order and to pick the plates. In my opinion the service was like whatever. It would have been nice if he had dropped by to ask about our food in between so I could have at least told him that the food was saltyyy. I couldn't flag anyone because there was no one near to at least tell them. The wraps were small SALTY bites so I ate it but definitely not worth $20. The croque was a good size but just way too salty. I had the strawberry banana drink which was definitely not worth $12. It was strawberry and bananas mixed with water. Something I could have done at home. Place is nicely decorated and they have plenty of outdoor seating and clean. Would I go back? Definitely not.

So happy to have an excellent brunch spot to call home anytime we visit Palm Springs! Perfect place to enjoy a slow wake up with fresh espresso, delicious chilaquiles and fresh squeezed juices.

Seated immediately with a reservation. Waiter was prompt and attentive. Apollo and the desert jewel drinks were really good. We ordered the mezze platter, sweet potato, and bread and butter. It was a lot of food for two people. The tzatizki in the mezze platter was a little clumpy for my tastes, the guacamole was just ok (lacked flavor), presentation was outstanding. The bread and butter was nice - might have enjoyed it more if I had it as an appetizer instead of with the meal. The sweet potato was really good- the veganaise was delicious -it was a nicely plated shared plate. The ambiance is relaxing. Nice photo op under the tree with a waterfall.

If you don't read anything else, read this -- GET THE PALOMA. While I'm generally more into margaritas, and don't love how bitter Paloma's can be, theirs is anything but bitter. It is literally what dreams are made of, and I'll be honest, I'm probably only gonna talk about the Paloma in this review. A huge fan of Palm Springs, as I visit at least twice a year coming in from LA... Also a huge fan of The Avalon because the vibes, service, and character of the hotel/grounds are unmatched. I've had the pleasure of John (who I believe is the manager?) making drinks for myself and anyone I'm with more than a couple of times, but have never had a Paloma that was less than stellar coming from behind the bar at Chi Chi. The rest of the food is also awesome. The outdoor area surrounding the pool is gorgeous. Also, the pool that the restaurant surrounds (because the Avalon has 3) is kid-free, making it a quiet, adult oasis for sun bathers and warm-weather brunchers alike. Very mellow vibes, the music is better than good, and there are even little cabana tables with misters when it's scorching hot. Paloma. Paloma. John. Paloma.

If you are happy to overpay for food in order to hang out at a restaurant that has a cool vibe - this place is for you!!! The ambiance is great. Service is awesome. Just absolutely staggering how much the food costs. They have a dish that is literally just a piece of cauliflower with some sauce and stuff, and it costs $25. We enjoyed our meal, and the ice cream cookie sandwich is incredible. Just iffy on whether I'd go back. Oh - and they did that thing where they charge you 20% gratuity for a party of 6+ and then ask you for tip, almost like they're trying to trick you into tipping 38%. That rubbed me the wrong way too.

yummy food! good service and a amazing ambiance. best lemon curd ever! i recommend the lemon curd and chia seed waffles.

we were there for our anniversary, looking for a wonderful experience...IT WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. We ordered 2 different salads, the chop salad with steak and the caesar salad with salmon. Both were awful, the chop salad was just thrown on a plate with a steak on the side, not much taste in either, the presentation looked like something you would buy in a grocery store, the Caesar salad dressing was flavorless and looked like a watered down store bought dressing where they added too much mayo, it was inedible , the presentation also looked like it was thrown on a plate with absolutely no thought or design. I would not recommend this establishment

Beauitful poolside dining experience. Limited dinner menu. Good sized portions. Great food . Friendly staff. I recommend the Rigatoni with sausage.

CHi CHi is located inside a hotel. It's a small little restaurant next to the pool so you do get some view. Unfortunately, the day we went it was raining so we couldn't really sit outside. The food is good, but the pricing is definitely overpriced. A lot of what we wanted and saw on Yelp was not offered that day. Nothing I found was extraordinary that I will go back and try again. It was an okay experience for me.

