We stayed at the Raphael over Memorial Day weekend, and got breakfast at Chaz the last morning. My wife had the Lobster Benedict. We can't recommend it enough. It's exotic and pretty and it has a sensational blend of flavors. My petite filet and eggs was also excellent, but it's pretty tough to mess up a good cut of filet... More

I had an excellent breakfast and dinner at The Chaz. Lovely waiters and a mouth-watering menu. I knew I was going to eat at The Chaz the moment I checked their website, months before my trip. They have live music on some nights and it really made dinner more enjoyable. The only disappointment was dessert & coffee, but the salad... More

This reaqlly is a lovely place--we used to eat and stay at the Raphael, but now think the best idea is to stay at the Intercontinental and eat at Chaz--excellent service, very good food, quiet place unless very near the bar--charming staff.

Once again Chaz was exactly what I have come to expect. An incredable dinner with excellent service (Josh this time), and good live jazz to listen to during and after dinner. Just on the south edge of the "plaza" area this is one of the best places to catch a great meal and some live jazz. You can have a... More

We had a lovely lunch here. While expensive, the good food, service, ambiance, and location justified it. Actually, for an up-scale location the prices were reasonable. It was a treat to be in a restaurant that was quiet enough you didn't have to raise your voice to have a conversation. We were seated by a window by the busy street... More

Chaz has become one of our new favorite restaurants! The staff are all very knowledgeable and friendly, and the food is excellent (great for foodies). We always request the same table, and the tables all have their own unique qualities. My favorite dish is the Fillet, though I have it prepared Oscar style, while my husband enjoys the sea bass....
