This restaurant is a class act. Please be sure to dress well if you go here.
I went about 6ish on a Friday night, and was there during their 4-8 happy hour. Â They have fried baby lobster tail on the happy hour menu that was delicious! It came with butter, lemon, and some type of cream sauce that was really tasty! Â A must try! Â The bar was pretty full with people in ages of 30-40ish on average dressed well.
In addition, I had a Cesar salad which they put the anchovies on top for you, but I told them they could hold them back. The salad was okay to me.
The lobster bisque soup was interesting as you can order it with or without lobster. Â Who wants it without? So I ordered it with and they come and put the lobster in the bowl right in front of you and then pour the bisque on top. Â It was verrrry good but I like my soup hot and it was not, it was warm. It was nice and thick though!
Around 7 a band came on with a trombone player and singer. Â They were PHENOMENAL. Â They also don't stand in one place as they move around the room. Not too loud, not too soft, good quality sound. Â Songs varied but definitely old schhol They have a band Wed through Sunday apparently but I am not sure if it is always the same band. Â
Service was on point.  Refills were on the table before empty and oh, they give you all types of  hot bread including raisin! When I asked where was the restroom, I was walked to it.
I must say this is a definite must go back to. Â My only recommendations are soup should be hotter and beef up the ceasar salad a bit. Â Not enough to take a star off though- yet. Â If it happens again, then I will.
Parking is a bear, by the way. If you choose to valet the restaurant will validate at the table for you so you don't have to pay to park.
I can not speak to the cost as I was fortunate to not have to pick up the check, but I will say guys--you need to be taking your quality dates here for sure!!! Â It was excellent, excellent, excellent!!!
This is a fine steak/chop/seafood restaurant that I will definitely dine at again. Â The tables are spaced well to allow for private conversation and the decor is warm and inviting with dark wood panelling on the upper level. Â The lower level was not as appealing as the arched tile ceiling reminded me of the Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station. Â
As for the service, professional, attentive and unobtrusive.
The food was very good with my sautéed lobster tail appetizer light and tasty, the 8 ounce filet mignon perfectly done (accompanied by a light peppercorn sauce) and wild mushrooms delicious.  My husband's lamb chops were sizable and very good as were the little neck clams he had as an appetizer.  For me, a good bread basket sets the tone and the raisin and nut bread slices as well as the small rolls filled with onions were warm and fresh. Â
My toffee crunch brownie for dessert should have had more toffee crunch but the vanilla ice cream served on top was delicious. Â The cheesecake looked delicious and that's what I will try next time. Â
Chops is a sophisticated yet unpretentious restaurant. Â I look forward to future visits.
For such high prices, we would expect more out of a restaurant such as this. I took my family to the Boca location for Mother's Day. Many ordered the 3 course meal special for $49. That does not buy a lot. The appetizer was small and poor quality compared to the regular order. The NY Strip was 12oz of grizzle and tasteless meat. I have had the regular Entree- much better. When we complained to the waiter, he gave us a response that all beef has fat. He could care less until tip time.
We would not go back to this location again. By the way, stay away from the specials!
The service was incredible and the food was terrific!! Â
My wife and i went last night and really enjoyed it...we split a chopped salad, I had the filet and she had the sauteed seafood plate. Â We also ordered a baked potato to split (they're HUGE) and broccoli w/ hollandaise on the side. Â The steak and seafood were cooked perfectly and tasted delicious!!
I made the mistake of ordering little-necks because when they arrived they were raw...literally my mistake since i ordered them off the 'on ice' section. I don't eat raw shellfish so i told the waiter it wasn't his fault and asked him to take them away. Â He said he could have them steamed if I wanted them cooked. Â Yay a waiter that actually cares! Â A few minutes later he returned with a bowl of steaming hot clams with drawn butter...they were awesome!
We finished with the best creme brulee I've ever had...it was much deeper than most and allowed for large spoonfuls of the good creamy stuff underneath!
