Tomahawk Bone-In Ribeye
Elizabeth M.

Came to Chops & Lobster Bar for a birthday party with about 20 people. Seating with reservations was seamless. There were a few parking spaces on the street and no parking fee on Sunday!! The drinks were good & strong. Ordered an Old Fashioned and I only needed one. We started with the calamari. Soooooo good! Nice Asian glaze with good cuts of calamari. Quite different, but still really good from standard calamari. We ordered the Tomahawk steak for 2 (cooked medium), Brussel sprouts, broccolini, and truffle fries. The steak was perfectly cooked! Just enough pink and not too much red. It was seasoned very well. No steak sauce needed. And it was just enough for 2 people, including my very hungry husband. My favorite sides were the Brussel sprouts & broccolini. Forgot to take pictures but they were yummy. Ordered the truffle fries for my toddler. She was unfortunately not a fan. There's no kids menu, so prepare yourself.

Maine Lobster Bisque "Au Cognac"

Phenomenal restaurant! The ambiance is great, the service is even better. If you're indecisive on what to order, get the pepper steak! Easily one of the best steaks I've ever had.

While Chops has elements of an upscale restaurant, there are other elements more like a sports bar&grill. The white tablecloth service, dresscode, dim lighting, and menu definitely give an upscale feel. However, the extremely loud environment is like a sports bar or a lounge. Also, the seating/tables are crammed together tightly next to each other. All that being said, the menu options and price, the taste of the dishes, and the service overall were fairly good.

The lobster bisque is pure luxury! creamy, buttery, and you can't forget to add the lobster morsels that makes every spoonful unforgettable. I customized the sea bass, asking for it pan-seared in garlic butter (highly recommend), and it came out golden, flaky, and perfect alongside tender broccolini. The ribeye? A masterclass in steakhouse excellence. Service hits that sweet spot between polished and personal. Chops is one of those rare spots where everything, from the food to the vibe. feels effortlessly first-class. Definitely a splurge-worthy favorite.

Crème Brûlée
Clarice L.

Aside from wanting a bit more variety on the menu, the green beans coming off a bit plant tasting due to them being undercooked, and the usual acidic restaurant coffee; everything else was perfectly seasoned and cooked. I was hoping for a gourmet pork "CHOP"... get it? lol. I had Moscato, the Cesar Salad, NY Strip w/ mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and green beans. For dessert I had perfect Crème Brûlée w/ coffee. Service was immaculate. The ambiance seemed quiet but it did get a bit loud later into lunch. Dress is business casual. Prepare to valet because parking is not fun.

Soft shell crab

Everyone's food was fabulous. The soft shell crab was outstanding. Service is top of the line.

Michel S.

If you want to have a great flavorful steak. This is your jam! We had the Tomahawk for 2 and it was very tasty and flavorful. I also had an Old Fashion and it was amazing! Their salad was great and the service was unparalleled! The ambiance it is up scale but great for business dinner or family dinner or just make an excise to go to Chops. You will jot regret it.

Chops is an old school steakhouse under the Buckhead Life Group umbrella. Stellar service across the board, and the bread place isn't bad as well. It's also situated in a unique area with the modern greenery that borders Rosetta, Umi, and the St Regis nearby. They are pretty accommodating and knowledgeable about the menu. Lots of pretty solid options, including even relatively healthy salads! You should also check out the broccolini. Their wine selection is solid as well.

Millie C.

Amazing service from the staff here! Servers were so friendly and attentive. Refilled waters, brought out bread and our cake without us asking. We got a few appetizers to start off with to share, the onion rings were so crispy! The oysters were fresh. My favorite was definitely the crab cake, it was filled with fresh crab and tasted very flavorful. The octopus was delicious as well. I also really enjoyed the bread service. The raisin bread was a sweet touch. And the regular bread tasted great with the butter. I ordered the pepper steak and it was amazing! The mushroom sauce was so good and the potato was so tender. We also got the broccolini and it was so buttery and tender. The truffle French fries were definitely the star! The truffle was flavor was so strong and the fries were lightly fried. Overall, this meal was so good and I can't wait to be back !

