Great steaks dinner at Chophouse New Orleans tonight. The crab bisque was to die for. Their Chophouse salad was ok. Our 8 oz. filet mignon and 10 oz. NY strip steaks were cooked perfectly to our orders for them to be cooked to Medium. We actually prefer Medium Rare but our waiter told us they tend to cook on the rare side and our experiences having steaks at restaurants the past few years has been that most are tending to cook Medium Rare to what my wife and I consider to be Rare. Their side dish of mushrooms was delectable. The Key Lime pie for dessert was good. It’s whipped cream on top was very thick and very cold. Decent wine list. I had a glass of Groth Cabernet Sauvignon. And a shot of Angel’s Envy on a rock (the ice cube was about 1.5” x 1.5” x 4”, a mini iceberg😁) before we ordered our dinners. At $18. that’s the cheapest shot of Angel’s Envy I’ve ever had anywhere. Our only nits were: 1) We told our waiter at the end the butter for the loaf of bread was hard as a brick. 2) The bread was like a short baguette, not pre-sliced. My wife asked the server for a knife to cut it and they merely pointed to the butter knife on her bread plate. That was totally inadequate to the task of slicing a loaf of fresh soft bread. Plus, being SF Bay Area natives, we are used to the tang of sourdough bread and a lot of restaurants’ plain breads, while they may be soft, freshly baked and warm, just taste blah to us.

This is my favorite restaurant in New Orleans. I have eaten here many, many times and I have never been disappointed. Highly recommend the brussels sprouts, the French 75, or anything that strikes your fancy. 

We had a delicious meal. I tried the newest menu item, the stuffed jumbo shrimp. This is definitely one you don’t want to miss. The service was the best I’ve had in the city!! This is my favorite restaurant to visit and be treated like NOLA Royalty. Our server JC was outstanding! Looking forward to returning soon.

The waiting staff was excellent all around. Their pace was perfect, they very kind, respectful and welcoming. The food was nothing short of amazing. I had the royal red shrimp, escargot and then finished with blackened grouper. Every dish was presented with precision and every bite’s flavor reflected that. I’ll be coming back every time I am in town.

We were there to celebrate 4 birthdays, the waitress took her time to explain the menu to us and didn't feel rush to place our entree order. Overall, everything was excellent we will definitely go back.
