One reviewer says this about Chops: “The food was awesome! The service is very attentive without being overwhelming all the way from the host to waiters. Great ambience. It is important to point out that they’re two restaurants in one with one being on top of the other. I could myself upstairs searching for the rest of my dinner party when they were already downstairs. Upstairs has more of speak-easy vibes while downstairs (Lobster) is more focused on fine-dining.”

The Consulate
