Meet Brian Chamis, Sommelier, Wine Expert for Cafe Chardonnay 

By Victoria Lorusso, your real estate specialist

On a recent visit to one of our favorite restaurants that I had visited in quite some time, I was reminded as to why we like it so much.  At Café Chardonnay, located just minutes from home, everyone is always greeted with a smile and always enjoy listening to Sommelier, Brian Chamis, and his extensive knowledge of wine. Quite amazing actually. You will find Brian behind the bar usually talking to equally excited patrons. Check out the wine list!

The atmosphere is surprisingly sophisticated with its soft lighting, warm woods, unique light fixtures and cozy banquets.  There are two levels for dining and I find the upper level to be a bit quieter and a little more romantic too.

Perhaps most important is the food and it is truly consistently good, innovative and always evolving. I happen to be an Oso Bucco fan and they prepare this dish perfectly.  They recently even added Oso Bucco ravioli to the menu as an appetizer but was wonderful for a meal for me.  Love the wild mushroom strudel too, their creative salads and their varied entrees that include fresh fish and everything from Lamb, steak and even an Elk chop.

Recently my aunt and uncle came from New Zealand to visit. My uncle is launching an upscale wine export business from New Zealand and so of course we had to go to Café Chardonnay. Brian got the first taste of some unique wines not yet offered here. I have a feeling he does that a lot.

Café Chardonnay is located 4533 PGA Blvd, just west of I95 on the north side in Palm Beach Gardens.  This time of year you need a reservation so call 561-627-2662.
