I went there on my birthday and from the time we entered we were treated professionally and friendly. I must say Alex at the hostess desk exuded positive energy and pleasant words when I wasn't feeling my greatest. Also, Amaris was an excellent sever very attentive and kind. I would highly recommend this place. Great food & ambience! read more

When we want a relaxing fine dining experience we always find ourselves going to Chops. One thing we always make sure to order is the spinach salad that is finished tableside. Always delicious and always consistent. I usually get the baked stuffed Lobster stuffed with jumbo lump Crabmeat and my wife loves the Chilean Seabass...the steaks are great and come the way you ordered it. A great diverse menu combined with very good service and the manager Mo makes sure we get our usual table and that everything is fine. It's always busy and for good reasons. read more

We had a lovely experience at Chops Lobster Bar, especially sitting at an outdoor table, which made for a great atmosphere. The tuna tartare was very fresh and well prepared. We also ordered the scallops and the Chilean sea bass--both were delicious and cooked nicely, though they leaned a bit on the salty side and could benefit from lighter seasoning. The key lime pie was fine, but not particularly memorable. Service throughout the meal was friendly and attentive. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner with great food and ambiance, just a few small tweaks away from perfection. read more

Five of us had dinner tonight at CHOPS. This is probably the best quality steakhouse in this Boca Delray area. Dinner tonight was exceptional because of our server, Brian. He said he was new there, but he was as professional as any server in any fine restaurant in Manhattan or Boca. He was efficient and charming as well. Thank you, BRIAN for making our dinner more than just the food. Bill Kreisberg read more

Chops is my local 'when I feel like a fine dining experience, good food, and close to home' place to go. I haven't always been satisfied, but this time, totally. We kept out simple. Choosing the two part menu @$58, I chose the crab and shrimp cocktail to start. Succulent shrimp, amazing lump crab, a little shy on the Horseradish, but it was easily cured. Service, BTW, was outstanding. That's where Chops almost always shines. For our main course, I chose the scallops, perfectly seared and served on mashed potatoes with capers and tomatoes. The capers added a unique level of flavor I hadn't expected. Quite delicious! My partner had the Farro salmon, served eloquently on a bed of greens in a delicate sauce. We added the garlic broccolini and the corn mash, winning accompaniments to the mains. We wound up making friends with the people at the next table, putting a wonderful end to a great meal. read more

I booked a dinner reservation at this restaurant for my husband's birthday tonight and I am so glad I did. It was an excellent experience. Every member of the team wished him a happy birthday. The restaurant is beautiful and has a very nice ambiance. The menu offers a two course and three course dinner option with many choices. There are also several separate seafood entrees, steaks, and lobster choices. I went with the three course dinner and started with the calamari. It was delicious. For my entree I had the Chilean Sea Bass Hong Kong style. It also came with spinach and jasmine rice. All three items tasted great. My husband went with the lobster tail appetizer and loved it. He also had the bone-in filet and said it was great. For dessert we had the creme Brule and the chocolate soufle cake. They both tasted fabulous. A wonderful experience all the way around. Service was great and professional. read more

service was absolutely terrible. Server was not attentive and had zero sense of urgency. We sat at 7:30 on a Sunday night, somehow for just two people who got two course we sat there for over two hours. Had to bother other servers doing their job because ours was missing most of the time. Also two separate times while trying to enjoy our meal two kids came up to our table begging us for money/asking for donations. Extremely ridiculous for a "high end" restaurant. Food also wasn't great. Unfortunately i've eaten better steak and lobster in Allentown Pennsylvania, a mini Philadelphia. Not worth it if you dine out often. read more

Every single dish we ordered was overloaded with salt from the lobster bisque to the lobster tails, dover sole and the snails. Inferior quality stale ingredients covered up with salt. I was with my elderly parents. It should have been common sense for a high end restaurant not to overdo the salt. Made us all so sick and pukey, stomach ache the next day. This felt very deliberate and targeted. Shame on you people for doing this during Christmas. read more

