CHAAK KITCHEN

Had the pleasure of dining at Chaak, and since I knew I’d be in the area that day, I decided it was best to make reservations. We arrived about 15-20 minutes early because we weren’t sure how busy it would be. When we walked in, it was surprisingly slow, which was odd, the maitre d took a good minute to seat us. There were plenty of available tables, but she decided to wait until exactly 6:30, which felt a bit off. Our server also took a while, maybe another 10-15 minutes to arrive, but at least someone was pouring water in the meantime. After some time, Lyndsay came over apologizing, explaining she was busy cleaning up broken wine bottles? Once that was sorted, everything got much better. We ordered the bone-in NY steak, octopus (pulpo asado), esquites, and finally the Bombas! Everything was absolutely 💯 🙌 — it was a fantastic experience. I can’t wait to visit their sister location, which offers more modern Mexican cuisine, compared to Chaak, which is inspired by the Yucatan Peninsula. Very modern ambiance! Reservations not required but highly suggested!

The restaurant has a full bat and staff that's attentive to our requests. Take their suggestions and you won't be disappointed. Pair your food with their seasonal cocktails or the IPAs and you can't go wrong. Their shrimp huaraches are a must try.

We got a few appetizers and didn’t get a main. Every dish was spectacular. The chayote was done superbly. The clams were so fresh and the broth was unusual but fabulous. The pork belly tacos were tangy and wonderful. Although we didn’t order a main, I did overhear people at the adjacent table who were raving about their mains - they had ordered the branzino, pork and chicken. The service was great. Ryan was very friendly and attentive.
