Best Historic Restaurants in Tanglewood

The Chumley House in Fort Worth is a gem of an upscale dining experience that effortlessly blends culinary creativity with warm, impeccable service. Our recent visit to celebrate our 20th anniversary was nothing short of extraordinary, thanks to the standout dishes, exceptional staff, and a wonderful ambiance that will immediately remind one of a comfortable old home nestled on the English countryside. The ambiance, with its cozy yet elegant touches, sets the perfect tone for a memorable meal. The beef Wellington was a highlight—perfectly cooked, with tender beef encased in a crisp, golden pastry that melted in the mouth. Equally impressive was the butter chicken pot pie, a delightful fusion of bold Indian spices and comforting, flaky crust that elevated a classic dish to new heights. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding was pure indulgence—rich, moist, and paired with a luscious sauce that left us scraping the plate. What truly set this evening apart was the service. Our server, Linda, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, ensuring every detail was perfect without ever feeling intrusive. The cherry on top was a visit from Ben, the General Manager, whose thoughtful check-in made us feel like honored guests rather than just diners. His presence added a personal touch that turned our milestone celebration into a memory that we’ll cherish. The Chumley House isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience. For a special occasion or simply a night of exquisite dining, this Fort Worth standout delivers on every front!

The food was well presented and tasted great. Ashton was very attentive and a great representative of the restaurant team.

Food and service were excellent! We will dine here again. Everyone gave the restaurant a thumbs up!

We visited for Valentine's Day and took advantage of the special fixed menu. It was delicious! Getting an early reservation meant the brewery was relatively quiet, though live Jazz was about to start when we were leaving. Our server was light on checking in, but with the fixed menu we didn't need the attention. The beers were excellent. Highly recommend spending a special occasion here!
