After reading the few negative reviews, my family and I decided to give Chappy's a try anyway. We were pleasantly surprised and loved the place. Friendly bartender, good music, prompt seating with delightful live music throughout dinner, good friendly service with absolutely great food. Nice ambience with visits by Chappy throughout the evening in the dining area, overseeing every aspect of service. Trout Longbeach was to die for! Filet of trount/ white sauce, shrimp and lump crabmeat make for a fantastic signature dish. Special of Swordfish Piccata with lemon caper sauce was exquisite. Fried Seafood dishes were light and minimally greasy and cooked perfectly. Mahi Mahi was served with light sauce and lump crabmeat that was fantastic. Wine list is not extensive, but prices are reasonable. Nice room for large group of 12-15, and nice private alcoves for groups of 4-6. Desserts are to die for; unfortunately, after filling up with entree's, one rarely has room for dessert. We have now been back three times and each time Chappy has met out expectations and believe me my wife and I are very picky (she is a dietition, and I have three years experience on a Chef's staff). Strongly believe that negative reviews were written by his competitor's!! Parking can be a problem, use the ""free"" Valet. Everyone we observed at other tables seemed to be having a good time--one almost felt like you were at a party. Please give it a try and make up your own mind. We look forward to returning many times.
Pros: Food, service, ambience
Cons: Haven't found any
