    Birthday table for 12 on a busy Saturday night before Christmas! Service was fantastic and the food recommendations on point! Fantastic night even with many large parties around us. Did not disappoint. Thanks for a great evening!

    We have eaten at Choplin’s in the past and enjoyed it but it has definitely gone downhill. We will not ever go back! The crab appetizer was mostly cheese and very little crab. Not worth the $17. The lollipop lamb chops were tough and well done when medium was requested. The mashed potatoes were served cold and the sauce over the chops was too much (maybe camouflaging the entree). Sea bass was ok but nothing great and again the rice and string beans were served lukewarm. Filet mignon was about the only decent thing. It was not a memorable meal for 4 and definitely not worth over $300. (Incidentally we only had one glass each of wine!)

    Sadly, we had a bad experience. The scallops we ate were spoiled / clearly bad - sandy and a strong chemical taste and smell. For the price it was not what you would expect. Won’t be back unfortunately.

    Choplins is going in the wrong direction. Food order was placed incorrectly so 3/4 received there meals while 4th was received twenty minutes later. No real apology given. Prices have increased while portion sizes have been reduced. It’s too bad used to be a really good restaurant.

    We have been to Choplins many times and always been pleased. This time the food wasn’t on par. Brussel Sprouts were undercooked, steak was good but nothing out of the ordinary and the duck was plain with no charred exterior. Chicken wasn’t tender kinda dry. Service was outstanding, decor is cozy-chic but very loud. Hopefully this was just an off night

    We had a very bad experience with poor service. Our waitress delivered our food and never came back. My husband had to wait at least five minutes for a cold glass for his beer. Since we could not find our waitress, we asked another waitress for more bread, but it never came. We approached the manager about the issue and she seemed genuinely annoyed with us She told us the waitress was busy. Very disappointed. We have been going here for several years, but don’t think we’ll be going back.
