Chops Lobster Bar

We had a lovely experience at Chops Lobster Bar, especially sitting at an outdoor table, which made for a great atmosphere. The tuna tartare was very fresh and well prepared. We also ordered the scallops and the Chilean sea bass—both were delicious and cooked nicely, though they leaned a bit on the salty side and could benefit from lighter seasoning. The key lime pie was fine, but not particularly memorable. Service throughout the meal was friendly and attentive. Overall, a very enjoyable dinner with great food and ambiance, just a few small tweaks away from perfection.

Saturday night dinner. Arrived at 8 and seated immediately. We were seated in the back room with a partial view of the kitchen. That was perfect for us because the music in the bar was horrid and singing off key and generally loud. Great menu. Our waiter was clearly a novice, but he was so so attentive. The chef prepared our Dover sole and triple lamb chops to perfection. Our tableside fillet of the fish was a nice show as was the quick saute right afterwards. Since our meal took over 40 minutes to be served, they proved a complimentary dessert. Three managers came by to check on us after our meal was served. Overall, a pleasant evening with a satisfying meal. The spinach was to die for. The molten lava cake.. perfect.

Amazing experience for my group of five! Brandon was our server and truly elevated the dining experience! Kind, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. His table service was flawless and made the evening memorable. The only drawback was with management. We noticed the manager making rounds to check in on tables, but he skipped ours. He did stop at the table in front of us, who were regulars, where we overheard a snarky remark implying that our group needed special attention because we were young and that he was concerned about us paying. That left a sour note in an otherwise wonderful evening. Aside from that, the food was outstanding, the service was exceptional, and the staff overall was fantastic! 10/10

Came here for a birthday dinner, got a little of everything! Shellfish tower was amazing, points plus for the presentation. Oysters were delicious! Bone-in filet was out of this world and was my favorite dish! The service was outstanding! Will recommend! Ambiance is relaxed vibe with live music. High prices but worth it!

We weren’t very hungry, so we ordered cocktails and appetizers. The portions were quite small and the prices were high. The cocktails were good, the calamari and octopus were also nice, but the tuna was disappointing especially since the guacamole sauce tasted store-bought and almost spoiled. The shrimp also tasted off and made us feel unwell afterward. If I go back, I’d try the meat dishes instead of the seafood. The atmosphere was very nice, and the crowd was classy. It could be a good spot for special occasions. Also we ordered a well-done steak for my daughter, but it first came rare. We sent it back to be cooked more, yet it was still undercooked and bloody. We didn’t send it back a third time, but it would have been much better if they had paid more attention to this.

I sat at the bar and had an espresso martini along with the creamy curly mac & smoked Gouda from the sides menu. Everything was delicious, and the bartenders, Daniel and Olivia, were fantastic — super friendly and attentive. The live music was really good and added a great vibe to the night. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere overall!

My first experience at Chops and I was thoroughly impressed. Table of 4 on a Saturday evening sat inside near the bar area and the live entertainment which was so much fun as we sang the night away. The service team were superb - great menu knowledge, comfortable, always available and smiling. The food was outstanding, especially the Ahi Tuna which was delicious - and definitely try and save some room for dessert if you can!

This was the best service we have ever had. Me and my Boyfriend decided to celebrate our anniversary here. It was our first time and The service was amazing. I cannot exaggerate from our server to another server to the chef to the manager they all ensured that we were taken care of and enjoyed our meal. OUR SERVER BRANDON !!!!! He was a phenomenal server all around. He was very patient, informative, and gave us many recommendations and passionately described the items on the menu. I work in foodservice so experiencing a server who is passionate about what he does was very rare to me. WHEN you go you must request Brandon he was an amazing server ! Now the food !!!! I cannot exaggerate enough this was the best steak we have ever had the A5 Wagyu was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The Chefs hands are anointed by God himself. I recommend the steak medium however the SIGNATURE LOBSTER, give me 14 of em it was exquisite. The drinks were amazing not over bearing at all. To top it off they gave us 2 desserts on the house for our anniversary. They genuinely care about your experience. Truly God bless the people at this location they were all so very sweet from the host to the busser. Overall 100000000/10. Broke my scale.

