What People Say

Guests rave about the attentive staff and the variety of high-quality meats, from filet mignon to lamb chops. Many reviewers highlight the vibrant energy and beautiful ambiance, especially on the patio. The salad bar also gets high marks for its freshness and variety, making it a hit even for non-meat eaters. Several diners mention that it’s a great place to start the night with strong cocktails and upbeat energy.

Areas for Improvement

While the experience is memorable, some guests feel the price tag can be hefty—especially if you’re not a big eater. The noise level can rise during peak hours, which adds to the excitement but might not suit those looking for a quiet meal. And while there’s no formal dress code, expect a stylish crowd—so you might want to leave the band tee for the concert itself.

The Bottom Line

For a delicious, high-energy pre-show dinner that’s as exciting as the music you're about to hear, Chima Steakhouse delivers on all fronts.