Prices were appropriate and within reason...$200 for 4 cocktails, salad, appetizer, 2 entrees, 2 sides, 2 espressos and a dessert.
Nice decor greets your eyes, upon arrival. Â Attentive service coupled with excellently prepared dishes await you. Our part of four had both lobster and beef dishes--all perfectly prepared and presented. Â The key lime pie is the best that I have ever tasted. Â That is true of the coffee, as well. Â The $49 three-course prix-fixe meal on Sundays through Thursdays is a good deal.
Review Source:I have had the pleasure of dining at Chops Lobster House many times. The food is of the highest quality and is cooked to perfection. The caesar salad served on a chilled plate is the best I have ever had. The burger is freshly ground sirloin, juicy and delicious. I also love the tuna tartar, crab cake and flash fried lobster.  I dont love salmon However they cook  salmon just the way i like it.  Save room for dessert, the banana cream pie is to die for. My review extends to the attentive yet not intrusive service. A special Kudos to  server Ron. Thank you for your kind, attentive and  respectful service.  If you are looking for the best of the best in meat and  seafood, then this is the place for you. Time after time after time.
Review Source:Food and service are excellent here, but it's pretty pricey, so be prepared to drop some dough. I recommend the crab claws...they're large, delicious and fresh. The signature deep fried lobster tail (appetizer version cuts them into morsels, with a side of dipping sauce) is very good as well. Steaks are also great. Classic old-school steak and lobster dinner in Boca...good times.
Review Source:i'm pretty sure I am jaded by the places I have eaten throughout the years(maybe its the 20 lbs i've put on) and it takes a lot to impress me nowadays. server was friendly, it was a monday night, table of 4 , lobster morsels, flash fried pieces of lobster...tasty and not chewy. bone in filet medium rare, tender cut into like butter, sauteed spinach, corn mash( highly recommend) garlic potatoes. wine list was long but seriously jacked up prices, even compared to capital grille, no room for dessert. would I come again?sure but not on my tab.
Review Source:Really good food for good price. I chose the fried lobster. wonderful! For entrie I had eaten the bone filet. Very tender and juicy. A very good steak.
Thank you chops see you later!
Vraiment de la bonne nourriture pour un bon prix. J'avais choisi le homard frie. merveilleux! Comme plat principal, j'avais mangé le filet avec l'os. Vraiment tendre et juteux. Un très bon steak!
Merci Chops, on se voit bientôt!
Good food we did the special for $39.99 I started with the shrimp and lump crab meat appetizer was good shrimp could have been a little larger. For my entree $ 5 extra I got the lobster stuffed with crab meat very good. Dessert was average did the cheesecake and berry sampler. The best part was the bread basket 5 for that!
Review Source:Superlative, not outrageous or exaggerated.
We dined here on Saturday night. It was busy but service was superb. I had a Kansas City strip special, dry-aged for eons, beautifully prepared and tender. My wife had the extraordinary lamb chops, advertised as porterhouse lamb chops. These are loin chops, the most tender lamb cut, succulent, juicy and indescribably good.
The sides were plentiful and tasty. We adored the corn mash and the brussels sprout leaves with mushrooms.
The wine list was extensive and also quite expensive.
As good as any New York steakhouse in my opinion. A classy but somewhat noisy atmosphere without reeking of testosterone and masculinity.
The consummate experience for the steak or chop lover. I highly recommend.
Had a nice Sunday evening at Chops for some relaxing time...after getting lost on borrowed gps, and one dead cell phone, I finally found my way and met my friend at Chops. We didnt make reservations, so we asked for the bar area. Happy hour is from 5 -8. By then, I was ready for a drink. We also shared a crab cake, lobster roll and thai chilli calamarie...loved the french fries. the meal was awesome. The service was friendly. Â Can't wait to try the $49 tasting menu.
