    Menu and sparkling water with limes and cucumbers
    Sarah D.

    Hands down the best restaurant experience in Fort Worth. The food, the service, the presentation, the ambiance - everything about our dinner here was such a memorable and excellent experience. We came during restaurant week and got the dinner for two. For the appetizers we had the beef tartar and salmon crudo. Absolutely insane. Then for our main dishes we had the short rib and chicken schnitzel. The short rib was great but the schnitzel was literally out of this world. The lemon parm cream was TO DIE FOR. I am counting down the minutes till we get to go back. Phenomenal experience. 10/10 in every way.

    The food was incredible! Everything was flavorful, delightful and delicious. The presentation of each plate was stunning and immaculate. Our waiter gave us great recommendations and was very attentive. The entire staff paid attention to every detail. We had such a great dining experience.

    WHAT! A group of friends went to Fort Worth for the Gaga concert and wanted to try this place out. They didn't have any reservations, but the day of, had one for the time we needed!! We scored big on that. We were able to find parking, but I also believe they have valet. The staff is incredibly welcoming and kind. Our server was Sunny, and she was funny, sweet and very attentive. We ordered a lot of food to try and everything was delicious. Ordered (for 5 people): - Little Gem Wedges.. SUPERB, give me 10. - Artichoke & Caramelized Onion Dip, 5/5.. chips were divine - Blue Crab Pot Pie.. ugh, so good. Crab pieces were HUGE. - Beef Wellington (10/10!) SO GOOD.. esp what they are known for. Don't miss out - NY Strip, ugh.. even better.. but by the time this dish came, I was so full.. I could only eat 2 pieces - Bucatini Pasta.. sad to admit, but I couldn't eat it cause I was too full, LOL. But friends said it was good, not the highlight of dinner though. For sides, get the broccoli and potatoes!! Definitely give this place a shot. It's pricey.. but very good. So take your gal or guy on a sweet little date!

    Everything was wonderful! From the drinks, to the service, to the food. My friend and I enjoyed the dip, special pasta (oysters and caviar in a champagne cream sauce), and the Beef Wellington with the potatoes and broccolini as sides. Everything was phenomenal! We also got a complimentary sticky toffee pudding for my friend's birthday. Highly recommend for any occasion!

    Service was impeccable from start to finish. My husband ordered the Ghost of Potosi, and I started with the Pimm's Spritz--such a refreshing, well-balanced cocktail to kick off the evening. They also served us with complimentary herb scones and rose tea, which were such a lovely touch. Both were absolutely delicious and set the tone for the meal. Every dish we tried was outstanding. We began with the smoked pork belly, which had a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and a subtle kick of spice. For our mains, the beef Wellington was perfection--tender, flavorful beef wrapped in beautifully flaky pastry. The lamb long bone tandoori was expertly seasoned and cooked just right. The accompanying potatoes were a highlight as well--crispy on the outside with a soft, hash brown-like center. We were already full by the end of our meal, so we took the sticky toffee pudding with rum caramel to go--and it was absolutely worth enjoying later. Rich, decadent, and truly heavenly. The ambiance is elegant and refined, making it a wonderful spot for a special night out. A memorable dining experience all around.

    I have so much to say as this is one of the best both in tasting and service. Linda was amazing and the leadership was very welcoming. The evening was cool and the perfect environment.

    Lamb and a side of regal potatoes

    One word - WOW! We visited Fort Worth for the BBQ but ended up leaving with Chumley House as our favorite food destination. Every dish we ordered was a hit and included a playful twist on British cuisine with very interesting and flavorful spices that unexpectedly elevated the whole dinner service. I think it can be hard to find reasonably priced meat entrees that don't sacrifice on quality or taste, so a special call out to the delicious lamb that was perfectly cooked with an expert crust. In addition to the delicious food, the wait staff was truly 10/10. Our waiter Daniel took a lot of time with our table to walk us through the menu and give detailed descriptions on the foods flavor profile. We really appreciated how the meal was spaced which gave us time to enjoy each dish. We will absolutely be coming back to Chumley House next time we visit Fort Worth - if you can pick one restaurant during your stay, I would pick here!

    Beef Wellington
    Jennifer T.

    It was my first time coming here, and the atmosphere was charming and upscale. I finally got to try the Beef Wellington. Oh my gosh, it was so delicious! The pastry was perfectly flaky and wrapped around the beef beautifully. I also tried the bread with butter, which I thought was interesting; it had a curry-like flavor. I'd definitely come back to check out some of the other menu items.

    Service, food and vibes all 10/10. Loved the rose tea at the beginning and popovers were amazing.

    Kale and Apple Salad
    Mary P.

