   We took our 91 year old Mother for brunch, we couldn’t have been happier with the food and service The restaurant is very accessible which was great for her Lauren our server made the event for Mom special bringing her a dessert even though it was 11am, she ate it all and loved it

   Loved everything, escargot and French onion soup would have been good hot, but main meals were amazing!

   Context -- a family that has eaten in multiple Michelin 3 star restaurants around the world. This dinner was about $500. The food was good for the location -- no complaints. The service, however, was... lacking. Literally. The appetizers arrived AFTER the main course. The main course -- the most expensive steak on the menu -- arrived cooked perfectly but lukewarm. Getting water refill was a process of a dozen follow-ups and eventually having to ambush a waiter for another table. The manager floated up after his junior waiter's obvious mess-ups but did not follow through, so mess-ups continued. The restaurant came through when asked for a dessert cheese plate off the menu, but the fairly enjoyable cheese selection was accompanied by assorted pickles. All in all, the food is well above average for the geography, but there are much better operated places within 15 minute drive.

   We were sat in the bar side. It was cozy and quaint. I 100% recommend ordering a steak while there. We did wait a little while before being attended to by our server, however, I gave them the benefit of the doubt that it was busy being family day weeeknd. Both my husband and I were over-pleased with our food and will definitely eat there again!

   Fantastic Galentine’s dinner with a dear friend. Service was impeccable. Manager stopped by to ensure we were enjoying our experience. Recommendations for type of steak to order were very much appreciated. Spot on and to our liking. House made focaccia was delicious. Flourless chocolate cake was devine. Pasquale our server was very attentive and professional. Highly recommend especially for occasions when you want to feel special.

   Food was OK if your holding yourself out to be a steak house and charging SH prices you need to get it right . Ordered 3 steaks one arrived cold while everything else on the plate was hot the 2 nd medium rare arrived blue and the 3rd rare arrived medium well . Sent them back You just can’t have fundamental misses like that . Service was above average and the rest of the food was fine .

   Hi John, Thank you for taking the time to review Gustav Chophouse. I was disappointed to hear that your steaks were not cooked to the temperature you ordered. I appreciate you bringing this to our service team’s attention so we could address the issues during your visit. You are correct that Gustav offers high-quality meats, which is reflected in our pricing. Although we strive for minimal errors, I regret that this occurred at your table. I take great pride in our service team and I’m glad to hear that you recognized their efforts. I would love to have you back at the restaurant. Please reach out to the restaurant. Best regards, Gustav Chophouse

    Absolutely beautiful dinner. Ribeye steak was amazing, prime rib special was amazing as well. Very good food and customer service was outstanding. Very nice atmosphere. Good job to those that work there. 👍
