    It was our first time at ChopnBlok and my significant other does not live here. He told me a while back he wanted to go - as we are both foodies! From beginning to end the food and drinks were phenomenal and the service was just as good. Our server was very attentive and tried to cater to my food allergies. She made suggestions and offered alternatives. She even went as far to ask the kitchen for ingredients to ensure I wouldn’t have a reaction. All around a phenomenal experience and we’ll be back

    One of my favorites downtown! Beautiful space, excellent inventive recipes, attentive service. What I like best is the noise level is conducive to a business meal even when the restaurant is full, plus they honor reservations quickly. My "go to" spot downtown!

    Absolutely Love the food and love the price point too. The margs are great and the chips and salsa slaps. Tried this place on a whim because I’ve heard so much about it and have been going back every time I crave good Mexican food or a Marg.

    Everything was amazing. Carrot soup was next level, the chicken was superb, and the large shareable steak was also amazing. Our group of 4 were all equally impressed, and the service was impeccable. I have been to Navy Blue and Bar Bludorn prior and always impressed but the mother ship is absolutely the standard setter. Great job by the whole team, and thank you guys for the nice treat to celebrate our recent wedding. I can honestly say this is top 3 restaurant in Houston without question.
