This was only my second time at the Chop House (my first being about year ago for my wife's…read morebirthday) even though my wife's family are what you could call regulars. My wife again chose The Chop House for her birthday dinner celebration and for great reason! We came on her birthday, a Tuesday evening, for drinks and appetizers in the bar area. The gentleman working valet was very respectful and professional and while I can take or leave valet in most cases, he definitely added to the upscale experience of the entire night. Upon seating ourselves at a high-top, both bartenders on shift greeted us with huge smiles and very warm hello's. They are familiar faces to my wife's family and were genuinely happy to see us. Unfortunately, we learned my wife's family's favorite server, Debbie, recently retired but great for her! The bartenders were fabulous themselves. Service, personability, mixology skills were all top-notch. They fit the sophisticated vibe of the restaurant perfectly. We started with drinks of course! A Stoli Elit Martini with a twist, a Dirty Martini, an Apple Butter Old Fashioned, and a Tito's and Club. The drinks came out beautifully. Smooth, chilled. I ordered the Apple Butter Old Fashioned as I was intrigued, but skeptical. While I thought it was good, I'd prefer a regular or Smoked Old Fashioned to the Apple Butter. My wife loved it though. We ordered lots of food to split and each appetizer we picked was as good if not better than the next. The Tuna Nachos fresh and had a tropical, savory flavor with pineapple mixed in. The Kona Tips were tender, full of flavor coming from the Kona crust and sautéed mushrooms/onions, and were served in a skillet full of sauce perfect for soaking up with bread. I actually liked the Kona Tips appetizer more than I liked the Kona Crust I got on my NY Strip I ordered last year (the Strip was great I'd just prefer no Kona crust on the entree). The Flatbread De Jour was a Kona Tip flatbread, which you may call us crazy for ordering two Kona Tip inspired appetizers, but the Kona Tips are just that good. The Oysters we had were small (just how I like them) and were up there with the best Oysters I've had. We finished up with Fried Calamari. They were lightly battered, fried nicely, tender, and served over a bed of different hot peppers (when I say hot, I mean it!). Everything was delicious and there wasn't one appetizer we chose that I wouldn't order again or recommend to others. We did order a few more drinks throughout the night -- another Elit Martini and a Hendrix Martini with the appetizers and then Bailey's on the rocks and Frangelico on the rocks as after dinner, dessert drinks. We ordered a Brownie Sundae for the table for my wife's birthday while she was excused from the table and the bartender brought it out with a lit candle. The bartender also brought out a complementary miniature Crème Brûlée for my wife as she acknowledged The Chop House's Crème Brûlée as one of her favorites earlier in the night when we were talking about the menu. I thought the entire night went as good as you could have hoped. Valet, bar service, food, drinks, desserts, atmosphere. Everything was amazing and most importantly my wife had a great birthday. This is two years in a row we celebrated her birthday at The Chop House and I wouldn't mind seeing this turn into her birthday tradition.

He checked on us through out our meal to ensure we were enjoying our meal. We had the calamari and dozen raw oysters which were both fresh and delicious. We had the Chophouse steak experience which worked out perfectly for our table of four and actually could've feed 5 easily. It consisted of 4 cuts of steaks and my favorites were the filet and ribeye. They were seasoned perfectly and grilled medium rare. Our sides were mashed potatoes, CH hash browns, and grilled asparagus. The weakest link was the asparagus which were small in size but still tasty. I will definitely be back based on service, food and value. This is a perfect restaurant for celebrations, dates and casual dining. Definitely a gem of a restaurant. Will be back sooner than later.

The food is still awesome. The Prime rib is great and if you love salad, the salad bar is so fresh. Truly worth the price. The only thing that I would say has dropped off considerably is the service. Used to be so attentive and great but now there always feels like a slight attitude. And I don't blame them necessarily as there always seems to be some table with old folks who just want to complain and be annoying. I also miss when they stayed open super late but I understand post covid things got too expensive to justify it. Overall do not be disturbed by the Yelp rating, it's great steaks and salad for a premium price.

The ambiance channels an old-school speakeasy with dim lighting, vintage charm, and a relaxed, intimate energy that sets the tone for a memorable evening. The service was adequate--friendly enough, though not particularly standout. For dinner, I shared the bone-in ribeye steak for two. The cut was impressively tender, moist, and cooked to a satisfying finish. That said, it could've used a bit more punch in the flavor department. A touch of garlic butter or an herb-infused glaze during the cooking process would've elevated it from good to unforgettable. The lobster mac & cheese was rich and comforting, and the salad bar? A true highlight. Fresh, well-stocked, and clearly curated with care, it's the kind of detail that keeps me coming back. I genuinely love the salad bar experience here. They offer a mix of daily specials which are set for the days of the week, alongside a solid set menu, which gives diners a nice balance of variety and consistency. Overall, it's a place with character and potential worth a visit, especially if you appreciate atmosphere and classic steakhouse staple. With an old speakeasy, feel dimly lit, just cozy.

Inside the place is divided into three main areas. There is a bar area to the left, a main dining area in the center and a room to the right with Hibachi grills and chefs. We came for a birthday party on a Saturday night with a group of 8 for hibachi. We were well taken care of by a waitress. She asked us for our drink order and our food order and then the experience began. We were served a very light broth based soup with some sliced raw mushrooms and a few cooked pasta. Then came the typical hibachi iceberg lettuce salad with ginger dressing. Next out rolled the chef with his little cart. We had a great time, he made lots of jokes and had everyone laughing and was very engaging. All the classics - onion volcano, broccoli flinging into your mouth. He gave the adults saki shots out of a squeeze bottle and the minors lemonade out of a baby bottle. The group ordered a variety of different meats. You can do various things from chicken, steak, to seafood. You get stir fried vegetables and fried rice. (You can choose noodles for an upcharge) overall it was an entertaining experience, the food was pretty good and the server and the chef were friendly, engaging and worked hard to keep our group happy. I'd recommend, especially for an occasion like a birthday party. Oh! The also have a neat little server robot that is programmed to take your sushi order or dessert over to your table. Our daughter had some vanilla ice cream delivered to her with the robot! Fun times!

We started off with fresh bread, made in-house, and a bottle of wine from Saddlehill Winery. (They sell bottles from the winery up the road.) bread was nice and crispy. For appetizers we did the clams casino and calamari. The clams casino were loaded with fresh red peppers and bacon and had a great smoky taste. The calamari was some of the best I've ever had! They don't use batter for the squid and it was still so crunchy and flavorful. The marinara was exquisite. For entrees I had the chicken francese which was battered well, and had a tangy lemony taste. Served with snap peas and mashed potatoes. My friend had the chicken parm and the spaghetti it was served with, as simple as it looked, was phenomenal. The chicken parm was a classic and fantastic choice, served with a nice oozing amount of cheese. We shared the ravioli Di aragosta which was stuffed extremely well with lobster and crabmeat and topped with carrot sauce! The carrot sauce was better than I expected, very creamy and light. Definitely a unique time to try. We ended the night with housemade tiramisu and Italian rum cake. Both desserts were so moist and tasty, not overly sweet, and light which made a perfect post-dinner treat. We also sampled their housemade limoncello which was so smooth and lemony! Safe to say I was blown away with the food. Everything is prepared fresh here and you can taste the passion in the dining. The owners are husband and wife, and Mr. Fieni does the cooking while Mrs. Fieni does the baking. What a perfect team! I love the simple collaborative approach they have. To top it off, the service was incredible. We had people checking in with us all night and our server was so friendly and personable.
