    Excellent food, drinks, and service!!! Might have been the best margarita I've had in a long time. The menu has a variety of options. The service was top notch and the atmosphere has a very cool and relaxing vibe. Highly recommend.

    Located in a charming renovated building, the Chophouse is a true find in a relatively lackluster downtown Madison restaurant scene. Our food, from the lamb lollipops to the steak and short ribs were delicious. We enjoyed having white tablecloths, something you rarely find these days. We will definitely return.

    This was fantastic. The food was wonderful, but our waitress Lydia really made the experience! She had excellent recommendations, she was attentive but not intrusive, she was just wonderful. A little bit loud at times for our business dinner, but still a great experience and would highly recommend!

    When you are completely out of a main dessert that everyone at the table was going to order on a Saturday night. Not a way to end a meal.

    The restaurant look like your typical old-school steakhouse. We have the meatballs is an appetizer. They were seasons and had a good texture. I remember having a pork chop with mashed potatoes. Pork chop was cooked perfectly. However, had a strong vinegar. Taste wasn’t very memorable. Mashed potatoes were disappointing. Outback and the Texas roadhouse make better potatoes. Quality of the cook and cut of a pork chop is what earned this three rating overall. But for the value, I wouldn’t recommend.