Review Source:The service here is really good and the restaurant is beautiful. The crowd varies and it is an interesting time. There are plenty of things to look at, to say the least. There is a full bar, nice wine list...the menu is good but the portions are minuscule for the price. Â Whatever you order will taste good, for the few bites it takes to eat it, but this is not a place you'll leave full unless youre ready to order a lot...It's pricey, like everywhere else in its league. It's good for what it is but I've been to many fine restaurants and this one is just not up there with my favorites. Capital Grille is much nicer, as is Ruth Chris....I even have a better time at Max's.
Review Source:Great food as usual tonight but service under par. Had to request lobster fork, plate for shells, finger bowl or hot towel after shell fish and spoon for the desert plate that included ice cream. Not offered second cup of coffee until after the bill came. Very disappointed.
Restaurant was sold out by 7:30pm on a Tuesday night. Reservations a must.
Ridiculously good food.
Our table got steaks, wiener schnitzel, tuna tartar, herbed fries, truffled potatoes, and oysters. Everything was absolutely sensational. For my meal specifically, the steak was one of the best I've ever had. I got the Porterhouse for 2 (like a sick degenerate) and bite after bite was pure bliss. That 48 days of dry aging is some serious shit. The steak was juicy, flavorful, well seasoned, perfectly seared, and cooked to a lovely medium rare as requested.
Also, the service was impeccable. They were constantly checking to see how things were, though not being too obnoxious about it. They were also very helpful with questions. For example, when someone asked about the Wagyu Kobe strip, the guy went back to the kitchen and brought out a raw one to show us how nice the cut was.
Chops is pricey, but you get a lot for the money. I've probably never had a better steak experience than here, and I've eaten at quite a few steakhouses here in NYC. What more can you say? Five stars.
I debated heavily between 4 and 5 stars as this is not an "inventive, creative" restaurant. However, in evaluating it, this is a traditional steakhouse and they are not going for the neuvo creative food, they are going for the perfect steak.
I split the porterhouse for 2 which was perfectly cooked, cut off the bone for easy splitting with just enough meat left on the bone to enjoy gnawing on the bone at the end of the meal. The veal jus was delicious and the steak was perfectly seasoned, not too much salt.
For sides, I had the onion rings, which were great, a nice breading and not overly greasy, the mac and cheese, which was extremely rich but extremely delicious and the mushrooms, which, unlike many steakhouses, were not soaking in butter but rather tasted roasted.
The oysters were fresh and well shucked. The caesar salad had a nice, light, fresh dressing with a perfect balance of anchovy and garlic.
The wine list was extensive and ran the gamut in price - it was refreshing to see a steakhouse with reasonably priced wines both by the glass and the bottle as well as top end wines without overly marked-up prices.
The service was great - for a Monday night, I was surprised that the restaurant was full yet the service did not suffer at all. The wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable, aware of the little things, such as keeping the water glasses full and filling our wine glasses, without being intrusive.
The decor is nice, dark rich woods, a traditional steakhouse feel.
Simply put, I had no complaints about the meal or the service and will surely be returning.
My 3rd time at Chops...and every time a great experience!
 Behind the Hostess station the Bar area complete with tables and a pianist and Sinatra print and make it special.
 Had a table in front of the bar.. Its Happy hour until 8pm on well Drinks and a different bar menu( I saw sliders etc).
 Â
The Drinks took forever to come at the bar area from the waiter, the Bread Basket consisted of delicious thin Parmesan cripsy thins, and pumpernickel stuffed with onions, and white bread devoured .
  Then the hostess quickly seated us in a booth in the lower dining area. One of the guys made a comment that he wouldn't fit when he sat down..I guess its snug for a steak house? Â
Appetizers: Maryland Style Lump jumbo Crab Cake in a yellow mustard beurre blanc..the yellow sauce that covered the plate..the sauce was not all eaten and the Crab cake.. Ive had better.
Shrimp cocktail, it was good but not as fresh tasting as I would desire..it had that dirty taste to it.
Some of the table had the French Onion soup au Gratin and ate it all must be great.
I told them about the warm Spinach salad Table side here..it had roasted pine nuts, mushrooms and  onions sauteed its warm and unbelievable!
