Chef Geoff's

Today my husband and I had a lovely leisurely lunch at Chef Geoffs on New Mexico Ave. We had some drinks before ordering lunch, and our waitress, Olivia, was the perfect, welcoming server. She did not rush us or make us feel hurried and was never hovering, but always there when we needed any service.Cheerful, upbeat, respectful and prompt. While we always enjoy our time at Chef Geoffs, Olivia made our lunch even more enjoyable. Great service makes or breaks the experience. Thank you Olivia!PS. The BLT was epic!

Amazing food and service. Cooper was our waiter and he was very friendly and accommodating. We had two very picky eaters with us and he was very patient! My favorite items are: black bean burger, starter sweet and sour tofu, and the starter fried Brussels sprouts. I also love the simple and healthy tofu, side balsamic greens, side mushrooms, side broccoli. I had the power kale salad and the Andes salad and both were good. the pasta and pizza are pretty good too. I've had the mushroom ravioli and the margarita pizza. I never tried the dessert but hopefully soon :)

Just ate here and tried their menu for restaurant week. We had 730 pm reservations, and upon entering, the restaurant was full and the layout is pretty tight. There isn't enough space in between tables, so you are seated in very close proximity with other diners near you. That was the only part of the dining experience that was a bit annoying, but as the night went on, the restaurant cleared out so it was much more spacious. For starters, I had the gumbo and my boyfriend had the sweet and spicy cauliflower. I loved the gumbo! It had good chunks of chicken, sausage, and shrimp and was very flavorful. I also thought the portion size was very filling. And, the cauliflower was also very tasty. It almost reminded me of chicken. I liked the jalepeno and actually added them to my gumbo. For our entrees, my boyfriend and I both had salmon. I had the blackened salmon while my boyfriend had the simple and healthy salmon option with broccoli. Both plates were decently sized and we ended up taking to go boxes. My salmon was cooked well, and I loved the potatoes, bacon, and spinach. I definitely felt full after a few bites. Finally, I had a pear croustade for dessert and that was delightful. It reminded me of a pie, and it had vanilla ice cream on top. I loved that. My boyfriend got the lemon tart to go, so I'll have to report back later but it looked good. The service was good. Our waiter was attentive and observant. He knew when to come by to check in and refill our water or clear away plates. I would definitely come back and just opt to eat a bit later when the restaurant isn't as busy.

I came in here to grab some snacks with some friends. We got the cauliflower, some sweet potato fries and focaccia bread. We enjoyed all of them. I particularly enjoyed the sweet and hot cauliflower, which was really unique and good. The restaurant itself is quite decent size so it was easy to hear my friends talking. The restroom is a bit far away, outside of the restaurant but it's pretty clean. I suggest this place for any quick snacks!

Sadly, I have to say that Chef Geoff's has gone down a little. I used to always recommend Chef Geoff's and bring my family here--so naturally I did just that! I took my grandparents, parents, and boyfriend to Chef Geoff's for a nice birthday dinner. We had raved about the food, wine, etc. However, we were extremely disappointed with the food as a whole. Unfortunately I don't have the pictures of the things that were wrong throughout the night, but I do have a picture of the season spice crusted scallops which were the only good thing we had on the menu... Let's get into the issues here (and yes I realize I did hype this restaurant up recently, but I'm sad to say my review has gone down the dump). To start off, my grandma is vegetarian. The main reason we chose Chef Geoff's was because there were a few good options such as the tofu bowl and veggie burger and cauliflower appetizer. However, when my grandma got the burger, it was clearly not cooked through. It was cold and must've been frozen before cooked because according to her, there were ice particles in the center. I took a bite and yes it was wet, cold, and tasted subpar. As for the watermelon salad, we thought it would be arugula with watermelon chunks. No, it was... watermelon. That's it. A large block of watermelon. My grandfather's salad was soggy and had clearly been sitting out before coming to the table because the lettuce was damp and withered. As I said, the scallop dish was amazing and I always love the chicken Milanese. Although, I did state I didn't want goat cheese on the risotto but obviously it was on the risotto. I didn't send it back mainly because the server was extremely busy and seemed to be running around all over the place. I just picked it off, but I wish I didn't have to. As for service, it was okay, not great, but again, he was super busy and management did take off the burger so I really did appreciate that. I understand restaurants may have some off nights, but it was upsetting that it was on a birthday night and when I had my family visiting. I probably won't go back for awhile, but I hope they can expand the menu and also get back to where it used to be.

Came on a Thursday with my colleagues to celebrate a colleague's retirement. We had a reservation, were seated right away, and had excellent service. Our party of 12 was served promptly, orders were accurate; and drinks were refilled before we could ask. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and we all enjoyed our time together. I had the roasted turkey sandwich which seemed perfect for a fall lunch. Don't forget to get your parking validated for a discount. This is a great place for large groups. We had a 5* experience.

Love this place. Great happy hour menu. Very elegant ambiance. Friendly service. I go all the time and will continue to do so!

Rigatoni alla Vodka with the burrata was amazing! Not only that but great service from Mishelle!

Michelle on New Mexico Avenue was so kind and wonderful! She provided amazing service and we loved our experience!

Our waitress Emma gave us fantastic service and gave me well informed information regarding their wine selection. The food was excellent and the restaurant had a cozy atmosphere.
