Chessie's Restaurant

Been here several times and looks like the quality of food and service keeps going down each time. This last Tuesday it took them almost 1 hour to serve us 2 burgers and 2 hot dogs. And even then 1 order was wrong and they had to spend another 15 minutes to get it right. Not recommending them.

Considering HOSTING AN EVENT here? SERIOUSLY DON’T! I hate writing negative reviews (I know everyone says that, but I really mean it). However, the owner earned this one. I had both my wedding and baby shower at Chessie’s in 2012 & 2014. It was beautiful. However, we hosted my sister’s baby shower in April of 2022 and it was a DISASTER. Eleanor (the owner) started off pleasant and helpful with fair prices and great food selections. However, she never offered a signed contract other than a menu with prices. Things started to go downhill once the shower started. - The tables were set up incorrectly. - Christmas decor was still up everywhere which looked horrible considering it was April 22. - Not a single food item was correct - No people to serve the food (as agreed upon). So we had a buffet during COVID-19. - And then we were charged almost DOUBLE the verbally agreed upon and written down price. Agreed to $23.00 a person. Charged $40 each person in the end. My mother tried to problem solve with the manager Luis (owner wasn’t present or reachable that day) who tried his best to fix the situation (poor guy) as problems occurred, but it was too far gone. My mom paid just to get out of there, because it was clear he didn’t have the authority to do anything about the situation. My mom reached out to Eleanor after the event was over to try to fix the overcharges. Eleanor REFUSED to offer ANY FORM of reasonable solution. (Refused to offer a partial refund, refused to honor the agreed upon price and refused to meet in person). In fact, the owner became AGGRESSIVE, CONFRONTATIONAL, and VERBALLY ABUSIVE. Trust me, I saw the texts. It was like dealing with two completely different people. Honestly, the whole situation is just sad. Chessie’s never used to be run this way. And it ruined what should have been a beautiful experience. Eventually, my mom needed to involve the credit card company and file a chargeback. It’s my hope in posting this that I can save someone else the aggravation and prevent another person’s special day from being ruined.

Just had another great meal here. We love eating in the bar which is so cozy comfortable. Staff is always so nice- wine bottles are half off on Wednesdays! We had the onion loaf- delicious and is comparable to Hackneys-mmmmmm!! And their burgers are hand packed, delicious, juicy- the best!! Tonight we had the Shrimp Palermo and it was amazing. I had Penne Tuscan and added shrimp- delicious and I couldn’t believe how much shrimp was in it. Overall, we love popping over, getting a high top in the bar, ordering some wine and delicious food from nice people. And it’s especially fun at Christmas- decorations are awesome.
