We had an absolutely awful meal at Chops yesterday. We were sat outside on the patio at 7:30pm, which was nice, and things went downhill fast from there. We ordered martinis when we were greeted by our waitress, and once they were delivered we felt we were already being rushed. I sent the waitress away so that we could at least have a sip of our cocktails before being forced to order. She promptly returned. We ordered the tuna tartare and a Caesar salad to start, and both ordered the NY Strip, rare, as a main course. The appetizers came almost instantly. Red flag. The tuna was covered in avocado paste and tasted fishy, the salad had clearly also been previously prepared and had been sitting in a refrigerator. Soggy and tasteless. Here's where the fun really started- we were not even half way through our disappointing apps when the steaks arrived! I commented about how quickly they came out and the response was "yeah, they're fast tonight". Ok? We both cut into our steaks and they were cooked medium. Mind you we ordered rare, and both worked in food service for a number of years and never send back food. This was bad, so when the waitress came back over to see how everything came out, we showed her the steaks and she promptly apologized and said they'd replace them. When the replacements arrived, they were raw, not rare but uncooked. At this point, we were done and had lost our appetite. $300 later, we left hungry and extremely disappointed. For a steakhouse to get temperature wrong, not once but twice, is inexcusable. I've had better meat at Outback. Our waitress was nice, not her fault, but Chops was terrible start to finish. I will never return.
