We walked out. I wouldn't even give ACH that one star if I didn't have to put down something to show how dissatisfied we were with our experience. We went for Dine LA week. We had a 7:15p reservation and were promptly seated next to a loud and obnoxious party of 12. We couldn't hear ourselves talk unless we were... more

My wife's birthday was spent and celebrated with family/friends at the Chop House -not just a night out with friends at a "different" restaurant but a truly unique experience overall that our small party might just want to hold onto. The wait staff and the dishes are well beyond ordinary. Bone-in filet was prepared "black 'n blue" as we always... more

if you love meat, you will love this place. you have to like your meat cooked on a grill because sometimes the meat gets a "burnt" taste that my mom is not too fond of. we love the apply pie dessert with vanilla ice cream. the au gratin potatoes are to die for!!! they are my all time favorite. i... more

I have a great love for food and dining out. Needless to say, I've eaten at some of the best eateries on the West Coast! I consider myself very hard to please and my love for flavor doesn't allow me to settle for anything less than that! The Arroyo Chop House is the best in the west. Where to start,... more

The Chop House is classic Smith Brothers quality, and typically pricey for an upscale steakhouse, but that's about all it is. Go across the parking lot to their flagship Parkway Grill and get a real classsic dose of eclectic California Cuisine. Both restuarants have good music by ace pianists. more

great steak, friendly and attentive service. I initially thought my steak was overdone (it wasn't) and they were checking on me within 10 seconds of seeing my perplexed face. The only irritation was the price gouging. The waitress offered bread and then charged us (one would expect bread to be free) and we asked for ice cream for the chocolate... more

The chop house is everything you want your ideal steakhouse to be an more. The meat is cooked perfectly, and the sides are savory and delightful. I recommend the potatoes gratin. This restaurant is byob friendly, so feel free to bring your own bottle of wine or champagne. Although, their bar service makes the perfect manhattan. The tab can be... more
