I asked the waitress why she didn’t tell us the price when she described the special (I would never have ordered it if I had known it was $43), she said they only tell you prices if you ask. So I am posting this to advise you that if you order a special at the Chop House, ask the price before ordering!! We will never go there again after this experience.

It is standard practice at fine restaurants to not tell you the price of specials unless you ask. You can always ask. The idea is that these aren’t usually special prices (discounts) but special meals not usually available. I don’t know much about the price of fish. Are groupers generally expensive? I do know enough to not order a “fish special” on Sunday night, as they are just trying to get rid of fish they will have to throw away the next day because it is several days old. If you want fresh fish, don’t buy it on Sunday.
