To start off with, it is a Sunday night before the snowbirds arrive (quiet). Our waiter "P" we have…read morehad before on several occasion. Well, he must have been having a BAD night. He was rude from the beginning and the service was terrible from our drink order all the way to dessert. "P" handed our hot plates of food to each of us, and made us grab our plates from him. I had an overpriced NY Strip that was the worst cut of meat I have ever experienced here. It was supposed to be rare to medium rare, and came out well-done. I did not have the heart or the patience to send it back. The other 3 dinners were acceptable, at best. Really? Who puts macaroni & cheese with chicken on a dinner menu for an adult??? The two other meals were salmon, now at half the size of what they used to be. The appetizers were calamari with no red sauce with a little yellow sauce. The calamari was cold, no one knew what the yellow sauce was, and we couldn't find out waiter, which was odd since it was such a slow night. (6p on Sunday) The other appetizer was the mini sherry meatballs, with no taste of sherry whatsoever, but included a grey mystery sauce. Not favorable! We have been to this restaurant many times over the years, and found it wonderful and decently priced for a steakhouse. Well, the menu has completely changed, and now is extremely overpriced for what Modern Chop servings. Steaks are better at the butcher, and dare I even say Publix. Detwiler's would be the best choice for this meat. It was my sister's birthday, and "P" made no mention of it. "P" did not come back to fill water glasses until the end of the meal, like it was "paining" him to do. We had finished our cocktails and wine, and never offered a second. BAD SERVICE! I completely understand that service worker's depend on tips as part of their salary, and I always tip on service. Needless to say, "P" was not happy with his tip when we left! Normally, we are over tippers, and felt that this could be a learning experience for him. We know the wait staff does not cook the food, so we don't blame the poor meals on them. Service is what they get paid for. Lesson learned. Overall experience with same decor as before, prices gone up 30% at least, food quality down by 40%! Go back to the old menu or at least include items for the old menu like fried green tomatoes and bourbon salmon. The fried green tomatoes were actually quite tasty. I don't like leaving reviews good or bad, just an FYI for future patron's of Modern Chop and its managers/owner. I won't bore you with anything else, but I was dissatisfied and disappointed. This was like my 30th time here for drinks and dinner. It is time to find a new steakhouse.

Just moved to the area and this was our first time here and everything from the start was…read moreimpeccable. First off, valet guy was super nice. We parked down the block and walked over since we were early for our reservation. I love where they seated us (in the corner away from the bar and other tables). I don't think I'd want to sit anywhere else when we go back! Waiter was immediately on it with explaining specials and checked in with us frequently/filled waters. He recommended a Pinot noir based on what I told him I liked and I really enjoyed it. I also showed him a picture from Yelp of what I wanted for dinner and he told me how it would be a little different. I chose that dish and I wasn't disappointed. We literally scraped our plates clean. This was our first night out alone I a long time and I'm so happy we had such a great ambiance and dinner. Husband was confused with his dish (he thought the pesto was going to have pieces of zucchini and squash) instead it was puréed into the sauce with pieces of spinach. He still enjoyed it and said it felt lighter and healthier (not too oily). He also wished for more bread. Thanks for taking care of us Coasties! We will be back especially for that steak (cooked perfectly)!

I had the linguine with vodka sauce and added blackened chicken. The chicken was extremely dry and I was unable to finish it. The serving size of pasta I also found to be small especially for quite a high price point. The price point of the entire menu I think is also much too high for what you are getting. The edamame gyoza were only 4 in one dish and we also shared the hummus board which was very small for an expensive price. I think they should definitely be re-evaluating how their menu is priced for their portions and the meals themselves.

My daughter had a Caesar salad and kids mac n cheese. My son had the chicken fingers. My husband and I both had the filet mignon. It was cooked perfectly. The restaurant is decorated with a modern coastal vibe with a large aquarium tank in the middle. Tables are made to be intimate so perfect for 2-4 people. Though they can accommodate larger parties. Needless to say, this is still one of my favorite places to dine.

We had dinner here last night and it was an overall good experience…read more The whole staff from entry to departure were on their game. Very good customer service. The ambiance was great, modern and inviting to enjoy a nice evening out. We ordered the wedge salad and French onion soup for our appetizer, filets for our entree, potatoes al gratin for our side, and crème brûlée for dessert. The complimentary bread and butter was very good, my wedge salad was delicious, the French onion soup was very nice, the al gratin potatoes were decent but maybe a little more salt or butter or cheese may improve the score, the crème brûlée was top notch I'm looking forward to having another one in the future, now the only reason I gave a 4 rather than a 5 star was our filet came out at the perfect medium temperature and they were tender, but for some odd reason they were slightly unseasoned and dry which we couldn't understand. Next time we go we will try the fish or something else for our entree. Keep in mind that the amount of the meal was on the higher end, so be prepared to spend a little. We will return in the future to try again. Food 8.5 Ambiance 9.0 Service 9.0

Food wise after several meals of fish we were excited to dive into some red meat. The 8 oz fillet was grilled to perfection and came with two "sides" (although the "side" Caesar-$3 extra, would have served 2 easily). I enjoyed the beef tips special with a savory mushroom gravy served over garlic mashed potatoes. The bread service was fine but nothing special. Definitely save room for the outstanding chocolate mousse cake-huge slab of chocolate cake layered with a creamy chocolate mousse and covered with shavings of white chocolate. There's a decent wine list (beer and wine only here) and we enjoyed a nice brunello. Service was super and we enjoyed the cosy atmosphere. Recommended

Overall a great experience, with a nice clean inviting atmosphere and excellent service! Would love to visit again!

Valentines 2026…read more First time at Connors and it didn't disappoint. He, Gary, had the Prime Rib with Garlic Mash and side salad. I had the petit filet, 6 oz, with lobster bisque and asparagus. Connors did not disappoint. My filet was a perfect medium rare with a fantastic char. Let's face it we can get such a fantastic char on our home Weber without over cooking it. Those professional grills are wonderful. Gary's prime rib was perfectly medium rare as well. Gary enjoyed a few Stella's and I enjoyed a red sangria. Finished our meal with strawberry icecream that we shared. The restaurant is configured so that privacy for those intimate meals as there are numerous cozy booths. Service was excellent with our server checking back to see if everything was delicious and asking if we needed anything. Best part, they do take reservation. Sorry, no photos. I prefer to concentrate on our meal and each other.
