    "Old Wichita Money" is how I have heard this club described on multiple occasions. Sometimes this old Wichita money crowd does seem to feel entitled over an average Joe's. A local legend known by many hidden off the beaten path and tucked away. Easy access off both Central and 13th this Oldie Goldie is upscale dining in a casual club atmosphere. Polite staff who will quickly learn your name and serve you your favorites from memory. Some of the best made beverages served with a smile, you will never want for anything. This is a private club so you will need a membership, but that in itself has its perks. Over the years the club has been updated, but you will still see and feel the vintage years this place has had. You will notice for the most part an older clientele.

    Owning 2 local Servpro franchises we found the Candle Club a great place to go to lunch or dinner to discuss business. It of course is also a great place to just go and relax after a busy day. A great atmosphere, very friendly staff all around. The food is top class and there is no other place like it in all of Wichita.

    I was there for a lunch. The food was delicious. Someone in the kitchen really knows how to cook. The room and service were good too.

    Went for dinner with friends. Great atmosphere and good service. Sirloin was spot on. Membership required. It's a gem.

    Really cool place to be a member. I'd never even heard of this club but it's felt very much like a Jazz club from the 60's. There's a dress code and the food is excellent. I was here for a Dignity Memorial Seminar and would definitely consider joining.

    A members only club with true MCM style and flare! The food is fantastic, prime rib Wednesday-Saturday, the steak poivre, the dishes are well thought out and executed flawlessly. The bar is well stocked with top shelf and their Old Fashioned goes down smooth. Jazz music on Wednesday, contemporary standards on Thursday and Friday… if you’re looking for an exclusive experience, The Candle Club is hard to beat

    Birthday party was a huge hit & we had our separate room. Band was good also.

    I have been a member for years and I have loved it. I went to the Monday night fried chicken buffet and if you are going to advertise a chicken buffet you might want to at least have some fried chicken out….I’m just saying!!! So many people going up to get food and there was literally no fried chicken!!!

  • 3/5 Sharalyn C. 4 months ago on Google
    The service was great the chicken livers and potato skins were great. I ordered the chicken fried steak looked good but was raw, the mashed potatoes and corn and mushrooms were great. I sent it back and they offered a new one or a replacement but it kinda ruined the mood. Everyone else was happy with there's. The whole place reminded me of a long ago era, love the idea of no hats and no tshirts.

    Several months ago, we were tasked with finding a location for a surprise birthday party for my mother. We wanted a special experience, with great food...but where to go? We'd kicked around ideas for locations, but one evening while we were sitting at the bar in the Candle Club discussing options, we saw a group of people head back to Ted's Room. Wait...what?!? Duh...of course! The Candle Club! We checked with Bart that evening and learned that, as members, we have free use of the event rooms and Ted's Room was open the night we needed! The experience that we had with the Candle was fantastic and everyone that we worked with to plan the event was beyond helpful! When we arrived, the room was set up with a fire in the fireplace, beautiful fall decorations on the mantle and centerpieces on every table. The buffet that we chose, The Sinatra, was delicious and well presented. The very best part of the experience was the service provided to our entire family by Sarah and Marissa! They were both amazing...both incredibly friendly, helpful, prompt. I felt like they were focused on personal service only to me...but they were really providing the same level of focus to each person in our group! Thank you, again, to the Candle Club, Bart, Marissa and Sarah! We strongly recommend The Candle for events like this and will use them, again, when we have a party like this. By the way...the surprise party was a huge success! Mom thought she and Dad were there for a quiet dinner for the four of us, but she walked through the door to Ted's Room to find thirty family members and friends waiting for her! Her tears were flowing along with her laughter. We were so glad to work with The Candle to pull this off.

    Good food. American Grill fare. Great service. Decor is a little dated. We are not members. There for a meeting in their reserved room.

  • 5/5 Cody W. 11 months ago on Google
    Our friends invited us to dinner with them and this is really a great spot. The food was excellent, service the absolute best in Wichita and atmosphere really outstanding. J Michael provided the music and he is so good. He rearranged many of the songs himself-so talented. Had pasta this time which was delicious but next time I will try a steak. Thanks Candle Club

    We always know an evening at the club will be fun and fabulous food. I'm so glad we've been members for 17 years.

    Went to the Candle Club's Easter buffet. It was held next door. We had 10 people. The food was excellent! Food ranged from breakfast items to prime rib.

  • 5/5 Robert D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is wonderfully unmatched, the atmosphere is perfect and I honestly can't find a better place in town that matches the service you get there. I love the cigar bar the most! And I especially love the cigars they have in stock. It's probably the most relaxing place I've been in a very long time. Quite the stress reliever, I love taking my wife there on Saturday night and spending time with her.

    Food was horrible. Service was horrid. Atmosphere didn't exist. No value period and waste of time for a party. Disaster and disappointment.

  • 5/5 Bobby M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great. Everything. My bartender at the private party was great. She was fun and affable.

  • 5/5 Gringo T. 1 year ago on Google
    Our friends are members here and invited us to dinner and drinks. Great atmosphere and excellent food. The service was great, and there is a cigar lounge separate from the restaurant.
