Chadwick's American Table & Cocktails — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

We had high expectations for this place being fans of Primehouse. Sadly it did not meet expectations. While our server was kind and friendly, food service was slow. It took awhile to be greeted after being sat down. Once we placed our order, it was fast downhill from there. The bread service was hard, nearly inedible. Our appetizer took ridiculously long to come out. We waited nearly an hour it came out. Our steaks came out, we ordered it the same way, medium, and they came out completely different tasting and cooks. The outside was quicked seared on such a high heated that it was really crusty and tasted of burnt oil and the other tasted like burnt chicken fat. Too odd tasting for us. One steak was completely rare. The sides were bland, and more like a food banquet hall style, of unseasoned and soggy veggies and overcooked croquettes. For as along as we waited it was an utter disappointment. Our server was so apologetic, offered to change it, but we had enough of the wait and environment, we politely declined and just asked for the check. Then our server brought over the manager, and this is what completely turned us off. The manager was very condescending. She was a complete mess. She was aggressive for no reason. We just wanted the check to leave. She was trying to get a rise out of us and you could tell that even the server was uncomfortable with how unprofessional the manager was that she went out of her was to apologize and offer a gift card to us. We said it was no big deal, it wasn't her fault and not to stress about it. We'd still take care of her because she was so kind. Another, off putting thing, besides the rude old lady of a manager is that they overserved patrons alcohol, so what should've been a upscale environment, turned into a pub scene with one patron falling off his chair, speaking so belligerent and loud. It was very trashy and to think that was during a weekday evening. It was super uncomfortable. The guy who was completely trashed started saying "don't worry im not going to sue" and just continued to drink. I expect this behavior in a pub but not at something considered to be...

Fantastic menu

Amazing staff

Relaxing atmosphere (not AS relaxing as it could have been, our baby was there but he was treated warmly and he did well!)

They started us with a bread basket of sourdough with a stylish tin of herb butter which was brilliant.

On to drinks, I went with a Moscow mule and my wife had a black Manhattan, both perfectly concocted.

I started with the truffle mac and cheese sans the garlic aioli. The dish was a one two punch of cheese with a hint of truffle which is great as when other places advertise truffle items on their menus, the dish is overloaded with the taste. It was pretty warm and came served in a mid depth soup plate. There was an OK amount but for $13, I did expect more.

Next up, we ordered the parmesan truffle fries and they were a hit! Crunchy but not burned, meaty but not undercooked, just the right amount served with two metal servers of ketchup.

On to the main!

I ordered a grilled chicken bruschetta with a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The bruschetta was the right amount of tang, however, I would have preferred the bruschetta to be room temperature as it did cool down the two perfectly grilled pounded out chicken tenders.

My wife ordered the lamb chops, cooked medium rare, and they came out absolutely beautiful with asparagus.

Our son had some parmesan fries, a lamb lollipop, and some water. Overall, not being incredibly picky, he enjoyed it.

Our server, she was amazing, she brought us crayons for our son, she was incredibly pleasant, and she was very attentive.

Overall, there were some items here and there which could have been slightly better but I'm just nitpicking as the grand experience was super pleasant and the food was tasty.

We're definitely...

Went for Fathers Day and was very taken back with the attitude of a local restaurant we frequented for years . They were coming at us with up charges for the already inflated holiday menu that we felt like we were being scammed. They added in the service charge for less people than the normal amount “because they could”plus it was a “ holiday “ so the lazy waitress kept hiding and disappearing in a hidden corner on her phone . She neglected to realize she still had a table..Sharing charge we never had before . The ridiculous inflated prices from the normal prices . From all ends . The attitude in there makes me not want to return. If it wasn’t for the assistant that tried to compensate for the lazy waitress I would have written a worse review. I’m just not sure where the waitress kept disappearing to . Maybe she took a ride home and returned for her guaranteed added unearned tip on a falsely inflated holiday menu and falsely added extras because of the holiday excuse from all directions. The lesson learned aside from staying away from this scammer is to read the fine print that doesn’t exist as it’s made up with any opportunity to have an extra hidden cost stuck in there . It’s sad that a restaurant would want to be associated with such low class practices. I think it’s time for a new owner and the current owners being put out to pasture. Apparently they have aged out of the restaurant business. You’ll say anything that isn’t true about what had happened our Last trip there . The prices were inflated we were never offered additional sides to cover the sharing charge and the waitress WAS hiding out on her phone in the empty room behind us on her phone . The straws you are grasping at are...
