Chef Nate’s

The food is always excellent! The service is usually excellent. Love going there, but the host is just NASTY! If I have to deal with him one more time, we will stop going there. He should never be allowed to speak with the customers.

We happened upon this gem of a restaurant when we were strolling through Wilton Manors for Art Walk on Saturday night. The place was full save for one table, the food looked great, and the aromas wafting onto the street drew us in. “J” (Salah) was our server, and he is the best of the best! Professional, cheerful, knowledgeable and patient as I asked questions about this lovely dining spot. His service added greatly to a wonderful dining experience. Even Chef Nate came out to greet us! We had the Penne with shrimp and scallops in a delectable and creamy garlic wine sauce and the other entree was a lasagna layered with fresh veggies and meat inside puff pastry rather than pasta. Creative and different! Both plates were well prepared, flavorful and presented with great eye appeal. We split a delicious and fresh shrimp cocktail to begin our meal, and ended it with a beautifully presented and heavenly tiramisu. Chef Nate’s is only open for dinner, so plan accordingly. Ambiance is casual chic. There is metered parking along the street. This was our first time at Chef Nate’s, but we will be returning to try other items on the menu. Thank you for a lovely dinner!

Chef Nate came out to our table to confirm our experience-exceptional! Ryan (our waiter) had a phenomenal personality and is one of the best ever. Our food and drinks were great, you can taste the difference when people love their job. Looking around everyone was enjoying their meals and the atmosphere-open airy. This is a must try on the drive.

An intimate gathering place for making new friends or breaking bread with familiar ones! Our waitress Kimmie was amazing always making sure we never went without! Dining in or outside the atmosphere feels like a quaint yet lively courtyard with a view of Wilton Drive and City Hall. We ordered one of 3 specials of the day - herb and crab encrusted butterflied red snapper and mahogany duck, for appetizer we had the shrimp cocktail and dessert was a heavenlyslice of tuxedo cake. Both very delicious! A job well done!
