We try to make it to the Merrill at least once or twice per year. It truly never disappoints. The wine list is superb and the food is always inspired and on point. Cannot recommend it enough.

I very rarely provide reviews because my expectation is that a restaurant needs to be great. Chubby’s was really beyond great. Really delicious. Really friendly. Really fun and vibrant ambiance. And you don’t pay an arm and a leg. Truly a restaurant not to be missed.

The service was impeccable, prompt and professional. The portions were good, though the prices for each dish too high. Cannelloni tasted good but not much meat inside them, it mostly had cheese and that was on top. Tortellinis were a good portion. The butternut salad had good flavour.
