Great place for brunch! They have the best crispy potatoes. I love the ambiance and the staff is always friendly.

Been here a couple of times for happy hour, but finally went for a proper meal. I took advantage of their Buy One, Get One Free lunch special, which comes with the caveat of the second meal is covered only up to $15 (nothing is 15 dollar except the salads). So you will still spend a few dollars extra with the special. Still a great deal to get a meal for later or if grabbing lunch with someone downtown. I opted for the Chez Burger and Pulled Pork Sandwich (for later). The burger was 8oz Chuck/Ribeye Blend Angus with Fig Jam, Garlic Aoli on a Brioche bun. It came with a side of fries and was delicious! I highly recommend the burger. I took a bite of the pulled pork to try it while it was freshly served it was alright. It had a bit of a different taste to it that I'm used to with pulled pork, but that could have been due to the Citrus Coleslaw served on the sandwich. Overall it was a solid dining experience and I enjoyed my meal at the revolving bar, which is always a enjoyable time.

As mentioned in my review four years ago, great food and service. Will continue to come back many times over! As we have been here twice for brunch, we need to come for a nice dinner in the near future!

Wonderful atmosphere in service. Our server Cameron was just top-notch. I had for brunch the crab cakes Benedict and it was wonderful. Was here with some friends celebrating a friend coming to visit. I will definitely return for brunch I love it.

The ambiance is upscale and ritzy. Our waitress was super nice but she was running around the whole place. It looked like they a little discombobulated. Our food took about an hour to come out so if I had somewhere to be I would have been a little annoyed but everything was delicious! The creme brulee was an amazing way to end the meal!

One of the most beautiful buildings downtown! Appetizers were phenomenal and so was dinner! Desserts delicious as well! Loved the shuffle board upstairs and all the decorations!

We came here to enjoy a drink at the revolving bar after dinner elsewhere. They have such a unique seasonal drink menu. They also have elaborate mocktails with quality ingredients. I've noticed a lot of that in Ontario, especially Toronto, even at chains, but it's not really a thing in the States. Kudos. My husband had a s'mores martini with stoli vanilla vodka, creme de cacao, and chocolate liquor - complete with a big marshmallow and graham cracker chocolate rim. So good. I had something called a Fireside. With ingredients like Grey Goose vodka, pomegranate liquor, simple syrup, maraschino liquor, triple sec, sweet vermouth, and angostura bitters, I couldn't understand why it was called 'Fireside' but it sounded yummy. Then I tasted it. All those fruity ingredients, and it tastes like a more refined fireball. What witchcraft is this? Angostura bitters can have a hint of cinnamon. I guess it came from that. It tasted magical at any rate. Just an enchanting mix of flavors with a hint of spice. Great service. The only downside is the seats are secured to the floor. My husband and I felt very far away from each other. The lounge upstairs has the same menu. Downstairs for business, upstairs for pleasure?

I ate at Chez Ami as part of the Curtiss Hotel staycation package and thought it was a decent upscale dining option. The menu is pretty steeply priced, although there are pizza options, but unfortunately the pizzas are only available at the bar. For dinner, we shared the roasted carrots appetizer, a caesar salad and the scallop entree. It was cool that they automagically split the plates into two portions, which was really appreciated! For those using a Staycation package, read the fine print in that drinks are not included, so be sure to order the full $99 worth of food if you want to get it comp'd (and don't forget to tip on the whole meal). Each plate was beautifully and eloquently presented. Service was good, but they seemed a tad understaffed and overwhelmed. I look forward to dining here more as Chef Bruce W has taken over the kitchen.
