The food and service were both outstanding as always. The soup and salad set the bar high for the rest of the meal and we were NOT disappointed. It was all wonderful. One last thing, the white wine matched the food perfectly!

We had a wonderful dinner at Chophouse on Broad to celebrate my husband's birthday. Our server was wonderful, and the food was delicious. They had our table ready well before our reservation time and had a birthday card signed by all the staff waiting on the table for my husband. That was such a thoughtful touch! The owner personally came by our table, asked our names and spoke with us for a bit. Thank you all for a wonderful evening, and for making my husband's birthday a little more special. We will be back!

Absolutely delightful. You can’t beat the view. The shrimp and grits were spicy and sweet and I loved them. The brisket Benedict was absolutely perfect and their pancake’s were delicious. The staff was enchanting and welcoming. If you want an authentic Georgia dining experience it is a must.

We felt like the most important people in the world the entire time we were there. They all knew why we were there (our anniversary) and all the wait staff made us felt so special. The food was out of this world…rumbledythumps, 28 day aged steak, and wine that was amazing.

The beef short rib was excellent. The filet was very good also. We had the place to ourselves for a late weeknight dinner, so it was nice and quiet. Cocktails were very good also.
