This was probably the most unbelievable restaurant I have ever been too! My dinner was absolutely PERFECT. I want to drive back to Calgary just so I can go for dinner again. My steak was done perfectly and was sooo tender and juicy. I also had a side of crab and asparagus. Both of which were outstanding. I tried one of the other girls heirloom tomato salad and just about died and went to heaven it was so good. I am now committed to the perfection of my balsamic vinaigrette reduction.
The wine list was on an ipad placed on your table which I thought was super tech-savvy and really quite smart. I split a bottle of the Ehrenfelser with two others and it was just as good as I remember it. The service was impeccable, the bread was warm and I was especially impressed that the server told us how to make the delicious salad!
To finish off the evening I had a pear Creme Brûlée. IT WAS SO GOOD. It was also quite a bit larger than your average Creme Brûlée and I definitely appreciate that because it is my absolute FAVOURITE dessert.
Basically I want to give this place 6/5 stars. SO GOOD. -

Attended Chicago Chophouse for a private Christmas party. We were immediately impressed by the attentiveness of the front of house staff. As more people arrived, appetizers were circulated - a personal favourite was the Ahi Tuna Tartar, and oh yes...the panko crusted Shrimp with the chipotle sauce was quite tasty too. Unfortunately, this is where anything positive about the entire meal ends.
The meal began with a mixed green salad with a sun dried tomato viniagrette which was lacking the tanginess you expected. This was followed by a rather grainy leek and potatoe soup which was drizzled with a basil pesto oil. Pesto brings to mind a brightness and sweetness - neither was exhibited in this oil. The main meal I ordered was the Chicken Saltimbucco, a breast of chicken enrobed in proscuitto. My husband ordered the 8 oz tenderloin - a safe bet considering beef is the house speciality. Needless to say that by the time main course finally arrived, everyone at our table was famished. Every main, without exception, arrived cold - to the touch. The rose cream sauce on my chicken had dried and cracked and the risotto side was the consistency of oatmeal. Veggies? Exactly two - one florette of brocolli and one sad little carrot. Much the same on my husband's plate. My husband's tenderloin, requested rare - was blue. How dishes such as these can also end up dull and tasteless was a complete mystery. I really expected more from the Chophouse...I award one star for the service and another for the appetizers - beyond that, the experience was completely lack lustre. Sad, really. -

We visited Chicago Chophouse last night with the recent Groupon and although it was very good, it wasn't fantastically awesome. I think Vintage takes that title.
For starters, the beef cut tomato salad was fantastically awesome. I highly recommend it. We ordered oysters as well, and thought it odd that the server did not know what kind they had for the evening, although she was happy to check for us. However the only info she came back with is that they were from Village Bay. She confessed that she had not know that there were different types of oysters.
Our steak was very good, cooked as ordered and our sides were tasty. The asparagus had a great wood fire taste to it and the fully loaded new potatoes were good.
The dessert menu sounded really good, but we did not order any.
What affects the star rating mostly for me was small service oriented things that I would expect a fine dining establishment to to; i.e. know what the nightly oysters were, how they would be served, their flavour, their size, etc or when laying out the steak knives, have them pointing the right way.
All in all, it was a good meal and the ambiance was nice. -

Came here last week for the first time in 11 years.
Pretty much how I remembered it: expensive a la cart steaks.
However, if you're up for it, they are VERY GOOD steaks.
Service was great, it's a tasteful interior, and I still really enjoyed my dinner.
I had asparagus and a sweet pea risotto for my 'additional' sides. The asparagus was delicious and cooked to PERFECTION. The sweat pea risotto, I don't recommend. Try the lobster mac-and-cheese for a side instead if you want a carb.
You're looking with appetizer, two steaks and a few sides, for two people around $150 and that's without any drinks even (I had ONE drink).
It's an okay place, but I hear that Char-Cut is better. -

Would have had a 4 if it was better value. Very good steaks, of the higher quality, good service. Menu hard to read, and a bit confusing pricing is out of wack. It' s not 07 and people want better value, $125 for 3 ala cart steaks? $20 to $25 BC Wines for $60......... Seems steep...... But the steaks are great

I had an underwhelming experience at the chop house last night. My partner and I were saving it for our next special occasion. We were celebrating a birthday.
The service was underwhelming. The food was alright (the tuna tartare was fabulous - the rest was just ok). For the tab of $500 for 4 of us I expect better. In terms of ambians - Earls is better and that is saying something.
I might give it another shot but not any time soon. -

Awesome Cowboy Cut Prime Rib 14oz steak. I was visiting from the US, where we have mostly corn-fed beef. I was working with several IT gents whom we all got drinks and food and dessert. I never eat out for steaks since it's an expensive gamble to find something worthwhile. This is what company expense accounts are for! Also had the sides, mashed potatoes were nothing to write home, the lobster mac and cheese was interesting, the grilled asparagus was okay. Overpriced, but their steak was awesome.
