Reviews for Chatham House in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, FL
We went here early last Saturday night and will absolutely be back again. This is one of the best restaurant experiences we... have had in recent memory. The staff was friendly but professional and the food was all delicious! Michael our server wasfantastic ... not overly chatty but very attentive and making us laugh at all the right times. The owner was keeping an eye oneverything but he didn't need to be since it went seamlessly at least to our eyes. My mother's drink - a manhattan - was evenjust right and that doesn't happen often and we like when she is happy! It is so nice to have a great evening out like this... I highly recommend everything about this restaurant. Read more
For starters - this restaurant seems out of place, seeing as it's surrounded by casual dining and bars. While it pretends to be... upscale, it truly feels like you're attending a banquet hall with elderlies. Service was really slow. I mean wayyyy too slowfor how empty the place was. There were maybe 10 people in the entire restaurant - not including our party. Yet, it took nearly50 minutes for 3 entrees and 2 appetizers to come out. Our server was super friendly, but some of the staff gave off a weirdvibe (something about the way the male staff members stare at you - CREEPY). When we asked for additional bread (bc the food wastaking forever to come out), the second round went from gourmet to publix hogie rolls. The meals were alright at best. Thesalads had better portions than the entrees and appetizers. In the end... 3 soups = $28 3 caesar salads = $44 2 apps = $31 3entrees = $74 2 beers = $10 4 soft drinks = $10 2 Coffees = $5.50 %20 gratuity automatically added = $40.50 $255 later - i felti could have had a feast in any of the other surrounding restaurants without coughing up this kind of tab. On top of that, onceyou've paid, they expect you to keep it moving. Would I come back? Hell nah. There's Waayy more quality for half the money insooo many places nearby. The sad thing is, if they dropped the elegant act and the ridiculous prices - it could actually be adecent spot to have a drink or two. To the owner... begin with a better menu and more reasonable prices, hmm? That is, unlessyou enjoy running a dead empty restaurant. The quality of the food and ambiance cannot justify what you charge. Ever been toOlive Garden??? Read more
The food is outstanding as is the service. Our waiter Michael is attentive, engaging, and thoughtful. Excellent cocktails, and... while the wine selection is not huge the offering is comprehensive and of high quality. Everyone in our party of five enjoyedtheir dining experience tremendously.

We found this restaurant on our last day of our vacation. I wish we would have found it first! We had appetizers, drinks and... dinner at the bar. Alex was our bartender/waiter. He was absolutely wonderful. If you come to Lauderdale By The Sea, pleasemake this restaurant your first stop. You will not be disappointed. Read more
I truly believe these people have a problem with single diners. The evening I went they were barely moderately busy, I waited... 40 minutes for the server to bring water and take my drink order. The it took 20 minutes to get water and bread. Then another30 minutes went by before he took my order. 45 minutes later my pasta finally arrived. I wanted to walk out. Keep in mind theentire tire the server kept apologizing so I believe the fault was the kitchen. Single diners, STAY AWAY Read more