JOSH welcomed us at the front door with a holiday greeting as any manager would do. TANYA ran a great bar with exceptional food and professional service. The crab cake was all crab , no breading and the fresh fish was served over mashed potatoes. The background was a dynamic duo singing classic tunes enjoyed by all guests, all ages. Great way to end a perfect holiday celebration. SUPPORT LOCAL

Great experience. We sat at the bar and shared the South African lobster bites, grilled octopus and Caesar salad. Delicious !! My date had the Dover Sole and I had the petit filet and jumbo asparagus. Will definitely be back.

Chops Lobster Bar - A Culinary Gem Worth Every Penny While Chops may be a bit of a splurge for the average diner, the experience and cuisine are undeniably worth it. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I can say the adventure of exploring an exquisite, thoughtfully crafted menu is part of what makes dining out so exciting -- and this place delivered on every level. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was refined yet inviting. The staff was impressively attentive, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. Not being entirely familiar with the menu didn't matter -- our server (whose name I, unfortunately, didn't catch) was incredibly knowledgeable and offered spot-on recommendations that truly enhanced the meal. The cocktail specials were expertly crafted and refreshing. Appetizers like the fried lobster tail morsels and the Maryland-style jumbo lump crab cake were nothing short of phenomenal -- quite possibly the best I've ever had. For entrées, the Chilean sea bass Hong Kong-style with sesame soy broth, sautéed spinach, and jasmine rice was absolutely divine. The stuffed 2lb lobster was rich and flavorful, and the lobster mac and cheese was comfort food on a gourmet level. We capped the meal off with a slice of decadent cheesecake that was the perfect sweet finish. This isn't the spot for a quick, inexpensive bite -- but if you're in search of exceptional food, elegant ambiance, and service that goes above and beyond, Chops Lobster Bar is an unforgettable fine dining destination.

Chops is my local 'when I feel like a fine dining experience, good food, and close to home' place to go. I haven't always been satisfied, but this time, totally. We kept out simple. Choosing the two part menu @$58, I chose the crab and shrimp cocktail to start. Succulent shrimp, amazing lump crab, a little shy on the Horseradish, but it was easily cured. Service, BTW, was outstanding. That's where Chops almost always shines. For our main course, I chose the scallops, perfectly seared and served on mashed potatoes with capers and tomatoes. The capers added a unique level of flavor I hadn't expected. Quite delicious! My partner had the Farro salmon, served eloquently on a bed of greens in a delicate sauce. We added the garlic broccolini and the corn mash, winning accompaniments to the mains. We wound up making friends with the people at the next table, putting a wonderful end to a great meal.

Every single dish we ordered was overloaded with salt from the lobster bisque to the lobster tails, dover sole and the snails. Inferior quality stale ingredients covered up with salt. I was with my elderly parents. It should have been common sense for a high end restaurant not to overdo the salt. Made us all so sick and pukey, stomach ache the next day. This felt very deliberate and targeted. Shame on you people for doing this during Christmas.

I booked a dinner reservation at this restaurant for my husband's birthday tonight and I am so glad I did. It was an excellent experience. Every member of the team wished him a happy birthday. The restaurant is beautiful and has a very nice ambiance. The menu offers a two course and three course dinner option with many choices. There are also several separate seafood entrees, steaks, and lobster choices. I went with the three course dinner and started with the calamari. It was delicious. For my entree I had the Chilean Sea Bass Hong Kong style. It also came with spinach and jasmine rice. All three items tasted great. My husband went with the lobster tail appetizer and loved it. He also had the bone-in filet and said it was great. For dessert we had the creme Brule and the chocolate soufle cake. They both tasted fabulous. A wonderful experience all the way around. Service was great and professional.

The food is very mid. Can use a little more flavor., the price point was pretty good. The waiter was very nice and attentive. Atmosphere is nice for date night very elegant restaurant.

This was by far the best fine dining experience I've ever had! The staff is very friendly & I can't wait until I can return!!!

