On March 16th my spouse and I called at 5:45 pm asking for an estimated wait time. I was told 20-30 minutes.
We arrived at 6:00 and were told the wait was 30-35 minutes. Ok fine.
We sat at the bar and had a drink. The bartender was fantastic! She seemed to handle that bar with grace and a smile. She didn’t miss a beat!
At 6:45 we noticed several walk ins that arrived at the same time as (party of 4 )being sat down.
Finally at 7:20 I went to the host stand and asked what our estimated time was, we were told an hour. At this point it was over an hour.
The host was rude, he told us he never should have taken our name down when we came. He said he would try to have us sat soon. We waited another 20 minutes and decided to leave. When we went back to the host stand to say we were leaving, the host immediately said “I AM DOING ALL I CAN, YOU HAVE TO WAIT!”. He did not even let us say we were leaving.
We are not people to complain but definitely felt we were mistreat yesterday. Neither of us have ever been to Chesapeake. Not the best first impression.
I have reached out to Chesapeake managers several times and have had no response. I called on Tuesday March 26th to make a reservation for March 30th and I was told I could not make a reservation that early in the week and to call the day of.
So how exactly do you get seated at this place?!

Food was not as outstanding as the atmosphere and pricing suggested it should be. Lobster was tough and the crab stuffing in the shrimp seemed 90% bread crumbs.

1 and half hours just to get the appetizers. Still haven’t taken the main course order yet! And they’ll add 20% forced tip for this.

Ribs was awesome, salad not so much and the au gratin potatoes was not good. Bourbon salmon was good, bread was

It was Matt's second night. But he was an old pro from Alexanders steakhouse so he handled our business and did an amazing job. Food as usual was amazing. This place is a gem. Don't miss it.Dietary restrictions: They handled ALL OF OUR ALLERGIES.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu was great value

Explain a reservation system that doesn't have a table ready at the time you reserved- but is based upon when you check in- arrived at 6:50 for our 7 pm- still haven't been seated at 7:25.... flawed reservations system.

Wife and I come at least 3 times a year from st. Louis and stay a few days, went last night for my birthday dinner and I had the prime rib and she had the Crab legs! Killer food every time and last night didn't disappoint and our waiter Scott was totally awesome and was definitely on the ball and made it an amazing experience again!! We will never question coming back!

Been 3 times now since 1997.. first 2 absolutely sucked balls, this 3rd time was absolutely a charm.. waitress was on point food was perfectly cooked, n priced! Goin back for
Even though they were super busy, they allowed me to get a pick-up order. A waitress brought the food to my car. It was our 40th anniversary. The food was spectacular! From the shrimp appetizers to the aged 14 Oz ribeye steaks, the food was perfect.

Absolutely delicious!! I stumbled upon this gem while visiting Springfield for a day. It got busy pretty quickly shortly after opening, so we decided to sit at the bar. The service was amazing and the food was just as amazing. We will be making a special trip just to eat here again! Definitely a must try!
