As usual we had a very lovely experience at Chew Chew. We always sit at a table in the bar area. This time we went for the Thursday oyster special. We also had a cauliflower crust flatbread all just delicious. We always enjoy their cocktails too. We go out to eat often and Chew Chew is one of our favorites

This pleasant and welcoming restaurant has been a favorite of ours since it opened. Food is always tasty and interesting. Drinks are excellent: booze, coffee and hand-squeezed juices. Everyone who has ever waited on us has been lovely! Love that it is locally-sourced organic food. Decor is very natural. Chairs are comfortable and tables not jammed together. We think you'll like it!