It's appropriate to post an updated review to my earlier one which pointed out various concerns. This one will focus on the outstanding service provided by MIA and the incredibly well prepared meal - score to the chefs! Our dinner earlier this month was one of Chop's $69 three course specials. Not smaller sized portions. Just fewer choices but all prepared exceedingly well. Starting with chopped salad and a Caesar salad, we were each impressed. The croutons and anchovies on the Caesar salad and its dressing were outstanding. My husband had the salmon Oskar, delicious. Light. Fluffy. Tasty. And the crab meat placed on top was freshly cooked. And he enjoyed each piece. I had the Chilean Sea Bass Hong Kong style. The broth was tasty. And the sea bass was light. I could have eaten two servings. My eye caught the asparagus on the menu and I ordered it even though MIA advised me it was $13 a portion. The Hollandaise sauce was not heavy. It played a song on my tongue. Just delish. Of course I forgot to mention that we started with extra dry martinis at $15.75. Shaken to perfection. Chilled with ice slivers as requested. And the martini glass was full. Not 2/3 full. We did not stuff ourselves with the delicious desserts that we took home. We waited until the next day to treat ourselves. The key lime pie was on point. And the New York style cheesecake with fresh strawberries was like velvet in our tongues. Too many expletives here? Think I'm exaggerating? Nope. I'm not that type. And allow me to return to MIA as I end this review. She was informative. Intelligent. Not intrusive but clearly spoiled us with her attentive demeanor . If every server at Chops were like her the Resturant would be overfilled every night. And while it gets busy in season, it's not crazy crazy. Make reservations, though. We will be back. As long as MIA is working rhat night. (Oh the manager stopped at our table to ask if all was going well)

Got food poisoning on 11/22 after eating at the Boca Raton location. Reported it to management. The restaurant has not responded despite promising to do so. There are other comparable restaurants where you won't get food poisoning. Other than that, a great experience.

Old faithful and always delicious. I love sitting outdoors when we go here you get to eat and people watch

From the moment we arrived to the time we left, nothing disappointed. Great service from Becky, pleasant, dedicated, friendly, just the right pace. Started off with Caesar salad which was surprisingly delicious. Fine chopped lettuce, many tiny croutons, fresh Parmesan cheese with the right balance of dressing. It's really the details that made it much better than most Caesars. This is the place for a great ribeye. It's not wagyu but that wasn't the price point we were going for. At $79 for the regular ribeye and $115 for the Australian was typical for a h end experience. They were cooked to the perfect medium. Finished it off with a delicious creme brulee with fresh berries that did not disappoint. Probably one of the best I've had as well. Rarely do I ever give 5 stars but they really delivered a fantastic experience. I would have liked to seen a snake river ribeye or similar with a BMS near 10 or 11, to fit in between the prime and A5 wagyu. The Australian was very good but a 10 or 11 BMS would have taken it over the top. Not a complaint, only a suggestion. I debated between Ruth's Chris and here as they both had a table available. I'm glad I chose Chops!

Food was excellent. Enjoyed my scallops and lobster bisque. Key lime pie was tasty . Service spotty for restaurant of this caliber . Loved the vaulted ceiling.

At the last minute a friend of mine suggested we go out for dinner last night ( Friday). He chose Chops in Boca. I haven't dined there in a long time, as I felt from becoming one of my favorite restaurants in town it had slipped and in my opinion was just OK. There is valet parking which was very busy yet very efficient. Our reservation was honored immediately, and we were seated within minutes. . Chops is still a great looking restaurant. We ordered drinks, received them right away, ordered dinner which again was on our table in just the right amount of time and we felt good about our selection restaurants. Chops caters to an upscale crowd who like good dining. Last night in my opinion they rose from ashes ( 5 years ago) to a really good restaurant. Chopped salad, NY Strip steak, spinach and potatoes as our sides, and a really nice evening was had, which delights me. It's a busy place with a great vibe. Bravo Chops!

Went on New Year's Eve eve.... Packed but the service did not suffer .... Amazing staff ...food of course was amazing .... Rib eye steak and filet mignon.... Beautiful Christmas decor !

