Review of Chef Too
I was at Chef too today and the quality of the food was pretty good. I found the prices to be way too high though. The food was not of the quality of Alameda but was comparably pricey. We paid almost RMB900 for four people. Have to say though that the ambiance was very pleasant, the staff were friendly and the service attentive.
Overall, very pleasant but get ready to pay through the nose for it.
Nice resturant and pretty good food

Review of Chef Too
SO I have been reading about this place for a while now and finally decided to give it a go.
No appetizer for me as there was not that much choice (salads and a shrimp cocktail)...but I had the Alaskan crab legs and my husband had the seafood gumbo.
He loved the Gumbo (been to Louisiana and know what gumbo should taste like) and Lots of crab but a bit too salty and was slathered in butter. Don't get me wrong I love some butter on the side, but it was swimming in it.
Wines were good value 42 kuai a glass and the cheesecake was tasty. I though NY cheesecake was like massive (Been to carnagie's deli)not too big but none the less good.
Got the bill and it was 600 kuai, a little more than usual but we did have seafood which is pricey in Beijing. Plus 10% service, which apparently goes to staff- no prob with that.
Might give it a go at a later date, but still was not too happy with those crab legs!
