Chadwick's

Really good menu, would not expect to find such a menu in bay ridge. The decor is pretty tacky and old but the food makes up for the ambiance. This is the best restaurant in Bay Ridge by far!!!!

Pros: Food

Cons: Decor

Everytime I go there I have an amazing time. The food is really good, I mean I'm picky so if I say that I love it I mean it. The atmosphere is very nice, great place to bring a date or a big group of friends, they always play good music and the staff is usually friendly. I totally recommend it !!

I know it's been said on here before, but I'd love to chime in with the chorus- Chadwick's is an eating experience that has no parallel in Brooklyn. Anytime I've ever eaten here (and I do often-maybe once a week at least) the service and the food have been outstanding. Any waitstaff that have helped us are extremely attentive and polite- let's face it, you want Outback, then go eat at that zoo. Chadwick's is dining at the next level. Chad's food is superb- we haven't had a bum meal yet. Always have a good listen to the specials; more often than not, they are extremely good (roasted pepper ravioli anyone?). The shrimp cocktail is divine. There's always a basket of hot bread (I emphasize hot because I haven't really gotten hot bread anywhere else). Excellent selections from the bar too. I've never really had to wait (I think the longest was 15 min, but generally I can walk right in without a reservation). I love the main dining room; it's rustic and cozy. In the winter they put the fireplace on too. The desserts are fantastic too- try the creme brulee. All told, I can't recommend Chadwick's enough, whether you are having a special occasion there or just a night out to eat!

Pros: Awesome food, great service, lovely dining room, great drinks and desserts. Usually no wait.

Cons: Some people would consider it expensive (it's not). A little busy towards the weekend.

Since i moved to Bay Ridge about 6 months ago, i have been to this local restaurant 3 times already! Nothing i could really complaint! Their NY steak is the best i have had in the Bay Ridge area, & i personally believe that they do a way better job than their rival "STEAK HOUSE" in the neighborhood. I always enjoy the size comes with the meal too. Reasonable price too! (for only like $26-27, i think it is very good value) Too bad i am on my diet lately, otherwise, i would definitely visit them at least once a week.

Loved this place ! I am new to Brooklyn (lived in Manhattan for 15 years) and went with a friend who loves this place. I cannot tell you how pleased I was. I have heard that the Chef has since left, so I hope it continues to be a first rate restaurant. I had a seared scallop app that was wonderful, my friend had fried calamari (yes, fried calamari) that was among the best I have ever tasted, perfectly cooked and seasoned.
He then had the pasta with duck ragu which was quite lovely and I had a wonderful juicy veal chop with polenta and broccoli rabe. No room for dessert on this visit. Service was friendly and relaxed (In a good way)

Pros: Food, Ambience, Service

Cons: None

We celebrated my dad's 72nd Bday here. My family has lived in Bay Ridge for 26 years. We've frequently passed by Chadwick's and I'm happy I suggested to try out this neighborhood establishment. The award winning Japanese crab cakes were delicious, but what really tingled my tastebuds was the scallop appetizer. Perfectly seasoned and cooked -- the best scallops I've ever had, and I've had my share. The entrees were good too -- huge portions! Service was excellent. I was worried that we'd be snuffed because the restaurant was so elegant, but we were all in jeans. But the waiter was attentive and friendly. When he wasn't sure if a wine would be too dry for my liking, he asked the bartender and quickly returned with an answer. Establishments like Chadwick's is what makes Bay Ridge a great area for food lovers.

Pros: Great food, service, and atmosphere

Cons: Can be pricey, but you really get huge portions for what you pay

I had my baby boy's baptism affair here a few a days ago. I was impressed by the level of service and kid freindly staff.

Food was great...dessert was awesome...the ambiance was very warm and cozy. There was a fireplace in the dining area...I wonder if it is a working one...if so, it would be really cozy. There's valet parking...wish I knew earlier instead of circling for parking around the restaurant. Live Entertainment on weekends...service was good. we ordered the Coconut crusted snapper...the seabass and the filet mignon...all were nicely prepared. Would definitely go back and try the others on the menu

Pros: Food, Valet, Decor

Cons: close at 11pm on sat

I've been to many places & Chadwick's tops them all. Its very hard to eat out w/ 4 kids, and being Asian often get the cold shoulder. But not here, host/servers were welcoming and good with kids, no kids menu (expected from upscale places) but made accomodations. MEAL about $20-45, or pre-fix dinner at $18. There was no plate charge for sharing. I was w/ 5 adults and 6 kids (all under 8), kids shared Chix parm & all finished (impressive). We garrived 30 min prior to reservation &seated within minutes. In hour & half we were done and way out and valet had car waiting. We were not rushed, service was quick, excellent and FRIENDLY. Glass of house wine was huge @ less than $7. I just can't say enough of this place. When I am in NY, forget others..CHATWICK'S is the place for me to go

Pros: Quality of food, Excel Service, Friendly

Cons: Bit char steak, Huge portion

Like so many of our other favorite restaurants in Bay Ridge, Chadwicks is top notch. The food, service and decor all help to enhance yor dining experience. I guarantee you will be tremedously satisfied. Chadwicks serves as the "Steak House" for locals as well as City-ites who can't help but love this place. Luger quality with Bay Ridge ambience. Although generally an older crowd, us 20 and 30 somethings can find ourselves at home (especially after you see the size of the shrimps in your cocktail or when you hear the pianoman play). Take a date or your significant other - or even your buddies. No matter who you bring - you will be sure to enjoy yourself and the food! Bon apetite!

Pros: Food, Service, Style

The food was fantastic. The stuffed shrimp were out of this world. It is a little pricey but worth it to have a great meal. I am recommending this place to everyone. Staff was very polite and always trying to please.

Enjoy

Pros: Nice Decor, Great Food, Good Service

Cons: None

After watching Chadwicks highlighted on an episode of Food TV Best of, I had to visit for myself - and was not disappointed. The portions are more than generous, the food was fantastic. Also - the manu was extremely creative. I went to Mesa Grill and was disappointed. But this place is impressive. I had the pistacchio crusted lamb chops - highly recommended! The staff was great - and all guests are seated by the owners.

Pros: portion size, service, food

Executive Chef Russell Titland's confidence and expertise shine in beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared food. No trendy frills, nothing extraneous - just no-nonsense, excellent food.

Basically traditional menu could have been boring and old-fashioned, but is instead updated enough to please modern palate: steaks, seafood, fish, poultry - ample portions (we took half home), seasoned with care and imagination. You're repeatedly reminded that Chef and staff are experienced, capable professionals. I had sage-and-prosciutto-wrapped veal tenderloin; my companion had duck with delightful cranberry relish; both served with carefully complementing, delicious sides. Creme brulee dessert was light, wonderful, served in portion big enough to share. Even house wine by the glass was better than you usually find.

Don't expect trendy atmosphere: room looks like it could have been designed in 1940s, but who cares - it's actually comfortable and inviting; with great food and unbeatable value, you can't go wrong.

Pros: Value, Portion size, Great chef

Cons: Stuffy room
