Chez BOSS + Fils - Verdun

This restaurant was absolutely amazing. The owner, Boss (the dad and chef) and Fils (the son and maître d') were friendly and incredible. For me, dining out is all about the overall experience. They called ahead to see if we could push back our reservation from 7:30 to 8:00, which was no problem. Upon arrival, they greeted us with a bottle of Prosecco and some lamb arancini while we waited. And the food! Since it was close to Christmas closing time, they offered us a family-style menu, which was a pleasant surprise. They even accommodated our vegetarian guest. We enjoyed grilled calamari, coquille st. Jacques, mussels and clams, with lamb chops and scallops for our main courses. Every bite was cooked perfectly and incredibly delicious. These guys truly understand what makes a dining experience exceptional. Cheers to them!

Had a fun night out with a girlfriend this past week at Chez Boss et fils. I ordered an old fashioned as an aperitif- the bartender claimed it was one of the best in town. Hmmm it was good but not great. But that probably boils down to my preference of Woodford bourbon vs. Makers Mark. For my appetizer I had a delicious tuna tataki. It was fresh, flavourful amazing. For my main I had gnocchi w squash pine nuts. It was as delicious. I cleaned both plates. The serving sizes were spot on and the food amazing. The only ding was service... it was slow. We had to wave down our waiter anytime we wanted anything. Not cool. Albeit our servers did apologize and note the poor service due to just getting back from 1 month holidays adjusting to the speed of things. Hmm, I guess but a more professional restaurant would never need to make excuses. But hopefully that improves w time. I'm hopeful :

Fantastic food, helpful service. Looking forward to my next visit. The selection was great, the waiter made good recommendations and the special were right on the mark. I would highly recommend.

Amazing food and great service. Try the fried squid if you can. A little pricey but well worth for a treat.

Holy guacamole is this place AMAZING! I wish I could give more stars because it's been a long while since I've been to a restaurant where everything has been on point. I came here with three others last night on a whim when we couldn't find any other place open past 10pm in the area. We were quickly seated and welcomed by one of the Fils who was super friendly. A quick look at the cute small menus revealed a tendency towards seafood but I appreciated the several non-seafood options. We ordered a variety of things from the Boss (endive salad, trout tartare, a cold soup, pork shoulder, and beef ribs and everything was amazing. My endive salad was out of this world and perfectly balanced with green apple, baby shrimp, and a perfect dressing. The cold potato based soup was phenomenal. The trout tartare was excellently presented but was a little too fishy for me (although I love tartare. When I say fishy, I mean that the trout was a little too strong . The pork shoulder was extremely tender but the mashed potatoes on the side KILLED ME. I was literally transported to another planet and lived on that planet the entire time I had a bite of those potatoes in my mouth (I don't think hubby was too excited with me eating the majority of his potatoes haha . If the owners are reading this, next time I come by I am going to order a large plate of these potatoes..... Sooo good!!!! Now that I am off my tangent, back to the plates. The beef ribs were good but a little too sweet for me. After this amazing meal we desperately felt the need to order dessert and so we got two Chocolate Marquis and a Banana Bread Seared alongside some cream and fleur de Sel (although let's be honest, I just wanted to have some of those mashed potatoes for dessert... . The chcolate was good but too sweet for me. However, that banana bread........ It was EVERYTHING. Perfect taste, texture, and presentation. I can't even rave enough about it.. Just try it and you'll see but it's definitely not your typical run of the mill banana bread. In conclusion (because I am rambling , TRY THIS PLACE! They have been open for 5 months, are amazing owners (we met Boss too , and cook with huge passion. I promise that you won't be disappointed! Next time, I am ordering mashed potatoes and that banana bread. Mmmmm...
