Chefs Kitchen and Cocktails

I love the vibes at this restaurant. I came here with a friend on a busy weekend and the customer service was great. We arrived earlier than our reservation and were able sit at the bar for a short wait. I highly recommend making reservations as it's a small restaurant. Once seated, our waiter was great. I ordered the blackened salmon with the Brussels and sweet potatoes. 10/10 My friend ordered the jerk pasta with chicken and the spicy level is up there! Definitely jerk seasoning!! So if you like spice , this is for you!! A great spot for date night and small groups. I'll be back soon!!'

Amazing ! Went well . Food is consistent and delicious. Enjoyed the seating area and ambiance The staff is pleasant and very attentive.

Chef's Kitchen has a moody, intimate ambiance that makes it great for a date night, though it does blend upscale dining with a slight sports bar vibe, thanks to the bar and TVs. Just a heads-up--there is a dress code, which caught me off guard. I had to zip up my jacket, which felt a little unnecessary given the setting, but no big deal.For food, I ordered the blackened salmon and the Shorty's short rib, while my husband tried the lychee martini. The portions are definitely on the smaller side, but everything was well-seasoned. The blackened salmon had good flavor, and the short rib was tender and enjoyable. My husband really liked the lychee martini--it was refreshing and well-made.Overall, the experience was good, just not mind-blowing. The service was okay, nothing particularly memorable. While nothing stood out enough to make me rush back, it's a solid spot if you're looking for a chill night out with decent food in a stylish atmosphere.

10/10 is truly a understatement! The food here was nothing short of amazing. We went here for my boyfriend's mom's birthday dinner. We started the night off with some drinks & the king of the night had to be the lavender purple drink ! If you're looking for a drink that is sweet & smooth, would definitely recommend it. For appetizers the star of the night was the lobster bites, that come with an orange sauce that went well on the calamari as well. The waiter knew the menu really well & all of his recommendations were great ! Everyone loved their food, and the portions are so large. The dress code is business causal & it definitely matches the vibe of the restaurant. They played R&B songs but with jazz, we enjoyed guessing which song was being played. To end the night the most unique but delicious dessert I have ever had was the fried banana pudding all I can say is WOWWWWWW! And I'm not even a dessert person. (Ps. They do a little something special on the dessert for birthdays) Will we be back? HECK YEA ! And the best part about it all, it is Black Owned ! Sending much love to the chef & to the owners of the establishment. Thank you for a great dining experience!

Oh. My. Goodness. I have heard about this place from several people but finally going it lived it up to the hype.I had the oxtail lasagna which I still dream about today, I went with family and every left nothing on their plate! I will say the vibes here have a great night life feel if you wanted to bring a date. The cocktail list is amazing. I'd give it more than 5 stars if I could.

I enjoyed this meal very much! The salmon eggrolls were my fav, they were super flavorful and crispy. My lychee martini was very good. However, I ordered Prosecco to mix with it. I didn't really enjoy the banana pudding but it wasn't nasty at all, just not for me. The ambience was nice but it was extremely tight borderline too tight. If other patrons are loud you will definitely hear. Overall a great experience! Thanks Colby for being pleasant the entire evening.

chefs kitchen and cocktails is an intimate dining experience with a tempting menu and specialty craft cocktails; you are in for a culinary treat! Located on Colley Avenue in Norfolk, VA, you are transported to an eclectic establishment; with unique artwork, plush seats, and hanging greenery. I made reservations for dinner, so I was seated immediately. Our server was knowledgeable about the food and cocktail menus, providing various suggestions. We ordered the Calamari Bruschetta, Chef's Popcorn Shrimp, House Wings, and Rack of Lamb. Of course, I had to be a little extra and Oscar-style, my rack of lamb. All I can say is every dish was exquisite! The rack of lambs is a hitter; tender, seasoned, sauces crazy! For my cocktails, I ordered the Lemon Basil Mojito, On The Run Margarita, and Purple Rain Drop. Every single drink was mixed perfectly, but my favorite was the margarita! This restaurant is worth getting a babysitter and having a girls' night, dinner date, or just time with friends. chefs kitchen and cocktails is providing an exceptional dining experience!

Ambiance - A nice chill date spot. Very intimate with your partner & play great music. Service - Great Server, got everything we ordered correctly. One of the reason I gave a lower star because you cannot modify anything on the menu. If you don't like a side that it comes with you cannot switch out with anything else. Food- presentation is on point and big porpotion. The Mac and cheese can serve a table of 4. It's super big. The lamb chops were $60 a plate but the taste wasn't worth the $60. The lamb was under seasoned but the vegetables were great. Chicken wings are a winner and super crispy. Overall I would come back but not a place I would crave. For 2 people and 4 drinks our total was over $200. So prepare to spend a pretty penny for the ambiance and the vibe of the restaurant not so much the flavor. Great concept !

This spot is a gem! Very intimate setting if you want be able to have a conversation and still have a little music in background... The food was delicious. Definitely exceeded expectations being as though a lot of menus say "jerk" and the spice level are low... The Jerk Pasta with salmon was full of flavor & it's definitely a dish I would return for. Mouth watering for sure.
