" I have to say, I was a bit disappointed by my recent meal at Chef's. The spaghetti parm was good but not great. It lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. The service was pleasant but a bit slow. However, the restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere, filled with nostalgic decor and a sense of history. " (*Curated Review*)

Consistently good service tailored to make you feel welcome. It gets busy, but the atmosphere is always worth it. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Chef's is a fun spot to grab a bite! Food is always flavorful and piping hot. I love how they serve fresh bread as well! The spaghetti parm is the highlight, of course. Plus, the staff is polite. One complaint would be the lines during busy hours, but it does speak to how great the food is! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I visit Chef's, it reinforces why it's a Buffalo favorite. Their spaghetti parm is indeed the best! The cheesy goodness takes it to another level. The atmosphere is relaxed yet buzzing, which I enjoy. On my last visit, the staff did seem a bit overwhelmed but still provided good service. This place stays on top of my list! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been going to Chef's for years, and it's always a treat! The spaghetti parm is a must-try every time. The atmosphere is lively with a family-friendly vibe. Sometimes the wait can be long during dinner hours, but the food and service more than make up for it. I love that they’ve kept their classic recipes alive! " (*Curated Review*)
