For the price, I would not recommend. I ordered the steak (med-rare) and it came to the table raw and with zero flavor. Fries were burnt and the salad flavorless. read more

Fun outdoor vaca venue with shade & picnic tables. Solid craft cocktails made your way with sweet or sour. Kiddos & adults loved the truffle fries. Great portable bathrooms! Go with the food recommendations from the bartender; that Pit sandwich was almost a Dinner Club meal in itself! They have porcelain toilets flush and sinks running water... definitely a relief after kayaking state parks. Really they should get 4.5-stars for providing those. read more

I'm specifically reviewing the dinner food trucks. We stopped in on July 4 after a day at the beach, and Chives did not disappoint. The kids got the burgers, husband got the pit beef, and I got the shrimp fry. We split the 50/50 curds and fries. Executed to perfection. The truffle aioli and I think a siracha aioli - heaven. Shrimp were succulent, everything seasoned wonderfully, and it just capped off a great beach day in Door Co. Tons of lawn games for kids, and someone even offered to show my two year old son the inside of one of the trucks bc he thought the old trucks were "so cool!" Made his day. Ambiance is beautiful, staff is pleasant and helpful, I am currently staving off a craving for this same meal so badly. Like I would drive to Door co just to eat this meal again. Thank you so much, Chives! We love you! read more

Everything was great, esp. the fresh whitefish! Superbly prepared! Server was friendly, efficient, but not too much!

First off, the server had an amazing name! Great to see another Aidan in this crazy world we live in. Food was great, mimosas even better. I have absolutely no idea what the other recent review is talking about. read more

We went here for family dinner on Sunday night and were surprised to find the place hopping! We were seated at the last table -- even the bar was full of evening goers with delicious looking cocktails. We had a great server, Clayton, who made us feel right at home. He knew all of the wines, described the standard dishes and specials with flare, and connected to us and what brought us to him that night. We had the whitefish entree -- it's "French battered" so not deep fried and delicious -- and the cod special. Save room for dessert! The pastry chef is next level! We enjoyed BOTH the crème brûlée and the hazelnut chocolate bomb! read more

They bought the bakery that used to be next door and it's currently their bar area. There are two outdoor stands/food truck things for ordering and staying outside. Plus their main indoor building. It was a little confusing of how it all worked and where you were supposed to go. We wanted a pizza so we went up to the pizza booth. He took our order and told us to pay at the truck. Well turns out you order at the truck and a receipt gets printed in the pizza stand. Really confusing. Pizza was ok, crust was soggy. We also got cheese curds, it was just a little thing and was $8, plus it came in a little plastic Tupperware type container- not a fan of the short life that plastic lived and will now go on to be in the landfill. It was nice to have the outdoor setup however and the staff seemed to be on top of the cleaning. The outdoor had a nice feel to it. The indoor restaurant is too fancy and not what I'm looking for in door county. read more

Refreshing salad on the patio with really good tuna. It was packed full of different textures and lightly dressed. I was so pleasantly surprised. Had a really good mix drink and a delicious rich cookie for dessert as well. I liked that it was less fancy than the restaurant in Suamico. We enjoyed our meal and will come back. read more

We went to Chives for our 30th wedding anniversary. We have been to Door County many times and finally decided to give this place a try. First of all, make reservations if you are going in the summer. Even on a Sunday night, the place was hopping. We both ordered the steak frites and they were perfectly cooked and the fries were delicious. Nice view out the window, great outdoor dining area, and they have a food truck next door that was quite popular. read more

AMAZING! Door county has no shortage of good food but this place must be towards the top of your list! Great service, and the food is some of the best you will find! Do yourself a favor and eat here!!! read more

I have never had a bad meal at Chives. DC Burger, salad Nicoise, Beef Cheeks, salmon, flounder, oysters, fries are great. There is something for everyone. Very little turnover in servers. They are excellent and fun. Cocktails are creative and tasty. There is both indoor and outdoor seating with a small view of the lake. read more

I give this place kudos for being the only breakfast place open in Baileys Harbor during the off season. Our food was delicious however kind of pricey for what it was. Our server, Carlton, was very friendly and provided good service. read more

Great restaurant in Door County. Awesome view of Baileys Harbor, cool space and friendly staff. Outdoor and indoor dining available. Interesting menu options and great drinks. Prices are reasonable given the location and quality of food. In fact, some items are extremely reasonable. The Chicken Marsala was awesome. Unlike most versions of this dish, which is a cutlet, it's actually a 1/2 chicken with roasted veggies underneath. It was excellent. Will be back for sure! read more

