Went to Chop Steakhouse & Bar for birthday supper last night. We had a reservation for 630, but we finished our activities early in the city and popped over at 5 to see if they could accomodate and sure enough no problem! I will make a note that for a Wednesday night (albeit before a stat), by 630 it was absolutely PACKED. We got a bottle of wine and a couple appetizers – the tuna tataki and crab cakes. Both were fantastic!! We gobbled them up before I could take pictures.
Next up we ordered Steak Oscar ordered blue rare (not interested in turning this into a debate about how to eat steak, deal with it) upgraded with the lobster chowder as a side, and Steak and Lobster ordered medium rare with a baked potato. The steak Oscar came out PERFECT. Beautiful sear and easily looked like a solid 7 oz top sirloin. The chowder was so awesome, not too creamy and lots of lobster chunks. The steak and lobster came with 2 lobster tails (smaller) and unfortunately the steak was a tad over, closer to medium but still had some pink in the middle so my man was happy. The baked potato was massive while the steak looked smaller than the promised 7 oz so that was a bit disappointing. Overall though the flavour was spot on.
We did comment for a Steakhouse we were surprised there was no bread. That’s when I noticed the community bread on the menu, so we ordered it for $2! So heads up if you like having bread, you’ll need to order it – but it’s for a good cause 🙂
Because it was a birthday we did get a free dessert, we got the mini trio and it was perfect! Cheesecake, torte and a creme brulee.
Finally we night capped with B52s. Now we ordered the coffee version and out came 2 shots. The server knew it was a mistake but decided to ask if we wanted the shots on the house and go get our coffee. So we ended up with 2 shots and 2 coffees.
Our bill game to about $250 including the $60 bottle of wine. Not bad for a special night out! We loved the decor, particularly the top hats turned into light decor. Very cool!
