Just went there with a big group yesterday. This place has cool decor. If they seat you right, you will enjoy a great ocean view. I had the Lichee Cranberry drink, it was okay. But, i heard the mango drink, the first one on the drink menu is good. Not a big fan of their free bread, it's plain and hard anyways. I went to Chaya once couple months ago. We ordered several appetizers, but i dont' remember what i ordered. They were good, but portion is a little small. Their sushi = good (just good, not impressive kind of good). I ordered Halibut for my entree...hmm, yummy, comes with asparagus and buck choy, mashed potato and some puree sauce.. perfect presentation and mixture. Btw, their current lunch menu is different from the one they post on the website. Their desserts are abolsutely one of the best. I would stay away from Neapolitan Ice Cream Sandwich. It's a little too plain. The two desserts you abolsutely have to try is the "Molten Chocolate Cake " and "Warm Chocolate croissant bread pudding". Creme Brulee is pretty good also. Chaya also has Happy Hours. They also play jazz during the weekends. You might need to call in to find out the schedule.
