Chop House, Fort Worth, Texas Restaurant Details

Food:

Stay away from here on Valentine's Day.
Slow, unavailable service. Rude, overworked
waiters. Food was good, but the atmosphere
was not. It was wall to wall people.

**UPDATE**
I JUST CHECKED MY CREDIT CARD AND FOUND A PENDING AUTHORIZATION FOR $141.59 FROM MERCURY CHOPHOUSE. MY BILL TOTAL WAS $118. I HAVE CUSTOMER COPY OF RECEIPT.

We called ahead at least 3 weeks in advance to make a reservation as we had a large party and we were celebrating an engagement. The soon-to-be groom was proposing at the restaurant in front of all his and his fiancee's friends and family. We got there an hour before the reservation and still didn't get seated until 30 minutes AFTER our reservation time. As it is the weekend and holidays, I could let this slide if this had been the only issue, but sadly it wasn't.

After we sat down, they put bread on the table. After sitting on our table for about 5 minutes, they realized they put it on the wrong table, so decided to take it back and give it to the correct table. About 20 min after the proposal, they finally decided to give us menus. My sister found the wine list on the backside of the first page. She literally pulled the page out of its holder to find it. The server was very rude and snappy. He slammed menus on the table when 4 people chose not to order cause it was too expensive. He was an older french guy. He got snarky when one of us asked to add something to his order by telling him, well I already turned in your order. As I was giving him my appetizer order, he walked off. He did come back and flatly asked what I wanted. The bread was placed on the table as 3 people were served their regular dinner, then I was served my appetizer, the calamari. As I was dishing some out to friends, I found a strand of short black hair. I have long red hair. Then I found a second strand. I handed the 2nd strand to a server and explained the situation. She apologized and walked away. She did not offer to replace my appetizer.

The meal...the couple had eggplant parmasian ($25) and rigatoni ($25). My sister had chicken cordon bleu ($26) and her husband had 12oz New York strip ($32). I had rigatoni also. The steak was supposed to be medium-rare, it came out rare and a slice of a tomato. The sauce on the noodles for the eggplant parmasian was so thick, it made the noodles seem like glue, too thick, and had no flavor I was told. The chicken cordon bleu had no ham in it. It was stuffed with broccoli and cheese. The bottom of the chicken breading was burnt and the chicken was dried out. The potatoes actually crunched when she put her fork in them. As to my rigatoni...noodles had black on them from being burnt and overcooked. The sauce was grainy and flavorlesd, and the chicken was flat and dry. Another person ordered the sauteed mushrooms. I tried them and there was no sauce to compliment the mushrooms. It tasted like just mushrooms.

I will say, I enjoyed the Cupcake Moscato d'asti. However, they only poured half a glass, not a full glass. There was also one server that was amazing. He was a young black gentleman. He was very polite and courteous. He offered to box my food up for me and was very polite in answering any questions. He even explained the steaks were a la carte and offered to get my sister's husband a side when I asked him if the steak was the only thing he got. Very polite. Wish all servers were like him.

Save your money and go to Saltgrass Steakhouse if you want a good steak, better service, and overall good food.

We waited one hour to be seated even though we had made a reservation two days before. Once at the table, we waited one hour and a-half to be served! The mush potatoes and the four asparagus that were on my plate, were fine. Not worth the $34 though (plus tax). However, I heard that the Filet Mignon and the other meats were fine. Finally, my waiter had to change my bill twice because he was charging $61 the first time, $45 the second time,and finally the $34. The highlight of the night was the pianist and singer. He was absolutely wonderful and delightful!

Excellent food and service. We were seated promptly by the friendly staff. Tra, our waiter, ensured we understood what we wanted to order. I recommend this establishment. They aren't cheap, but a good meal isn't. We will return.
