    What a difference a year makes. Last year a controversy over my OpenTable reservation drove me out of the restaurant. This year very accommodating and gracious. The young lady out front welcomed me and enthusiastically “marked me in” as I dined at the bar. The menu is very tight, yet innovative. I’ve never had anything like the Asian fusion steak tartare. That was a great start. My entree was the ribeye and the Chèvre Mac and cheese, which was fabulous. The service was attentive and superb in the bar area. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and look forward to a return next time in Harrisonburg.

    Always enjoy Chop House. The filet wasn’t quite up to your standard, but still acceptable. Not as tender, a bit chewy.

    My husband and I ordered the sirloin and I had to send mine back. Mine was chewy and tough so ai sent it back. It was explained to me that a sirloin was not always a tender cut but I’ve had sirloins many times at various steakhouses that were very tender. They ordered me a higher quality steak which they charged me full price for that was better . My son ordered a 16 oz rib eye and 1/4 to 1/2 of it was fatty. The wine, bread and sides were very good. The service/ our waiter was excellent. If given the choice , I would take longhorn or Texas Rhode house for the value and quality of steak over this chop house . It ales me to give a negative review but the quality for the price simply wasn’t there. We had ahi tuna for an appetizer and the tuna itself was flavorless. I had better ahi tuna at Firebirds.
