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.

WOW ! I am a Grouper-A-Holic (or WAS ! ) at $43 for one small piece (and so many try to pass off so many other "meaty", "solid" fish as Grouper too). Think my last pound bought on the coast to take home was $27, so figuring most restaurants need to double that to make a profit after paying the chef(s), the servers, the rent, the AC, the cleaning people, the dishwashers.... well, you get the point. Probably not going to get any REAL grouper dinner for under $30 anytime soon ! Guess I'll just continue to go to Port Canaveral to Grill's for my grouper... sure hope they don't raise the prices or change out the real thing for something similar over there! While on the topic, anyone know where one can get genuine pompano when in season ?
