The server said that it was not prepared as I ordered and it would be out soon. It finally arrived (partially) when everyone else had eaten almost half or more of theirs. The broccolli was not on the plate and it would be out momentarily. It actually never came. The final insult was when the bill was presented. The charge for the sword fish was $38.00 for a relatively small portion. We know that prices are rising but to get poor service at a premium price is very disappointing.

We had a somewhat similar experience: VERY tough chateaubriand, a broccoli side that was mush, lukewarm coffee (twice) and barely so-so service. If we were charged $50- to $70 I'd have been a little peeved at most. However for a total price of $150 + for two people...well, we expected a lot better. This was on a Friday night, by the way, which meant the A team was on the floor.
We won't be going back. We patronize instead the Legacy Restaurant at Nancy Lopez. Top-of-the-line service, generous portions no matter when you go, and excellent fare: their chateaubriand was melt-in-your-mouth tender and far more flavorful than that served up by Chop House.
