I look forward to our next visit.
Step inside, and bam — those stained glass windows in the bar area? Gorgeous. Like, “Am I supposed to be sipping a cocktail or quietly admiring art?” levels of stunning.
We kicked things off with the crab dip because, obviously. It was creamy & dreamy, and the kind of starter that makes you realize you’re in for a night of gluttony. Then came the surf and turf, my personal teamwork challenge since I’m not about that flesh life. My friend took on the steak like a champ, and I handled the seafood side of things. Sharing is caring, right? We added fingerlings to round it out, and oh, let me tell you, those potatoes were crispy little golden nuggets of perfection.
And the bread and butter? TO. DIE. FOR. I’m talking “cancel your main course and just live off this bread basket” levels of good.
Moral of the story: I need to stop underestimating the gems in my own backyard.
Service was shoddy at best. We heard more from the water refill staff than from our actual server all evening. Despite the restaurant being lightly attended, we waited an unusually long time, which felt off from the start. When the food finally arrived, everything we ordered came out over about 15 minutes and 4–5 separate trips, completely disrupting the flow of the meal.
There’s always an uncomfortable moment where you debate saying something about your food, but we were so hungry after such a long wait that we felt stuck eating as it arrived. We wanted to wait until the entire meal was served, but that clearly wasn’t going to happen. Once all the food was finally out, we waited for our server to return—he didn’t. His next appearance was to drop off the check while we were still eating. We hoped a manager might stop by, but we could barely get our server back even once more. His only explanation throughout the night was referencing another “difficult table,” which should not have impacted our experience the way it did. Given the overall experience, the food was incredibly overpriced.
After the trip, I made a sincere effort to share this feedback directly with the restaurant and the general manager, Anthony. I first reached out via email in early November. Here we are nearly at Christmas, and there has been no follow-up beyond an initial “when can we connect by phone?” And “sorry I was out of town” —despite multiple emails from me.
I would not recommend The Tenderloin Room…at all. The food was cold. The service was cold. The atmosphere was cold. And any attempt to provide feedback afterward was a failure.
The Brussels sprouts, BEST I HAVE EVER TASTED HANDS DOWN!!!!!
Atmosphere was good, same for service, morning special or over the top.
If you go, get the pork chop and Brussels, TRUST ME!
Pictures is the pork chop and the filet, which was said to be OK.
I’ll give it another chance in the future, and is probably worth a stop if you’re at the hotel and looking for a decent steak. But I don’t think it’s something worth going out of your way for.
Great spot for a date or to do business. No dress code, but I’d wear something with a collar. Stroll the beautiful Chase Park Plaza hotel after you eat, or save room for a dessert at one of the other establishments in the property–or down the block in the Central West End.
If you’re into wine, you won’t be disappointed with the Tenderloin’s offerings. If you’re not a meat eater, your selections will be limited, although the creamed spinach was one of our favorite tastes of the night!
Bon appetite!
