Food had no flavor at all. Split the shrimp Florentine with a friend. ZERO flavor. Was like ramen without the flavor packet. The vegetables were so overcooked, like cafeteria food. Absolutely disgusting for over $45 (included the $9 additional salad/veggies). Do not waste your money here. Blue Drum is so much better if you are spending this kind of money on a meal. Our server was somewhat inexperienced. Needs some coaching. Told us we would get potatoes with that $9 split but was not true with a pasta dish. The view was decent. The windows dirty with spiderwebs and poop on the windows. They should clean these windows weekly to enhance the ambiance. This place says old and worn out. Would not come back. read more

Went here for the 1st time on Wednesday September 3rd 2025 with my mom, aunt and a friend. We came here because we heard of their happy hour items, and decided to try it. Although we just tried the drinks, Happy hour wasn't all that busy and they have more italian fare food for their happy hour like meatball sliders, as well as lots of fish. Anyways, we entered the restaurant and my aunt and friend was already there. We just ordered a happy hour drink. I had the southbound greyhound drink with grapefruit vodka- which was good! My mom had the lemon drop martini. My only feedback is that the bartender didn't check my ID to ensure that i was indeed 21+, or whatever the drinking age is here. She did however, make sure to check on us, and was good at that. We left after finishing the drinks, and my aunt paid with cash, with tip as well. Perhaps we will be back another time! read more

If I could give 6 out of 5 stars I would. We had a party of 6 and a reservation and were seated immediately with a great view of the water. For appetizers we had mussels with a cream sauce, crab cakes, and stuffed mushrooms. They were all a big hit but the mussels were absolutely amazing. Our server, Chris, was so knowledgeable and accommodating with all our requests. We had no issues substituting items in our meals, which were also all top notch, both in quality of ingredients and in preparation skills. Definitely will return here if I'm in the area again. read more

We had reservations for 1:00 PM for their Mother's Day Brunch. What a mistake! Obviously if you want a good meal, you should arrive at the beginning time of the buffet. The buffet was sloppy, the carving station was awful. Many of the dishes were dried out. I was simply devastated as I was the one who made the suggestion to go to Chestnut Hill. We paid over $200 for 4 of us to have brunch and not one of us enjoyed it. Shame on C.H. If you are going to advertise a brunch with certain hours, then serve FRESH food for those certain hours. This has always been one of my favorite places but now I am just very disappointed. read more

A timeless dinner with incredible house made elements. Very accommodating to families and highly recommend! Amber was a delight!

The food was all seafood themed on the menu and the food was good,could be better.The service was absolutely amazing and our server was really nice.The place was beautiful and it was on the lake and we were all looking at alligators and turtles and stuff.I absolutely love this place and I'm just a kid read more

In town with family for ladies spring softball. We had made reservations and showed up early. Not a problem. Service was wonderful. Food was phenomenal. The decor was very classic and inviting. We had 6 in our group ages 4 to 63 and we all were extremely happy with our experience. We would definitely recommend Chestnut Hill. read more

Food service made us feel comfortable, that we mattered, and regal. We have two staff members who check on us, but not too much...water glasses filled always, and when our cocktail glasses were empty they noticed. Food was excellent, steak cooked perfectly, vegetables just right and each one of us enjoyed our meals. Ambiance was a little old timely but we loved it. We were even suprised about the small lake behind the restaurant which added to the ambience.. Go to eat there you will not be disappointed. read more

A family staple restaurant to visit every year we go to MB...they can accommodate large groups (ours was 22 plus 2 high chairs) which is always a plus! The rolls can never come fast enough for our family, their special lime vinaigrette is a chef's kiss! Get there early enough and there's an early bird price special. The seafood casserole is a favorite! read more

What a wonderful restaurant this is! Everything here is fantastic! Great service, they seated us in a nice location right at the window overlooking the water. Great server- Lacey was extremely personable and made us feel like we were her only table. Food was beyond fantastic! We both had steaks, mine came with crab cakes and they were perfect. Drinks were not watered down and delicious! Can't wait to come back. read more

