    This was an excellent restaurant. It was the best dining experience I have had anywhere. The hostess Sara was lovely and so welcoming. Our waitress Kelly was awesome. It was a very busy evening but she never missed a beat . Every portion of our meal was fantastic from the bread to the dessert. It was our first time but it will not be our last . I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    We ordered a rib eye steak which is usually a very good steak. However when the steak arrived it was clearly not a rib eye. The steaks were tough and had no marbling. Not sure what kind of steak we were served, however for $60 per steak it should have been much better. We have eaten here many times and never had an issue. The staff was great. Maybe next time we would not order steak and try something else.

    Another fabulously delicious dinner at Choplin’s! Sarah and Watson took great care of us. We tried the halibut and Filipino steak for the first time. Both were delicious. Cocktails are always perfect. We left full and happy. They were also great with accommodating multiple food allergies.

    Great dinner at Choplin’s! Walked in and was immediately greeted and seated by Sarah. The filet and pork were both cooked perfectly (medium rare and medium). Service was wonderful with our server and Sarah both checking on us throughout the meal. They were able to modify an espresso martini to accommodate a dairy allergy and it was absolutely fabulous!
