An intimate setting where expectations were exceeded with an interesting menu highlighted by stellar service and excellent food, prepared well. The portions were perfect, the flavors not overbearing and the ambiance was perfect for a delicious meal served at a relaxing pace. Next time, we’ll try something from the dessert menu.

Everything was delicious, from the specialty cocktails and baked chevre appetizer to our filets and duck fat fries (plus the deconstructed cheesecake to share)! Plus, our service was fantastic! They made our anniversary dinner extra special. We will definitely be back!

Great location and atmosphere! The food is amazing! We started with the Steak TarTare, my husband had the Elk Meatloaf and I had the Faroe Island Salmon with the Horseradish Crème Fraîche. My husband finished off his meal with the Deconstructed Cheesecake for dessert, which he said was wonderful. I am gluten free and they were very accommodating to my allergy and have plenty of options. Our server Logan was very attentive and is an amazing mixologist as he is a server and the bartender. I highly recommend Chop House Tavern and Logan as your server!

The salmon was perfectly cooked, so were the scallops. Asparagus and duck fries a tad bit heavy on the salt. Service, once again, excellent.

From the moment we walked in the door, our experience was exceptional! Jenn was our server and was absolutely amazing. She was very friendly and made some fabulous recommendations, and the food was delicious. I couldn’t recommend Chop House Tavern more!