We came to Chive for to celebrate our friend. There were 14 of us with a 4:15 dinner reservation in the off season. We finished with a wine tasting a bit early so we stopped by the restaurant in case they were able to seat us early but with no expectation. The hostess was incredibly rude when we checked in and seemed almost off put that we actually showed up for our reservation. She seemed to begrudgingly seat us but split up our reservation into two completely separate portions of the restaurant. Half of us sat in one room off to the side and the others sat in front of the bar. It was very confusing because there was a whole row of tables across from us that were open nearly the entirety of our evening, there was no reason we should have been split up and no explanation as to why. I can't speak to the service at the other table but our waiter was very friendly. The food itself was delicious, the butter with the bread when you sat down was incredible. I got the couscous, a delicious seasonal dish. Others said their dishes were really tasty too. We grabbed a couple desserts, including something about a chocolate caramel dome that was heavenly and great to split to enjoy a few bites. The environment was really cool with a fun library off the kitchen that would make for a really cool date night. The dining portion was overall good however the experience with the hostess and reservation was so off putting that I would not recommend Chive and will not be back the next time we're in town. read more

We came by this place a few times and finally stopped for a late night meal. Don't let the $$$ signs trip you up. It can get pricy with the apps and wine (well worth it) but the main dishes are very good and more unique than some of the other places in the area. (Had the Caesar Salad and raw Oysters, Whitefish and Scallop special) The desserts though.......I laughed with my husband that next time we should just go for a glass of wine and dessert. We had the fruit tart and the peach melba (I'm allergic to chocolate) and were in heaven. Better than any place in Chicago or France (ha ha, but maybe only because of the pace). In the end, it was waaaaay better than expected and we will be back! read more

We started with salads and both were delicious. The cheese plate was also good. Our fun drink made by the bartender was tasty. I wish I had ordered the salmon special. I did not know there was a white fish special either or that likely I would have ordered. Pretty pricey. Had a great view facing the lake which was nice. The crab cake was my favorite. 3.5 stars. read more

Was disappointed in the salad Nicoise as the pickled beans overwhelmed the dish. I wish they had mentioned this variant in the menu listing. Service was good, but the prices were high. read more

I had tried to come in here around 7:45 with my friends, with no reservation. So we had came up to the hostess stand and she immediately started dismissing us (because of our age and how we were dressed) and not answering any of our questions like if we could just wait till a table opened up. She then told us to sit outside then clarified she meant the food truck outdoor area after we had sat down which had none of the same menu items. Then we had went back to the car because we wanted what the actual restaurant offers. Then as we are sitting in the car we see that there was a reservation available in 15 minutes at 8pm. Now we could've waited but at that point we had felt disrespected and that we wouldn't want to give our money to a place that felt like we couldn't afford it and had humiliated us. read more

Ok this places food was amazing! We made a reservation for outside seating because it looks so inviting every time we drove by. We did slightly regret this because the amount of flys on the outdoor deck was crazy and super annoying, I felt that most of my time was trying swat away the flys...but don't let that deter you from stopping here to enjoy the food because like I said before it was amazing. I had the chicken marsala and my boyfriend had the steak and frites..both DELICIOUS!! read more

Our party of 2 had an excellent breakfast at Chives outdoor dining area. We had a breakfast burrito and pancakes with coffee and OJ. Everything was delicious and the ambience added to our nice experience. Service was excellent too. When we return to Door County and Baileys Harbor, we will definitely plan a dinner at Chives to sample the rest of their menu. read more

The food was fantastic (food truck section, not main restaurant). I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was extremely clear that it was given to me 2 minutes after the chicken was out of the fryer, which I appreciated. Also a good place to grab a specialty cocktail and sit outside to enjoy. Only constructive feedback would be the cooks. Working in the service industry myself, I know that chefs/cooks are supposed to have a little bit of a chip on their shoulder but they gave my group a hard time when an extra side sauce was ordered and it wasn't given to them in the initial order. I would absolutely come back here again when I'm in town! read more

Very unsanitary conditions by the one of the employees in the food truck - at least one of the employees touching all the food with his hands (no gloves) and then walking out of the truck touching dirty banisters and other objects without washing hands or using hand sanitizer when he returns. Complained to the manager In the restaurant about it and she said she would come out and say something to the employee but she made a snide comment to other customers as I walked away. Still waiting for her to come out and say something after 20 minutes. Also, when I asked about the contents of the seafood chowder, she shoved a menu in my face to look at it. When she came back, she asked me what I wanted. I said I did not want a menu I just wanted to know about the ingredients. She snapped at me while pointing "well they are listed right here let me know if you want it or not." By that time, I lost interest. Will never come here again unless there is a new manager hired. I can recommend some very good ones. read more

Nice location, beautiful decor. Waiter was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. We went on New Year's Day for brunch and it was one of the best meals we'd had in Door Co. Their parsnip soup (soup du jour) and French omelet were superb. Looking forward to returning for dinner! read more

