Our dinner food was fabulous! The presentation on both the appetizers and the entrees was beautiful, and the taste matched. I have no complaints about the food at all. Our waiter, however, seemed bored, uninterested, and terse. He didn't visit very often, even though the restaurant wasn't very crowded, and returned our 2 credit cards on two stacked plates, assuming we'd figure out that the second card was hidden under the first plate. We didn't and had trouble finding him again to ask. The service stank, but the food was great. I'd go again and hope for a better waiter.

Very attentive waiters. Orders have always been right on. My ratings are based on restaurants similar to this one. I visit here for breakfast two or three times a month.

We had a great time at Chapman's for dinner, but the variance in my ratings represent a HUGE disappointment in brunch. I agree with the poster before me (we had brunch around a month ago) -- the food was not very good. Most of it tasted generic or f ...

This place is completely over-rated. The food is not nearly what it should be for the price. Visited twice and was very disappointed both times.

Expensive and the food is a bit too "fancy" for my tastes. Very popular though it seems, though the menu has gotten even more "Californian in style.
