We tried new items on the menu: crusty Bronzino, topped with light salad, spicy radishes, orange segments, and a spoonful of avocado … And we also tried the Sea Scallops with mussels, in red pepper sauce. Bronzino was ok, but too many fish bones, salad was refreshing but needed more citrus flavor. Sea scallops were absolutely delicious, and paired nicely with the mussels and the small pasta made it sing. Melvin, as usual made our day!

Chef Geoff's touched on every aspect of service, ambiance and excellent food for a luncheon for two. The greeters were very friendly and sat us quickly to a lovely table by the window. The ambiance was modern with natural colors and patterns. The menu offered a large variety of options with some interesting ingredients. Our food choices were freshly prepared, nicely presented and delicious with good portion size. Our wait staff person was knowledgable, attentive and accomodating. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

Ordered the popular CG Burger with "fresh greens." The burger was excellent (with outstandingly flavorful bacon), but the greens had obviously been plated a long time before the burger was plated. As a result, they were warm, wilted, and rather chewy. Also, the patty which I ordered "medium" came "med rare." My friend's burger, which he ordered "medium well," also came "med rare." We were both too hungry to tell our server, "Mike," about these issues, so we are mentioning it here.

Our usual Monday at Chef Geoff’s, my husband loves his Mussels! Kevin was so kind to bring us the Steak Skewers to try… the steak was incredibly flavorful and high quality, my only comment is: the sauce should be a little sweeter to play against the spicy notes. Melvin took good care of us as usual. I’m still hoping they bring back the Ribs. It would be great if they could add the salad I spoke to Melvin about… I think it’d be a big hit.

As usual, the food was excellent! Pasta and steak were great. The server seemed to get overwhelmed toward the end - perhaps because the restaurant got really crowded. But overall it was a wonderful Friday evening!

Our first time and the food was delicious. Everything was tasty and the drinks were fine. Our waiter was attentive but the overall service was quite slow. The restaurant was quite busy which may account for the slow service. However, it will not keep us from dinning there again.

Chef Geoff has proven why his restaurants are so popular. This is a great neighborhood restaurant with a menu that suits all types of tastes so don't let the friendly and warm atmosphere fool you! I tend toward the gumbo for lunch because its very tasty, great flavors and is enough to satisfy. Highly recommend !! One of the best features is the parking availability which is a critical factor when choosing where to go.