Chilean Sea Bass Hong Kong

Chops is a classic steakhouse. The restaurant is split into two stories. The first floor is the main dining and lobster bar where patrons can sit at a counter. Upstairs has the large bar, bit more festive and more dining. Reservations are a must! We enjoyed the sea bass, filet, lobster mac, lobster mash potatoes, greens, shrimp, and more. Service was perfect. Food was delicious. Expect to pay $100-200 pp depending on drinks and cuts chosen. There is valet parking, street parking, and a few lots around. Uber is best here.

There are other fine dining restaurants in ATL and then there is Chops & Lobster Bar. The place looks like it commands order but I wasn't here to play by the rules. I turned this fine steakhouse into my own personal tapas restaurant because I like to try it all. We started with a Greek salad, then came the octopus, then the fried lobster. And yes, I ordered the mac & cheese because I'm 7. Oh and the no filler brilliant crab cakes. Chops may be for the serious steak crowd, but we got it on track! It's now headed in the right direction.

Filet- Genuine 1855 Black Angus 1 Lb. Baked Potato
Renee P.

We had reservations to celebrate a birthday. The ambience was that of a traditional steakhouse. The service was amazing. Very attentive prompt friendly and professional. They went over the menu and I ordered the filet, the caesar salad and the baked potato. Everything was delicious. The filet was cooked to perfection medium temperature and the cocktail was delicious. Unfortunately I did not get many pictures because we were so busy eating I forgot to take some. I would definitely go back.

Lazarus M.

Ordered 32oz $140 tomahawk steak. One forth of it was all fat. Services was fine so still gave staff there 20%. But will not be returning. I should have stuck with Frankie's Steakhouse.

Ask the Community - Chops & Lobster Bar

Is it free valet?

No, it's $5 plus tip

I want to schedule a dinner with colleagues after a conference but we are all accountable to different expense accounts. Will the waiter issue individual checks for a table of 6? What's the most?

It was a group of us. We all paid individually. I don't think there is limit. It was at least 10 of us.

Now that they've reopened, do they validate parking?

They never have and most likely never will. Valet is conveniently right out front though

What is the phone number for this place? When I try calling it says phone number disconnected.

404-262-2675. This is the number I use. I double checked before passing it along.

Are they spacing out the tables? Thanks.

Not at all unfortunately 🤷🏽‍♀️

Is there outdoor seating?

Hi there Merbril! Thank you for your inquiry! We currently do not have outside seating at Chops.… Read more

Does chops have a corkage fee?

What sort of dress should we wear?

I would recommend business casual, but I saw one guy wearing shorts.

We were there celebrating our engagement, and they made it feel so special by decorating our table with rings and confetti to celebrate our love. Our server gave us so much attention and made the experience feel personal. Since it was our first time there, they took the time to walk us through some of the best items on and off the menu, and shared their favorite dishes. Everything was done with care. The restaurant was clean, the bathroom was amazing, and the food was worth every dollar. The short rib was so tender, and the New York strip was seasoned to perfection and cooked medium well just how we like it. The twice-baked potato loaded with bacon, sour cream, chives, and cheese was delicious, and the mac and cheese was so good.

