Beautiful restaurant and excellent service. We had brunch and all items were very good. Our only comment is that french bread should have been served with the turtle soup.

Third time dining here, this time as a party/dinner for my office. The food, staff, and ambience were perfect. The only thing missing disagree with is the credit card surcharge they tack onto your bill, which I do not recall being done when we dined there in September. I own a small business, and credit card fees are a cost of doing business. It should be included in the cost calculations for the price of the food being served (because hardly anyone pays cash any longer) instead of being tacked onto the bill afterwards. This is why I took one star away from my ratings of VALUE.

A great experience overall. Our server Erica was very friendly & helpful. Food was outstanding, although it took quite a while for food to be served given we were only a party of 2. The restaurant was packed; everyone was in a festive mood! We were not seated in the front dining area overlooking the water which was a disappointment but there were private parties in those areas. However, we were very comfortable where we were seated.

Great food with a beautiful setting, service was terribly slow, 1 hour to get our food. It was good but took too long to get it. Not sure I’ll go back

From beginning to end, we had an amazing experience at the Tchefuncte. The staff are first rate from hostess to server, to wait staff. And the food is amazing!! “Yum” was our primary exclamation! 😋 The view overlooking the river and a cozy table made for a very romantic dinner. We had a fun, perfect, special dinner there! HIGHLY recommend it.
