Chatham’s Place

Chatham’s Place Restaurant Review:

Long before Sand Lake Road was known as Orlando’s Restaurant Row, Chatham’s Place had been serving up continental European cuisine for over two decades. Chef-owner Tony Lopez prides himself on the farm-to-table tradition that the restaurant continues today, hosting both locals and traveling conventioneers from nearby International Drive. Tucked inside a nondescript office building, Chatham’s Place’s dining room is intimate, and the brief menu lists appetizers, salads and entrées. If you’re lucky, the kitchen may be offering the buttery seared foie gras; otherwise, try the beef carpaccio with arugula and endives, or the signature Chatham’s Caesar salad. Entrées include Florida black grouper in pecan butter with scallions; whole rack of lamb in au jus; and rigatoni Apalachicola with jumbo lump crab meat in tomato béchamel sauce. For dessert, we suggest the white chocolate ricotta soufflé with mixed berries. Wines are globally sourced.