It's appropriate to post an updated review to my earlier one which pointed out various concerns. This one will focus on the outstanding service provided by MIA and the incredibly well prepared meal - score to the chefs! Our dinner earlier this month was one of Chop's $69 three course specials. Not smaller sized portions. Just fewer choices but all prepared exceedingly well. Starting with chopped salad and a Caesar salad, we were each impressed. The croutons and anchovies on the Caesar salad and its dressing were outstanding. My husband had the salmon Oskar, delicious. Light. Fluffy. Tasty. And the crab meat placed on top was freshly cooked. And he enjoyed each piece. I had the Chilean Sea Bass Hong Kong style. The broth was tasty. And the sea bass was light. I could have eaten two servings. My eye caught the asparagus on the menu and I ordered it even though MIA advised me it was $13 a portion. The Hollandaise sauce was not heavy. It played a song on my tongue. Just delish. Of course I forgot to mention that we started with extra dry martinis at $15.75. Shaken to perfection. Chilled with ice slivers as requested. And the martini glass was full. Not 2/3 full. We did not stuff ourselves with the delicious desserts that we took home. We waited until the next day to treat ourselves. The key lime pie was on point. And the New York style cheesecake with fresh strawberries was like velvet in our tongues. Too many expletives here? Think I'm exaggerating? Nope. I'm not that type. And allow me to return to MIA as I end this review. She was informative. Intelligent. Not intrusive but clearly spoiled us with her attentive demeanor . If every server at Chops were like her the Resturant would be overfilled every night. And while it gets busy in season, it's not crazy crazy. Make reservations, though. We will be back. As long as MIA is working rhat night. (Oh the manager stopped at our table to ask if all was going well) read more

Chops Lobster Bar - Delicious Rolls! One of the best parts of our meal. - Seafood Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

Chops Lobster Bar - A Culinary Gem Worth Every Penny While Chops may be a bit of a splurge for the average diner, the experience and cuisine are undeniably worth it. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I can say the adventure of exploring an exquisite, thoughtfully crafted menu is part of what makes dining out so exciting -- and this place delivered on every level. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was refined yet inviting. The staff was impressively attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Not being entirely familiar with the menu didn't matter -- our server (whose name I, unfortunately, didn't catch) was incredibly knowledgeable and offered spot-on recommendations that truly enhanced the meal. The cocktail specials were expertly crafted and refreshing. Appetizers like the fried lobster tail morsels and the Maryland-style jumbo lump crab cake were nothing short of phenomenal -- quite possibly the best I've ever had. For entrées, the Chilean sea bass Hong Kong-style with sesame soy broth, sautéed spinach, and jasmine rice was absolutely divine. The stuffed 2lb lobster was rich and flavorful, and the lobster mac and cheese was comfort food on a gourmet level. We capped the meal off with a slice of decadent cheesecake that was the perfect sweet finish. This isn't the spot for a quick, inexpensive bite -- but if you're in search of exceptional food, elegant ambiance, and service that goes above and beyond, Chops Lobster Bar is an unforgettable fine dining destination. read more

Old faithful and always delicious. I love sitting outdoors when we go here you get to eat and people watch

From the moment we arrived to the time we left, nothing disappointed. Great service from Becky, pleasant, dedicated, friendly, just the right pace. Started off with Caesar salad which was surprisingly delicious. Fine chopped lettuce, many tiny croutons, fresh Parmesan cheese with the right balance of dressing. It's really the details that made it much better than most Caesars. This is the place for a great ribeye. It's not wagyu but that wasn't the price point we were going for. At $79 for the regular ribeye and $115 for the Australian was typical for a h end experience. They were cooked to the perfect medium. Finished it off with a delicious creme brulee with fresh berries that did not disappoint. Probably one of the best I've had as well. Rarely do I ever give 5 stars but they really delivered a fantastic experience. I would have liked to seen a snake river ribeye or similar with a BMS near 10 or 11, to fit in between the prime and A5 wagyu. The Australian was very good but a 10 or 11 BMS would have taken it over the top. Not a complaint, only a suggestion. I debated between Ruth's Chris and here as they both had a table available. I'm glad I chose Chops! read more

