On opening Chamberlain’s Steak and Fish 1993, Richard Chamberlain, took to heart the staple cuisine of his native state. The specialty of the house, prime steak, has the bold flavors for which Chamberlain’s reputation has been built. Shortly after opening, Chamberlain’s Steak and Fish was named one of the country’s top new restaurants of 1993 by Bon Appetite magazine. Chamberlain’s has been a “D-Best” in D Magazine since 1998 and in 2013 was named a top 100 restaurant in Dallas. In 2000-2007, Chamberlain’s has received an “Award of Excellence” by Wine Spectator. In 2005 and 2007 Citysearch voted the restaurant “Best Steak” and in 2007 “Best Business Dining”.

Chamberlain attended the culinary arts program at El Centro College in Dallas while simultaneously working at The Mansion on Turtle Creek. Currently he serves on the board of the Dallas chapter of the American Heart Association. His continued involvement as lead Chef in Cotes du Coeur, the American Heart Association’s main fundraiser, has helped raise significant funds for their cause.
