Chop was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of this quality comes with friendly hospitality in warm and energetic rooms. Open for breakfast, happy hour, dinner and late-night!

Chose Drift initially because of the ambiance through open table and was pleasantly surprised by the service and food. Listed our anniversary as the reason for the reservation and the kitchen ended up giving us two small tastings of oysters and pork belly to try for the first time. Our waiter had good recommendations for food and drinks to have based off of our tastes and was extremely kind and professional our entire stay. absolutely will be returning to this place 10/10
