    Creative small plate. Fresh ingredients and wonderful combinations. Generous portions - we ordered 4 small plates and took home part of one. Inventive cocktails and a nice range for wines and beers. Friendly and attentive service and a comfortable and bright space. Impressive for a program where the staff is honing their skills and great to be part of their learning.

    We had an outstanding meal at CHOP starting by sharing the Caesar salad made with crispy Little Gem lettuce and lightly dressed with a delicious lemony, parmesan herb dressing. It was large and could have been shared by 3 people. Our two entrees (filet and salmon) were cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. We had wonderful service by the entire staff. We will be back.

    This is the second time we've eaten at CHOP. I think it's an extraordinary restaurant. Wonderful menu. Fabulous service. And right next door to Trinity Rep!

    Great find. Great concept! Charitable organization runs it. It was busy because of basketball tournament but did a great job. Liked the decor to fit the library location. Service attentive and friendly. Had the Peruvian Chicken Sandwich that was outstanding. My Vietnamese noodles a bit vinegary and could have used a touch of sesame oil but I'm nitpicking. Bonus! : Tips go to the Genesis Center so I am assuming they are paying staff a reasonable wage. You can leave extra tip which I did

    It was a very good experience! A very laid back atmosphere and the staff could not have been nicer. Creative food and cocktails—the bartender was especially nice and interested in getting us just what we wanted. I would definitely recommend this place to foodies in particular.
