Review Chess Park - Glendale

Amazing place. First time visiting this place, didn’t regret at all. They have so many dishes options with truffles which I LOVE. Every single dish that I tried was delicious. Good music, great service! I will definitely come back!

Wow did I love this place. The live music was superb but not overwhelming. The bartender was wonderful. Food and cocktails top notch. I started with the cocktail called smoke break and it was unique, aromatic, and well balanced. Highly recommended. For food I had the tuna tower and the sea bass. The tuna tower was constructed with layers of crisps, tuna, and avocado with each layer able to be lifted off separately by the airgap created by the micro herbs. Great execution and delicious. The sea bass was the star of the show though. Cooked to perfection, beautiful, and tasty. Your Saturday night will be a pleasure and leave you in a cheerful lively buzz from this lounge.

This restaurant is just beautiful as you enter and throughout. Very elegant, clean and well decorated. Simple yet sophisticated. They have a great menu with plenty of options, wonderful seating arrangement, a full bar and live music. The food was delicious and the service was great.

The food was very tasty and good but the service was somewhat disorganized. Food came out erratically but was good when it got there. Wine by the glass selection was excellent. Good menu variety snd good presentation. Would definitely give another try, maybe just an off night for kitchen.

I personally wanted to try this new restaurant in town with my husband. I'm giving a 5 🌟 because it started of my calling to ask if I need to make a reservation. The gentleman (Israel) was very friendly on the phone. When I arrived a young beautiful young woman greeted me with a smile. Our server Juanita was so pleasant, attentive to our needs. We now met Israel who came to present and open the bottle of wine we ordered. He was very welcoming. My husband and I have observed that everyone who we saw was happy working and assisting each other. This dinner was my father's day celebration with my husband. It went well. I definitely recommend this place to everyone. Lastly the live music makes it a very special relaxing dinner. You have to go there to experience it yourself. I assure you you're glad you tried them. I wanted to order everything in the menu. If you like fish order the ahi tower for appetizer. Love the place, love the atmosphere, love the people and of course the food.

Went here to celebrate my birthday on Mother's Day and the computers went down. It took almost an hour to get the appetizers but our server Casey was very nice and explained what happened. He was attentive to our drinks and did all he could for us while we waited. When we finally got the food, it was fantastic. We really enjoyed every item. The cocktails were also fantastic and they have a great selection of wines. Towards the end of the meal the manager came out and apologized, thanking us for being patient. I really didn't think 2.5 hours was a long time for 4 people, but certainly appreciated their transparency and desire to exceed our expectations. We'll definitely return.

One of the most pleasant dinner and drinks experience I’ve ever had. I brought my father here because we both love chess, but you definitely do not need to be a chess lover to enjoy the experience. From the management, to every employee, to the cleanliness, to the food, every single aspect of this place was absolutely sublime. The ambiance is incredible! We even had live music playing outside which was wonderful! Usually, places like this make you feel like you overpaid as you leave; but, that wasn’t the case here. I felt like every penny was well spent! I can’t wait to come again! I’m not the best with remembering names, but I believe our waitress was Yasmina. She was extremely kind and helpful and her recommendations were delightful! I believe it was Juanita and Megan who greeted us at entry and as we left and even offered to take a picture of me and my father. Their warm welcome and positive and embracing personalities made our dinner even THAT much better. It’s the little things like this, and people like them that make a dinner experience feel so special! Thank you to everyone here for one of the most beautiful nights I’ve had in Glendale! :)

It's a nice date night vibe if you want to spend more than usual to impress a special someone Great music and great energy! Food and drinks are delicious! Definitely a place to dress up maybe fancy, yet casual, hip(yes I said hip, and relaxed. Definitely coming back!!! Reserve for Friday - Sunday nights to skip the wait :)

Can't Wait! Looking forward to the opening soon, looks very promising in the heart of downtown Glendale.
