The Chew Chew - Riverside

We have loved Chew Chew since it was on the other side of the tracks. In its new location it not only improved on on indoor and outdoor eating. The size of the restaurant now can serve more customers on the main floor and has a second floor to serve evenmore customers. There is a great bar ???? ???? if there is a wait! When the three of us went Chew Chew was nearly full. Thestaff managed to offer either of two booths. The many food and menu choices were great as always. The staff was courteous andefficient! A 5 star restaurant!

Server was borderline rude. Three of 4 meals were good. I ordered the steak Sandwich. Let?s just say I?ve had better steak sandwiches for $8 instead of $18. After paying the tab the server never came back. He ended up with a 28% tip?.

Appetizers: Steamed Mussels 5/5 My first time having mussels so I'm not the best judge, but they were excellent Poutine 5/5 Also my first time having Poutine, but it was excellent Dinner: Surf and turf (Filet Mignon Scallops) 3/5 This wasmy only disappointment of the night and would never order again. Scallops and asparagus were perfect, mashed potatos were goodbut needed a little more seasoning for my tastes, the filet mignon though is the reason for the disappointment and nothing I'veseen before. Came as 2 pieces of thin cut meat, maybe 1/4 inch thick each. They looked more like pork chops. I ordered Mediumrare and both were just shy of being well done. Staffing 4/5 Waiter was nice, little weird but I don't have anycomplaint. Cleanliness 5/5 Overall 4/5 Nice place and the food overall was excellent, I was with a party of 8 and my steakwas the only complaint. Would recommend to others.

Great food... fun service... nice atmosphere and reasonable prices... a new favorite

The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Bella was our waitress and she did an excellent job. Will definitely go back again.
