Inspired by bold designs of the Roarin 20’s and Art Deco 30’s, Chase Club at the historic Chase Park Plaza Hotel invokes the original spirit of times past.

Influenced by the Speakeasys and extravagant style of a bygone era, the concept for Chase Club was born.

Valentine's Day was a fixed menu - two entrees, two appetizers, two desserts options. They offered a lovely "palate cleanser" between the apps and the entree -- nice touch. They also offered us "free" champagne as we entered -- another nice touch. (I say "free" because it's a fixed price so I'm sure it was covered in there but, still, a lovely way to be greeted.) Our server was friendly, professional, and attentive without being intrusive. Parking was free (validated when we paid our bill) and convenient. We will definitely be back.
