Inspirited by a bygone era of truly fine dining and drinking, The Chapman and Chase Lounge promise an indulgent experience within a warm, stylish, and artful space with a distinctive Winter Park Florida look and feel.


The new dining concept has been a labor of love for Artistry Restaurants, the team responsible for Winter Park favorites Atlantic Beer & Oyster and Boca as well as restaurant concepts throughout Florida and the Carolinas.


Up until now, Artistry Restaurants has acquired and developed its brands into a portfolio of seven brands and 30 restaurants, with The Chapman and Chase Lounge the first concept that they have developed themselves.

Over two years in the planing, the new concept is inspired by the rich history of Winter Park, with Winter Park’s history is woven into every corner of The Chapman — starting with its name.


Oliver E. Chapman is one of the visionaries who founded Winter Park in 1887 and went on to establish the city as a tranquil escape from harsh Northern winters.


The Chapman is committed to continuing this legacy as a relaxing Florida getaway, with it's past-meets-present decor and a menu of the very best Florida has to offer — plenty of citrus, fresh fish and seafood, as well as locally raised beef.




The menu has been created under the visionary leadership of culinary innovator, Chef Cliff Pleau who was the Co-creator and Executive Chef of Darden's Season’s 52 and Walt Disney World's California Grill concepts, as well as being the Culinary Imagineer for 65 concepts of the Euro Disney project, including Opening Leader, Developer, and Executive Chef.