Entrees were the 12oz Filet Mignon you *see in my picture was amazing has a nice char taste to it cooked perfectly...just perfection and Stone Crab Claws 1 1/2lbs Mkt price 4 pieces..came to over 32$ a Claw///very yummy and AMAZING...fresh and perfect.
Whole double Breast of Chicken Fresh Roasted filled with selected farmed mushrooms on sauteed spinach, rosemary cream sauce, Â it was tender.
Sides were Truffle Parmesan Fries..they didnt taste homemade and not that "truffley", but they were cripsy and nice parmesan sprinkled all over, and black pepper.
 The Mack and Creamy White Cheddar was really good the Mac was Fusilli like pieces and the cheese weren't  thick.
 Fresh Corn Mash was roasted corn and had a consistency of a creamed corn dish no kernels , very disappointing and was given back without a Problem.
Great Steaks...Great Place...Well Executed.
What a bizarre concept! Â 90's cover band blaring in the bar while the elegant dining room was filled with dark rich wood and tile ceilings. Â We were greeted at the door with a cool reception while at the same time, another party of 2 walking into the bar had the host turn from us to rush to shake one of their hands while the other in the same party stood with his hand outstretched that went ignored. Â We were seated with no wine list (had to request one) which we found a bit strange for a steak house.
Server was friendly, server assistants didn't look up as they were clearing our courses. Â Wine list was reasonable as were the entrees. Â We had 2, 2 lb Maine lobsters, a salad and 3 drinks for under $200. Â Server didn't check back with us when our entrees were delivered and apologized at the end of the evening stating, "Sorry I didn't check on you but it looked like you were enjoying your dinners". Â It felt like Olive Garden (or worse) service in a fine dining steak house. Â It wasn't bad, but didn't match the decor or menu. Â As we let ourselves out, a man in a Chef's coat rushed the door and said good night as he pulled the door shut. Â The host and another server were seated at a table outside the restaurant and said good night as well as we walked away from another chain restaurant we won't be going back to. Â There was obviously no managerial presence that evening. Â I haven't yet been, but the other person in my party said Jake's Stone Crab next door is much better.
This place is a Hit or Miss.
In other words, when they are on, the food is excellent and you will enjoy your meal. However, if they are having an off day, forgetabout it, you will regret visiting.
The prices are high, so I would expect a Hit on every visit, but sadly I have had two misses here.
I haven't had a meal this good in a long time.
6 of us dined with the early birds 6:30p reservation on a Saturday night and the place was fairly full - duh, it's Florida. Â By the time we left it was packed with what looked like a scene of gaudy Boca b*tches.
I had their amazing bread (filled with onions? Delish!), 8oz. filet cooked perfectly, side of peppercorn sauce, fried lobster tail, onion rings, creamed spinach, potatoes, and white chocolate banana pie...Holy food coma. I was in heaven. Â Everything was rich and delicious and done with perfection.
Highly recommend.
Valet parking was backed up 6 cars deep upon arrival. Â Our friends were already seated so did not experience any waiting or attitudes listed here. It was really loud but less so where we sat (room with the tiled ceiling ). Our waiter was very nice and proper though it was hard to hear him at times because he was so soft spoken.
Had the fried lobster tail as an appetizer which was delicious. My husband had the lobster bisque which was good as well ( not the best we have ever had like at the Capital Grille one) but still good. You can choose to not have the lobster chunks in it. Who would want that? lol
The other couple had oysters which they loved. Bread was ok, not warm. Entrees were very good: dover sole prepared table side and plate heated on a portable cooktop for you veal ravioli and steak for the guys. All excellent. Sides were the corn mash (sweet and melts in your mouth) and parm fries with truffle butter.
Had a bottle of Etude, one of our faves! You cannot go wrong with that choice -ever.
Molten lava chocolate cake with a scoop of pistachio ice cream and another of vanilla was surprisingly good!
