Charming little spot right off Newport Blvd. It gives Gastro pub food vibes and delivers on interesting and tasty food. The onion rings are a star app to share🤩 The menu is eclectic and the service is friendly and memorable. Eat at Eat Chow!

It's always a treat to dine here for brunch. The food is always scrumptious, well prepped and attractively presented. Our waitress was A++. The additional staff were attentive, professional and friendly. One day we'll dine for lunch or dinner but for now, brunch on the weekend is a real treat!

The breakfast food is outstanding. Eggs and pancakes were exceptional. The only problem is the service. There were not enough wait staff to accommodate the people in the restaurant. It took 15-20 minutes to put our order in.

Food was very delicious! Chow Eggs Benedict was the highlight. However, the pumpkin cold brew was depressing. The ratio of cold brew to cream foam in a small glass was not great. The pumpkin cold brew did not taste like pumpkin either. It was mainly vanilla flavor. So skip on the cold brew.
