Well furnished restaurant with impeccable staff. I forgot how much of a difference an attentive server can make until I visited recently. There's free bread that comes in a sort of variety basket, and it all tasted perfect. I ordered a bone-in ribeye and was impressed that it was medium-rare throughout despite the cut of the meat being a tad uneven. No complaints about the steak. Fantastic. However, I did have a major issue with my side of mashed potatoes. They were served in a tiny dessert bowl and looked like they used a large scoop to plate them since the shape was an unnatural sphere garnished with a blanket of green onions--just an unappetizing aesthetic. The temperature was a shade below lukewarm, and they were bland and lumpy in a bad way. I love sides and always get a little sad when they don't get the same amount of attention and effort that entrees do, especially when you're dealing with something as simple and cheap as mashed potatoes. Despite the paltry portion size, I chose not to finish them so I could still revel in the flavor from the steak upon leaving. Notes for the potatoes: make sure they're fresh and hot, don't dump a cascade of green onions on them, and just add some seasoning. Otherwise, a perfect dining experience.
11 years since my first review of the Rochester Chop house and I can say that it continues to be a 5 star dining experience. I have never had a bad meal here, the food is consistently excellent. My favorite entree is the filet lobster Oscar because you doesn't want some lobster with their steak? If you are not a member of their Kruse rewards club, it is definitely worth it. You get a discount each time you dine at any of their restaurants and a free birthday meal. It pays for itself especially if you come to the chophouse for your birthday meal!
Cash will go a bit. But lovely and perfect on all Maybe not so Lunch is high bit wonderful. And perfect for Date. Even with the wife (ok you too). This is best in anything. Hope my death they hope them all
we decided to go to Rochester chophouse on kind of a whim. I have been previously for a rehearsal dinner and really enjoyed it, and we wanted to try it as just the restaurant. The first thing that you notice as soon as you're sad in, the main restaurant is the old-school chophouse vibes. Carl's ChopHouse in downtown Detroit could be swapped for this restaurant. Almost piece by piece. Very old-school vibes. But it works., Our waiter was incredibly helpful and nice. Made recommendations about the menu and what we might enjoy. We started with bacon wrapped shrimp, and moved onto our main course. I had the steak frites with chimmichurri and my husband had the rib eye with zip sauce. Both were really good. I have to give the edge to the steak frites though, for my first bite, I realize that it was one of the most tender steaks I ever had. My husband agreed, and only when the waiter came back, did he mention that it was Wagyu. I never realized what a difference that made until that moment. We did end up trading meals halfway through so he could enjoy the steak. frites. overall, the meal was excellent, my only thought is that he said had he been told that my steak was waygu, he would have ordered it as well. looking forward to returning. I've heard good things. about the fish and the lamb
Made a reservation a week ago and upon arrival we were quickly seated to a nice size both for four. Our server, Melissa was at our table almost immediately with a warm greeting and of course to take our drink orders and if we wanted any appetizers. We opted for the Calamari and Escargot both delicious and long to get it either. Dinner from a readers point was will be boring as we all ordered the same 7oz Filet with everything from zip sauce to mushrooms as add ons. Everyone loved their dinners and service was delightful, thank you Mel.
We sat in the back - fine dining section. The service was great, personable, attentive just the right amount and helpful. Very classic Chop House setting, reminded me of my childhood- in all the good ways. It's a beautiful place. Food was excellent. This was one of the few times all 10 of us ordered, basically the same thing but it was worth it! Steak Friets with the steak from Snake River Farms, and Steak Delmonico. They cooked the steak in all different ways and we all received our order perfectly. Soup- delicious Salad (house and Caesar) - delicious All the sides - delicious Dessert - delicious Great wine list. Great for group, dates, special occasions or treating yourself.
Totally recommend this restaurant for date night or even with kids too. I went with husband and son. My son was entertained with drawing on the brown paper cover that they put on the table. Classy enough, the restaurant only supplies black crayons. I thought it was so classy to keep the aesthetic of high end dining. We ordered beers and wine. The waiter was very knowledgeable of all menu items. We ordered the escargot. I found it refreshing that the bread basket had a variety of different style breads and they also serve you a medley of veggies in a vin-egret style dipping for the bread. We also tried the lobster bisque soup and the chowder. Both great choices. The main courses were delicious. We went for the steak and the shrimp risotto. We shared the main dishes and still had to take some home. So it's a good amount. There's a near by parking garage. Which is very convenient.
You're transported to a Christmas village but with exquisite food. The line for this restaurant doesn't tell how fast the service actually is. We're automatically greeted and the waiter greets you with hot bread and a bean salad (very delicious). If the food isn't good enough the lights outside will make you feel warm and cozy. A must stop for great food!