Bones has old money vibes - for example, the receptionist referred to us as Mr. and Ms. which I felt like was very polite and again, traditional. We were celebrating my birthday, and they pre-decorated our table a little bit! We got special print-out menus that said "Happy Birthday" and the table had a little bit of confetti on it! It was a nice gesture to be welcomed with. Our server, Michael, was great at being attentive (without being overly attentive), and providing recs/answering our questions. We went with the Crab and Lobster Napoleon for our app, the Ribeye to split, and a side of their famous Hash Browns. Everything was very good!! I will let the pictures speak for themselves, but all the food comes out hot, fresh, and with good flavor. I really do recommend getting the Hash Browns - it sounds a little silly to order such a dish at a steakhouse, but try it for yourself :) All dishes have a good portion size so keep that in mind when ordering! While not pictured, I do have to give a shoutout to the complimentary bread service - their bread is real good. Hot and fluffy on the inside, crispy on the outside. Try not to get full off the bread alone. For dessert, Bones surprised us with literally the tallest and thickest slice of ice cream cake I've ever seen! My jaw dropped. I love ice cream cake and it was awesome to be treated to some!! I already thought that the table decorations and the special menu were enough to recognize my birthday, but this is the generosity of Bones. I will absolutely be returning some day! If not for the amazing food, then for the equally amazing hospitality! Thank you Bones for a wonderful birthday! Note: Complimentary valet parking ONLY. We asked the valet person if we could just park the car but we weren't allowed to. Bring some cash for a tip.

Fives across the board…read more Casi Cielo is incredible. The space is warm and beautiful without trying too hard, and the crowd was hip and well dressed. Definitely a place to be seen and eat well. There's a parking garage but it was full when we got there, so we did valet, which was surprisingly affordable. Service was wonderful. Our server was attentive, helpful, and super knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, we got: Aguachile de Pescado, which was insane. Super fresh, bright, citrusy, ceviche-like with perfect texture. I would go back just for that. The Hamachi was clean and bright. That avocado sauce tied everything together and gave it some depth without overpowering the fish. The Pork Belly Tostadas were crispy and rich with that smooth avocado mousse and sweet mango salsa balancing it out perfectly. Finally, the bone marrow with steak... so good. I had seen pictures of it before I came and it did not disappoint. The steak was incredibly tender. They bring blue corn tortillas and suggest making a taco with the marrow, steak, and avocado. It's great that way. But honestly, the marrow and steak stand perfectly on their own. Whole experience was excellent. Easily one of my favorite spots in the city now.

Wanted to love it…read more The vibes are there, the staff is genuinely lovely, and there's real potential here, we just had a bit of an adventure getting through the meal. We had someone in our party with a gluten allergy, and our sweet server was doing his absolute best, bless. We were steered away from the tostadas as a starter due to gluten concerns, so we pivoted to guac...which then arrived with a gluten-free tostada. So the tostadas would have been totally fine! Then a good while after we'd all ordered, she was told her entrée had gluten and needed to be changed. She reordered, and almost immediately, the rest of the table's food came out. So we were left choosing between eating without her or letting everything go cold. And the plantains she'd reordered around, because she'd been told they couldn't be made gluten-free? Turns out they absolutely can be. Just miss after miss there. The spicy margarita was more of a margarita that once passed a jalapeño on the street. I asked for extra jalapeño juice and they were happy to help, but without the seeds and ribs it just couldn't deliver on the heat. I'd skip the margs next visit. This just wasn't quite the relaxed easy dinner we'd hoped for, and the price point feels like it's a step ahead of where the experience currently lands. But I'm rooting for them to get there!

Marcel was absolutely impeccable. I had been aiming to cross this restaurant off our our list and…read moretoday was the day I was able to do that. It did not disappoint - in fact, it exceeded my expectations. First of all, Ken was an excellent server. He was paced, attentive, informative, and communicative throughout our experience. We were also celebrating our anniversary, and he and the staff made sure to make the occasion memorable (won't give away to keep it special for you). The food was amazing from beginning to end. First, the bread service was prompt, warm, soft, and served with ricotta. Next, the Ceasar salad was made next to where we sat - and to see them mixing the salads so meticulously down to mixing the dressing from scratch was one of the most amazing dining experiences I've had. I love a good Ceasar - and this was amongst the best. We also ordered the Oysters Marcel - and they were so fresh and bright. For our main course, my wife ordered the bone-in filet. It was cooked to perfection (medium rare - medium). I enjoyed redfish topped with Jump Lump Crab Oscar sauce (with crabs). Both proteins were amazing, but I was surprised by how perfectly cooked the fish was. Delectable. For sides, we enjoyed Cream Corn Gratin and Pommes Frites Béarnaise . Both were complementary of the proteins. The dessert was a 10-Layer Chocolate Cake. It was sooo good. Sweet but not too sweet. Good as it looks. Lastly, the ambiance was amazing. It was like stepping into a portal into a different space in time - almost made you forget we were in Atlanta. It's a bit dark inside - but a well lit darkness - just like I like it. Easy to see the entire space but also feel unseen (even though you are). Overall, I'd recommend it to anyone - although we made a pact to not take anyone from our circle. We want to keep this one for us. But hopefully this write up encourages a stranger to enjoy Marcel. Merci

