Default Chop House is Open!

Today was day 1 and things went smoothly all things considered. Sat at the inside bar, had a pork tenderloin and it was juicy and flavorful. Service was very good. Pricey.... a bit so, but well worth it! Highly recommend this. Fred made it a point to visit all of his customers and listened closely to everyone's comments.

The beef comes from Nebraska, grain fed, again look up Halpern-Grand Isle Nebraska--check out their video very informative and look for the names of the restaurants they service--on the warehouse shelves

I think I read that the outside seating, near the water, has a simpler menu. Has anyone compared the inside and outside menus?

Both menus are on their website--totally different--apples vs oranges

Going tonight for our Anniversary will post something tomorrow. Can't be bad or the trashers would have doomed the place already.

Ok went to Chop House tonight. They did a great job on the place,decor we thought was nice. About a 15 minute wait for us. Comfortable seats at the bar, nice seating at our table. Waitress was very efficient, explained everything. The Nebraska steak $48 for the Delmonico at today’s price. Our Steaks were delicious, as were the sides. Desert was very good cocktails were well made. As for the prices it’s not your typical quick meal price for sure but the quality of tonight’s meal was very good. If your looking for a cheap meal this is not the place. If your looking for a Special occasion or a step above then come here. Would like to see in a month how the crowds are when everyone gets a chance to check it out for themselves.

Went last night with another couple. It is rare for us to eat out at night but decided to do so impromptu. Got there at 7:30 pm and had a 20 minute wait. The decor is lovely. There has been an effort to dampen the noise of the space by using carpet and soft, comfortable upholstery. We all had filets and all were cooked perfectly to order (rare). The sides that came with the entree were delicious, as well. Our server was very well versed and efficient.

It was hard to believe they'd only been open three days by then.
