Bloomington Chophouse - Two Thumbs Down


We went to the ChopHouse for restaurant week, excited to try a new location for dinner. If i could rate just the host, I would give four of five stars, however the rest of the experience was miserable.

To start, we ordered a bottle of wine, and were told, thirty minutes later, that they've never carried it!!! The host suggested a different bottle it's place (which was very good), but we would have prefered to know WAY before half an hour had passed. We weren't asked for our order until after they figured out the wine.

The evening went down from there:

  • Our first course arrived an hour after we sat down
  • Main course arrived about 30 minutes after our first course was cleared, and was cold. Not lukewarm, but "30 minutes sitting after cooking" COLD. We sent them back and the new steaks arrived in 5 minutes - even still, they were average.
  • Dessert arrived 30 minutes after our main course plates were cleared. We had to wait an extra 15 minutes before our server came back for us to be able to order coffee.

Because it was restaurant week, we ordered all three courses at once, so there was no delay in ordering from us - it was just terrible service. The food wasn't anything special (in fact, sub-par might be a better description).
