Two Chef’s, Casual Dining is just that; a casual contemporary storefront setting, serving classic European cuisine, at reasonable prices.  An interesting mix, which seems to work well.  Open for both lunch and dinner, the menu offers a wide range of soups, salads, pasta, and entrees with a central European influence. For our dinner, we chose the following:

Small Side House Salad:  Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, roasted red peppers, and crumbled blue cheese. Choice of blue cheese, ranch, or raspberry vinaigrette $3.00
Fresh, crispy, colorful, and refreshing; just what you would expect
Pork Schnitzel:  Thinly pounded breaded pork cutlets, browned, and served with house potato salad, red cabbage, and lemon wedges $15.00
Prepared just like I remember from my time in Germany; hearty and filling
Marinated Salmon:  Salmon topped with a white wine basil sauce and served with white rice and vegetable of the day $15.50
Fresh, flavorful, flaky fish with a subtle smooth sauce, moist and light
Roast Half Duck: Served with Red Cabbage, Potato Dumplings, Garlic Spinach and Brown Gravy.  $22.00
Well prepared, large portion, moist, very flavorful.

Two Chef’s offers a reasonable selection of beer and wine to complement your meal.  The service was friendly, attentive, and efficient; providing a very pleasant experience.

Two Chef’s is not your typical restaurant.  It is different in a good way.  Offering a European menu there is a bit of an “Old World” feeling yet it is totally updated to today’s tastes and style.  “Old-World” European comfort food served in a contemporary setting at a reasonable price; sounds like a good recipe to me!
