Reviews For The Chimney House - Grill & Cafe

Hidden Gem, we felt welcomed. Service was absolutely amazing! The food was delicious as well, I'll be honest, I had the churroso steak with rice and beans. The steak alone was very tender, but unfortunately, there was no seasoning on it. It was bland until I poured their homemade hotsauce on it. I was WOW'd by the delicious taste. They need to sell that hotsauce in a bottle! It was tasty and more on the mild side of heat. They offered to take it back and have me get something else, but after the hotsauce, I ate it all. The white rice and black beans were very flavorful, and I really enjoyed them. My partner had salmon, yellow rice, and vegetables. He loved it! The sauce on the salmon, he stated, was delicious! The vegetables were nice and big, and the rice was tasty. We ate it all! We'll definitely be back! Oh, and the Flan!!! It's soooo good! Make sure to get dessert!! Give them a try! We almost forgot to take photos. We had already started preparing to eat. Lol presentation was much better than the pictures I've provided.

From being greeted at the entrance by Camilla all the way through our lunch, she was amazing. The limeade drinks she prepared for us were so delicious. Her description of our dishes was on point. The dishes were delicious and filling. Save some room for coffee and desserts. The passion mousse was amazing, and the flan and rice pudding were creamy. Thank you for a relaxing afternoon and lunch.

We came on a Sunday night after traveling, the menu is amazing. I struggled with what to pick because there are so many delicious choices. The portions were great and we left very full. Fresh seafood. Cozy atmosphere plus patio seating. I love that this a restored/renovated 1924 historic home. Our family is Peruvian & Colombian and we were very impressed. We are from up north but I will stop by here any time we travel south again. 10/10

We come here before every show at the Broward Center. The restaurant is so convenient and the food is excellent. The best part of the experience is Camilla our server who we always try to request when we come for dinner. She is always so attentive, friendly and personable!

This was delicious and worth the price. This is not an inexpensive restaurant. You will need reservations during peak times. Plan ahead if you have a large party. I only saw one bathroom. The service is really good. I love the fact that the food was not too salty or sweet. You could really taste the food's natural flavor. Delicious, and I will budget to go again.

Food super delicious. Nice variety on menu. Service attentive and friendly. Inside seating is loud on a busy Friday night. Love the optional theater parking. Will Def be back.

This might be one of my favorite spots. Luckily I live close to it. The empanadas were some of the best I've ever had... soft and fresh. They has an in house hot sauce which was great too. Unfortunately I ate them too fast for a photo. Both dishes were great. The Lechon Asado was pork...delicious. Also got the Arroz Marinero, which was Spanish rice with seafood. The Cartagena seafood bisque is great. Also pictured below is the calamari and the churrasco steak. Both also really good! Cool staff, very mom n pop feel to the place. Well done.
