“Chef Berreut is over the hill”

Chanticleer South

Dec 22, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

We had an unexpectedly poor dining experience at Chanticleer South this evening. There were a few good dishes on the menu but the majority were mediocre. The duck was very salty and tough, and the vegetarian plates (ordered in advance) were simply steamed vegetables - a very poor showing for an expensive French restaurant.
When there was a problem with the wine, the waitress smelled it and told us it was OK. This has never happened to me before.
But the crowing event of the evening was when the chef came out of the kitchen, after we had paid the very high bill ($700) and was abusive telling us that we did not know what we were talking about and that we needed to travel more!

My husband lived in France for 7 years. He loves this place. It is the a French Resturant that does not try to Americanize the food. Love food in Lyon. especially the old French love the Chanticleer.

Nowhere are the changes overtaking the Keys more evident than at this minuscule, finely appointed restaurant in Islamorada. For twenty years the space was occupied by Manny & Isa’s, known for its homey Cuban fare and key lime pie. Now the chef and proprietor is transplanted Nantucket restaurateur Jean-Charles Berruet, who left the frigid North and headed south to cook his classically oriented, slimmed-down French cuisine. Foie gras with dried fruit compote is appropriately rich and decadent, but coq au vin is light, the tender bird plucked from a pot at your table and served with mushrooms and bacon shards. There is even a selection of artisanal cheeses and delightfully airy soufflés, plus a wine list that’s a trove of exciting French and Californian bottles.

If you are looking to spend your money on an upscale, gourmet restaurant, avoid Chanticleer South. We had dinner their twice, thinking perhaps the first time was just a fluke. The second time was just as bad.

Spend your money at Pierre's. The prices are about the same, but your will get exceptional food, service and ambience at Pierres.
