"Alongside the scallops, we had a lettuce-wrapped cheeseburger, a side of mushrooms, and a grilled shrimp entree served over kale salad. Everything was delicious! We particularly enjoyed the kale salad; it includes a hint of red pepper flakes that adds a slight kick without being overpowering. The lemon dressing was fantastic, too. We prefer our meat medium-rare or rare, and the cheeseburger was expertly seasoned and cooked just right. You could tell it was fresh by both the smell and taste, and it was incredibly tender. The mushrooms and onions were delightful—I suspect they might have been cooked in burgundy or sherry, which added a sweet and savory element. Honestly, we've never had a bad meal here, and I was pleasantly surprised by the scallops. They had a lovely buttery and creamy flavor, paired with light seasoning that complemented rather than overwhelmed the seafood. I also need to mention that the scallops were served over a small bed of very tasty grits. As for the service, Emily has served us before, and she is always sweet and professional. Our food arrived quickly, even during the Saturday dinner rush, and there was plenty of space between the tables and booths. I’ve previously had their salmon and can recommend it, but the scallops? I might be tempted to try them elsewhere if anyone has recommendations, but for now, Fresh Chef is definitely at the top of my list! It was a last-minute dinner stop close to home, and it was well worth it. I'm sure whatever Rita creates would be phenomenal, but I was really pleased with this visit!"