BEWARE: This restaurant has signs on all their tables (see attached photo) that asks you to pay by using the QR code &, when we did, there was a $5 service fee. When we spoke to the manager about it he said he would take it off & he was aware of the service fee from another customer. We just checked our credit card today (2 days later) & the $5 was not refunded. Why is there a service fee to pay by cc? That should be illegal!!!

We were taken to our table when we walked in. We did have a reservation. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with comfortable tables spaced nicely. No table is too close to another. Waiter came to take our drink orders and brought a basket of delicious bread and rolls. We were able to take advantage of their $30 per couple coupon. The prices are high but the coupon really makes it affordable for a top notch, classy restaurant. The food was best I've had since moving to S Florida 5 years ago. Service was impeccable. Owner or manager came to our table to see to it that everything was going right. Steak, salmon, lobster tails and scallops were all delicious and beautifully served. Lobster bisque and salads were fabulous. Two of us took advantage of their 2 course prix fix dinner for $57. There were many choices. We can't wait to go back! Note: coupon not valid on Saturday and is only for dinner.

The food is very good, we had the escargot, the beef tartar, lobster from Nova Scotia, filet mignon w/ truffle butter, a couple of sides and creme brûlée for dessert. Everything was very good, albeit pricey but every restaurant is expensive these days. Service was 5/5 and the actual restaurant is very classy and clean. Would definitely recommend coming here, just don't be shocked by the prices.

Located in Boca Raton, this upscale restaurant is great for celebrating a special occasion. We each enjoyed three course meals which had better value than ordering a la carte. We selected the Half Crab and Half Shrimp Appetizer which was great. I had Surf and Turf and my husband chose Tuna. For dessert I had a Chocolate Toffee Cake and my husband got a huge piece of cheesecake. We will return again to try other menu items, All in all it was an enjoyable evening.

The restaurant itself was ill-prepared for evening crowd outdoors. Space-heaters were either not working to full capacity or they were having to change out gas tanks during meals. We noticed immediately that no one on the staff was smiling at all. After we ordered our drinks, it took over 1/2 to get them and one of them was in a noticeably dirty glass with remnants of lemon on the rim. This was a coffee drink. It took 15 more minutes to get another one. That came about the same time as our bread that we were told they were going to bring in the very beginning. The butter served with it was not fresh and had a bit of a sour taste. We gave up on flagging our waiter to get it replaced and just ate the bread dry. I should also point out that during all this, there was almost no attention to our empty glasses of water that needed refilling. The appetizer finally came and it was fine. My wife even made a comment that maybe not all is lost. But no such luck. After a wait, a bit longer than it should have been, they finally brought our food out. The main courses were not up to expectation and did not live up to a taste one would expect at a dining establishment of this stature. The side dish of mashed potatoes was even more disappointing as it was already covered with slight crust from having sat out for a while. As come to find out it seems that neither fish course we had may have been fresh enough to serve as my wife and I, both have been up all night and a better part of the morning nauseous and having to make frequent visits to the toilet, with upset stomachs. We are very disappointed in the service, the food, and the overall experience. Maybe they should review their management practices as happy employees would not ever let anything like this happen on all levels. The staff was noticeably not happy and it showed in the restaurant's performance. I would definitely NOT RECOMMEND visits this location and do not expect to go back.

Can't beat an established staple of Boca Raton. Two and three courses specials can't be better but of course it's the food that really counts and Chops never disappoints. Well done Chops !!

Fun spot. Went after dinner and sat at the bar for a glass of wine and crème brûlée. Listening to the live music is always a treat... and dancing. Who doesn't want to dance? Bartenders were great.

Just moved to the south FL area, Chops was highly recommended on the internet and we had to see for ourselves. It was by far a 10/10 experience. The environment was so comforting and welcoming. We were greeted by my last name, sat at a perfect table, and had the best waitress, Mia. She gave great recommendations for the food, the lobster bisque was fantastic and so was the salmon. Highly highly highly recommend!!

We love Chops. The service is the very best and the food is incredible. They have a fantastic happy hour menu in their handsome bar. Definitely check it out.

