So, having wanted to try Chop House, we went there for Valentine's dinner. We loved the ambiance and service, but, to us, the food was marginal. We eat very well at home, so dining out has to really be something special. I know the place is very popular, so you really should try it and decide for yourself.

First time since it changed over, I know long time, was not disappointed.

This is reflected in the menu as well. It tries to please everyone by having a large menu with overall mediocre food. If you want to get a good piece of meat, this is NOT the place.

As for vegetarian options, there are choices available.

The place wasn’t very busy, with just a couple of other tables occupied and four people at the bar. My friends really liked the empanadas and the burger. The buffalo tenders were okay, but I think they would have been much better if they had been served hot. Also, charging $2 each for extra blue cheese and ranch seemed a bit excessive. Considering the menu, I would have expected homemade mac and cheese on the children’s menu instead of Kraft. Overall, I believe it's worth a second visit in the future.
