    We didn’t look at the menu before coming and the food was beyond good! Everything we had was great, and even got a complementary dessert for our anniversary which had us in wow.

    Service at the bar was exceptional. Food was pretty good but not great. I should have stuck with the ribeye but instead went with the NY Strip (not my favorite cut so my mistake not yours).

    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.
