The Chef - Manhattan

I recently had the pleasure of dining at “The Chef” for breakfast, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. My wife and I opted for the Crab Cake Benedict and the Smoked Salmon Florentine Frittata, and we were blown away by the flavors and presentation.Despite the bustling crowd, our food arrived hot and impeccably prepared. The Crab Cake Benedict was a delightful combination of succulent crab cakes, perfectly poached eggs, and rich hollandaise sauce, while the Smoked Salmon Florentine Frittata was a symphony of flavors with its fluffy texture and savory smoked salmon.The only downside was the wait time, understandable given the restaurant’s popularity, but the exceptional quality of the food more than made up for it.Moreover, the service was top-notch. Our waitress was attentive, ensuring our needs were met throughout the meal. Her friendly demeanor added to the overall enjoyment of our dining experience.In conclusion, “The Chef” offers not only delicious breakfast options but also outstanding service that leaves a lasting impression. I cannot wait to return and explore more of their menu offerings. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable breakfast experience.

Visited on a Sunday morning around 9:00 and only had to wait about 15-20 minutes to be seated. I ordered the chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs, hash browns and toast. The meal looked good but it just didn’t hit the spot. The chicken fried steak was greasy/mushy on the inside and the outside breading was very gritty. The eggs had no fluff or flavor. Waffle house hash browns are 10X better. Everything had a weird old grease flavor to it. The warm strawberry jam was a nice touch that I haven’t had before.For such a popular place the food was just meh, but the service was good, no complaints there.

Expect a wait, it's popular for good reason. The food is good, the staff is nice, the atmosphere is great and welcoming.

Great food and an amazing place. Just make sure you get there early. Because it does get crowded.

-Nice location and atmosphere for breakfast or brunch.-Food was pretty good and presented well.Highly recommend the pancakes. They were different from what I've ever had before and had a cinnamon taste to it.-Unfortunately, the waitress seemed uninterested in her job and was very off-putting and rude as well.
