    The food was excellent! The cheeseburger offered at lunch but may also be ordered off menu in the evening is one of the best I’ve ever had!

    Servers didn’t have assigned sections so they all just seemed flustered and ours admitted that there was frequent miscommunication between them all. Sausage was salty, arugula salad was bitter

    This was my first visit to Chemin A La Mer , it was outstanding and I will return. The black drum with Eggplant rice was divine , fresh and cooked to perfection. Most enjoyable dining experience . The service was very good, out server was friendly, attentive and allowed us time to enjoy our cocktails before ordering.

    The food was delicious but was overshadowed by the indifference of the server. Be aware of a $50 corkage fee

    Food and service was great! The dishes were fresh and extremely tasteful. Would recommend the gumbo and feta as appetizers and the crème brûlée for dessert! Gulf shrimp was exquisite! For two people having 3 courses and drinks, was about $200. Will be coming back!!

    It’s a good restaurant worth trying. Food was very good. Service was also good, but it was just not professional like you would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. I know it is hard to find great wait staff.
