Perfectly prepared filet, every time. I started with the Bee's Knees cocktail, and had filet with the bleu cheese butter sauce and wow, it's a new favorite. We also had the mac & cheese which was a huge portion, probably could have fed 4 people, and the truffle fries. The service was very attentive, yet not excessive, which I appreciated. Chophouse is my favorite spot in all of Buffalo for a filet, I have yet to find better. Thank you for a wonderful birthday meal!

Wanted to take my wife out for a date night, never patronized this restaurant but found that it was open on a Sunday. Once arrived we were automatically greeted at the door by who we found out to be the owner, once seated we looked over the menu which had some amazing selections but not too much where it would be overwhelming. The food was good, I had the lamb and an appetizer, my wife decided on the French onion soup that she raved about! Our server was amazing as well! He knew the menu and was very transparent about the dishes, unlike some place that will lie and say everything is great. We enjoyed ourselves and will for sure continue to patronize.
