You may dine without a reserva- tion if there are openings; however, reservations are highly recom- mended, especially on weekends. All reservations are made by phone, so be sure to call ahead to book your space.
Once you are seated, sit back, and enjoy the show. You’ll see oysters and clams being shucked, hot pans darting in and out of the broiler, flames dancing from the grill with multiple pans in play at any time, pasta being tossed from the boiling water onto a plate, vibrant steamed vegetables being artfully added to entrees...and
if you are lucky a little sample of something may come your way while you await your order.
According to Chico, “Whoever hasn’t tired it doesn’t know what they are missing.”
