Chops City Grill

My actual experience this time warranted a 2 on the food, but my prior experience was much better. The ambiance is nice and the wait staff attentive. We went with our neighbors for the early bird special which was good a year ago. Maybe it is food inflation but the offerings were chicken and pasta centric and the were very heavy on the butter to the point of being inedible. I comforted myself with my 1/2 price bottle of Rhone ( they do have a nice wine selection). My friend ordered off the regular menu and had a steak which she much enjoyed. I will not make the same mistake again. Pricey or not it is the regular menu for me.

if you are going on a friday evening during season at around 6, make sure you have a reservation, or sit al fresco which we did - the outdoor area is lovely, and they had propane heaters on this wonderful january evening ...

we sat down just before 6 and asked for the early menu - we were denied the option - server had some lame excuse about being seated by 5:45 - did not let this effect our evening, they did have a drink special until 6:30 and the bloody mary's were some of the best ever had ...

salad and pot sticker appetizer very good ...

wife fillet cooked as requested, and my pepper crusted seared tuna was quite a treat ...

service was spot on

no room for dessert

when leaving, about 7:30 - the place was absolutely packed

nice restaurant for a birthday celebration, menu is pricey ... however, the old adage applies - you get what you pay for ...

Always a good and consistent meal, but expensive.
