Back in September, I called to make reservations for 6 for Christmas Eve dinner. I was told The Chop House was not taking reservations for Christmas Eve until after Thanksgiving, stating they were very busy for that holiday. Hmmmmm. Who knew they were closed on Thanksgiving????

Anyway.....more to the story. I called The Chop House the day after Thanksgiving at 11am when they first opened. I said I would like to make reservations for 6 for Christmas Eve. I was told they were booked up for parties of 6. What????? How can that be?????

I know now that I should have called every week to try to make a reservation for Christmas Eve. Long story short, the manager squeezed our party of 6 into a banquet that is for four people. I declined that because the reservation time was too late for our group.

I'll be more prudent for Christmas Eve 2020 as we hope to dine at The Chop House.
