1/2 Dozen Jumbo Fried Shrimp
Caleb H.

This quickly became my first-night-in-town routine whenever I visit for work. I've been here at least 4-5 times now. I always have a great experience sitting at the bar. The bartenders are fantastic, the food is delicious, and the Old Fashioned is excellent. As a solo business traveler, it's always easy to find a seat and enjoy good conversation. Note... the chef may or may both have the ability to lollipop your lamb every time. I shared the 3 photos I have of the previous visits too. I'll continue coming until I move on from VB for work!

Lamb chops

Came for dinner during restaurant week. We had a reservation, so we were seated quickly. We were seated not too far from the bar area but it was still a nice and romantic ambiance. My husband I ordered t a glass of wine while we looked over the menu. I got the caesar salad, the surf and turf with cheesecake for desert. My husband got the fried shrimp, lamb chops and cheese cake. The fried shrimp appetizer and the shrimp scampi on the surf and turf was soo good!! They were cooked and seasoned perfectly!! The steak was cooked well. My husband enjoyed his lamb chops. The cheesecake was really good too! Definitely a great spot to check out for a nice date night.

We decided to finally come here as it's been a local spot to try for a while. We made a reservation, but upon entry, we were shocked to see the restaurant practically empty on a Saturday evening. We were seated in a booth in the bar area. Service was prompt. The food was ok and the portions were a little small for the price point. There is no pizazz what so ever. The best thing was the steak because the sides were plain and limited. Doubt we will come back. We have had much better experiences and food for less in the area. A little disappointing and left much to desire.

So it was my last night in HR and I wanted an amazing meal. I searched and decided on this spot for the rack of lamb. I got there and sat at the bar. The restaurant was empty and that threw me off a little. I ordered some drinks and the scallops as an appetizer. That was an amazing 1st course that opened my appetite up for what came next. The lamb chops were amazing. I would have ordered more but I had my fill. They were tender and flavorful. The potato was a nice pairing with it as well. I highly recommend this dish to anyone that dines here. Hopefully the restaurant is a bit more lively though.

I've wanted to try Chops for a while now, I finally tried it. It wasn't worth the wait, I should have kept waiting. We tried this place out for Mother's Day and the service was okay. We ordered Calamari and it was very salty, I had to send it back. When the food came out, it wasn't even hot. The food was room temperature and my flounder was overcooked. The lobster bisque I ordered did not have chunks of lobster in it. It was basically a tomato soup with blended up lobster. Our entrées were pretty much bland, the fish could've used a little bit of garlic, maybe some lemon and a dash of salt. We ordered a New York cheesecake and a crème brûlée for dessert and it took a long time for them to bring out the dessert. I honestly think they went to New York and came back with it lol jk but it did take a long time. My sons chicken tenders and fries were the best thing we ordered. My reservation was at 5:30 and everything took a long time because the kitchen was backed up, but I honestly don't know why because the restaurant was pretty much empty for it to be a Mother's Day Sunday. We didn't finish dinner until after 7:30 PM because it took a while for the food to get there and the food get corrected because we didn't receive what we ordered at first, the checks to come and the checks to be corrected. Here's the part I did not like I did not see any signs about automatic gratuity being included, but my bill went from $191 subtotal before taxes to being $270. I added a copy of the receipt so you guys can view the charges with me. Would I try this place again? Probably not... I think Texas roadhouse has better food at this point & it's very overpriced. Sorrellas next door is way better I'm upset I spent so much on food that wasn't great but I didn't want to keep sending food back. As for me, this is a first and last.

Visited the area and had Chops book marked! Went with family. Seated promptly for our reservation. We had the Korean tuna and the fried shrimps! Fried shrimp were big and juicy. Not a heavy fry on them. Very good. The Korean tuna was very tender, and full of flavor. We ordered steaks and lobster. I had the twin lobster tails with broccoli and mashed potatoes. It was excellent. Then the others had the 6oz filet mignon. And a rib eye. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Service was excellent!!

Whole Rack of Lamb
Melissa Z.

