    Despite having some challenges with staffing in our done in might, the restaurant staff went above and beyond to make the experience lovely. The steaks were amazing. Cooked to perfection and the delicious flavor. And we were celebrating by husband’s birthday and a special treat was prepared and ready. Will definitely frequent this restaurant in the future.

    This was our first time dining at Chop House, although we had dined at the previous restaurant Aioli. We loved everything about it from the minute we walked in the door. The ambiance was wonderful with a moody vibe. All the staff was top notch, welcoming and very personable. We all ordered different cocktails, entrees, sides and desserts and there wasn’t one that wasn’t perfection. Loved it and will definitely be back!

    This is a wonderful dining experience. A cozy restaurant with elegant, classic decor. Friendly service, willing to make recommendations. The meal itself was one of the best we have had. Everything was cooked to perfection, the custom sauce options add levels to the flavor profiles. We came for our anniversary but will certainly return when we visit Staunton for any occasion.
