The Chop House - Charleston

Very nice place ,was expecting to go somewhere else but they were having an issue so for my birthday we ended up going to The Chop House.. tried some new things that I've never had before was very impressed and the waiter James went out of his way to make my birthday special, our appetizer was the Moroccan shrimp which is very good a little bit of spiciness to it, the main course was crab stuff sole, and a rosemary herb chicken. And for dessert I tried their Maple pecan bread pudding with chocolate drizzle and it was awesome.

Top notch service and selection. I got a special that was the Parmesean Crusted Halibut topped with a lobster creme sauce woth asparagus and a house salad. It was cooked beautifully and I paired with a nice Pinot Noir. Most menu items are a la carte and large. Some dishes have sides along with it (as my halibut did). ** It was the best food I've had in a long time ** Great Old Fashions I hear, but they are not my taste. Valet service outside if you prefer for 10, pay when you pay the bill. Can you believe I lost my ticket in the 15 feet it took to walk in, and I hadn't even had wine yet. But it didn't matter. They had my last name. Go on, have fun. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. You won't regret it. And follow me you pirates.

The food was superb 👌 Very impressive and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The waitress was very knowledgeable and explained that the steaks are cooked a little under what you usually order and that helped in ordering the perfectly cooked steak. The food was cooked to perfection. I can say that I was very impressed. I highly recommend and would return.

My wife and I had a reservation here for 530pm, with plans to see a comedy show across the street at 7pm. When we arrived we were seated, the waiter arrived and took our beverage order. 20 minutes later the waiter came back, our appetizer arrived at the table. We had the crab cakes, they were average, very little seasoning, but good size chunks of crab and seared nicely. The cosmopolitan tasted pretty good, but after drinking, my wife noticed liquid pooling at the brim, there were 2 lipstick stains on the glass (my wife was not wearing lipstick). The glass was not clean. My wife did not want me to make a big deal about it, so we didn't say anything and hoped for the best. The waiter arrived back at our table 30 minutes later with bread, we were beginning to get nervous since our food order had not even been taken yet and we had roughly 40 minutes left. We alerted the waiter that we had a show at 7, also asked for directions (which sent us to the wrong building after). He took our order. My wife asked about how the beef Wellington was cooked and he spoke down to her when she asked if it would take any additional time (since we were on a time restraint). Additionally throughout each interaction, he only addressed me. My wife felt invisible and unimportant, for good reason. The next time we saw him was roughly 650, our food had not arrived yet and we asked to have it packed to go. He came back with the bill, which again was handed directly to me. We paid before even seeing our food. He didn't apologize, didn't seem bothered by the situation at all. The first interaction he had with my wife was when he handed her the food to carry. Which felt even more disrespectful. It was a nightmare experience, which also spoiled the rest of our night as we arrived late to our show upset about the entire situation. We drove home and attempted to reheat our dinner, but the damage was done. We spent $200 and 90 minutes of our life for this awful experience, 2 crab cakes, a lump of parmesan and tapioca they called bread, and a bag of leftovers. The Mac and Cheese turned to mush, the broccoli was cooked well buy left with all the inedible stems and was unseasoned. The Wellington was overcooked and missing the mushroom and liver pate. The filet was cooked well, but again was very bland. Needless to say, I do not recommend.
