We tried Chop for the first time and found the bad reviews quite perplexing. We found the food to be quite well made and presented and the service to be quite attentive without being overbearing despite going on a busy Saturday evening. We tried the pan seared ahi tuna, which was perfectly cooked, and came with a drizzle that added a surprising little zing. I am not a tuna fan, but this was quite amazing. Our meals were both served hot, and adequately presented. The prime rib had good flavor without an overbearing rub (some places use way too much rosemary and garlic), and the lobster ravioli was quite light and delicious and not drowned in sauce. It was a pricey meal, but worth it for a locally owned restaurant within close proximity to our home. I want to add that they gave my wife her desert for free because it was her 50th birthday. If I were to make a suggestion it would be to keep the lights up a little brighter, dark is intimate, but it was a tad too dark for my tastes. Lobster ravioli could be presented a little better without much effort from the kitchen. We intend on going again.