At the last minute a friend of mine suggested we go out for dinner last night ( Friday). He chose Chops in Boca. I haven't dined there in a long time, as I felt from becoming one of my favorite restaurants in town it had slipped and in my opinion was just OK. There is valet parking which was very busy yet very efficient. Our reservation was honored immediately, and we were seated within minutes. . Chops is still a great looking restaurant. We ordered drinks, received them right away, ordered dinner which again was on our table in just the right amount of time and we felt good about our selection restaurants. Chops caters to an upscale crowd who like good dining. Last night in my opinion they rose from ashes ( 5 years ago) to a really good restaurant. Chopped salad, NY Strip steak, spinach and potatoes as our sides, and a really nice evening was had, which delights me. It's a busy place with a great vibe. Bravo Chops! read more

BEWARE: This restaurant has signs on all their tables (see attached photo) that asks you to pay by using the QR code &, when we did, there was a $5 service fee. When we spoke to the manager about it he said he would take it off & he was aware of the service fee from another customer. We just checked our credit card today (2 days later) & the $5 was not refunded. Why is there a service fee to pay by cc? That should be illegal!!! read more

Chops Lobster Bar - Seafood Near Me - Boca Raton, Florida

We were taken to our table when we walked in. We did have a reservation. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with comfortable tables spaced nicely. No table is too close to another. Waiter came to take our drink orders and brought a basket of delicious bread and rolls. We were able to take advantage of their $30 per couple coupon. The prices are high but the coupon really makes it affordable for a top notch, classy restaurant. The food was best I've had since moving to S Florida 5 years ago. Service was impeccable. Owner or manager came to our table to see to it that everything was going right. Steak, salmon, lobster tails and scallops were all delicious and beautifully served. Lobster bisque and salads were fabulous. Two of us took advantage of their 2 course prix fix dinner for $57. There were many choices. We can't wait to go back! Note: coupon not valid on Saturday and is only for dinner. read more

The food is very good, we had the escargot, the beef tartar, lobster from Nova Scotia, filet mignon w/ truffle butter, a couple of sides and creme brûlée for dessert. Everything was very good, albeit pricey but every restaurant is expensive these days. Service was 5/5 and the actual restaurant is very classy and clean. Would definitely recommend coming here, just don't be shocked by the prices. read more

Located in Boca Raton, this upscale restaurant is great for celebrating a special occasion. We each enjoyed three course meals which had better value than ordering a la carte. We selected the Half Crab and Half Shrimp Appetizer which was great. I had Surf and Turf and my husband chose Tuna.

I must say I haven't been to this restaurant in a very long time. I've been doing all the other new steakhouses so this Saturday night we decided to give it a try. I was very happy that we did. I had a tuna which was made just the way I liked it. We also had that chop salad, which was delicious. We had the crabcakes which I must say since I'm from Marilyn that they were good very good. We had some kind of cream corn that was very interesting and Unique complementary bread and butter was delivered to the table Waitress Mary I must say she was a very good server. She was professional. She was informative and she was very helpful. Valet parking is a plus the only thing I made me a little negative was it was a birthday. They said happy birthday and they didn't bring any complementary birthdaycookie or anything which I thought was interesting because all the other steak restaurants do!!! I will return sooner than I waited this long for they do have a summer special. I just noticed it check that out. read more

The restaurant itself was ill-prepared for evening crowd outdoors. Space-heaters were either not working to full capacity or they were having to change out gas tanks during meals. We noticed immediately that no one on the staff was smiling at all. After we ordered our drinks, it took over 1/2 to get them and one of them was in a noticeably dirty glass with remnants of lemon on the rim. This was a coffee drink. It took 15 more minutes to get another one. That came about the same time as our bread that we were told they were going to bring in the very beginning. The butter served with it was not fresh and had a bit of a sour taste. We gave up on flagging our waiter to get it replaced and just ate the bread dry. I should also point out that during all this, there was almost no attention to our empty glasses of water that needed refilling. The appetizer finally came and it was fine. My wife even made a comment that maybe not all is lost. But no such luck. After a wait, a bit longer than it should have been, they finally brought our food out. The main courses were not up to expectation and did not live up to a taste one would expect at a dining establishment of this stature. The side dish of mashed potatoes was even more disappointing as it was already covered with slight crust from having sat out for a while. As come to find out it seems that neither fish course we had may have been fresh enough to serve as my wife and I, both have been up all night and a better part of the morning nauseous and having to make frequent visits to the toilet, with upset stomachs. We are very disappointed in the service, the food, and the overall experience. Maybe they should review their management practices as happy employees would not ever let anything like this happen on all levels. The staff was noticeably not happy and it showed in the restaurant's performance. I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND visits this location and do not expect to go back. read more

