    New people serving us. They seemed to be in learning mode. Food not as good. Early bird discount disallowed because we had a groupon. Groupon was issued before they discontinued lunch service. It was for $25.00 and intended for lunch use. I had to use at dinner instead and soon because it was about to expire. So when you took away the early bird discount because of having groupon, it almost was a waste of purchasing the groupon. Split plate fee for two $10.00. That's high. Food prices have gone up too. When considering all the above, a restaurant that would have been on our "A" list has now dropped to a lower attractiveness.

    I’ve been coming here for 8 years. It’s just NOT the same. All waitstaff has been changed. Menu is much more limited and more pricey. Some of my menu favorites dropped. The portions are not the same. It was a bit disappointing.

    We celebrated 2 birthdays here and from the time we entered until the end of our meal, everything and everyone was above our expectations. It was our first time to visit Choplin’s, but have heard so many wonderful things from friends so we decided to make the trip from South Charlotte and so glad we did! It was everything we expected and more! And what a surprisingly beautiful space! A true hidden gem! Our server Sarah including the other staff, were all so attentive. We had the duck, lobster, Seabass and filet and every dish was perfect! I can’t believe we waited this long to finally try Choplin’s. We will definitely be back soon to make up for lost time! Thank you for a fantastic experience!

    Choplin’s was incredible! The highlight of our meal was the seared tuna—it was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Our server, Kelly, was fantastic, attentive, and friendly. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making for a perfect dining experience. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I enjoyed our meals very much!The service was great but unfortunately I cannot remember our server or the hostess ‘ name that seated us but both were very personable! I thought it was a bit over priced but overall it was good experience.

    Food was excellent. We had a misunderstanding with our initial order which was resolved quickly to our satisfaction. I highly recommend the salmon and the flat stake. Will definitely be back .
