What Stephen H likes about Chives:

Chives at Mike's Kitchen offers a mixed dining experience. While some guests found the food exceptional and praised the accommodating staff, others were left disappointed by the slow service and unwelcoming atmosphere. With fresh ingredients and personalized service, this small restaurant caters to a variety of dietary needs, including vegan and gluten-free options. Despite some negative reviews, those looking for a cozy, family-friendly spot with delicious food and great hospitality might find Chives at Mike's Kitchen to be a hidden gem worth visiting. Remember to book in advance due to its popularity.
