Chop Steakhouse & Bar

Ok, so i took my girlfriend here for the first time. We have honestly never been treated like this before. Sure we had 1 gentleman server at olive garden...but we talked to the manager about him and i hope he gets what he deserves. So as we enter we are greeted promptly and in a positive friendly but subtle manner. We are seated in one of may spacious and oddly private booths. The layout and design is efficient but also relaxed and sophisticated. Our server comes to greet us promptly with a great attitude. Gladly helped us navigate your amazing menu. She came by often but at the appropriate times. Was very observant to the queues. What i noticed was it really isn't all about who has what section to cover. They worked as an amazingly efficient team. Dishes bussed. Water filled. Timing on the food was really good. We felt comfortable the entire time. Now for the food. We had the steak bits and the french onion soup as an appetizer. The steak literally melts in your mouth. The french onion soup has substance. The broth was actually thick and flavourful. I had thier lemonade and it was without a doubt the best balanced lemonade i have ever had. Now for the entrées. Ribs and chicken. The ribs fell off the bone. Sauce was ok in general. The chicken breast they had though. It has this beautiful seasoning to it. Was perfectly cooked. The parm mashed potatoes were really good too. We also shared the lobster pasta dish. It was pretty good. Considering i never was a seafood fan. For desert we also shared the 3 mini desert dish. All were beautiful in taste appearance and texture. The creme brule was my favorite one. Just the right amount of sweet. Now for my absolute favorite dish. The asparagus. Ho-ly-shit.... i don't know what seasoning is going on in the kitchen or if it is even legal, but wow. Perfectly cooked and seasoned with magical goodness. As for our server who on wednesday was her first day back after a year of being off. Was plesant did an amazing job in taking care of us. Even accommodated us without any odd looks for having extra plates so we could share our dishes together. We will be back. Maybe not right away though. As amazing as the experience is, there is a cost to it. Wich is completely fair and legitimate. You pay for what you get. Amazing atmosphere, delicious food and wonderful staff. Best $140 dinner i could ask for. Keep up the good work. We will gladly come back.

It was very busy! Despite this, I don't feel that there was any delay in service. The barman made eye contact the moment I sat down, acknowledging my presence. He had a few patrons to attend to before me, but did not forget about me. I ordered two appetizers: the escargot-stuffed mushrooms and the vegetable tempura. Both dishes arrived at the same time and both were piping hot! Again, despite the restaurant and lounge being full, there was no delay in service. The food was delicious! The vegetables were tender-crisp, the batter was surprisingly flavorful on its own, and the wasabi aioli was excellent (I'm not fond of wasabi, but this aioli just had a hint of it, which I found pleasant). The escargot were amazing! This app was spread topped with asiago cheese, which added a delightful texture. My eyes were bigger than my stomach (no surprise there) and I couldn't quite finish some food, but oh how I wanted to. I will definitely eat at this restaurant again on my next trip to winnipeg.
