Chop House High Point is an elegant restaurant that sets a sophisticated tone from the moment you walk in. I visited with a craving for lamb chops, but my experience turned out to be a mix of highs and lows.
The service was average. Despite there being only one other table of patrons in the restaurant, we waited approximately 50 minutes for our food. While the presentation of the dishes was visually appealing, the flavors often fell short.
The lamb chops were tender but lacked seasoning, with mint being the only noticeable flavor in the sauce. The fried onion rings appetizer was uninspired and unseasoned, though the loaded potatoes were a standout, packed with delicious flavor.
The spiced apple chutney was another highlight, beautifully complementing the pork loin chop. However, without the chutney, the pork chop itself felt bland and under-seasoned. The salad was fresh and generously portioned, but the New York strip steak was unseasoned, slightly chewy, and underwhelming.
The sautéed spinach lacked flavor, while the potatoes once again impressed with their consistent seasoning and taste. The lump crab dip was a delightful appetizer—creamy, cheesy, and satisfying.
The total cost of the meal came to approximately $230 including tip, which felt steep given the uneven quality of the food and the slow service. While the ambiance is undeniably refined and inviting, the overall experience left me uncertain about returning. A more consistent execution in both flavor and service would be necessary to justify another visit at this...
Read moreOur server was Danielle. She was new, so there were a couple of hiccups, but overall, I would enjoy being served by her again. She was charming, efficient, and accommodating. We enjoyed being served by her!!!
Our food was outstanding; from the baked Brie appetizer, the Old Fashion cocktails, to our main courses of Short Ribs and Pork Chop; everything was AMAZING.
*Edit: MY food was outstanding. My husband point out that 1. His Asparagus was stringy and 2. Our Old Fashions had unstirred sugar at the bottom (I forgot because my food was delicious).
Atmosphere: The restaurant was nice inside. What set us off (negatively) was the music! Music is integral to a dining experience; but it should not stand out at a place like The Chop House. We heard God Bless The USA and other obvious country tunes, loudly. It’s the same music genre we heard every day we worked at the Rockers’ ballpark. When out to dinner, if it’s not a BBQ joint, the music should be integral, but in the background. We did not like it. I am a veteran, I am patriotic, but I did not want to hear country music, and Lee Greenwood, while out to dinner here, paying the prices we paid here! I would expect that at a BBQ restaurant, not here. We could hardly stand it! Just being honest. Not impressed.
So if music isn’t important to you, and you want a very nice dining experience, go to The Chop House and ask to be served by Danielle! As much as I appreciated her service style; I can’t imagine...
Read moreThis was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in a while. We were seated right away, but I assume we were sat at a table without a server. 20 minutes go by before a server ever came to our table, and that was after I had to ask a host. The server was friendly-ish in the beginning, but he was slow and inattentive to our table and made some sarcastic comments. We ordered cheeseburgers, and one of them came out completely wrong. When we nicely pointed this out, the waiter muttered something about “do you want me to get fired or do you want me to take it off?” So we asked him to just take it off. At this point, the slow service was getting annoying, so we just wanted to leave. We thought he was taking that item off the bill, but he instead returned five minutes later with the same plate of food, just with parts of it taken off. Both meals were dissatisfying, and definitely not good enough for their prices. When we finally got the check (had to ask for it), it took another 20 minutes to finish paying. We chose this restaurant based on good reviews, hoping to have a nice “fancier” dinner experience. I can understand slow service on a busy night, but this was not a busy night at all. It was a very disappointing experience, especially at the cost of the food. The manager did ask at one point how everything was, to which we said “it’s just ok.” His reply - “awesome thanks!” We will not be going back. Better service at...
