Ok - I have now been to the restaurant well over 20 times. It is close and everyone I lunch with wants to go. Having been there as much as I have, I now regularly get free amuse bouche and am seated in the same great spot near the window.
Things have really changed here. I eat out almost every day for business and The Chase is now my absolute favorite. Not just the perks either--the service and food are now absolutely tops. There is no bad dish, but the Octopus, avocado roll and big eye tuna are among the best. The service is quiet and attentive and not pretentious or overbearing. It's now under a new general manager and I wonder if that had a hand in the change, or whether the place has simply grown up. Either way, a great place for a swanky meal.
