Our dining experience was absolutely fabulous. Chef Liam pays such keen attention to detail and adds his special flair to each dish to make the flavors intertwine with such synergy, that we thoroughly savored the entire meal. Vito was very knowledgable in assisting us with selecting a delightful wine to pair with our meal, and the wait staff were attentive and gracious in every way. Thank-you to the entire CHE FiGATA team for such a memorable and special evening!

Never been here, will go back for sure. A bit loud with the sax/piano combo but entertaining. Food was awesome, we actually ordered too much but made it through. French Onion Soup was the best we’ve ever had, no way could you eat a bowl, a cup was perfect. The fondue was also very good, much lighter than we expected, the fresh bread vs day old was a nice touch. Go here!!