Ok...so if you read any of my reviews...and btw...I can't believe anyone does! Anyway...I am a bit of a sucker for consistency. Chops is along the lines of a chain. Albeit a high-end chain. Anyway...it's amazing. Ask for Brian he is highly informative and very aware of what to order. Go for the order that is recommended by Brian or your server of the night. Enjoy. read more

We went here - 4 of us. We had a reservation for 9:30 outside- we weren't seated till 10:00 pm. We had a nice table. We ordered drinks- loved my moscow mule! However, my friend ordered a martini very very cold and he had to send it back. And then we all had caesar salads which were delicious with anchovies. I ordered grouper which was delicious and there were also a steak and a veal chop ordered. Sadly the steak was as raw as could be and had to be sent back as well. I think for a very nice place they could have done a little better with the food and the service. I loved sitting outside so that was nice. It had been raining and fortunately they have covering. The inside has a beautiful feeling - dark wood. sand ai love all the pictures that line the hallway near the ladies room! It might be awhile before I return as I was not totally happy. read more

All I can say is wow. Went for a special occasion with my wife and man were we pleased with the experience. I could honestly write a 3 page review about all the things we loved - from the high end vibes to the service to the atmosphere and of course the food. Instead of being that verbose O will try to succinctly sun up the experience: The decor is stunning. Especially in the dining room with a rounded tile ceiling. A bar area with live music is also available. The service was fantastic and we loved our waitress Mia. She was super attentive, funny, and guided us throughout the evening from our menu choices to our celebration of the special occasion. The food was top notch and pics don't do it justice. I enjoy an app of lightly fried lobster tail - holy moly. My wife love her escargot. For dinner we bought enjoyed bone-in prime grade steaks cooked medium rare. We opted to have the filet and the by strip both served on hot plates so they would continue to cook just a bit after served. We also added the truffle steak butter for our steaks (on the side). The char was fantastic and you can request your char preference from very little all the way to Pittsburgh char. Sides were amazing including Yukon mashed, mushrooms as well as onion rings Desert was very good as well. A truly great evening! Reservations are a must as it's a very popular place in downtown Boca. Parking was valet.. read more

We had an absolutely awful meal at Chops yesterday. We were sat outside on the patio at 7:30pm, which was nice, and things went downhill fast from there. We ordered martinis when we were greeted by our waitress, and once they were delivered we felt we were already being rushed. I sent the waitress away so that we could at least have a sip of our cocktails before being forced to order. She promptly returned. We ordered the tuna tartare and a Caesar salad to start, and both ordered the NY Strip, rare, as a main course. The appetizers came almost instantly. Red flag. The tuna was covered in avocado paste and tasted fishy, the salad had clearly also been previously prepared and had been sitting in a refrigerator. Soggy and tasteless. Here's where the fun really started- we were not even half way through our disappointing apps when the steaks arrived! I commented about how quickly they came out and the response was "yeah, they're fast tonight". Ok? We both cut into our steaks and they were cooked medium. Mind you we ordered rare, and both worked in food service for a number of years and never send back food. This was bad, so when the waitress came back over to see how everything came out, we showed her the steaks and she promptly apologized and said they'd replace them. When the replacements arrived, they were raw, not rare but uncooked. At this point, we were done and had lost our appetite. $300 later, we left hungry and extremely disappointed. For a steakhouse to get temperature wrong, not once but twice, is inexcusable. I've had better meat at Outback. Our waitress was nice, not her fault, but Chops was terrible start to finish. I will never return. read more