Espressos for all to end a great night. Â Â
I would love to come back any time. We left a little after 11 and it was emptying out pretty quickly. Crowd was very mixed: people in their 30s and up to their 70s. Â People dressed to the nines. others in jeans and polos and then everything in between.
One of the best seafood restaurants I have been to in Florida.. Great ambiance.. Great service. & the food is spectacular..
I went on a Monday night and they still had a full house. This is an ideal place to celebrate special occasions. Sunday through Thursday - they have the special Chef Tasting menu that includes a 3-course meal for $49 or $42 for a 2-course (without dessert). I took my boyfriend out for his 30th Birthday and we really enjoyed every bite, from appetizers to dessert.. We both picked lobster as I figured that would be their specialty and it was beyond fresh and delicious, plated beautifully. They even brought out a candle with the dessert with a Happy Birthday sign when I briefly mentioned on the phone that it was for a Birthday..
I absolutely recommend this place  - if you want to enjoy good seafood in Florida and highly suggest reservations..
As far as steak goes, Chops is the best. Superior to Ruth Chris, Capitol Grill and Mortons. The steak is prepared at temperatures several hundred degrees higher. At first I had my doubts, but the proof was in the delicious flavor and moisture of the meat. Their seafood is also very good and the service superlative. I only rated it a four because of the value. It is $$$$$ expensive, slightly more so than its competitors, but worth it.
Review Source:I think I'm becoming spoiled, with all the great eats in Miami.
This restaurant has pretty good food, but the service was kind-of weird. Weird, you say? Well it wasn't terrible & kind of patchy. Our waiter may have been taken aback by the fact that Brent B. told him he looks like The Situation, but he'd heard it before.
This appears to be the type of steakhouse with a server, assistant server, food runner, table clearer, and crumber. At least that's what I thought, with the army of wait staff. However, I had to search out someone to refill my drink every time. Since these were not my first drinks of the day, I was probably a little more needy than the others at my table, but come on- there's a ton of you walking around out there. Plus, they mixed up my seat number, so every dish was delivered to my neighbor at the table. Not a deal breaker for me, but just weird. All of the weird service was before Grandma's meltdown about the food & The Situation dealt with that well, at least.
I had a stone crab app, split a caesar salad, and a fillet. Pretty basic steakhouse fare, but it just didn't wow me. It was good, but not great. The best part of my meal here was the cheesecake. It's been a long time New York Cheesecake, and I've missed you. Â
I have not been to the original in ATL, but I can just imagine that's since it's kept close to home, it's better.
Today was a Lobster day! Lobster roll for lunch and was still craving lobster so came for the $49 tasting menu (sun-thurs only). My mom got the filet mignon.
Starting with the pluses of our meal -- seafood chowder was good, very thick and creamy. Lobster was also solid but after growing up eating fresh lobsters in Okinawa it doesn't compare. Mixed 'shroom side was ok but pretty greasy. The dessert, however, was in a completely different league. My eyes lit up immediately when I saw the beautiful presentation of my molten chocolate souffle. Three cute raspberries adorned a broad dark chocolate streak that ended in a scoop of the MOST AMAZING pistachio ice cream ever! It was topped with a toffee crunch cookie. The pistachio ice cream... oh my god. Words fail me. I used to think raspberry sauce, vanilla ice cream, and molten chocolate cake = perfect trio, but I may have to rethink the vanilla ice cream part.
Now for the negatives :( ... service was kinda snooty, but expected of a bustling restaurant in Mizner. My biggest qualm with this place was the steak. It was without exaggeration the worst piece of filet mignon I've ever had in my life. I wasn't aware that lukewarm and charred black was their definition of 'medium'. And I usually enjoy dry-aged steaks, but this one tasted like it had been sandstorm-dried in the Saharan desert over the course of a particulary arid summer. Stick with the lobster and dessert.
