Reviews Summary

While the food and atmosphere receive high praise, some diners have noted inconsistent service experiences, though many highlight exceptional servers who elevate the dining experience.

"My Wife and I and a couple of friends visited the chops lobster bar and had a nice time together. The Drinks were nice.The Food Was Delicious!! We had the Triple Cut Porterhouse Lamb Chops, Chilean Sea Bass Hong Kong,Creamy Curly Mac & Smoked Gouda,Steamed Jumbo Asparagus, Dry-Aged Porterhouse Experience and for a end of the night desert we had a piece of Banana cream pie.
Ambiance was Amazing!! The service was Not good at all. The waiter came and introduced herself and said what the specials was and did not come back until 30 minutes later for the drink orders that we did not get until about 20 minutes later then took our starter order then we got our food from the servers maybe 30 minutes from the kitchen but we did not see our waitress till maybe an hour later and we had to flag her down for desert that we got fairly quick and we ask for the bill and left. The valet service was quick and free just have to tip. All in all nice restaurant. But its a one and done."

"This was the best service we have ever had. Me and my Boyfriend decided to celebrate our anniversary here. It was our first time and The service was amazing. I cannot exaggerate from our server to another server to the chef to the manager they all ensured that we were taken care of and enjoyed our meal. OUR SERVER BRANDON !!!!! He was a phenomenal server all around. He was very patient, informative, and gave us many recommendations and passionately described the items on the menu. I work in foodservice so experiencing a server who is passionate about what he does was very rare to me. WHEN you go you must request Brandon he was an amazing server !

Now the food !!!! I cannot exaggerate enough this was the best steak we have ever had the A5 Wagyu was cooked and seasoned to perfection. The Chefs hands are anointed by God himself. I recommend the steak medium however the SIGNATURE LOBSTER, give me 14 of em it was exquisite. The drinks were amazing not over bearing at all.

To top it off they gave us 2 desserts on the house for our anniversary. They genuinely care about your experience. Truly God bless the people at this location they were all so very sweet from the host to the busser.

Overall 100000000/10. Broke my scale."

"We had our rehearsal dinner here in one of the private rooms that could fit all 26 of us (including 5 small children). The service and atmosphere were perfect, especially the in room bartenders. We were even able to play a slideshow that some of our family members created. The food was spectacular, I had the lobster stuffed with crab and I still think about it :) Thanks to Kyle for helping plan and set up this unforgettable event."

You're not the type to take undue advantage of your expense account, but corporate is flying in to evaluate your department, and you'd like to take the CEO somewhere she'll feel very, very comfortable. You and the boss will slide into Chops the way a chunk of flash-fried Australian lobster tail (market price) slides into a bowl of drawn butter — with barely a ripple. The first foray of this Atlanta steak and seafood mainstay into South Florida territory is already a frantic hit with the kinds of people who want to impress somebody else.
