My husband and I enjoy dining at Chamard Vineyard. We had the warm brie appetizer and the presentation was beautiful. It was also so delicious. We had the cod dinner which was also delicious. The best was the flourless cake for dinner. It was a must to have. Thank you so much Chamard Vineyard.

It doesn’t get better than this. Fantastic food, lovely decor and stellar service. We have been loyal customers since this jewel box of a restaurant opened. Chef Roland and Angela are a formidable combination of delectable food and delightful hospitality. Can’t wait to return.