Ok...so if you read any of my reviews...and btw...I can't believe anyone does! Anyway...I am a bit of a sucker for consistency. Chops is along the lines of a chain. Albeit a high-end chain. Anyway...it's amazing. Ask for Brian he is highly informative and very aware of what to order. Go for the order that is recommended by Brian or your server of the night. Enjoy.

Food was top notch....service was outstanding.....ambiance perfect. If you go here you absolutely need reservations. ......parking is difficult, but garages nearby. We will be bringing friends here.

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.

All I can say is wow. Went for a special occasion with my wife and man were we pleased with the experience. I could honestly write a 3 page review about all the things we loved - from the high end vibes to the service to the atmosphere and of course the food. Instead of being that verbose O will try to succinctly sun up the experience: The decor is stunning. Especially in the dining room with a rounded tile ceiling. A bar area with live music is also available. The service was fantastic and we loved our waitress Mia. She was super attentive, funny, and guided us throughout the evening from our menu choices to our celebration of the special occasion. The food was top notch and pics don't do it justice. I enjoy an app of lightly fried lobster tail - holy moly. My wife love her escargot. For dinner we bought enjoyed bone-in prime grade steaks cooked medium rare. We opted to have the filet and the by strip both served on hot plates so they would continue to cook just a bit after served. We also added the truffle steak butter for our steaks (on the side). The char was fantastic and you can request your char preference from very little all the way to Pittsburgh char. Sides were amazing including Yukon mashed, mushrooms as well as onion rings Desert was very good as well. A truly great evening! Reservations are a must as it's a very popular place in downtown Boca. Parking was valet..

First of all, the restaurant is very nice. We'll designed and comfortable. We went for happy hour and sat at the bar. The Crabcake is WORLD CLASS and easily the best we have ever had. It is on the happy hour menu and is as large as my fist has very good quality lump Crab meat. It is worth going just for the crabcake. However be careful if you order any meat. Medium rare to the cooks is RAW and COLD on the inside, not pink. If you don't want raw meat, order it Medium Well. Service is ok and could be more attentive. Go for the crabcake!!

What you would expect in an upscale restaurant regarding ambience, service, and food. No photos, but the Black Diamond Bone-in Ribeye may have been the best steak I've eaten. It was cooked perfectly medium rare with a charred finish...just the right amount of melt in your mouth fatty goodness...unctuous makes most people happy.

I must say I haven't been to this restaurant in a very long time. I've been doing all the other new steakhouses so this Saturday night we decided to give it a try. I was very happy that we did. I had a tuna which was made just the way I liked it. We also had that chop salad, which was delicious. We had the crabcakes which I must say since I'm from Marilyn that they were good very good. We had some kind of cream corn that was very interesting and Unique complementary bread and butter was delivered to the table Waitress Mary I must say she was a very good server. She was professional. She was informative and she was very helpful. Valet parking is a plus the only thing I made me a little negative was it was a birthday. They said happy birthday and they didn't bring any complementary birthdaycookie or anything which I thought was interesting because all the other steak restaurants do!!! I will return sooner than I waited this long for they do have a summer special. I just noticed it check that out.

We went here - 4 of us. We had a reservation for 9:30 outside- we weren't seated till 10:00 pm. We had a nice table. We ordered drinks- loved my moscow mule! However, my friend ordered a martini very very cold and he had to send it back. And then we all had caesar salads which were delicious with anchovies. I ordered grouper which was delicious and there were also a steak and a veal chop ordered. Sadly the steak was as raw as could be and had to be sent back as well. I think for a very nice place they could have done a little better with the food and the service. I loved sitting outside so that was nice. It had been raining and fortunately they have covering. The inside has a beautiful feeling - dark wood. sand ai love all the pictures that line the hallway near the ladies room! It might be awhile before I return as I was not totally happy.

First time here at the Boca Raton location. The food was excellent from start to finish. My wife had the complete dinner option. Had the lobster bisque, salmon and cheesecake. The bisque was outstanding and served with chunks of lobster. Salmon with a crab and hollandaise sauce. The cheesecake a large piece with strawberries. I had the wedge salad, 16oz boneless strip steak and a1# baked potato! All cooked perfectly. Our server was Becky. She did a great job and we enjoyed the conversation. In fact so much that we requested her when making another reservation. Not to be missed in Boca!

