Chatham's Place

Chatham's Place - Dr. Phillips Boulevard, Orlando - 5 stars "Absence of plunder - This is the principle of justice, peace, order, stability, conciliation, and of good sense."- Bastiat True fine dining, as it originated in the 1940's, is completely a lost art these days. The 10-course meal from days of yore is gone. Tuxedos, Pince Nez, cigarette holders, Spatz, and house boys are a thing of the past. Heck, even the Big Boy wears Jordan slides to dinner no matter the occasion. However, if you want a throwback to an excellent dining experience, Chatham's Place is the Primus Inter Pares. Chef Tony Lopez is a culinary genius who combines complex flavors and layering to allow a palate-pleasing trip down sustenance lane. - As Bob Rose tickles the ivory as I ate, plate after plate of amazing dishes were placed in front of me served by white-tuxedoed men. I did not see a single female employee in the place. There is even a Maitre D' to seat you. This place exudes class. I started off with a Whistle Pig Old Fashioned to drink, masterfully blended by the bartender. The first course was Foie Gras in a Grand Mariner reduction. While the sauce was just a tad sweet for me, the Foie was cooked perfectly. Then they bring fresh-baked bread, which has a unique quality of having feta cheese baked in the center of the bread. This is so packed with fun flavors it’s hard to move on to the other courses. The intermezzo is mango and fresh basil, which is so tart and fresh that your palate is cleansed for the main course. For the main course, I ordered the Tomahawk steak, a bone-in ribeye, with spinach and asparagus for my sides. The steak comes in a white truffle oil and porcini mushroom demi-glacé. What is really exciting is the steak looks ready to cut; however, the chef has hand cut your meat into bite-sized morsels of delectable ecstasy. The spinach was sautéed to perfection, rich and creamy, and the asparagus was grilled to the perfect crunch. Outstanding is all I can say - just outstanding all-around. My server, Louis, went out of his way to make this one of the best meals I have ever had. If you go here and try to tell me this is not great food or one of the best culinary experiences you have ever had, you will be hung at high noon in front of a Jersey Mike’s. Chatham’s Place is fantastic. Without reservation, the Big Boy strongly recommends this restaurant as the epitome of fine dining.

Chatham's Place was one of the best dining experiences that I’ve ever had. The staff was very friendly. We were greeted at the door with a warm handshake and a pleasant smile. Our waiter, Joe, was amazing. Joe took care of our every need and even made suggestions that were very helpful. I made a reservation to have dinner to celebrate a friend’s anniversary. Our table was reserved for the night so we didn’t feel rushed at all. We were able to enjoy conversation and our food at our own pace. There was a pianist playing great music all night and taking requests. The food was amazing. I can't say enough. I wanted more.

This is one of the best fine dining restaurants I’ve been to! The service and food is top notch chefs kiss 💋 Soufflé the 20 min wait for them to make it was worth it! Best dessert Make sure to make reservations in advance it does get booked quickly! My server Kevin was awesome and his recommendations for appetizers and desserts were the best and I like how all the servers came to my table and quickly took away anything I was done with and checked to see if I needed any more drinks or food. And I like how you have the table all night for yourself once you make the reservations but they do require a credit card on file but def a place to check out in doctor Philips area it is pricy but it was worth it! This is what I ordered! Duck 🦆 Potatoes 🥔 Asparagus Chicken 🍗 Mojito & rum punch cocktail 🍹 Chefs special Bread 🥖 Pasta mushroom appetizer Passion fruit sorbet with cavier 🍨

An amazing dinning experience. Lorenzo and the entire staff were great. They helped us celebrate our 45th wedding celebration. They have only one setting per table so the table was ours for three and a half hours. Thoroughly enjoyed Piano Man. Also you may be lucky as we were to have a table next to Hollywood CA stars. And everyone was mannerly and left them alone to enjoy their dinners. What a great place.

Had such a beautiful time!! Thank you so much for making our anniversary dinner a memorable one. Food was great and staff was too. Our waiter Lorenzo and Bob the pianist were awesome. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to enjoy a nice romantic dinner. Everything we ate was of good quality! The chefs working here take pride in their work and the passion in there food really shows. Loved every single dish we had tonight from the starters to the chef tasting’s they gave us. Each one was great and special. Continue doing what you do your restaurant is a gem. Thank you again

This was one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. Chris was our server... top notch! Karen was fantastic making us feel very welcome. Lorenzo was wonderfully in charge, aware of food flow, staff and guest experience. He was incredible! Food was fantastic! Loved Bob and his piano.
