If you are on Facebook it’s best to check in to the establishment on Facebook then comment. The manager will see it and most likely respond.

Some people like to eat at overpriced restaurants, it makes them feel special.

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.

First post. I look forward to more complaints.

We eat at ChopHouse 3 to 4 times a month. I have never had a bad meal there. Lat week they had a nice size New England lobster tail with 2 sides for $38. Their prime meat is excellent.
I find it odd somebody would order a meal without asking the price.

Nice kangaroo logic! Way to jump to a wrong conclusion.

I agree! Everyone has an occasional bad day. I have always had great food and service at not only Chop house, but most every restaurant in TV.
Also there is a very big shortage of help for business everywhere. My friends and I attempted to have dinner last night at Gators in Brownwood. The place was less than half full. When I asked for a table, they said it would be 30-35 min. Because of shortage of kitchen help. She apologized and said it was tough for her too because she is a server and she relies on tips.
Soooo…. BE PATIENT! I’m sure the restaurant want you to have a great experience every time but as we all know…💩 Happens!!!

very very first world problem. . .

labor shortage with HUGE competition 45 mins to 1 hr south, with better tips. . as compared to the fixed income retirement crowd. The younger, more money hungry labor has moved on to better wages as the employment market opened back up. Its what they do. .

population growth of retirees growing faster than quality labor supply for local vendors. . when will people learn than the hardest to manage in a free market is fast growth, and here is no different.

Throw in some huge gas prices and disposable income drops quickly, some will be cash flow negative for the current job with driving involved and low wages. . what do you recommend for them to continue to serve you?

40 years of relative peace and prosperity has been upended, and life style is changing, time to adapt or at least tolerate the occasional hiccup.

I have eaten at the Chop House on many occasions and frankly it is my GO-TO restaurant when I want the best meal in The Villages. I have never had a bad dinner and my service has always been excellent.

I also recommend Turners in Old Leesburg.

A petty complaint. Move on and forget about it. Using social media to get back at them is just plain wrong.

No more Chop House for us…. The last two times was very disappointing so we won’t be going back.

To me, The Chop House is WAY overrated….. same category as the WAY overrated Rose Plantation !!

Very true the time to fix it is when you are still at the restaurant.

All the OP is trying to do is hurt the restaurant and its employees.

Doesn't sound like a petty complaint to me. I like knowing about other people's experience. And social media is an easy way to share that experience. Isn't that the purpose of TOTV? The OP was not getting back at them.

Our visits at the Chop House have been mixed. Some good, some not so good.

that said, as an earlier post said, you don't order fish at a steak house,
and you don't order steak at a fish house

YES!!! That is my point also. One does not go to McDonalds and order a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