This place was a very average steakhouse, if even that. The restaurant is big, dimly lit, and has a big bar. The inside looks clean but the service was okay. They had a promising menu and the food and presentation looked amazing, but the quality was just not there. Especially for the price of everything at the end. We got the korean spiced tuna, cocktail shrimp, and corn and chicken soup. The only thing good was the soup which was hot and delicious. But the soup being the best thing was very telling. Next, we got the rack of lamb, penne alla vodka, chicken alfredo, and cajun jambalaya pasta. Every single pasta except the cajun was just not flavorful or made with any quality. The cajun jambalaya was okay and had the most flavorful but I wouldn't recommend the pasta here. The rack of lamb with mashed potatoes was also just average and the mashed potatoes tasted like it came from the box. The cocktails were the best thing about this place. They were well made and delicious.

Wedge salad. Delicious!

Super impressed with Chops! It's been on the list for quite some time but had fallen off the radar lately. Restaurant Week is always a great time to get out and sample some of our wonderful culinary scene soooo, no time like the present! We stopped in last night for a "date night" and were easily and quickly seated at a quiet plush tufted leather booth in the back. They have a large and nice bar area with tons of bar seating along a very lengthy stone/granite bar with a few high-tops. They also have a lot of outdoor patio seating you can use in the summer months when it's warmer. In the back there are large leather booths along the walls and windows with standard table seating in the center which is much quieter away from the bar. Our waitress, Abigail, was wonderful. Exceedingly professional and polite, very attentive, knowledgable about the menu, and friendly as could be. I chose the 3-Course Tasting Menu for Restaurant week and went with a seasonal salad of feta, tomato, cucumber, greens and lemon vinaigrette (no olives for me), Short Ribs with Mashed Potatoes and Chocolate Mousse. Hubs went for just a standard wedge salad and shrimp cocktail from the main menu. He didn't want all the carbs. I had asked beforehand about the fat on the meat bc I was thinking of the Pork Chop and it was bone-in so I knew it would be fatty. I went for the short ribs thinking they would not be as fatty but, unfortunately when they arrived it had two large bones and tons and tons of fat in the meat so I only ended up eating a super small strip of clean meat and some potatoes. I was not happy bc I felt like I hardly had any protein. My husband mentioned to the waitress and she easily spoke to management who offered to take it off or make me anything else on the menu I'd like to go. I went with the Flounder which was fish of the day with asparagus and mashed potatoes and we tried it when we got home - SO delicious. They prepared it quickly and nicely packaged it to go while we enjoyed the chocolate mousse and french press coffee. It was amazing and a great portion size. I'd order it every time if it was always on the menu. Our waitress was gracious the entire time, easily answered all questions, and happy to accommodate and make it right when I didn't like the meat. When the bill came - they had taken off the $45 tasting menu and had charged the lesser price of the $36 for the flounder. Basically giving me the salad and mousse free of charge for the issue. A classy move and well-handled. We will be back 1000%. It's beautifully decorated inside - think Ruth's Chris with wood and leather and gorgeous lighting fixtures. It's clean, with an open-kitchen and large bar. Staff were all neat and tidy and exceedingly polite and friendly. A gem!

Blood allover food from improper cooked steak

Visited Chops last night for the first time for a weekday date night on Virginia Beach Restaurant Week. Upon walking into the establishment, we were really impressed with the layout and atmosphere of the restaurant. We both chose the restaurant week menu. I ordered the 3-course meal of winter green salad, surf & turf (8oz sirloin, shrimp scampi, mashed potatoes & broccoli) and seasonal cheesecake. The salad was a basic salad. The sirloin was ordered medium and came out 10% medium and 90% well done. The shrimp scampi didn't have much flavor and was more the size of salad shrimp. The mashed potatoes were basic and the broccoli was cooked very well. The seasonal cheesecake was ok, it had a topping that tasted like toasted oatmeal. My husband order the 3-course meal of fried shrimp with Cajun sauce, half rack of lamb with mashed potatoes and broccoli and chocolate mousse. The fried shrimp was a very good size and tasty but only 2 shrimp. The half rack of lamb was 4 separated small lamb chops. It was ordered medium and came out perfect, they just didn't have a lot of meat on them. The chocolate mousse wasn't that appealing. After receiving our food the waitress came to check on us and I showed her that my steak was well done and not medium. She apologized and said she would talk to the chef. When she returned she said the chef requested the remaining steak and would make another. After waiting for a new steak the waitress came out with a new steak and sides. This time the steak was medium rare. At this point we just boxed the food up and paid the bill. Overall the restaurant did not met our expectations. For the price point of our bill I would not return. There are a ton of places that we love that we can order a perfectly cooked steak.

