Our experience with the food was disappointing though the dessert was excellent, the wine pairing was excellent and the staff was superb.

I went to Chez TJ to celebrate my birthday and really enjoy my stay. The dishes are delicious and creative, dessert is amazing. People are really nice and friendly. Environment is quite and home like. Glad that I tried it before my relocation. Wonderful experience- really appreciate everyone I met. Sad to learn it is closed now, hope it is not too late to express my thankfulness.

We have been to this restaurant a few times over the years and so experienced different chefs. This time we feel the quality of food and the prefixed menu did not match what we experienced in prior visits. Service and the wine list is more or less the same.

Thank you Chef Mo Béjar, Sommelier Ted Merkel, and Captain Jessie and everyone at Chez TJ for a delicious and memorable evening! We were delighted by the breadth and creativity of the menu, each course a unique discovery. Among all the wonderful dishes, the Perigord Truffle with Okinawa sweet potato with watermelon radish and browned burrata was unforgettable! I loved the harmony and contrasts in flavors and textures. The bread and butter are as delicious as always, and the wine list contains many gems. We look forward to returning to see what else Chef dreams up. Thank you all and cheers!
