Chef Luis Restaurant

Chef Luis is one of the most unbelievably kind and genuinely warm-hearted individuals you'll ever meet. He treats every guest like family. The atmosphere is cozy, inviting, and full of character. Weather permitting, there is indoor and outdoor seating available. The food is incredible. Every dish is made with creativity and heart, and you can really taste it. His burgers and ceviche are my personal favorite dishes. The drinks are just as thoughtfully made and pair perfectly with the food. If you’re unsure of what to try, Vanesa can surprise you with a delicious drink. This place is a real hidden gem in New Canaan. Definitely worth a visit!

Amazing dinner! What really made it special was our server Vanessa who was knowledgeable and so friendly. She made a great recommendation for my husband and didn’t rush us at all, but was quick to check on us to make sure we didn’t need anything. We will certainly be back soon!

The service is outstanding—everyone is so attentive and friendly. The food is absolutely delicious. You definitely need to try this place!

I recently visited chef Luis and was truly impressed! The atmosphere has transformed beautifully since my last visit, creating a much more open and inviting space. The food was nothing short of amazing—each dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. I can't wait to return!

Great food and atmosphere! the chef was very conscious of my allergies, and the staff was friendly :) Will definitely be returning!

The food was good as well as the service. My only complaint was the portion size. I ordered the short rib ravioli which was $36 and received SIX ravioli. If I spent that amount at any Italian restaurant, I would have received a fully filled plate/bowl. I'm only 150 lbs but was left feeling hungry after--for that price I should have received more.

Very good restaurant. My only comment is that the website shows a much larger menu than what they provided when we went there. A couple of items I wanted to try were not on the menu listed on the website.

We walked past the door because it looked closed but we backtracked and found it open. When we sat down, warm bread and olive oil was placed on the table. The waiter then took our drink orders The menu was promising but was more interesting than tasty. I ordered duck l'orange which is something I hadn't had in years. It may be more years as the manager came back to say they didn't have it. So I ordered the pork chop medium rare but I was told that the kitchen would only make it medium well. So I decided on the beet salad. The manager said the chef could make it medium but not to worry because it would be moist so I agreed to the chop. It was probably close to 12 ounces and looked beautiful sitting in a soup of creamed corn and sautéed onion. The corn was delicious but the chop was too well and chewy, totally unpleasant. The steak ordered medium rare also could have used less time cooking. Bone end of the strip steak was medium rare but the other end medium well. The halibut in paperlotte was cooked perfectly. The order of scallops produced 5 scallops cooked properly but the accompanying sauce could have stayed in the kitchen

Sadly, this restaurant staple has gone downhill. We were in for brunch on Sunday and the service was awful. The host never brought menus, rushed to clear the table before everyone was done, never asked if we wanted dessert. I ordered a salad and they forgot to add the chicken I asked for. By the time they brought the chicken, the meal was over. Salad was served in a tiny appetizer size plate. $20. My husband ordered salmon sandwich which was pitiful. Next time, go down the street to Rosie’s for a less expensive and larger meal.

The sweet potato "fries" weren't really fries. They were extremely small and looked liked a bird's nest of shaved potatoes. The salmon burger was good but had too much sauce and immediately fell apart. Had to eat it with a fork. There was no way it would stay together if I picked it up.

Fake reviews! Yes, I know it’s hard to believe but that is battered cod in a CROISSANT. Lol. I ordered fish and chips, was served utter trash.
