Creative menu, Wonderful dining experience, servers made us feel like we were frequent guests, although it was our first time, the menu is vast and diverse, with plenty of options, many daily specials, we had sampled 3 appetizers and a salad, porter house steak for 2 and 4 different dessert, because we couldn’t decide between the great choices..
All foods are fresh, done correctly and served in the right temperature, beautiful plating and. Quiet atmosphere adds to the overall experience. I highly recommend this restaurant and bar! We stayed after closing time, and servers gave us the space and time to enjoy our meal and company.

The ambience and service was great, our waiters were excellent and attentive. We happened to order seafood dishes which didn't really meet our expectations, this place is better for ordering steak and burger dishes. Dessert didn't disappoint! More

We ordered the Black Angus shell steak and the filet mignon with blue cheese sauce—absolutely loved it. The bacon jam was excellent, mashed potatoes were good, and the meat itself was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing
The waiters were very kind and attentive. The atmosphere is really nice and calm no loud music, so you can actually talk and enjoy wine
One small downside: no Apple Pay
Would definitely come back

Charming old school steakhouse, hands down my go-to steakhouse in Brooklyn for special occasions. We had the porterhouse for 2, pork chop and fried calamari. Love both the entrees but will skip the calamari next time (have had better elsewhere). Overall excellent ambience, great food and easy to find free street parking on the block. Highly recommended!

There’s a reason Chadwick’s is a neighborhood staple. The food is outstanding and priced incredibly fairly. The dining room is cozy, romantic and perfectly lit. Service is extremely welcoming and attentive. Brian was a pleasure to have as a server and made our dinner extra enjoyable. Even the busboys were top notch. We cannot wait until our next visit !! Highly recommended.