Walking into Marcel, one is transported to another world. A moody, retro, classic world where…read morebowties are worn unironically in a setting that could best be described as a boxing gym renovated with industrial touches to become a steakhouse in the 1940s. That world could be anywhere. It could even be in Midtown West Atlanta. Service was impeccable. Servers knew we were celebrating our anniversary and were attentive and helpful when making tough menu choices. Pacing was definitely geared toward fine dining. 40 minutes between starters and entree was a BIT long, but it went by. Steak was wonderful (a porterhouse for 2), cooked to a perfect medium rare with seasoning appropriately calibrated to not overpower. East and west coast oysters were fresh and the Marcel salad to start was underdressed and lacked flavor (I enjoyed how they plopped a mound of bleu cheese on top to mix in; I pushed this aside which my server and I laughed about. He said he'd do the same. Maybe it's a sign). Hot bread service with a spreadable cheese and prosciutto was a nice touch. The French fries are probably the best I've ever had, and the asparagus was asparagus (slightly undersalted if anything). Chocolate cake was impressive in presentation but unremarkable for flavor and consistency. My wife enjoyed her decaf coffee as the best she's had at a restaurant, but her cocktail left something to be desired and was extremely tart. A Mexican coke was perfect enough for me. The pricing here is exorbitant. The price tag isn't necessarily a problem given the caliber of dining experience and ambiance that Marcel provides, but given some of the misses on staple items (namesake salad, "famous" chocolate cake), I'm not sure that value for dollar spent is present. In transparency, our dinner comprised of the above was over $400 with tip, which was aligned with expectations walking in the door. Whether the food stood up to the actual place and pricing is a debate. I lean toward an answer of "almost, but close enough not to be insulted." If a gun was pointed at my head to pick the "best steakhouse" in Atlanta, I'd pick Bones without thinking twice. This place is a close second probably, but places like Nowaks in Sandy Springs, while not the same echelon of formality, might have Marcel beat on flavor and definitely have Marcel beat on value for the dollar. Is Marcel's concept valid and well executed? Yes, without question. Would I want somebody else to pay if I returned? Yes, without question. 4.3/5 stars

I sat at the bar and had a little light banter with the bartender who is a brother looking to be in his late 30's-early 40's. When I asked about two fruity cocktails from the menu, he flat-out said he wasn't going to make them. That alone was off-putting. Trying to move forward, I asked what he specialized in, and he said he'd "come up with something." I agreed--but very clearly stated: no rum, because my body does not react well to it. After watching him make drinks for people who ordered after me, he eventually handed me a cocktail I never even saw him prepare. That already raised a flag. I took a few sips, and sure enough--my stomach immediately started reacting the exact way it does when I've had rum. When I asked what alcohol he used, he said, "I don't even know." That response alone tells you everything you need to know. At that point, I reminded him I specifically said no rum. Instead of taking accountability, he tried to argue and backtrack. Let me be clear--when a customer tells you not to use a specific liquor, you don't ignore it, guess, or "forget." That's basic service and basic respect. This situation completely threw off my evening, as I had plans afterward and ended up feeling sick. To make matters worse, I reached out to management and received no response. That lack of accountability speaks volumes. At the end of the day, this wasn't just a bad drink--it was careless service. This staff does not prioritize customer care, and that's a problem. If you choose to visit, be very direct, pay close attention, and don't assume your requests will be respected.
