Customer Testimonials

Driving into Le Chene is like to visit a church of class. Near Valencia, the restaurant also features local wines made by its fearless leader, Juan.

They still use white tablecloths, unlike most of the chain restaurants. The wine list still carries an in-depth and very impressive selection. We tasted wine and while thinking about each taste, a regular customer came to the bar, who is a friend of Juan. He offered us a sip of champagne. We had a bite to eat and I started to think about the day.

Juan’s cuisine is vitalized classic European and his tongue is legendary, both for food and wine. He liked a Pinot Noir from the four best and even though it was not my number one, with his tongue it was magic.

Then, suddenly, the gentleman from the bar gave me a red wine and asked what I thought of it, because Juan told him I know more about wine than he and anyone there. The wine was a clear message for me and I said: “Pure old world Bordeaux…great level of finesse and structure with over 20 years of age.”

His friend smiled and showed me a bottle 1970 Chateau Mouton Rothschild. He even had a price tag from the time when he got it – $42.70. The wine showed no watery rim and had a brown tone and edges. We finished the bottle with him and while we were there, a nice lady in the bar also tasted two of the Pinot Noirs, blind, so we could help her to learn about them.

We even enjoyed a rare Italian Varietal bottle from Juan and while driving home, we had a rare feeling. The day’s memories are what keeps us dreaming better. Thank you to all for making life the best!

Best regards,

Recently my husband and I vacationed in LA and took the Vintners Assemblage Tour which included two wineries – Antelope and Reyes — and the Le Chene restaurant.

The ride was smooth, but how can it not be in a really nicely equipped Suburban? Our guide, Juillet Wellons, was every bit the consummate hostess — knowledgeable, smart, friendly, warm and very professional.

Our tour started at Antelope Winery – small and quaint, reminiscent of a country store, but that quickly changed. Our wine steward, Joyce, was a sweetheart. She knew her wines, yet never pushed anything too hard, taking the time to listen and steer towards good choices. She explained the winery’s history and the wine types so well, it was truly a comfortable welcoming experience.

Reyes Winery is nestled in a valley area surrounded by mountains, with restored Spanish style buildings. The setting is beautiful, but it’s the tour that makes it extraordinary. Avid artist, developer turned vintner, a real renaissance man — Robert Reyes is riveting in his talk about the ins and outs of winemaking on his sixteen acres. To see the operation, hear about his history and view and taste the results makes for a very special event.

Our tour ended with dinner at Le Chene and while it culminated in an unbelievably delicious meal it was the service that took it over the top. Juan Alonso, owner, commented that they were so far from anywhere that everything had to be good to keep his customers coming back. By the end of the evening we knew that to be a serious understatement.

The food– OMG! Hands down, our meal easily beat any five star restaurant! So satisfying, we had four orders of Escargot! Our waiter recommended the elk and while I have never had it before, it was meltingly fantastic (yes, this meat melted!) and I will go back for more.

Juan Alonso is suave, charming and gracious, we loved hearing about and sampling his wines. He knows what excellent service really means and his staff, even down to the bus person, gives such great attention that it was much more than a meal. This was the perfect ending to a magical day.

The Vintner’s Assemblage won’t disappoint! We were just on its first soft opening and it far surpassed anything we could have expected. I can imagine that as it evolves with these wonderful people it will only get better.

Thank you SCVT for a tour of a lifetime!

We had an opportunity to dine at Le Chene for my daughter’s birthday and I was shocked. The most elegant and nourishing food I have had in California, thus far. No one in the high desert ever mentioned this jewel that is so close. I have mentioned in less than a week, to 10 people, this diamond in the rough. My wife had the Seafood Pasta and I must ask for the recipe, for all of the flavors came alive with every bite. If you decide to offer a military discount, I will be a spokesperson for Le Chene, but until then I will continue to spread the word unless you would like for the jewel to stay a secret!

Last Tuesday we celebrated our anniversary, it was a wonderful experience, delicious food with a variety menu, great service and amazing drinks! A highly recommend romantic destination.

To Juan, his management team, and the wonderful staff who made my parent’s Anniversary Party a success – thank you, thank you.

Being a restaurant professional for over 30 years, I am qualified to say that everyone was exceedingly professional yet personal, kind and attentive. The lead server Sherry (please forgive me if I misspelled her name) was more than we could have asked for, and played a key role in the evening’s success.

I also wish to mention your kitchen. Many times with large parties there’s an assembly-line quality that unfortunately reflects in the plates going out. Not so with your restaurant. Every plate looked like it was ordered off the menu, and that impressed not only myself, but our guests as well. I thank you.

If anyone from Le Chene is in Sherman Oaks, please feel free to see me at The Local Peasant. It would be my pleasure to extend every professional courtesy to anyone who contributed to this event that was so very important to my family and me.

Amazing place tasty food excellent costumer service .
Absolutely the greatest venue! Incredible mouthwatering cuisine, the most extensive wine list in southern California, warm hospitality. A joy!
Le Chene is a wondeful restaurant with delicious food. I highly recommend it. The owner Juan is always on top of everything and you will often see him visiting each table to ensure all is well.
great food and service . great wine list
Food is amazing and scenery
Great French cuisine close to home.
We go to LeChene at least once a year with our family. The variety of food options is vast. They grow and raise their own food. This family owned restaurant has been a favorite of mine since the 90’s. I will keep eating here, as long as they’re here or I’m able.
Great food & great quality.
Fantastic food and ambiance! The service was great too and they really make you feel special when you are celebrating a special occasion!
Very nice place to dinner and relax 🥰
One of my favo(u)rite movies of all time is Duel, released on 13 November 1971. In July of 2021, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the movie, I did a “Duel road trip”, visiting several of the sites from the tunnel to the railroad 🛤 racks and from the “Snake-o-Rama” to “Chuck’s Cafe” now of course, LeChene.

Juan Alonso, the owner of this gem of a restaurant welcomed me with open arms, showing me old still photos from the restaurant scenes to the original locations from the counter to the pool table

My wife and I will be dining at LeChene in a couple of weeks. I’ll show her part of the road trip I took and hoping to stay at the small motel a stones throw from the restaurant.

Cannot wait to introduce Kris to Juan and, of course an amazing meal. 2112% recommendation to dine at this “bucket lister” restaurant.

Cheers 🥂

Beautiful restaurant, excellent food and wonderful service!
Our go-to special occasion dining...never disappoints !
Escargot...the menu,friendly atmosphere and relaxed accommodations...❤️
We received our food in a timely manner. The Filet Mignon Au Poivre was cooked very well as I requested and was very juicy and tasty. Mash potatoes and zucchini were seasoned perfectly. The salad was very fresh. My husband and my son loved their meals as well. I highly recommend Le Chene if you want a perfectly cooked steak as requested.
Always amazing! Never disappoints!
Delicious! Awesome service! love the red wine Juan's Red. Still one of my favorite restaurants.
Had a lovely evening here and the elk here was amazing. Wine was perfect! Bryan was my server and he was so kind to me. I will be back here again, hungry for more.
sincerely Bryant.
5/5
The most romantic restaurant in Santa Clarita. We have been dining here for many years. Decided to get married in their garden. Every single guest said it was the best food they had ever had. Keep in mind that most are “foodies” internationally.
Love Juan and his beautiful wife.
Juan and his staff were amazing! The waiters and bus boys were always there when we needed them. And the food was outstanding!
