Our first time here but our host friends been here before. Great steaks, exquisite wine list, and awesome service from NOLAN who was knowledgeable about the menu, the evening's specials and was there to check on us at the right time!!! Rib eyes, Pork chops and Filet mignon were ordered and the right temperature came out and with the four sides or cream corn and spinach, sautéed mushrooms , and mashed potatoes.

I used to go to Chamberlain's often but it has been a while, we came back as I wanted the weekend Alaskan halibut special and it was more than worth it! The pumpkin seed crust was unexpected and delicious. My husband's prime rib was perfectly cooked and the au jus served in a candle warmer was the perfect elegant touch.

Erin

Wonderful experience. The service was spot on. The food was perfectly on point. Will definitely return.

Wow, what an amazing find during our stay in Dallas! Reasonably priced prime beef and it even came with a side which is almost unheard of these days. My dad got the prime rib which was excellent. I got the 8 oz A5 Wagyu. It was excellent as well and cooked to perfection. Great wait staff. If we lived close by this would be our go to place! Oh and the wedge salad was excellent too!

Amanda D.

We met up with some friends and had a fantastic dinner. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered a fillet and also some A5 Wagyu beef. Both were outstanding! We were there for restaurant week and will definitely go back sometime soon. They also have a completely separate cigar lounge that we found later on in the evening.