    I fear I did not dine at The Chumley House. I fear I experienced a cinematic event with a fork. First of all, the kale and apple salad arrived on a plate so cold it had the emotional distance of a Victorian boarding school. Stunning. Refreshing. Crisp enough to make me feel like my internal organs had been power-washed. I briefly forgave kale for everything it's ever done. The quail special then descended upon the table like it had just completed a hero's journey. Smoky, tender, deeply flavorful. If this quail had a memoir, I would read it. Then the sea bass special showed up and said, "Oh, you thought we were being subtle tonight?" Absolutely not. Flavor bomb. Layers. Depth. Personality. This fish had main-character energy. The beef Wellington was less of a dish and more of a royal decree. The pastry shattered dramatically. The beef was perfect. I stared at it in silence for a full five seconds like I had just witnessed a solar eclipse. If I could legally adopt it, I would. Now listen carefully because this is where lives are changed: You MUST get the ice box dessert. It tastes like someone condensed joy, nostalgia, and a polite Southern grandmother into a single slice. And the beignets with vanilla sauce?? These were not desserts. These were soft, powdered sugar-covered declarations of love. That vanilla sauce should be bottled, insured, and kept under national protection. Meanwhile, the people watching here deserves its own award category. You've got anniversary couples, mysterious business meetings, someone definitely on a first date overselling their personality, and at least one table that looked like they just bought a ranch at auction. I was emotionally invested in everyone. The ambiance is what I would describe as "cowboy chic meets secret society supper club." Dim lighting, warm tones, a buzz of conversation, and just enough drama in the air to make you feel like something important is happening -- even if that important thing is you ordering a second dessert. Final verdict: I came for dinner. I left with a new personality, a mild emotional dependency on pastry, and the overwhelming urge to tell strangers about this meal. I will be back. Possibly in a hat. Possibly with reinforceme

    We enjoyed this place so much, we went back. We went specifically to try the beef Wellington which was as amazing. Once again, the environment and service were amazing. I noticed that one staff member had his facial piercings in and I appreciate that the restaurant allows him to express himself. Hamid was super knowledgeable about the menu and helpful.

    We enjoyed this dinner so much. The only thing left for me to take a photo of was that almost empty glass of wine. Such a great experience.

    Chimney House is such a gem in Fort Worth. The space is super cute with a darker, cozy vibe that can feel romantic, but we also see plenty of families dining there comfortably too -- it's a really nice balance. We are obsessed with the chicken schnitzel -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The Beef Wellington is another standout and absolutely worth ordering. They also start you with a warm tea and a little bread cone with whipped butter, which is honestly one of my favorite little details and such a unique touch. For appetizers, the dip with chips is amazing (we always get it), and they have a great wine selection to pair with dinner. Service has always been exceptional. Both managers consistently take wonderful care of us, and you can really feel the hospitality. We usually go on Sundays when they open at 4:30pm, and valet parking right next door makes everything easy and convenient. Definitely one of our go-to places when we're in Fort Worth.

    Shirt rib steak
    Pierce C.

    All the food was really tasty. It had a nice vibe inside and overall was a good experience. The pork belly was my favorite thing. The Short rib was really good but not my favorite overall. The server was very kind, but we did have to as multiple times to turn down the volume because my Dad and I are both pretty hard of hearing as it is.

The little extras they provide are a welcome addition and are truly incredible in their own right, from the glass of champagne, to the little round crispy appetizer ball thingy (I'm not even sure what it is but it's wonderful) with the accompanying aioli, to the delicate and airy popovers; what a beginning to each meal! I started with the Caesar salad, which was fresh, crisp and the dressing was subtle but authentic. I then varied from tradition and ordered the sea bass for my entree. Oh my what a treat! Perfectly cooked and paired well with the basmati rice and curry sauce. Lastly, the chocolate tart was so rich and delicious; a perfect ending to a great meal.

Let me just give a special shoutout to the service in particular. I have not had such a good set of servers (from front of house to bartenders to waitresses) in a very long time. They were excellent. The food was also very good. However, to be honest, the steak was under-seasoned and a little on the tough side. I bought a 12-once ribeye and we split the 32-ounce tomahawk steak. Visually, stunning. But the ribeye was certainly on the tougher side and both steaks needed salt. Overall, really good experience - but I was expecting better flavor from the star dishes. Nonetheless, still would recommend.

While it was a lovely experience in a stunning environment, it fell a bit short of the high bar you'd expect for a $95/pp tea service. The Good: First and foremost, the environment is absolutely beautiful. The Bowie House, Bricks & Horses restaurant, and the Mulberry Room itself are gorgeously decorated with a sophisticated Texas Western theme. The atmosphere in the Mulberry library is intimate and visually striking. Additionally, the service was excellent from start to finish, being both attentive and professional. The food portions are quite generous, with both the savories and sweets served together on a single tower. The sweets were the highlight of the food, as they were very delicious and surprisingly large. We also really enjoyed the tea selections themselves, particularly the Earl Grey and the plum rooibos. The Letdowns: Unfortunately, a few details missed the mark, especially considering the premium price point: - The "Champagne": The experience is advertised as including a glass of Champagne, but we were actually served Prosecco. At nearly $100 a person, substituting Prosecco for real Champagne or Cremant is a major disappointment. - The Tea Service: Instead of receiving a teapot to enjoy throughout the afternoon, the tea is steeped directly in the cup. This limits you to a single cup per tea variety, though to be fair, I didn't ask if refills were an option. - Food Refinement: While the portions were large and the savories were tasty, they lacked the elegance of a traditional tea. Every savory option was open-faced and heavily blanketed in microgreens and edible flowers, which felt a bit unrefined. - Comfort & Conversation: The Mulberry library features low couches, deep chairs, and coffee tables. While this setup would be absolutely perfect for relaxing with a glass of whiskey, it makes leaning over to eat finger foods highly uncomfortable. Furthermore, the seating layout isn't ideal for holding a natural conversation with the people in your party. Overall: It is a nice experience in a breathtaking Fort Worth hotel, but I'm not sure I would return. If the price point were lower, the execution would make more sense. However, given the other highly refined afternoon tea options available across DFW for less money, this one doesn't quite live up to its price tag.
