    This was my second time to Chapter 6 and it once again did not disappoint. I went with four friends and we were able to order a good sampling of the tapas and one small dish. Our server Kirsten was great. She made recommendations that we loved. I can't wait to go back and try more off of the menu.

    Beautiful inside. Went for lunch and ordered chicken souvlaki which came with fries. Very good but overpriced. Could probably get the same meal at Greek takeout place for much less. I wouldn’t go back for lunch but might try for dinner. Overall beautiful ambiance and great service..

    We got in and were seated immediately. After taking a look over the menu, it was hard to decide since everything sounded so good. We ended up getting the jimmy chopped salad, smoked octopus, rigatoni, cavatelli nero, pumpkin pie, and chocolate gateaux. The best was the octopus, salad, and chocolate gateaux. The pasta’s were perfectly al dente and seasoned well!
