We absolutely loved our first time at The Chophouse. We celebrated my husband’s birthday and everything was perfect. The food was beyond delicious and our server, Andrew, was exceptional. We are already planning our next visit!

The Veal Holstein was probably the best of any meal I have had, at any of the restaurants I have been. I would eat that everyday, maybe twice a day. My friend loved her chopped salad with prime flat iron steak. The drinks came fast and perfect. Stella was so nice and she told us she would have the chef know we were going across the street to the show. There was not one thing to complain about in that whole restaurant experience ! But better ..everything was wonderful. Great job!