Out for my birthday tonight. Food is amazing. Ambience is great. We will definitely return in the near future. If you have not yet visited chops lobster bar, you're missing a real treat.

Beautiful location and interiors The food is absolutely mediocre The only good thing were the bread rolls Octopus supposed to be grilled but was sort of just steamed and soggy floating in olive oil and mushy watery liquid Tuna tartare tasted rancid and had some white weird goo holding it together Yikes

My old review was a solid no. But wow!!! From the atmosphere, the bar, the live music the food! Once again back on my favorites list! Stone crab, crab cake and filet all were the best I've had in a long time. Looks like these guys are back on track after Covid!

Very classy, high-end atmosphere. Solid service. We sampled a wide variety of menu items. Our first item was the lump crab cocktail, which was good but very small - they give you BOWLS of two sauces for about 5 total bites of crab. The NY Strip was good, but not a standout relative to some of the competition elsewhere. The lobster was solid as expected. This was a fine experience overall, just seemed a tad underwhelming when priced similar to other high-end restaurants.

The Music is so Ridiculously Loud that you can't enjoy your dinner. We have been going to Chops for over 10 years and it's always been a favorite of ours, we love to sit in the large bar area and love the servers there. But now they have hired musicians who think they are in a night club instead of a fine dining restaurant.

The food was good, nothing to write home about. The service started off great and made a turn for the worst. What absolutely ruined and eventually made this experience horrible was the management. So dinner started off with my wife and I sharing a salad with warm nuts and mushrooms, very good and the best thing we had all night . We had the ribeye for dinner, which was just ok and a bit salty, I can make a much better one at home. The dessert menu came around and I saw the James Beard award winning banana cream pie. Whatever we were served was absolutely horrible. It was whipped cream ms bananas with white chocolate shaved over it, that's it, no flavor at all. We ended up sending the dessert back and the waitress said she would take it off our bill since we didn't like it and barely touched it. We weren't thrilled with the food but didn't say anything because we were with a group. We paid the bill and headed over to the valet. As we are waiting for our car with the group our waitress runs over to our entire group and tells us that the manager sent her over to collect the $12 balance that was still on the bill, this was the dessert that she was supposed to remove. Enough about the absolute embarrassment, now we had to explain to her several times what the balance was. Our bill was over $180 and the tables bill was way over $400 , management sent her after us for the $12 dessert that was supposed to have already been removed but wasn't . The entire group was mortified and upset. When I got home I immediately called the manager to let him know why we were chased down and embarrassed and what could be done to resolve this issue. He blamed the waitresses and claimed a manager didn't send her, I seriously doubt that was true. He also claimed that was the first time he had heard of this situation, I told him this has never happened to me before. He said he would see what he could do, took my name and number, and stated that he will call me back. It has been several days and still nothing but crickets. This is one of the worst experiences I had ever had. I go out to new places all the time and have seen some crazy stuff, this is definitely up there.

