    Fantastic! Food was incredible. Our server Michael was the best. Our time was limited due to an event nearby; the staff and in particular our waiter made sure drinks and food were provided promptly. The entire experience was exceptional. The manager as well should be complemented. He went above and beyond to accommodate our tight schedule. A totally 5 star experience. I will sing the praises of Chartreuse to everyone and will definitely be back!

    Love Mezcal, food is fresh and delicious at a reasonable price. Service was decent. They were very busy but food and drinks still came fairly quickly. Had to request silverware and napkins and little plates, but retrieved immediately. Highly recommend.