We have eaten here numerous times over the last 20 plus years. We had not been in several years and went last night. The server was wonderful, the food was not. The vegetables were overcooked like they had been cooked earlier and sat waiting to be warmed up. I ordered seafood casserole and it was awful. It mainly had breading very thick on the bottom and some seafood on top with melted cheese. A disappointing experience. I sent it back since it was so dry and the manager came out and said, "the oven was probably too hot." It had no flavor. He took it off our ticket and gave us a coupon for an appetizer the "next time we come in." There won't be a next time. No offer of a dessert, had many excuses for the meal. I gave the coupon to someone who just came in. Poor customer service. read more

Have always enjoyed this restaurant on our trips to M Beach. Food is good. We always eat here one or two nights during our 2 week stay. Our only negative was the bill. There were two of us and a 20% gratuity was automatically added to bill (we usually tip more) AND the "credit card fee" was also added although we were paying with debit card which our home restaurants treat as cash - so no credit card fee. The waitress said it was a "new system" and she would relate our feelings to manager but the tip and credit card fee were in the computer and could not be changed. Have not experienced this at other M Beach restaurants. Disappointing! read more

I went here for my 25th birthday last night. My husband and I had a phenomenal experience. Quick and kind service with excellent food, drink and a gorgeous waterfront view. The ambiance was exquisite and romantic. Will absolutely make another visit next time we're in the area. read more

Always try to eat here when in town. Beautiful setting. Nice bar. View on the water/pond. Great service and fantastic food. Nice basket of blueberry muffins and cheese bread to try while pondering the menu. Yummy oysters Rockefeller. We all had veal Neptune which was absolutely delicious. Lightly breaded veal, Hollandaise sauce with scallops, shrimp, and crab meat. Lots of places to eat at the a beach. Got to try this family owned local place. Always good. read more

I was looking for a fine dining restaurant that featured a menu with local seafood and a variety of other food items for the other members in my group. Chestnut Hill did not disappoint. The broiled and fried seafood platter was abundant with deliciously prepared fish, scallops, crab cake and shrimp. The vegetables were seasoned perfectly, and the homemade bread basket was great. The catch of the day was grouper...deliciously prepared. Our server, Delilah, was very accommodating to all of our needs. We sat at a table with the perfect view of the water, witnessing the wildlife in their natural habitat. I will definitely come back to Chestnut Hill and recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting a delicious meal at reasonably priced rates. read more

Our waiter, Chris was excellent. The food was outstanding. We loved the views of the lake. Highly recommend. Also, the food prices were spot on. read more

Beautiful setting, very welcoming. Spacious dining rooms. And a guest alligator. We had a party of eight and they sat us as soon as we arrived for our 6:30 reservation. The hostess seemed excited to have us and made us feel special. Our waitress, Bryce, did a great job and was very attentive. Everyone's meal were perfectly presented and all were happy. I have to give a special shout out for my pork Marsala. Might be the best sauce I have ever eaten. Really. I'll go back just for that. Side salads were plenty big and fresh. Cheddar biscuits and blueberry muffins by the basketful. Just be aware that you must be able to navigate steps to the dining room or back to the restrooms. read more

Our server Delilah was great. The entrees were well prepared and perfect. Very special location overlooking the lake. Thank you!

Good service, food was also good, I got the medallion topped with crab cake and my wife got a broiled seafood platter.

