Even if you don't order anything else you MUST try these. Most of the time I do order A La Carte, main reasons are two of the appetizers not offered on the Fixed Menu: The Calamari and the Morsels of Lobster Tail. The Chocolate Soufflé Cake is rich and served with vanilla ice cream and was a very nice ending to my meal. Steak was cooked perfectly, the lobster tail was fresh, with melted butter on the side, and perfect size to leave room for dessert. The Fixed menu offers several options for appetizer, main course and dessert. I did this Fixed menu once and my experience was equally excellent as when ordering A La Carte. They offer A La Carte menu and also have a Pre-Fixed Menu for about $55. They have all been friendly, attentive, and very welcoming as well. There has not been a server I have not liked here. Hostess escorts you to your table and immediately your assigned server is there ready to greet you and take your drink order. Once your party is complete (or the majority of it) you are welcomed to sit. He immediately puts a smile on everyone's face.
If I'm going with friends or coworkers, and I'm the first to arrive, he immediately offers a drink while I wait, or jokingly suggests a Tequila for two. The hostesses always have a smile, and the gentleman that's always up front makes you feel so welcome and special just by coming in. I enjoy going in, through those big doors, to Chops.
With Ruth Chris's, and Truluck's within walking distance, and Morton's not too far away, I'd say if you want to spend over $60 on a steak dinner, maybe go there.įood (B), Pricing (F), Atmosphere (A-), Service (A-) A few highs, but a lot of lows that really leave me with a bitter taste. Listen, when I go to a place and am going to drop over $60 on a meal, conservatively, treat me like a VIP, not someone who you just want to reach into their wallet and kick out. Our waiter said that this was mainly just for a tasting menu, but cmon, that's just a way to sell me your other products ala carte. Even the NY Strip on the summer special menu was a $5 up-charge for something I found less then par. Nevertheless, that's the point, this place charges more for less. I could barley eat 1/4 of my steak with it, luckily my family shared theirs with me. It cost $2 for the sauce, and the portion size they give you is a joke. A perfect example is the bernaise sauce which I ordered with my steak. In terms of the price, I think they really overcharge here for what they give. Honestly, nothing worthy of a place that has such a high thought of itself. A very basic cheesecake, that was very heavy, thick, and rich with a few strawberries on-top. The other thing I had was the CLB New York Style Cheese Cake. It's warm, and gooey, and the perfect dessert for a chocolate lover. Normally I don't like to get chocolate cakes at restaurants because they overdue it on the chocolate, however, this had so many good layers of flavor it was easily the highlight of the meal. I tried two desserts, but the one I liked much better by far was the Warm Valrhona Chocolate Souffle Cake.
Chops lobster bar 3 course menu mac#
Pure Creamless Corn Mash - Tasty, but unmemorableĬreamy Curly Mac & White Cheddar - Cheese was great, but the macaroni was blandĬreamed Spinach - Extremely pungent minty flavor, a bit strange Roasted Garlic Whipped Potato - Excellent I was able to try a bunch of different sides so here's my quick hot take on them all: Needless to say, it wasn't worthy of it's reputation. It wasn't quite bland, but I don't know what the word is that I am looking for. It just didn't have much flavor, and the pan drippings didn't add much to it either. It was a steak, but not a steak worth $50+ (yes I realize I got an appetizer, side, and dessert as well, but still, the regular menu has the same thing for basically that price). I got the 12oz Prime New York Strip Sirloin Steak for my main meal. Other than that, the soup is fantastic, really creamy, light, and delicious. They pour it into your bowl right in front of you from a sauce boat, which is a nice touch to the service of it all, however, half of the soup is left inside the boat, and the portion already is small. For my appetizer, I started with the Fresh Maine Lobster Bisque Au Cognac. We came during summer, and they had a special three-course menu for summer. Toward the end when the place got busy I could tell they couldn't pay as much attention to us as I would have liked, but I won't penalize them for it. Our waiter was very nice, and attentive, our waters were constantly refilled, and things went smoothly overall. I came with my family and were seated right away (as I said, the place was empty on a Sunday). At 5:30pm the place was empty, but by 6:30 it was packed. In terms of high-end (aka high priced) steakhouses, I'd rank Chops somewhere in the low-middle tier.
