| - I visited Chop for lunch during Summerlicious with nine of my colleagues. First, let me start by saying that the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. It's great for groups, business meetings and even date nights.
I ordered a ceasar salad and a (open face) steak sandwich off the Summerlicious menu ($23). The ceasar salad was exceptional - very fresh and the right amount of garlic. The steak was very good quality but really lacked seasoning. I had to add a ton of salt and pepper and even considering asking for HP. However, the meal itself was above average.
The only issue was that eight of us all received our dishes at the same time. We waited for a good 7-10 minutes for our other two colleagues' meals to come out; meanwhile, all our food was getting cold. Finally, around the 10-minute mark, the manager came out to say that their food would be "a couple more minutes". We thought it was odd as they ordered the steak sandwich special as well. Anyway, we all started eating and another 15 minutes goes by without our colleagues' food arriving. Finally, the manager brings out three teensy weensy crab cakes (cocktail party size) for the two of them to share while they waited. We were almost finished our meals before theirs arrived and, to further add insult to injury, one of the steaks were burnt. The restaurant didn't charge them but still ...
Anyway, having said all that, I'd like to return in hopes that the mismanaged kitchen repairs itself. I would have given it four stars but the teeny weensy crab cake offering kind of put me off.
