I want to start by saying I’m grateful everyone we interacted with had a great attitude through the night. Nobody was rude or annoyed. We were the only ones there from the time of our reservation until close which was great, I hate large crowds of loud people. We made our reservation for 11pm NYE a day or two in advance on the website, so it’s not like we walked in last minute. We noticed they posted that they were closing AT 11 later on so we called to ask and said 11 was last seating and that we were 100% good for our reservation. We decided day-of (today) that 11 felt like it kept getting farther and farther so we looked at the website to move up our time but they were all greyed out, we figured they were booked up and waited. Well, right when we got there at about 10:45 we were told they were closing and asked if we could sit at the chophouse next door instead. We said that was okay, assuming we could still order from the catch menu since that’s where we made our reservation and had been excited to try… they are the same name after all despite being on opposite sides (Halls).. They told us they “might be able to get us an appetizer but couldn’t offer the whole menu.” Okay.. so we took a few minutes to flip back and forth between the chophouse menu before asking to double check. The manager walked us back to catch where we sat down and had our full meal. At that point I was kind of uncomfortable feeling like I was keeping everyone from leaving early, even though we had a reservation and called earlier in the day to confirm that time was okay. The tower appetizer was cool, made for a good photo to send to people who hadn’t been. The swordfish was great and the gravy was our favorite part. The scallop dish was good but with 4 scallops on the plate, no rice or any kind of veggie, it would not be enough without ordering something else whereas the swordfish came with asparagus and potatoes. Good thing we did order sides! The potatoes were great, I would not order the broccoli again. Chef said the first batch got burnt and didn’t bring them out with the food, then brought us out the redo which was pretty tough to cut through. Seemed rushed, understandably if we were the only ones there holding everyone up from their fun NYE off in time for fireworks. They did bring us a glass of champagne for midnight. We ordered the brownie and for $18 I was honestly expecting more than a rock hard half of a little Debbie sized brownie. Overall, it was not worth the $400 we spend on these items, and I felt uncomfortable being escorted back and forth between the two restaurants because they wanted to close early and then trying to accommodate us because we were excited to try the restaurant. Once out the front door and back through the employee walkthru.
We do love and recommend the chophouse, though! Just not catch.