So before I get into this, I'll say that I am a firm believer in reviewing for what a restaurant intends to be rather than some objective (that is in actuality subjective) standard across the board. This is not where you take your foodie friends for adventurous dining. This is where you go when you've got grandma and a six year old in your party but still want a nicer option than TGI Fridays. And for that, you'll get your money's worth. (And you'll get to bed at a reasonable hour, as they were starting to shut down at 8:30 pm on a Saturday.) We split the fried pickles for an appetizer -- thick breading that stayed intact after biting in. Then came the salads, which were a fresh garden mix, and a massive bread basket with six biscuits and eight mini muffins for a table of three! These were honestly the highlight -- fresh, hot, and moist (yeah, I know). And definitely no fighting over who gets a second biscuit because everyone does. The entrees were...well, they were fine. Two of us got vegetarian options (shoutout for an actual vegetarian section on the menu!). The cauliflower piccata was a bit of a miss; what's described as seared cauliflower steak came out as steamed cauliflower florets. Every entree, by the way, comes with a vegetable and the "potato du jour" -- you don't get a choice for your veggie or potato. Today's offerings were steamed mixed veggies (with not much in the way of seasoning) and a decent mashed potato. The other vegetarian plate was the mushroom Marsala -- the sauce tasted homemade and the mushrooms were sautéed well. The daily vegetable -- that aforementioned medley -- wasn't appealing, unfortunately. The third plate at the table was the combination platter of flounder and shrimp, which got a thumbs up from the orderer. However, the small portion was NOT small, so I'd suggest avoiding the full-size option unless you have plenty of room -- and plenty of room for leftovers. Overall, the portions are enormous, and everything tastes like it was made with care. The staff is friendly across the board. Is it a superb, mind-expanding meal? Nah. But it should have enough to satisfy the picky, spice-avoidant eaters in your party while still having options for everyone. One last thing: they had some surprising but pleasant background music, with Tom Petty, RayLaMontagne, and The Shins making multiple appearances and some Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd sprinkled in. read more

Food under cooked, food over cooked Caesar salad drenched in dressing the lettuce was wilted fried green tomatoes dripping in grease.

I was very impressed with Chestnut Hill! In 8 years I missed this hidden gem! I dined at the bar which is very pretty & has a days gone vibe! Steve, the bartender was wonderful & gave me honest opinions when I asked various questions about some of their dishes. I ordered the HH tuna bites & house salad & both were delicious, well presented & the serving sizes were impressive. The other patron's were also very friendly & made for a pleasant time. I definitely recommend & will return! read more

I am sorry to be slacking on this Yelp's posting but I lost track of myself but hey here we are. So my folks now live down in Myrtle Beach, SC and while I always love to see them I am also kinda stoked about all the different Check-Ins and Yelps that I get to do to inspire the world to venture forth once again. During my last visit we went to Chestnut Hill for Father's Day brunch and they had a wonderful buffet set out for the patrons that featured a little bit of everything one could want. When I do a buffet that is mostly breakfast items, I like to make two visits to the line and bring a bunch of stuff that works together in my head. I opted for portions of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, grits and even some of the veggies they had. All very tasty and finished to plate clean status. The best way to buffet is to NOT over pile the plate and just finish that and then get some different stuff. That's what I do at least. It was early and I wasn't drinking so coffee and an orange juice would be fine for me. The restaurant is located right next to a small lake and that finds them posting signs about not feeding the alligators. I walked around the fences to see if I spotted one for photo sake but didn't see any. I did observe a bunch of lounging turtles who were enjoying the sun on a small pier type thing. The food was great as was the service and atmosphere and while I cannot determine when I myself will be there again I can highly recommend it to the traveler or resident who hasn't gotten around to being there yet. Nice work Chestnut Hill, you impressed me and during these chaotic times that is not always easy to do. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed Chestnut Hill's Thanksgiving buffet today. They put out an incredible spread with a variety of salads, meats, vegetables, and deserts. All of the traditional Thanksgiving dishes are there: Turkey and dressing; sweet potato casserole; green beans, mashed potatoes, etc. There's also smoked ribs, prime rib, ham, lamb, fried chicken, shrimp, and Mahi Mahi. Desserts included pecan pie, banana pudding, and several other sweet treats. Everything was very tasty and we all certainly got our fill. Our family has a new Thanksgiving tradition that is every bit as good as our home cooked dinner and soooo much easier giving us more time to enjoy family. Make plans early and get your reservations in because they will book up. read more

Classic restaurant with great view, excellent value & Gators! This place has it all, warmth & charm. entrees canoe with a chilled salad & cheddar biscuits & muffins. Everything is homemade! I had a wonderful filet & added an 8oz lobster tail. My date had the seafood platter blackened. The meals were delicious! Ended the meal with strawberry shortcake for 2! Highly recommend read more

