    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.

    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 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.

    Beef Wellington and The Regal Potato

    Chumley House's near perfect five star rating is well deserved. The restaurant is dimly lit and cozy which is fitting to the European steakhouse concept. We sat on the patio which is shaded and set off from the busy street by planters and greenery. Those who enjoy the details and presentation will have a lot to appreciate. Ft Worth restaurants aren't known for tiny cups of rose tea and beautiful pastry crust, which makes Chumley House even more special.

    The service was top tier and the vibe was elevated yet relaxed. The food was very well seasoned with the lamb and butter chicken pot pie being the standouts but I didn't at all care for the honey truffle gnudi. Would come back to try out so more stuff.

    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.

    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.

    We had a special birthday dinner date and had a wonderful experience. Greeted by a friendly hostess and led to a more private booth near the bar. Mood lighting 101 and it added to the sophisticated vibes. We tried multiple courses and fell in live with the salmon starter and scallops. Extremely tasty with amazing sides, it was a comforting and exotic ride for my palate. Our cocktails well made and refreshing. The hit of the night was the amazing lamb! Fabulous flavor and presentation from the seasoning of the lamb and the sweet carrots, with just the right amount of spice. The blue crab pot pie was beautifully presented but a bit salty for our taste. Pasta is made in house and on my list next time. Service was very attentive and knowledgeable. We were so full and didn't have room for dessert. Manager was kind and friendly with patrons. Definitely a wonderful way to celebrate a milestone birthday!

    Great food, great ambiance, great service. Highly recommend the beef Wellington, mafaldine pasta, the regal potatoes, steak was cooked perfectly, saag paneer and the quail appetizer! I wish we could have tried more! We got the lamb and that was great too but found the rest stood out more. The stroganoff had great flavor but I wished there was more pasta. Nothing we had here was bad!

    Omgosh, everything about this place was perfection! The fact that you get to start off with a warm tea and little bits of heaven is a telling sign that you are about to have an enjoyable dinner experience. Atmosphere and service was perfection and every drink and meal arrived beautifully. Everything tasted as good as it looked. I cant believe im just now finding this place. We came here for a friends birthday, but ill be going back a lot more often!

    Chumley House is a new British steakhouse in the museum district. It's excellent! I've been here a couple of times and it's always great. The food is interesting, who'd thought a British steakhouse would be a good fit in FTX. Their service is impeccable, CarrieAnn us my favorite. The dining room is beautiful, but it is a bit small, so be sure to make a reservation. They also have a patio, for those nice Texas Spring days. I definitely recommend!

    Where Bond cocktails, British charm, and Beef Wellington meet in holy matrimony. Let me set the stage: dim lighting, wood so polished you could shave in the reflection, and a logo so regal it belongs on a wax seal. The Chumley House isn't just dinner--it's a passport to a better version of yourself, somewhere between Savile Row and a cigar lounge in Mayfair. We were greeted like minor royalty and handed--wait for it--complimentary scones and a cup of tea. Yes, tea. In Fort Worth. And not just any tea. This was a delicate infusion that whispered, "Welcome, lad. Let's pretend we're in London and the dollar still means something." The scone? Buttery, warm, and so tender it made me briefly regret all the years I wrote off British baking as bland. Then came cocktails. My wife, who looked devastatingly elegant as always, sipped on a Bond Vesper so sleek and dangerous I half-expected it to explode. Roku Gin, Ketel Vodka, Cocchi Americano--this wasn't a drink; it was a MI6 dossier in a glass. Meanwhile, I nursed an Old Fashioned made with Heaven's Door and Cynar over a single, confident rock. It tasted like Sinatra's handshake--bold, bitter, and unforgettable. Starter: The Artichoke & Caramelized Onion Dip with Malt Vinegar Chips arrived looking humble--but Lord, it had range. Hot, creamy, and tangy with a side of golden chips that had the crunch of a fresh banknote. I could've bathed in that dip. I nearly did. Then came the crown jewel. The Beef Wellington wasn't just served--it was presented. Tableside, no less. A polished server brought out the golden-crusted masterpiece like it was about to be knighted. He sliced it with precision, plating each portion with reverence while narrating the details: tenderloin, duxelle, tasso ham, pastry layers engineered by angels. It was culinary theater, and I ate it with the attention of a man who'd waited his whole life for this moment. We paired it with a glass of bold red--because a dish like this demands an equally confident partner--and shared The Regal Potato on the side. Layers of crisped perfection, topped with crispy pork belly and red onion marmalade, it was rich enough to make me question why I ever bothered with mashed. The whole evening felt like slipping into another life. A better one. The kind where you say things like "bring the car around" and mean it. Would I return? I'd show up in a three-piece suit next time, just out of respect. Would I recommend it? Yes. To anyone with taste buds, a heartbeat, and at least one decent jacket. 10/10. Would fake a British accent just to get seated faster. Long live The Chumley House.

    I don't recall the name of the drink, but it was an apple drink they recommended
    Art B.

    Ambience is phenomenal and the service is way above and beyond. Then the cocktails are through the roof and the food is even better. When I'm back in town, I will definitely visit this location again!

The free champagne, appetizer and popover bread was the perfect way to start our meal. The popover is to die for, and I'm still thinking about how delicious it they were. For the man course, I ordered the scallops. They were good, but I'd be open trying another dish on the menu next time. Wicked Butcher is definitely a classy establishment to visit when if you enjoy peaceful and beautiful ambiance in the downtown area.
