Amok is a major national culinary tradition in Cambodia, and also popular in Laos and Thailand. The Thai version uses the same Thai curry paste as red curry. Amok is thick soup cooked with fish, meat, vegetables, eggs and coconut milk.

Culinary information many can not relate to. Good call on info not readily in knowledge bank

I have never had a problem with anything I have ordered at Lopez since they have reopened.

No matter what Lopez is not a steak house. It has too much country club atmosphere. But it is still very good.

I'm just waiting to hear from the first customers reviews before I go.

Read that the Chop House, gets their meat from Halperns, out of Grand Isle ,Ne--went to Halperns website ,they have an interesting video, while watching the video--noticed a label on their warehouse shelving--they provide meat for Shula's--looks like a good indicator

Just hope they don't use a jigger to pour their drinks

Maybe not, but that steak has a really cool handle.

I came here to read what folks have to say about TV new Chop House. What, not one review?

Checked out the outside bar. Very nice, good drinks, and an excellent shrimp cocktail. But what really stood out was no smoking. I spoke to a manager who said smoking was not allowed, because in no way do they want to inconvenience their customers. Left at 7:30 and the place was packed inside and out. It was also nice that people dressed accordingly for an upscale restaurant.

Got there at 5 pm last Saturday hoping to celebrate our anniversary. Overflow crowd waiting outside. They estimated an hour forty five minute wait.. No room at the small bar. They dont take reservations for 2 or 4 .. Went elsewhere.
