Just left 'The Chef Restaurant ', and had to write a review. It was an amazing experience, from beginning to end. The staff were very attentive and let us know their concept was to serve healthy fresh food. We tried infused fruit water, smoothies, homemade yucca chips and guacamole, fried avocado slices, grilled salmon with cauliflower rice and roasted broccolini, rotisserie chicken with Quinoa salad and roasted vegetables, and chicken avocado arepas (similar to sliced egg rolls made with rolled four). Thank you Chef Roberto and staff for a great father 's day meal.

Chef Mendoza has brought his renown and flair for fresh ingredients (and knowledge of their benefits) to The Chef Restaurant in Concord and it is BRILLIANT. Abraham, my server, was efficient and attentive without hovering. He made sure my dining experience was perfectly timed. The appetizer of fresh asparagus and homemade pesto was a li'l bit of heaven served with juicy morsels of fresh citrus and apples. The açai juice was perfectly chilled and not too sweet--a healthy way to beat the heat. My main course, the salmon, was a veritable cornucopia of textures and flavors, a hint of curry giving the fish a familiar kick, while the crisp steamed greens evened it beautifully. For dessert, I treated myself to the poached pear with a scoop of rich vanilla, garnished with a syrup-dipped blossom for looks and taste. Polish it all off with a house-brewed Americano, rich and dark, and I'm fully sated and thrilled to have found this gem so close to home. Thank you, Chef and staff, for a wonderful evening of dining.

I had heard some friends raving about this place, as we all know there is not that many options for foodies in Concord. The place in itself is cute but nothing special, definitely casual and a rather awkward menu, we went late on a Thursday evening around 8 and there were 4 more couples eating quietly. I ordered shrimp Curry and my.partner the half chicken with the grilled vegetables and a house salad. Well when the food came I understood where the enthusiasm of my friends and the other reviews was from. Food was.nothing short of spectacular! Fresh, tasty, imaginative.... Even the house salad could rival the fanciest meal salad with the lightest fruity dressing I have ever tasted. Quantity was perfect even for my 5000 Cal a day weightlifter boyfriend! Too much good to describe...I am definitely looking forward to go back in the next few days as the dessert look amazing too! Now I just worry they will not find the right clientele here in our small town!

This place is ideal for anyone looking to eat a clean and healthy meal like me. My husband got the steak and shrimp and the steak was the juiciest and flavorful I think I’ve ever had and and I’m not a big fan of salmon but I picked it because it’s so healthy and I really liked it , it had a creamy pesto sauce on it that reminded me of the pesto from Peru that is my favorite with a side of cauliflower rice. Then I had an açaí Berri juice and it’s from the pulp nothing added so this place was sent from heaven for me really loved it and we will be back soon for sure. Also the service from our waiter was awesome and Chef Mendoza was a blessing to us thank you for a perfect evening.
