Dallas Chop House

Service was poor. The restaurant wasn’t very busy, but it took a long time to get drinks. Then the server brought the wrong drinks. Feed was good, atmosphere and location good too.

We eat at the Dallas Chop House every year when we attend the Dallas Gift Show. There is one server who makes the evening a special one for us. He was there again, and we enjoyed our evening because of him, but ONLY because of him. We made a reservation and was placed in a makeshift room due to the restaurant being busy. It serves sometimes as a private dining room. I was confused when we were placed in that room but sat down deciding not to complain. I honestly felt as if I had left the Dallas Chop House and entered a Denny 's. Formica tables, with place mats, harsh lighting and the door being closed off to the main restaurant made the meal incredibly uncomfortable based on what we expected (and paid for). To make matters worse, there were four other tables in that little room filled with people who were attending a National Safari convention. They were very proud about killing elephants, zebras, lions and other endangered species, etc. and were sharing their experiences from table to table. One table also brought a baby that cried. Needless to say, our $300 dinner for two was not the experience we were hoping for. Was any of this the restaurants fault? Probably not, other than they should have made us aware of where we were going to sit, and the demographics of the group. We were the only ones NOT wearing some sort of cammo, so it should have been a no brainer to put us in an area of the restaurant that may have been consistent with what your typical diner expects. While we are carnivores, we don 't necessarily appreciate the senseless killing of animals as a trophy. The food this time was just good and the drinks were marginal. Will we be back? Possibly, but the sting of paying a $300 bill for a Denny 's experience is not easily forgotten!

Great location, and decent food. Server was really nice.

Not impressed. Didn’t live up to the expectations or price. You should never leave an establishment like this still hungry after a $130 price tag. Service was the only thing this place had going for them. Food was ok. Best thing on the menu (that we tried) was the bacon wrapped asparagus. The welcoming champagne was a nice touch.

The Cold dining room wasn’t comfortable . Good popovers, The bone marrow appetizer was excellent. The Steak was the toughest I have ever been served in an upscale steak house , however the taste was excellent and it was perfectly cooked at medium rare. The side charred broccolini) was ok . The service was top flight , the prices were good for dallas .
