Celebrating two birthdays and a graduation outside in Chez TJ beautiful garden setting. Each bite of food is amazing with flavor. Great food, great service.
Menu being a mystery is a fun twist. Fantastic food and great ambience for a romantic date. Outstanding experience! Food was great and the service was exceptional! At the end, we enjoyed the experience and the creative food. But looking back, we would have chosen differently. The beginning set the strange tone. We showed up on time for our reservation, as did the table across from us.
Then we got the empty champagne flutes for our wine pairing, which sat empty for another 20 minutes. Usually in such a situation, the restaurant would just pour your glass, apologize for the delay, and top you off when the amuse bouche arrived. Not Chez TJ. The weird hiccups like this continued throughout the night, to the point the other table joined us in giggling over each mishap.
We went with it. Amazing food and service, but I couldn't justify the expense on a future visit. Left needing more food. What an incredible experience. Great food, service, and atmosphere. The wine pairings were fantastic and everyone was extremely friendly. It did take 3 hours just like they mentioned on the website.
We will definitely be back! We sat on the patio right next to the garden and the spacing was generous, so we felt very safe. The food was exquisite and the ingredients were surprising both in selection and preparation. The wine pairing experience was absolutely incredible!
We ordered one Nightly pairing and one Grand wine pairing, and it was worth every penny to try twice as many rare, interesting wines and learn from the fantastic sommelier, Paul.
Service all around was excellent. The entire evening felt lavish and elegant without ever feeling pretentious. We hope to visit again soon! Fabulous evening at Chez TJ. Service was very attentive, partner enjoyed the wine pairing - choices I'd never seen before. Inventive food, mouth-wateringly delicious, perfect special night out. Fantastic experience. The wine pairing was top: bravo to the sommelier and of course to the whole team.
Thank you. Food cooked to perfection, service was great, and the outdoor patio was very cute. Good value for the overall dining experience. A wonderful tasting menu and deliciously complementary wine pairing. It is a perfect place for a romantic dinner. It was a lovely anniversary celebration dinner experience for us! The food was delicious and the service was on point. So, plan ahead for that much time to dine.
We saw this for ourselves when we toured the house. Fabulous food and wine pairings. New patio are is really nice. Everyone providing service was very knowledgeable and nice but the dinner is many courses and they came so far apart in time that the overall dinner was too long. It became late and we were tired by the end. A great dinner but timing between courses needs to be shorter. We will definitely go back in the future, but book an early seating. The service, food and ambiance was top notch.
They are still following all covid protocols which was great! The food, the service, and the ambience were excellent. I ranked "average" for value - it's a premium product at a premium price.
For a special celebration, it was totally worth it. The food was wonderful and the service was exceptional. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. The service was impeccable, though sometimes on the slower side. On the plus side, this made it possible for us to enjoy the lovely setting.
I found the grain crusted antelope filet mignon particularly good. The presentation of the individual dishes could not have been prettier, so much so that we felt compelling to take a picture before destroying the artful design.
The only disappointment for me would have been the "cheese course". This consisted of two dime sized rounds of creamy cheese and a variety of decorative accents. As this is a restaurant with a modern French cuisine, I had been hoping for a beautiful cheese tray from which I I could choose a couple of options. We had chosen the wine pairing, which proved to be an excellent choice, with the sommelier providing a detailed information on the individual servings.
Provided we can get over the steep price tag, I would certainly love to spend an evening at Chez TJ's again. And it is an entire evening you spend there, as no other guest will stand in line to claim your table. Five of us had a very memorable feast at Chez TJ last night. Kudos to the sommelier who had excellent skills of selecting wine from the less known regions.
It takes almost no skills to procure well-known wine but hidden gems from all over the world? Not an easy task! On top of the impressive wine pairing, the ambience, aesthetic presentation, the first rate service from the wonderful staff, and the innovative uses of the fresh ingredients make Chez TJ an excellent choice to indulge yourself after the pandemic.

Safety precautions. Physical Distancing. Protective Equipment. What people are saying. In the early s, George Aviet and Thomas J. McCombie acquired the property and served their first dinner on November 26, Both dreamt of building a restaurant together and so, along with their wives, they were determined to turn their dreams into something real. Together with their vision and the resources they managed to accumulate, they built their restaurant and the public came!
The press reviews were glowing and. George Aviet, his wife, and longtime employees ran Chez TJ as they always had. Chez TJ has a garden from which it sources some of its ingredients to be incorporated into its seasonal menus.
Given the current climate, we have chosen to take advantage the garden and incorporated it into our dining experience. Even if you are not ready to join us for dinner quite yet, we welcome you to visit the community garden.