Fun pool side brunch with rum cocktails served in fresh coconuts. Soothing turmeric latter was delightful as well. What's not to like?!

We are no strangers to paying a hefty price for a fine meal, but this was not one of those times. This was just legal theft. We thought a Valentine's Day dinner, poolside at a charming boutique hotel, sounded like a wonderful idea. No. Just no. Chi Chi was not easy to find. It's hidden on a dark street, with almost no lighting or signage, no "open curb" in front and no valet parking. Once inside the tiny indoor bar/dining area, the noise level was through the roof. There was absolutely nothing charming about the room. Outdoors, where we were seated, was equally unappealing. Poor lighting. Stone tables and benches. No place mats or tablecloths. No flickering little candles or tiny vases of cut flowers. No place settings or even salt and pepper shakers . . . . Just a cold, plain stone table and a bench. The area had not even been swept, so there were leaves and branches everywhere and the staff had to haul over huge heating lamps once we were seated. We felt like we were dining in a utility shed. The food? A Prix Fixe menu that looked reasonable but was not. We started with a half dome of solid iceburg lettuce, smothered in blue cheese, with a couple of cherry tomatoes on the side, which they called a "Baby Wedge Salad." OK. Nothing special but not much there to screw up either. The mains were a disaster and I think chef was trying to hide them. The mediocre steak was hidden under a pile of arugula and had no flavor. My soggy, limp whole Branzino, not even deboned, was also completely hidden under . . . something. Flavorless mush. Both dishes included a "fingerling potato." Note my use of the singular, there. Desert was a ramakin of crème Brule, with a couple of berries and a squirt of Reddi Whip. Add 2 beverages, 2 coffees and a tip and the bill for all of this came to an astounding $378.00. We had to wait forever for the server to actually bring a bill, though I will say that everyone was very, very nice. I love it when they smile while picking your pocket.

This is a cute little place tucked away in the Avalon. We ate near the pool on very non impressive chairs and table. The tables and chairs under the cabana area looked much nicer and more comfortable. The bar was area was very cute. The menu was small with not much to choose from. Prices were medium. We had the appetizer which was like a mezze plate with 3 dips. It was very hardy but the pita bread was less than impressive (definitely not homemade and not from a specialty shop) They did however supply a lot of fresh veggies with the dips. The dips were fine but not amazing. The hummus was interesting. It had a different flavor that I couldn't place. We then split the Lamb lollipops and a side of sauteed veggies. The lamb was delectable - A+ but it was served with more mediocre pita bread ( a lot) and mediocre tzakiki. The sauteed veggies were also amazing. I am giving this 3 stars because only the lamb and sauteed veggies were amazing and everything else was very mediocre including the table and chairs. We also had a very inconsistent wait staff and when we were ready to leave we could not find anyone to get our check for us.

We came here on Saturday for brunch. The restaurant was located in a little hotel by the pool. It was a cute little spot. SERVICE - The waitstaff was nice. They were just very formal so they did not have that warm and fuzzy interaction with you. Basically offered you drinks and took your order. FOOD Breakfast Burrito - 3/4 adults in our group got the breakfast burrito. I love breakfast burritos and get them everywhere. These were standard. Overall a solid burrito with your normal eggs, tater tots, avo, etc. The only thing about this burrito was that I could not justify that $18 tag on it. You could get this quality of a burrito (and bigger) at other restaurants for much lower. So price of the burrito did not make sense. Avalon Breakfast - Our friend got this dish and she requested poached eggs. She said they were some of the best poached eggs she has had. This was a cute little spot but food and price were not worth it.

I got the turkey wrap with the side salad. The side salad was impressive, definitely larger and more veggies than I expected. The turkey wrap was delicious. Sometimes wraps are dry - but this one had an excellent sauce. The bacon really complimented and gave a nice crunch to the wrap. I had a grapefruit mimosa as well, and tasted the ginger pressed juice. Id say go with another mimosa flavor, but the pressed juice was amazing. Eating outside by the pool was a blast as well! Really beautiful environment. Service was decent.

