Chives — Restaurant in Alliance

Update: Food was good. They are shortstaffed like everywhere else, so service was slow.

Original Review: 4 yrs ago (5 Stars) Rachel was our waitress and she was very quick, polite, and on top of everything we needed without being over watchful. Great job even more so considering the place was crowded.

The food is great tasting and well priced. Large portions. Beware of the chicken parm if you don't like tomatoes, it tastes wonderful but if you are like us you have to remove the giant chunks of tomato. The mac and cheese is hands down the best I've ever had. Everything we had was delicious and the choices are abundant.

The drinks are just about average tasting but exorbantly priced. I think it was almost 8 bucks for a red bull and vodka. It is a bar though so if you expect differently you would be crazy. The long islands could use a bit of a helping hand. Not the best I've ever had by a long shot which is a shame because its a go to for many people. The beer...... Was beer. Hard to mess up beer.

Overall great experience and plan to make this a more regular spot. Maybe just leave the drinking for...

The shame of this review is that we have eaten here before. We liked it. I understand that everyone has a bad day. However, kids (around 8 and 10 years of age) allowed at the bar because their mother is a regular and wants to drink is completely unacceptable. One waitress on duty. She did her absolute best. You could here the folks, including the owner in the kitchen, giving her a hard time. Our food was more than late, more than usual that is for sure. When it did come it was horribly prepared. You could have used the french fries as tooth picks. Owner could have cared less. No apology at all. Just took the card and ran it. Don't get me wrong. I wanted to pay for our wings and couple of drinks. Not sure what this places problem is. Seems to me that if they had someone else running it with the same food...they would be fine. Bartender needs to read up on Ohio Law. He should be fired. Kids...It's a bar for god sake. I'm not old fashioned. There's just some things that shouldnt be allowed to happen. You certainly take your chances stopping in...

We went there on a Sunday with my 13 year old.daughter. Food was good our waitress was great. Now for the bad part. At 630 in the afternoon there was 3 people sitting at the bar that were so drunk and so loud it was rediculous... They kept playing music and it was blaring. Our waitress turned it down and the people at the bar started complaning. Actually asked if it was us that asked to turned it down. Although we didnt complain the manager took one of our meals off the menu which was much appreciated. As we left one of the people sitting at the bar started hollering they are gone turn up the music! The food was good but if you are looking for a place to stop get something to eat with your family I would...