We wanted to go somewhere special for our Wedding Anniversary and this place looked fancy. They weren't that many people dining inside so when we came in the Hostess asked did we have a reservation, we did not. But we got seated immediately. The dining room was cozy with a dimly lit light on each table and they have a Bar also. Our Server Azalia greeted us and explained the Specials. We placed our drink orders, my hubby got a Lemon Drop Martini which was really good. Warm Bread was brought to the table. We ordered the Korean Spicy Tuna and Wedge Salad. The Korean Spicy Tuna was good but the portions were small for the price. I ordered the Filet Mignon with Lobster Tail with Mash Potatoes and Asparagus. My Husband ordered the Cowboy Ribeye that came with Broccoli. The Steaks were good and cooked right. The Ribeye was on the small side for $70 and it only came with one side. My Lobster Tail was chewy and had a funny taste to it. Our Server bought us ice cream for a free Anniversary Dessert. Our Server Azalia was friendly and checked on us often. They charge you $7.14 for a Credit Card Fee which was disappointing. The food was pricey for the quality. Bottom line we won't be returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Is there a dress code? Can you wear a 🧢?

Yes, no beach wear. Shirt & shoes a must. I've never seen White tees or anything like that at Chops, not even in the bar area. My personal rule of thumb is think night out, when in doubt throw on heels... and if you're a guy keep a button up handy.…

Both the host and our server were very friendly. The restaurant itself is nice - it has a dark, masculine decor vibe. While I loved the types of chairs they use, I will say their tables for two are very small. They had this little side table type of thing and that was where I had to put my purse and some of the extra dishes to have room. We had the Wyagu Ribeye and the Picahna steak. Both were very good and cooked to perfection. I had the risotto which I didn't feel was cooked right; it had a gummy texture. The Cesar salad was one of the best I've had. I am not sure if their dressing is house made but it was very good and the addition of prosciutto was a nice touch! I also had a Paloma that was very fresh! Now this is supposed to be a steak house and cantina. The decor did give traditional cantina vibes, but the menu did not offer many traditional cantina type foods. If you are looking for cantina style dishes, you may find yourself disappointed. We did do the guacamole though, and it was just OK I'd say. Would I come back? For the steak and salad yes. Otherwise it was a little underwhelming to the price!

Cobalt Grille was next--you guessed it, they were closed too. We drove around and stumbled upon Gaston's. Not being able to eat at those other restaurants was the BEST thing that could have happened to us that day! The ambiance and the gentle vibe you get when you walk in this place is palpable. And the food lives up to the ambiance too. My party haslamb chops, cowboy steak, asparagus and a myriad of sides that came with these meals. I heard lots of "oohs" and "this is delicious" from my family. Unfortunately, I am a vegan and the choices were virtually nonexistent for me--but in Gaston's defense, they are an Italian steakhouse (they never said they catered to vegans).

We were greeted immediately, seated right away, and our waitress was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. Before ordering, I actually spoke with the owner, Gaston, because I wanted his recommendation for the best steak on the menu. He confidently recommended the Cowboy Ribeye, assuring me that it was one of their signature steaks. I ordered it medium rare with a little char, exactly the way I enjoy it. I also asked if I could substitute the mashed potatoes and broccoli for another side since I don't eat either of those. I was told substitutions were not allowed. For a $60 steak, I found that disappointing. I wasn't asking for anything extravagant--just a different vegetable or a simple side salad. When my steak arrived, it was much smaller than I expected for the price and didn't resemble the Cowboy Ribeye I was anticipating. It was cooked slightly over medium rare, and while it wasn't terrible, the flavor was only average and had a slightly off taste, almost as if the broiler hadn't been cleaned recently. To make matters worse, the mashed potatoes and broccoli I had specifically asked to leave off the plate were served anyway. To be fair, the service was excellent. Our waitress handled everything professionally and even apologized for the sides, explaining the kitchen had plated them before she could stop it. The chicken scallopini ordered by someone else in our party was very good, and the other chicken entrées were also enjoyed. Unfortunately, I came for the steak, and that's where the experience fell well short of expectations. At this price point, I expected a high-quality cut of beef, some flexibility with side dishes, and an overall experience that matched the cost. Instead, it felt like every effort was made to minimize portions and avoid accommodating a simple request. I always try to support local restaurants, and I don't enjoy leaving negative reviews. But when you're paying premium prices, the food should reflect it. Based on my experience, I can't recommend the steaks here.

