We gave our daughter a beautiful engagement party in their private party room. We had 52 guests and Chef Geoff's event staff were outstanding from beginning to end. Amy and Marija made sure that everything was perfect for our event. The servers were friendly and professional. The food was out of this world, displayed fabulously and was plentiful. Our guests were extremely complimentary about the food and service. What a perfect night!

What can I say? We rented out the whole restaurant for our wedding reception and it was a slam dunk! We had a tasting before hand that helped solidify our vision and felt like royalty. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. It was important to us to have our reception in a place we loved, that was close by, and that we could return to. Chef Geoff's exceeded our highest hopes! Special shout out to Maria and Amy for their attention to detail and seeing our dream to fruition.

Food is really good and the happy hour drinks are great value. Nice patio out the front for summer evenings. Service can be slow when busy but that’s pretty understandable!

Table for three at 6:30 pm. We had a leisurely reunion dinner with a friend who had not eaten at this restaurant so she had a lot of questions about menu items. Excellent server Trystany was up to the task with a smile on her face as she tended to some much larger groups. Our manager person was most helpful in getting us seated and proved extremely helpful the next day when I went back to retrieve my cell phone which I had, unfortunately, left there. She recognized me when I came in and promptly gave me my cell phone and validated my parking slip. She did this all with a smile. I was very grateful. The whole staff is very much into customer service and it shows!

We had a fantastic lunch out on the patio at Chef Geoff’s (New Mexico Ave), & Izzy made the whole experience even better. She was friendly, attentive, & genuinely made us feel welcome from start to finish. It’s always a pleasure when great food is matched by great service—thank you, Izzy, for making our lunch so enjoyable! We’ll definitely be back.

We just had an absolutely wonderful evening at Chef Geoff’s on New Mexico! Every dish was excellent and the service was beyond exceptional. Our server was Emma and she was fabulous, when we asked about getting a recipe for a delicious dessert we had from the chef she went out of her way to see if it was possible. The next thing we knew the manager, Tasha, showed up with the recipe and not only texted it to my phone but then emailed the recipe. It was a Saturday evening and the restaurant was busy and they took the extra time to make it a very memorable night for our table. I absolutely highly recommend this restaurant and the wonderful staff.
