How do you take your Chez

We've had some exciting changes to our website this week, in that the entire site has gone through an extreme make-over! 

In addition to maintaining the user-friendly features of our previous site, including a link directly to Open Table for reservations, hours, and our current menu (including wine!), the new site also added information on our daily specials, desserts (the best part), our pub menu and even a mini video to go along with our Executive Chef, Pierre Jean's bio! 

So...Check out our new site! We'd love to hear what you think!