Finally a place that has perfectly cooked 1 1/2 pound Maine lobsters! Â I went for dinner on a Sunday and they had a 3 course Lobster tasting menu for $49. Â What a great deal! Â My favorites of the nights were the lobster bisque with huge chunks of lobster and the chocolate souflee. Â I wasn't impressed by the side dishes, they were tiny portions and either really salty or bland. Â The look of the restaurant was cool, but I did find it to be a bit noisy. Â The clientele is a little old, but what can you expect in Boca?
Review Source:I've been to this particular Chops a number of times and have finally solidified my opinion of the place. Â You're in for good food and good service with a high enough probability of a head-scratching moment to detract from the experience. Â
Some of those head scratching incidents include:
- getting two separate decanters with food remnants in them...one is too many.
- waiting 15 minutes past our reservation to be seated in a mostly empty dining room.
- having a beautifully cooked steak arrive lukewarm.
I think this place needs to starting hiring better qualified hosts (keep the scantily clad hostesses, please) and dishwashing staff.
Oh my goodness. Those of you who know me well know that Joe's Stone Crab is my favorite restaurant. I've yet to find anything that compares to Joe's, but my dinner at Chops Lobster Bar sure came close last night!
I dined at Chops with my parents and another couple they are friendly with. The other couple appears to dine at Chops quite often (lucky them!) because everyone in the restaurant knew them, including our lovely waitress Carter. Â
Besides the top notch service (the waitress even came to look for me when I stepped out for a bit too long during a phone call!) the food was absolutely incredible! Â After the tasty bread basket (the onion bread is the way to go) we started our meal with the steamed jumbo alaska red king crab and the chops half jumbo signature lobster tail. After both of these apps this was already a 5 star restaurant in my book. For those of you fried calamari lovers out there you must try the chops half jumbo signature lobster tail, which basically tastes like fried calamari, but oh so much better because it's deep fried lobster, which has been dipped in butter. Healthy...ummm, not quite. Delicious...yes, very!
As for my main meal I ordered the jumbo stone crabs...after all, they are only in season for another 10 days! And they were so good that I want to go back and have them everyday for 9 days until they disappear on me. And the perfect side to go with the perfect stone crabs...sweet potato fries!
Dessert was just as fabulous as the rest of the meal. My mom and I enjoyed a sorbet with fresh berries that was so refreshing and the bite I had of my stepdad's banana creme pie was out of this world.
24 hours later I'm still in a stone crab food coma, which hopefully will hold me over until stone crab season starts again in October...
The pan-fried lobster tail morsels are unbelievable and a MUST have for everyone to try. Â Also, if you like a light red wine, try the PrimaVoce SuperTuscan - served by the glass. Â It is really nice, but hard to find.
Very pricey - bar can get crowded and noisy at times. Â Service is very good.
Ok-- Â if you've been to Atlanta youshould already know about the Buckhead Life Group restaurants--Chops, Panos and Pauls, Fish Market, Bluepoint, Â Pricci, etc.
Chops is one of the top 3 steakhouses in HotAtlanta and now should be the top steak house in Boca. It is a minature version that combines the Steakhouse and Lobster bar from the much larger Chops in Atlanta. The steak is better than Mortons, seasoned and seared, Â but not overly scorched like NY Prime, or sizzling in butter.
The seafood tower appetizer is fantastic and the signature dish from Panos and Pauls-- fried Lobster tail has to be sampled by the table to be believed. Â
The service is always outstanding at the Buckhead Life establishments, and the quality is worth the price--(think Mortons, NY Prime)
We dined here for a family birthday and I thought the food and service were very good. There was a fried lobster tail appettizer that my wife and I shared. The steaks are served mostly a la carte and you order the side dishes. I thought all of their dishes were prepared much differently and uniquely than other similiar steak houses. This included their hash browns, cream corn and salads.
A premier steakhouse located off SE Mizner Blvd and on the same street as Royal Palm Place. There is valet parking in the front and parking off the side streets.
A delicious selection of steak and seafood for business dinning or a special family event with your grandparents or parents since many of us have family in Palm Beach County. Â Dinner reservations are mandatory since it just opened in 2007.
