"Chick's used to be a wine bar that also had great food. Now it seems to have an identity crisis and in my opinion, it's just a so-so bar with small-portioned food. I will say that the food was tasty, but the salad, the pasta and the sandwiches were small. We left hungry. The saddest part of the evening for me was when I ordered a glass of Cava and they gave it to me in a regular wine glass, filled to the tippy top. Nice server, but absolutely no clue."

"Cool little joint. Food was very well done - fig & blue cheese flat bread was awesome. Limited menu & not a lot of ability to be flexible. Tried hard & with a smile- which counts."

"Cute spot close to the border of Queen Village. We went on a Friday night and it was surprisingly quiet. Got the fig and gorgonzola flat bread to start, I ordered the portabella sandwich and my husband had the boar burger. The flat bread was tasty, lots of figs and the caramelized onions were delish! They had a good selection of wines and beers. My sandwich was good - a little too charred on the outside, but fresh ingredients and good flavor. The shoe string fries that accompanied it were tasty. My husband's burger was good also! And - the chocolate tart... delicious. It's not meant for two - it's meant for 5 because it's incredibly rich and comes w/ salted caramel. The bar tender was also the server, he was really nice and attentive."
