   Food was great as always. But we were quite disappointed with the service. We sat down and ordered some drinks but it took 30 minutes and querying about it to get them. I also had to ask for the usual sides such as fried polenta, fried bananas and masked potatoes which were only brought after I asked the manager for it. And lastly we paid cash and again I had to ask for our change since after over 10 minutes it was still not brought back. We have been coming for years and it's the first time we experienced such a poor service.

   They seated a single diner next to us who proceeded to FaceTime his entire meal. Phone speaker on full volume, crackling and startling everyone around him. Staff was aware and did nothing.

   We had Easter lunch at Chima with a group of 15 family members, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Vitor and his partner were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating—they made sure everything ran smoothly for our large party. The service was excellent, always with a smile, and we truly felt taken care of. The food was delicious as always, and the atmosphere was perfect for a family celebration. Thank you to the team at Chima for making our Easter so special!

   Have been to Chima many times over the years. This time was to celebrate my 52nd Birthday w my family. I was disappointed to see the dress code not being adhered to nor enforced. There were litteraly folks wearing ratty T shirts and trucker hats. Other folks wearing shorts w ball caps like they just strolled in off the 18th hole. I asked my waitress why the dress code was not being enforced and she advised that she believes management is too afraid to address it because people are so sensitive these days. The food was absolutely amazing but our server seemed a little overwhelmed at times. To top it off when we went to leave the Valet crashed my vehicle into a golf cart Taxi damaging both my vehicle and the golf cart. I then had to wait around w my 80 yr old parents for police to show up to take the crash report. Def a Birthday to remember SMH
