La Chev 208 was an amazing place to dine. Our server Jenn was so professional and polite. We enjoyed soups, salads, appetizers and excellent main courses. We reserved the outside tent with the heaters. Ambiance totally amazing!!! There's also an outdoor bar so our drinks came out in a speedy process. This is a restaurant I will have to come back to and share this hidden gem.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The scallops were fake. We ordered two items with scallops. We didn’t immediately identify the fake scallops in the appetizer because they were covered by powders and their taste was overwhelmed by the heavy sauce. But then the entree came. We found not only the items didn’t taste like scallops but the shapes were also artificial with a surreal smooth and flat texture. (Real scallops shrink after cooking and show fiber-type textures). And they lacked the freshness of real scallops. The owner, when confronted by us, blamed her chef for purchasing synthetic products and refunded us. But it is too bad a practice. It is apparently cheating. Their chef was actually very skillful to cook fake materials into meals that are sold expensively.

I highly recommend this establishment. Upon arrival, the ambiance immediately creates a welcoming atmosphere. The staff demonstrated exceptional politeness and attentiveness. The manager personally checked on our table, a commendable practice for a high-end restaurant. We selected this venue for our engagement celebration dinner and were thoroughly impressed by the sophisticated ambiance and exquisite lighting. It proved to be an ideal setting for a couple's dinner. The culinary offerings were, without a doubt, outstanding.