Loved this place. We ended up here because the place we were going to was closed. Things happen for a reason. Its a cute place with great ambiance. Tables are nicely spaced. I started with the butternut squash bisque which was very good. My friend had the chives chopped salad, very nice size and had all the fixings. Delish. My entree was one of the best I've had. It was something different and did not disappoint. Beef Cheeks Bourguignon. The beef was so moist and juicy. The spaztle was so flavorful on top of the beef. Every bit was so good. I would go back for this dish again and again. read more

Legit the most pretentious and racist joint in DC. If you're multiracial or BIPOC or have young children - do NOT come here. We even stopped in after dining in at Lure to ask if it was feasible to have a night cap, and we were assured no problem. Not only were we treated with zero respect, but we were rushed out. Never again. When we return the week of Juneteenth, we will frequent other businesses - please remove your Avec book from your shelves - they would be appalled at how overtly racist you are. Shame on you. Thankfully our toddlers are too young to see your racism. However, my 42 year old Black husband, not so much. Beyond insulting and sad. Shame. On you. Unless you're fine with admitting you cater to an all white clientele. read more

Chives was one of the highlights of my family Door County vacation! 2 out of 4 of us ordered the french onion soup and after everyone sampled, we all agreed it was the best french onion soup any of us had ever had. As I'm sure many know, you can tell how good a restaurant will be by its bread & butter. We could NOT GET ENOUGH. I had the caesar salad and it was excellent - an elevated take on a common dish. Entrees had by the rest in my party were excellent. We all shared desserts and they were delicious as well. Not sure when I'll be back in Door County but when I am, I'd love to have another meal at Chives. read more

Amazing food, great views and atmosphere! The crab cake eggs Benedict is the best and I have it every time I'm here. Just wonderful overall!

made reservations for 8pm. was seated at 8pm was served our soup of the day at 8:10ish? was served our two mains at 9:02pm. pathetic.

The outdoor food trucks are awesome, it would be great if they had high chairs outside at them for the littles! Thanks!

What a great new restaurant in Door County. We went with my wife and 2 adult kids. We were blown away by the excellent meal. Everything was perfect. They had a special with fresh radishes that was a surprise hit!! Very creative. We will definitely return. read more

The problem was my entrée. I ordered the vegetarian special, described by our server as fettucine tossed with tomatoes and other vegetables. I saw the list of included vegetables written out on the chalkboard that detailed the specials. Though there was no mention of onion in the list of vegetables on the chalkboard nor did our server mention onions. However, when I took my first bite which was fettucine only, I detected a VERY strong onion taste and then I saw pearl onions in the dish. The onions overpowered every other item in the dish, to the point that although I was very careful not to eat any of the onions, the entire entrée was inedible for me. Onions can be overwhelmingly strong and not mentioning their inclusion is a big miss that should never happen, especially in a restaurant charging pretty high prices. Everything else was just OK, not good enough to improve our rating with this big of a miss. read more

What a find! Strolling down the street and we go up the steps into a great little restaurant. We sat in the Library, surrounded by culinary books and had brunch for 10!

Loved this place! Great fresh bread and the BEST steak I've had in a long time, it was a huge cut and split with my husband. Better than some top notch steak houses in Chicago. Staff was attentive, all worked together well to make sure we had a great experience. Manager was very friendly and professional. I would suggest to make a reservation in peak months. Had a cocktail across the street at a super club that had a piano man (Billy Joel) read more

We've enjoyed Chives for many years. We have been regular visitors of beautiful Door County for 25 years. Having owned a vacation home here for quite some time, we feel at home here in this amazing part of the Midwest. Yes we have loved candlelight dinners at White Gull Inn and fish boils at Pelletier, what was once imaginative dining at Wickman House (now an epic disappointment), but Chives remains a reliable destination for delicious food and beautiful service. Quiet and comfortable. Always surprising and delicious menu options. Something for everyone! read more

I had called ahead to make a reservation for my husband and my anniversary. They assured me that they would have a table near a window reserved for our special night. No such luck. We were put in a corner table when we arrived. Ok. The restaurant is LOUD. Like, can barely hear the person you are with loud. Keep that in mind if you are looking for a romantic experience. They were out of the beer my husband wanted.. No worries. But then they were also out of the grilled shrimp special (at 7pm on a Saturday night??). Our Caesar salads were very heavy on cheese but light on dressing and lacked flavor. Our steaks took over an hour to get to us. My filet was fine, but nothing exceptional. My husband's ribeye was the same. He didn't care for the fries, but that's a personal preference. The service was fine. Again, nothing good or bad to write home about although it was slow. Overall, would not recommend. The food was fine but expensive for the overall delivery. read more