The ambiance was nice, the open kitchen with the wood fire hearth right at the entrance added a warm cozy feel from the onset. The restaurant was warmly lit but not dark. We were seated immediately in the far left dining area in an elevated booth. After reviewing the menu we settled on the fried deviled eggs and wood fire oysters for starters and the Vincent Vega pizza for dinner. Fried deviled eggs was a first for us and it was so good! The egg white was breaded very lightly and fried and the egg yolk was piped on top with a piece of smoky delicious bacon goodness. It had a nice smoky, bacon-y taste and we devoured them. I only wish you got more than 2 pieces. I think 4 pieces would be better for the price considering it's essentially one egg but I'm not complaining. The wood fire oysters was another hit for us, the serving came with 6 half shell oysters topped with breadcrumbs (light), swimming in butter and fire roasted. I think we ate these even faster than the deviled eggs lol! Would definitely get these again. The pizza also did not disappoint. If you like bacon, mushrooms and creamy Boursin cheese, you'll love this pizza. We added crushed red pepper flakes which added a nice kick. The crust is the star of the show; thin, crispy but still has body and slightly chewy. Yum! That wood fire hearth definitely makes a difference. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back! The staff were also very nice and friendly.

For entrees I got the lamb chops with risotto and she crab soup. The lamb was very tender but the flavor was lacking. It was also luke warm. The she crab soup was good but too salty. The owner also acknowledged that as well. The risotto was okay. Nothing special. My husband got the grilled bronzino and broccolini. I tried some and I liked the taste but he said it could have used more flavor. Broccolini was steamed and I wish they had grilled it instead. The bread pudding was the star of the entire meal.

Drinks were all very good Service: This is probably why I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 3. The service was very good. First, they called me prior to my reservation and asked if they could pre-chill any wine or champagne for my husband's birthday and I was very appreciative of that. When we got there, our drinks came out a little slow but our waiter comped that immediately. Throughout the night, the owner checked in on us several times and that stood out to me.

First, let me say the service was absolutely TOP TIER! The staff was attentive, friendly, and the overall atmosphere definitely gave that elevated dining experience.

For drinks, I kept it simple with a tequila sunset and substituted pineapple juice for orange juice a good drink! Now for the meals. I ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and green beans. I hate to even say this because I had such high hopes, but the lamb chops lacked seasoning for me. I ordered them medium, but they were definitely more medium rare. I love a medium rare ribeye, but not so much with lamb chops. The mashed potatoes and green beans were decent, but overall needed a little more flavor. My husband had the Butcher's Burger with wedges. He said it was a solid burger, slightly overcooked, but still good overall. He did enjoy the different flavor the pork belly added.

Our server was great and I wish I knew her name to shout her out. Ask to sample any wine you're curious about. And let me say... the sampling pours are more than just a sip. I was astonished! I chose the red flight as rendered. Everything was good. I'm not a fan of Spanish reds and should have substituted that one. Next time! They are so conscientious about food allergies and preferences that you can customize everything (except the jambalaya). I already knew before arriving (because I look at menus ahead of time) that I was getting the scallop and shrimp risotto, especially after I learned I could have it without the disgusting peas and asparagus (but with extra spinach.... I do love some veggies). It was AMAZING and will probably be the dish I always end up getting at the Indian Land, SC location when it opens. No room for dessert so you'll have to read my next review for that. 10/10

While out on a Wednesday evening, my daughter and I decided to stop by Cooper's for a quick wine…read moretasting, but the wait was far too long, so we ended up sitting at the bar and dining in. The bartender was very sweet and provided us with menus right away. Since I had a "Dine-In Only Bottle" available as a member, I ordered a bottle Cabernet Sauvignon, which is my absolute favorite. We also decided on the House-Made Meatballs (another favorite), the Crispy Barbacoa Arancini, which is a "featured" item, and the Classic Cheeseburger. While we waited, we chatted with others at the bar and since we all wanted to sample the Wine of the Month, the Blanc de Noirs, our bartender was able to provide us with a tasting, which we enjoyed. It took about 40 minutes for our food to arrive but everything tasted amazing, as always. The House-Made Meatballs never miss and the Crispy Barbacoa Arancini were amazing! My daughter enjoyed her Cheeseburger as well. Cooper's Hawk will forever be my one of favorite restaurants and I can't wait to return!!!