Cute spot in a cool hotel but failed miserable in terms of service and food was wholly underwhelming . We waited 10 minutes plus before being acknowledged by the wait staff and waited over 30 minutes for breakfast. Definitely not the way I wanted to start my day.

Decided to have lunch here even though we weren't staying at the hotel. We love Norma's at the Parker PS, and since this hotel claims to have a similar mid-century vibe, we thought we'd check it out. We should've just gone to Norma's. The host was not the friendliest, to start with. We asked for a mask because my spouse had forgotten his, and it's always nice to have one just in case. The host said she didn't have one and didn't even bother to check with the bar or the front desk (where we eventually were able to get one). The food was good, but definitely priced on the high side. Again, we could've gotten better quality food for pretty much the same prices and a better experience at Norma's or elsewhere. Our server was the best part of the lunch: she was friendly and made us feel welcome. Unless you're at this hotel and don't want to leave because you're poolside, I'd skip Chi Chi.

We arrived for brunch on Sunday at a half-empty restaurant and pool area. We were told there was no space available at the tables by Michelle ("the manager"). She said they were all reserved and flippantly sat us at the bar (a group of 5). After about 15 minutes, the bartender asked if we'd like a beverage and something to eat. As we were talking to ourselves and losing track of time, I heard a commotion in the kitchen, about 10 feet from my seat. As I hear yelling and screaming, I see the chef walk out of the kitchen and the restaurant. The woman screaming was the manager, Michelle, who seated us. Keeping to our conversation, we wondered where the food was. It was about an hour at this point. The bartender comes over and tells us that the chef just quit on the spot and that the food order will take longer than expected. Soon after, the front desk manager came to apologize, tried to explain the situation, and offered us two complimentary cocktails for a group of 5. We were told our food would be up shortly. It wasn't. We were approaching an hour and forty-five minutes of waiting for our food. Michelle never came out of the kitchen as voices grew louder, with the staff's demeanor changed. By this time, the restaurant was almost empty. We picked up our things and walked out on the verge of losing our wits.  No one tried to appease the situation or take ownership of their mismanagement. The horrible treatment of staff in front of customers is unacceptable in any condition, especially here. Moral of the story: treat your staff and customers with the respect they deserve. Leave your attitude at home.

Small restaurant a little dated. Service was good we arrived close to 6 pm asked if we had reservations we did not. Restaurant was not busy so they sat us right away. Recommend you make reservations if you plan to eat during dinner prime time. As we were leaving the restaurant was full. Food was good nothing fancy portions matched the menu prices. Plenty of parking nearby and within walking distance to downtown

Food is quick and delicious. The poolside service is spectacular and the staff is extremely attentive. All items are adjustable to your preference. I highly recommend the date smoothie as well.

I've never had a bad meal at Chi Chi's! I look forward to dining here everytime I stay at the Avalon. I've had everything from their breakfast burrito to lox and toast to their breakfast sandwich with tots....and it's always so delicious, flavorful and well prepared. The portion sizes are also filling. This last visit, while at the pool, I tried the halibut fish sandwich for the first time and it was so flavorful and moist and high quality. The gentleman sitting nearby must've heard me gushing over my fish sandwich because he confirmed with me which item it was that I had ordered and proceeded to order the same one. :) Love you Chi Chi's. Keep up the great food and service!

Had a very similar experience to the other left on VDay. I'll add that a 20% gratuity was added to bill when we got it and called a 20% service charge, then tax, then $10 wellness fee plus $95 x2 + 3 drinks cost. Total came to over $400. Didn't feel like a $400 dinner experience, so we checked the bill more closely and noticed a place to check off the tip, in addition to the service charge. Looks like the hope is you leave 2 tips (without realizing it) with the 2nd very generous one based on all charges incl. 1st tip.
