The food was not edible. It was so noisy I could not hear my partner. It was a set 5 coarse meal that went from bad to worse. The wagu was main course and was mostly fat and served cold. The waiter was great but we will not eat there again. We were not charged for our meal or Champagne but that was not what we were looking for on New Years Eve.

Chopp House was a delight on all levels. Service is outstanding, floor plan leaves space between tables for privacy, and the food was art. Layers of taste with each course complemented the perfect textures with each. Amazing!!

My husband and I went for an amazing dinner at 1888! Our server, Morgan, was fantastic from the minute he greeted us at the table. His knowledge of the food and wine was phenomenal, making it very easy to make our choices. There was a good few other tables in the restaurant, but it never felt loud or overly busy. Every aspect of the food was delicious and we enjoyed the whole experience.