We stopped in for an early dinner and were really pleased with the happy hour options and quality…read moreof the food. Lindsey was an excellent server and made us feel welcome and provided great suggestions for drinks and food. The brick and wood interior was cosy and added to the historic feel. We will be back again!

The bourbon is the only thing saving this place from a 1 star review…read more Its tucked in the basement level of the Cavalier Hotel, and looks interesting at first glance- a large bar room with a variety of seating and a big glass viewing area into the distillery. We had a reservation for five. Their answer to that was to sit us at a four person hi-top and stick a chair on the end so everyone was crammed in, and sitting on the end meant everyone kept bumping into me the whole night. As for the distillery- someone had the brilliant idea to turn off all the lights in there at 7- so there went your view and any ambient lighting in the dim basement. The service was slow and lackluster. The food was lousy. I had the venison, which was under-seasoned. The pepper gravy had no pepper in it. Only the Brussels sprouts had any actual flavor. The bourbon was the best part of the meal. They offer small 2ox tasters and it was actually quite well done. But not worth going back for.

Made a reservation and showed up 30 mins early and we were seated right away. Thought the inside…read morewas very nice and cozy. Really like the privacy as well. We ordered the truffle fries (my husband loved them) but I thought they needed a little more truffle. I told the waiter what drink I liked and he customized one for me. It was really good I had two! I ordered a medium ribeye with the potatoes and the steak itself was okay. I was very sad about the potatoes, took only a few bites and then left them alone. Overall for a date night I thought the place was good.

Came here to check out this newly opened restaurant, and unfortunately I can't come back with the…read moreprice and taste of the food. P.S: The server and host were attentive and nice, so the low rating is entirely for the food. My bf and I ordered a truffle fries to share, I ordered the Braveheart Ribeye with broccolini and risotto(forgot what flavor but it was cooked in a cream sauce), and my bf ordered the Ribeye Lasagna. The truffle fries: the fries tasted fresh but they looked like the b-dub fries. Comes with ketchup, which I was hoping for some sort of aioli for an upscale chophouse. The Braveheart Ribeye: The temperature was what I asked for(medium rare), but the char is straight up crispy brunt and bitter as if I'm eating charcoal pieces. I also ordered a demi glaze on the side, and that tasted and looked like some McCormick sauce. No demi-glaze flavor and the color is transparent like those powdered gravy packets. The broccolini was bitter. They were tucked under the steak so maybe the brunt from the steak went onto the broccolini... The risotto was creamy but they were undercooked cuz they were still hard. My bf said his Ribeye Lasagna just tasted like a normal lasagna like he couldn't tell the difference of normal beef and the "ribeye meat" that they used, but it was a big size and the sauce was pretty good so he thinks it's worth the money. The creme brulee... I have this tradition with my bf which we will order a creme brulee(if the restaurant provides) during our first visit. I'm no Michelin creme brulee reviewer, but I'd say I tried and made enough creme brulee to identify what a standard and good creme brulee is, and unfortunately this just ain't one. The flame on top is a cool gimmick but it melts the supposedly crispy top to a little too soft (we waited for about 5 mins after the flame was gone before eating it). The texture of the creme was NOT creme brulee but more like flan, when the creme should've been more of a custard/solid but creamy like texture. We were told their creme brulee has a little orangey-taste to it, but the orangey taste just totally covers the flavor of creme brulee. All we could taste was a bitter orange flan. Although my bf likes his lasagna, we both agreed that for this price we would've expected better tasting food. I have no doubt that the ingredients they used were high quality, but this is just not gonna go nowhere when you don't have the right chef to cook them.
