A restaurant in the Marina owned by chef Charles Solomon who has decided he prefers the intimacy of a small neighborhood place to the craziness of a bigger and busier one. The night I was there, he was bartending, waiting tables, busing tables, and -- I suppose -- cooking (though I glimpsed a Hispanic line cook through the kitchen door). A lone waitress was the only other staff there. I waited a lot, was served a glass of oxidized wine, which I didn't drink, and had some sweetbreads, which were nothing special. Solomon has a reputation as a great cook, but as far as I can tell he doesn't have enough critical mass at Chaz to make a real restaurant. Perhaps I was there on an off night. I am going to be nice: No recommendation
UPDATE: Chaz closed in late 2004.
