Here’s what one reviewer says of Chimes. “We had the best waitress, sorry I can’t remember her name. Very patient with our order there were 8 of us, and she answered all our questions and made great suggestions. The atmosphere was cool, the food was just good. My salad was ok, the lettuce wasn’t crispy, but it could have been sitting in the dressing for a while before it got to me. The Salmon was cooked medium as requested which was great. I asked for no dressing just oil and vinegar on the side, but it still had dressing.”

Try any of the specialty drinks or go to try a new gin/ scotch/ whiskey. The bartenders are friendly and the place is kept clean, the new outdoors seating is wonderful when the weather is cooler. Didn’t try any of the food so can’t speak on that but if it’s anything like the drinks, it should be worth it.”
