The atmosphere is cozy, but the food was not as great as we had a couple years ago.
We felt welcomed even we are the only Asian in the restaurant.
The menu is simple and straight forward. We had mostly seafood dishes (eg. fish, clams, octopus) and 2 meat dish (chicken and steak). I have the say that overall the seafood dishes are better than the meat dishes.
The octopus really stands out, not chewy and very flavorful. The salad accompany the octopus pretty well too.
Dishes to avoid:
The house wine is not expensive, but just like grape water. Also, the espresso was not strong either.
The owners are very friendly and gave us some nice dessert wine...

Read moreI have been a patron at Chez Doval for twenty years and returned tonight after about 8 months. Wow! the bar has been dropped, and the quality of the place has gone down hill !

We were neglected for the evening and our order was forgotten. Service like this is not acceptable! I will not be...
