| - It saddens me to write this review. Chop used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Both the food and the service had been topnotch. Lately that has not been the case and now I've given it several "second chances" and I'm afraid tonight was our last visit. We arrived for an early dinner, were greeted promptly and seated in a nice booth. The bar was completely empty, only a few other tables in the restaurant were occupied. We ordered drinks and wedge salads - the wine was good and the salads were good. I ordered The Chop, it is their signature dish, it should be amazing - and the first few bites were delicious. I was very happy. This is a double cut, bone-in pork chop and it was moist and very flavorful. At about bite number four I was horrified to realize that the pork was COLD in the center, not merely cool but cold as in still rare, red, and cold from the refrigerator! I made a few other cuts in the meat and the closer I got to the bone the colder the meat was! I pushed my plate to the side and waited for our server to return. He passed the table twice but never stopped to ask how our food was. A different server passing our table asked if everything was okay and I told her that the pork was very cold in the center. She apologized and took it back to the kitchen. After about 7 minutes she returned with my pork, it had been butterflied and sliced into two thinner pork chops and cooked on the grill (grill marks now on inside area of the sliced chops). I was no longer excited about the pork as it was no longer a juicy, double thick chop but two smaller chops, worst of all it was now very overcooked and dry. I took one bite, ate some of my side dish and put my fork down. (I will mention that my husband loved his bbq ribs.) During this time that I watched my husband enjoy his meal, our server still never stopped by the table - I could see him sitting at the edge the bar checking his cell phone so it was not because he was too busy with other customers. When the second server came by to pick up my husband's plate she noticed that I had not eaten the pork, she asked if I wanted a box. I said that I would like the Brussels Sprouts boxed but that I did not want the pork. She removed the plate and returned with the Brussels sprouts. No concern over the fact that I had obviously not eaten more than five bites of my large $26 pork chop. Our original server never returned, my husband ordered dessert, we got the check, paid and left. No manager ever stopped by the table to see how we liked our meal, no one ever asked if the re-cooked food was prepared properly. This is a marked departure from the level of service we have had over the past year. Unfortunately, the trend at Chop has been downward and I think it is time for us to find a new restaurant.
