Quality/Quantity -
Chop House Cioppino $70 - Wow, I mean WOW! One of the best cioppinos I have had in my life! And I am lucky enough to have had a few. Generous seafood; a whole lobster tail which must have been at least 7-8 oz. The menu did not share it as a whole lobster tail, what a pleasant surprise. Cream red sauce, which is different from my usual cioppinos. I was surprised I was able to finish all this; it was that good.
Special, Lobster Ravioli with 7oz Lobster Tail $90 - Good, again a generous tail. My buddy also said he was able to taste the lobster in the raviolis.
Dessert Dillinger's Cannolis $13 - My buddy really liked this. I took a very small bite as my cioppino was very filling. Crispy shell, good filling, etc.
And plenty of wine... $14 a glass.
Atmosphere - Cool. Speakeasy.
You enter a 7 x 7 enclosed room, and then are given a hard time before going in.
You get asked for a password, etc.
My buddy followed the family in front of us, trying to be slick and boy did he get ripped. I enjoyed every minute of it, LOL.
Once you get in, the bathrooms are straight ahead of the interior entrance behind the bead curtain.
Then you go through a very long row/hall of tables with the bar to your right, and semi private room to your left.
Lastly, the stage was surrounded by tables, booths, etc.
We got seated right in front of the entertainment. Way to close for my liking... See up close picture of today's amazing entertainer. We asked to move, and then got the best table! Perfect center locations. Not too close, but not too far and it was better lit for me as an old blind person, LOL.
Open 7 days a week from 4pm to 10pm or 11pm.
Service - 4 stars. My favorite part was watching everyone trying to get into the speakeasy and I was glad I was not a part of the joke. The wait staff was good, etc.
Price - $241 + generous tip. Expensive but worth it! Actually, I think it is inexpensive for what we got!
Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1964?!?! How is it that I have not heard about you...? Oh, that's right, you are a speakeasy, LOL. If you followed my February trip, we also went on a speakeasy run/kick. :) Lastly, congrats on all your other businesses.