They have an awesome happy hour in the bar with excellent small plates . I have eaten there many time always great experiences

Stopped here for dinner yesterday on the way back to the condo after a drive up the coast. I had the crab stuffed mahi with vegetables and salad and a gin & tonic. Seemed a little too upscale for my liking. Almost seemed like the place where they require at least a golf shirt. Anyway, the food was really good and the gin & tonic was one of the best I've had. I just really felt "out of place" wearing a nice tee shirt and cargo shorts. Visited this place on a recommendation. Not sure I'll be back. The food and ambiance was excellent but it just doesn't seem like the kind of place I'd make a regular visit to. Maybe I need to make a return visit just to make sure. read more

We had fabulous service here and it has great ambience. They are following Covid guidelines with table being socially distanced. Service by Khalehla totally made the evening. She was truly the highlight of our evening. Unfortunately we didn't get a window seat but we were close enough to see a gator approaching. No turtles climbed on the dock but we did see one bobbing up and down. The food is good and price wise decent. Was it the best grade steak I ever had? No. But it was tasty and very reasonable. Vegetables and roasted potatoes accompany the main dish. A salad is also given and their house vinaigrette is really nice. The biscuits and muffins were good too. All in all a very enjoyable evening. Thank you Khalehla. read more

We had a coupon for the Chestnut Hill Restaurant and a couple of $25 vouchers from a timeshare presentation that could be used towards the bill (when we presented both, we were told that the vouchers could not be combined with the $20.00 coupon), so we made a reservation. The service was great from the time that we arrived until the time that we left. Selena, the waitress, was professional and extremely courteous. We were seated by a window that had a view of a small pond. The ambiance was nice and we were looking forward to enjoying a nice meal. Complimentary cheese bread and muffins were brought to the table and each entree came with a salad, potato du jour and vegetables. I ordered the crab cakes and was extremely disappointed. They were definitely not as advertised. They were mushy and had several pieces of crab shell (or at least I hope that they were shells). I ordered the regular portion that included two crab cakes , but could barely eat one. The vegetables and salad were both good and the potatoes were okay. I may not visit this restaurant again, but if I do, it will definitely be because of the excellent service that was provided by the staff (especially by Selena). read more

This restaurant is not wheelchair accessible. I asked where the handicapped ramp was located. They said I would need to go back outside and enter the door at the side of the restaurant. There were three steps down to the dining area, so I had to hop. I twisted my right ankle and fell on my broken left foot (which should be non-weight bearing for 8 more weeks). Upon completion of our meal, we found the exit with a ramp was locked from the inside. This is a fire/safety hazard. It took three employees several minutes to get it open. I hopped up three steps with a broken foot and was almost to our vehicle by the time they got it open. We were there for thanksgiving dinner. Most of the food was very good, but due to it being a buffet, some items were cold. I would return, but after my broken foot heals. I would also suggest emergency exits be available and unlocked from the inside in the event of an actual emergency. read more

We have always had amazing service, wonderful food and enjoyed the great location of Chestnut Hill. I recently had a Birthday party for my 80 year old mother there and it was incredible!!!!!!!

We felt like VIPs!!! Not to mention that the value was fabulous!!! read more

We had one on the best meals in recent memory here tonight! Everything from salad dressing to dessert was excellent! I had the Seafood Florentine, loaded with fresh shrimp and scallops, on top of pasta with spinach and tomatoes in a lemon butter sauce...very delicious!

If there was one thing I wanted to on vacation was to find an all you can eat Sunday Brunch.

Super disappointed with the restaurant. We went for my birthday, and were let down by the service and the food. For as much as we spent, I would have hoped for better. The vegetables were mushy and bland. The building itself was dirty, with cobwebs in the corners and on the window hangings. Ugh. Also, my son only finished half his dinner, and the waiter cleared the plate and didn't ask if we wanted a box, just took it and we didn't see him again. Overall, a total bummer. read more