Despite its many issues Chops ranks amongst our favorite steakhouses in South Florida. Sure they lost some great servers, a classy old school Maitre D' in Monroe, and an excellent lady manager that was replaced by Mo who runs around pretending to be busy asks you a quick question and before you answer it has already left (amongst many other issues with him) but nevertheless if you discount their multiple run-ins with State Health Inspectors which resulted in more than one closure (check on Boca News Now) their food remains very good. Pre-Covid their menu was much more expansive but they have since paired it back. And aside of a good steak, there are several other items to make a great and classy high end steakhouse. One is service and then - a variety of appetizers (and well beyond those from the sea), portion size - yes when you go to a steakhouse you expect big portions, many varieties of side dishes, a big wine menu including quality choices by the glass, and great desserts. So let's review each here: Service can be good here and it can also be mediocre. Our last time it was very good - particularly when I commented to the server that their appetizers are only from the sea or a limited amount of salads. She quickly went into sales mode and said what else would you like? and when I said humm maybe burrata and tomato's she immediately said let me see if I can do that for you (and she did). By the way the burrata with arrugula was excellent! Now for the steaks: I love their bone in filet mignon which is a paltry 12 ounces. I've had some very tiny cuts here but unlike some other steak houses that give you several ounces of bone at least here on my last experience you get a tiny bone with more meat. As usual this was excellent. Their sides - our family loves sides and Chops has historically had a lot of variety - kudos to them. However since Covid they have removed some including their foot long carrot as an example. And if I recall they also eliminated some potato preparations - which for us - we order many different types so a little disappointing. On another note after Covid they removed their larger size serving so they have one serving size - enough for a baby. Their desserts remain great. But one disappointment is their weak selection of wines by the glass - they need to ditch what they offer and do better homework on similar priced but better wines! All in all there is much room for improvement and they will be facing some heat when Gallagher's and Meat Market open so hopefully they up their game but they do have the lock on an East Boca Raton location.

We had dinner at Chops last weekend. Chops is one of our favorite restaurants in the area however, the previous experience felt rushed and the food was not up to their usual standard. We were optimistic about returning and Chops came out swinging! The quality and state of the food was incredible! The octopus was the most tender that we've ever enjoyed. Both of our steaks were cooked to perfection. (Something that is rare in this area.) And lastly, our server Gary was such a delight. He was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Gary was always smiling and very personable without feeling like he was trying too hard. Hands down the best service experience we're ever had at Chops in the 9 years we have been dining there. We'll be sure to ask for Gary on our visits moving forward.

I'll start off by saying the atmosphere was great, it has a very lively yet classy old school new York dining establishment vibe. The service was also very good. The reason why Chops gets a two from me is the questionable quality of the food being served. The steaks our party received were low quality cuts of meat. Both filets had giant veins running through it leaving about 1/3rd of it inedible, the ribeye was extremely thin which is not what I expected to get paying $70+ for a bone in ribeye, and the textures of the meats simply gave the impression that they were of low quality, not prime cuts... Chops Certainly needs to hire a better meat purveyor. Now the reason why I'm up writing this review at 3 am is I seem to have gotten a case of food poisoning from the meal. We did order a few seafood appetizers for the table though they smelled and tasted fine so I will assume it must have been the lobster bisque that did me in. Overall I wanted to like Chops because it does have a great atmosphere but for this price point the food was lackluster, there are plenty of better options nearby.

If your looking for a great experience this is the place to be! The service was amazing 10/10! With our waiter giving us food recommendations, attentive to pouring us more wine and water & food coming out in a reasonable time. The Mac and cheese was amazing! And the fried lobster with steak was very good as well! perfectly seasoned and cooked. You get what you pay for - the resteraunt is on the pricey side however, worth it! Best steak and lobster I have had ever! The oysters were very good as well! I will be returning :)

Stopped in for a drink at the bar. When it was time to pay I was told they don't accept cash. Will not return to a place that doesn't accept our country's legal currency.

So disappointed. Long wait for two porterhouses only to have to send back because they were rare. Got back fatty tough steaks. Received a cold coffee at the end of the meal. Very overrated ! No bargain!

It's has flies and is dirty in kitchen. And was Closed by health department . Gross . Don't eat here unless your a lizard . You will have a side of flies with your steak .

I can't express how Extremely disappointed I am with my experience here on Thursday night. I got to the restaurant a little early so I got a glass of wine at the bar. Bartenders are absolutely great and I love their super Tuscan. It all went downhill from the moment we sat down at our table. Our server was very nice and took a bunch of photos for us (celebrating a bday) but it took 30+ minutes before he took our orders. We were a table of 5 with only 2 sets of silverware, we must have asked for silverware 3 times before it was brought out to us. By the time we got our food, 2 main dishes came out extremely undercooked and all 4 side dishes were cold I was surprised because they weren't even busy and I've always had a great experience here before.. I have to say this was definitely the worst experience I've ever had here. Typically I'd give them less stars, but every other time I have been here everything was delicious and service was always great.
