    I recently visited Elevations Chophouse, and it was a delightful experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with beautiful decor that perfectly complements the scenic surroundings. The menu offered a great selection of dishes, and every bite was a testament to the chef's skill. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, while the sides were equally impressive. The service was impeccable – the staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring a memorable dining experience. I’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional meal.

    They don't honor your reservation if there are people already there ahead of you who didn't make a reservation, so beware. We were told they can't turn people away just bc a table is reserved. We arrived 15 minutes prior to the reservation. We were eventually seated after the 4 parties that were ahead of us. Food was good, but beware if you make a reservation, it is only honored if they happen to have a table available.
