  • The Highs and Lows of CHOP Steakhouse. We all went to Chop Steakhouse at the Argentina location for my wife's birthday dinner. After looking at the menu we were very excited to enjoy what Chop had to offer. The first hickupp was that we had called for a reservation and asked to be seated at one of their best tables. When we arrived the server was clueless to this prior request and we ended up at one of their regular tables. Firstly we ordered cocktails. My wife had the Italian Lemonade...which had a very nice flavour, light on the alcohol but overall a decent choice. I ordered the Chop Manhattan (a staple drink that I regularly order) and honestly I was dissapointed. Firstly they neglected to add the brandy soaked cherries, not good. Next, the flamed orange peel...was not flamed. Overall it was too bitter and I was not impressed with the execution. My daughter had a virgin pinacollada which was very good...you could taste the real ingredients such as pineapple and coconut. We then ordered our starters. This is where the evening started to improve. My son ordered the Parmeson Bacon Chicken wings which were very tasty. The Blue cheese dressing was very good with big chunks of fresh blue cheese. My daughter enjoyed the Albacore Tuna which also was very delicious. My wife had the beef carpaccio and again we had another hit for the evening. I took the servers recommendation of the Smoked Chicken Tacos and I was very impressed. Full of flavour and the hot sauce to accompany was excellent. We were finally off to a winning start after the earlier stumble at the gates. Our main entrees arrived and we were ready to carry on the winning experience. Unfortunately that did not happen. We were all very underwhelmed by the "Steak" experience. I ordered the large Prime Rib...it was barely warm and very flavourless. First time that's ever happened when I ordered Prime Rib. The crispy onions on the side looked like they were thrown on as an after thought. We did like the tomato with what looked like a paresmesan breadcrumb topping...an homage to old school steak restaurants. The truffle scallop potatoes had the faintest hint of truffle...if you didn't read that it was in the dish as per the menu you certainly would not have known that it came with truffle. Both my daughter and my wife had the the Smoked Rib Eye. My wifes entree came without the fries she ordered...another mess up in the experience. Not sure how you only sear one side of the steak and not the other but they managed to accomplish that. Other than the over abundance of salt that was on the steak which is maybe their way of adding additional flavour the smokiness did come though but I can't say it made the experience any better. My son had the Chop Burger. Maybe it was the giant pickle that weighed heavily on the burger that made it look like someone had squashed it but it was not impressive to look at. As for the taste it was decent...not anything great. My son commented that the burger he had at Kelseys looked better and that the taste was comparible. After a dissapointing meal overall we had some dessert. My son chose not to have anything (I think that says it all). My daughter had the chocolate cake which was good...again not anything special. I had the Caribbean rum cake which was supposed to come drenched in Appleton Rum...I think they forgot the rum...very much like the cherries and fries...etc. Another let down for the evening. The only redeeming factor at the end of our evening was the added touch of a Birthday card that was hand written by much of the staff and delivered with a free dessert. That was well thought out...it's a pity much of everything else wasn't. I can't say that we will be going back as their are many better Steak restaurants In my mind that we can take advantage of and have an overall better dining experience.
