    From the moment we walked in the door, our experience was exceptional! Jenn was our server and was absolutely amazing. She was very friendly and made some fabulous recommendations, and the food was delicious. I couldn’t recommend Chop House Tavern more!

    Excellent first experience! The venue is elegant yet cozy. Our waitress was knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. And the food and wine was excellent! From appetizers to dessert, we were impressed with every bite.

    Excellent downtown Staunton restaurant! Top-notch team, very friendly and professional. Pacing of meal was done well. Good cocktail and wine list. Recommend to ask what liquor is in the drink you order as its not specified in menu and you'll get rail/well pour. We dined here back in November and the Filet wasn't great but we had Filet this time and noticed a considerable difference (for the better!) and once we inquired, they informed us they changed vendors for sourcing their steaks. Several sauces to choose from to accompany the Filet, all are great. Compliments to Chyna, our server, who was upbeat and very knowledgeable about the menu and offered suggestions based on our preferences. We can recommend the steaks, salads, soups and desserts- have not tried the elk meatloaf or the pork or the burger, maybe next time. This location has been through a few iterations/restaurants and it continues to be a beautiful restaurant with artwork surrounding you and the cleanest restrooms you'll find in any restaurant. Of note, their main location is in Harrisonburg and we have been there multiple times and even had a large event catered- always a great experience. We hope this Staunton location continues to be a success for them!

    Beautiful atmosphere, good ambience, comfortable place to sit. Food was excellent. I usually don’t care much for the bread at restaurants, but oh my goodness, the bread and butter was incredible. Our steaks were cooked perfectly. Sides were delicious, as was our salad and appetizer. We appreciated the cocktail and cocktail menu. Only thing I would do to improve to have wait staff box your food for you. When spending $200+ at dinner, I really dislike having to box my own leftovers. By doing this for people, it’s the perfect way to finish the evening feeling like you were taken care of from start to finish. Overall service was very good with a very friendly and kind hostess and waiter. Thank you! We will be back!

    The restaurant sign outside is simple but elegant. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant which surprises me in a good way. It was like another seating area. We were offered complimentary champagne toast for celebrating our anniversary. They served complimentary bread as well. We enjoyed baked chevre as our starter. We ordered Steak & mushroom cassoulet & Sirloin steak with mashed potatoes for our mains & both were delicious. We were sipping spiced cranberry margarita & winter sangria, both were refreshing. We finished Triple chocolate cake so quickly, it was very tasty. They also gave us thin chocolate bars to taste. We have a great server, her name is Lindsey. We’re glad we tried this new restaurant. It was a great dinner.
