We made a last minute reservation for Saturday night and luckily, we managed to get a table...As previous posters have commented, the place is small and somewhat on the loud side when full but that didn't bother us...We came for the wonderful food....We opted for tasting menu which gave us a pick of an appetizer, fish course, entree and dessert... more

We've eaten at Chapeau for over 10 years, the service is good, food fresh and it has always been a good experience. Their wine list is excellent and owner is great at advising the perfect pair with your dinner.
