Pascal's Chophouse

I showed up a few minutes early for a date and sat at the bar. I immediately noticed how relaxed the vibe was though it looked like a pretty upscale place. All the staff were smiling and easy-going. The bartender had great drink suggestions and the food was delicious. Try the Black Manhattan from the bar.

Pascal's! You need to fix your google maps! We found this place on a whim but sitting outside looking at the menu on google maps it didn't have much. It also says reservations required. So my husband started driving off but I made him stop so I could run in and check. The hostess said we didn't need reservations and gave me the menu which is full, unlike on Google. So just wanted to let you know because you're probably losing a larve customer base off tjese errors. Anyway, here's what I posted on ig....we went restaurant/bar hoping accidentally tonight and omg @pascalschophouse_ had the best french onion soup I've ever had! It was sweet, I've never tasted any like that. This may not look good because I had already been eating it and I get it without croutons but it was delicious! Whatever was in the butter that came with the table bread also sweet and scrumpcious! The filet was really good too but I think I would have liked some sauce with it. Our waiter had only worked there 2 days so I think he forgot to ask because I remember seeing sauce options on the menu lol.

Pete was awesome! Amazing wine selection, lots of great cocktails. Steak was some of the best in the area (on par or better than Ruth's Chris in Annapolis). Good variety of appetizers and desserts. Price was reasonable for what you get, and plenty of food without being overbearing. Would gladly come here again! Only minor catch: they had run out of the steak I ordered (Thursday night around 7). They had upgraded me to a better steak for free, though, so great handling of the situation!

There were good points and bad points to our experience at Pascal's. Our server was great and we enjoyed the appetizer and bread very much. The entrees were mediocre at best. For $40 I expect a very good entree, not something I can make tastier at home for 1/3 the price. The steak was very bland, be sure to order a sauce ($3 extra) to make it a little better. The dessert was very good, we had the bread pudding. It was a fun experience, but I would skip the entree and just go for happy hour.

Drinks are tasty and the food is good.. but.. But it’s incredibly expensive and everything is a la carte. The Tavern Mac &Cheese was just OK. The Steaks my husband and I ordered, though quite tasty, we kind of felt we could have gotten about the same flavor ( and bigger pieces) at a chain. Best part of the experience was definitely the big comfy seating and strong cocktails.
