Norfolk Chop HouseMy date and I started offMy date and I started off with the Calamari, the Thai Chile Sauce was an excellent and fresh twist on a classic appetizer.
I had the Filet with a side Caesar and the baked potato. The salad was fantastic, the shaved Parmesan and lemon zest really added to the flavor of the white anchovies. My filet was ordered Medium and came out perfectly done and the baked potato was fluffy.
My date ordered the NY Strip with side Caesar and mashed potatoes, the Strip was also ordered Medium and was just as perfect as the filet.
For dessert my date and I had the Creme Brulee and it was absolutely superb.
Service was excellent, the atmosphere was quiet and the decor was well appointed. Do not judge by the exterior!5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent dinnerWent to Norfolk Chop House to celebrate son's graduation. We had an early reservation (5PM). Place was very quiet - but only 5 tables were filled while we were there since it was so early. The staff was very attentive and the food was delicious. Price was what you would expect for a steakhouse. Would recommend it.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMHats off to the Norfolk ChophouseHats off to the Norfolk Chophouse for a wonderful Mothers Day dining experience. Our waiter provided great service was very knowledgable and attentive to all our needs. The food was excellent. It exceeded all of our expectations, from appetizer to dessert. The wine, suggested by our waiter, was a delightful California Pinot Noir that paired well with our perfectly prepared steak fillets. We will be returning very soon.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat spotWe had a group of 20 and the waiters were entertaining, attentive, and well mannered. Food was cooked to perfection. Will visit again.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMMy newly established fiancéMy newly established fiancé found this little gem and I am very glad she did. From the beginning I liked the feel and mood of this classic chop house. I found out, (from my fantastic waiter) that this building was at one time a car dealership and another time a furniture warehouse. The restaurant was almost empty when we came in, 1 hour after opening, but it did not take away from the experience at all. From the get go I could tell that our waiter knew what he was doing. Stephen was perhaps the best server I have ever had in all my experience with fine dining. He was able to guide us through what he saw as the best choices for what we wanted. Our appetizer was delicious and our entrees were incredible, add in a fine desert and voila.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMI made my first visit to theI made my first visit to the Norfolk Chop House on Friday and I was not disappointed. The waiters were helpful with food selections and wine pairings. The food was fantastic and I would recommend the filet or duck. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend this restaurant.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent food, excellentExcellent food, excellent service and great prices. Our server was great, really made us feel welcome.I highly recommend The Norfolk Chophouse for a special occasion or just casual dinning.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMStephen, our waiter, was absolutelyStephen, our waiter, was absolutely fabulous. His choice for our wine was spot on. I couldn't have even imagined a pairing this good. The food was wonderful. Our appetizer of crab stuffed mushrooms was great. The mushrooms were fresh, the crab tasty, and was very light as to not fill us up. Overall experience was superb. We will be back.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent evening. At 6:30Excellent evening. At 6:30 pm on Good Friday evening, only one other couple was dining. The number of diners significantly increased by 7:30 pm. The filet and pork chops were excellent and cooked to order. The mashed sweet potatoes lacked seasoning and were a disappointment. Free (other than gratuity) valet parking is an excellent feature.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food & service. We'veGreat food & service. We've been here twice & definitely will be back. Great chop house & neighborhood gem! :)3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMI took my wife to the NorfolkI took my wife to the Norfolk Chop House for her birthday, so we wanted a romantic place for a special occasion. We also brought our 4 month old son, so we went on the earlier end (5:30) in order to keep ahead of bedtime and be at the restaurant at a more kid-friendly hour. We often take our son out to eat with us, and it can be touchy if he needs attention. The Chop House went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The staff carried him around to give us time to eat, stayed engaged with us while respecting our rare date-night experience. It was one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had. The food (steaks) was fantastic, as was the regular wait service. Nice space, too.3/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service, amazing food!Great service, amazing food! So glad e gave it a try. I'll definitely go back.3/9/2013 12:00:00 AM
