Olde Florida Chop House

Alain was superb! The osso bucco divine. A wonderful hideaway of a restaurant. We go where the locals go...and this is a place to go.

Service not up to your usual standards, however, the wait staff was crushed so we did understand.

We chose the OFCH based on many very good reviews. It turns out they were spot on in the praise given. The place itself is really nice. The cocktails were generous and well done. We had great raw oysters, my wife had the veal chop and I opted for the pork osso buco. I have to say that they were delicious and perfectly prepared. Our server, Alaine, made the whole experience better. He was friendly, efficient and attentive. We have found yet another gem in SW Florida and we will be returning.

We had a wonderful meal. Food was great and what we expected. Service was excellent and we had a great experience. We would recommend it to others.

You know that one restaurant you pass a hundred times and think, “That patio looks like the kind of place you'd write a poem about, or at least sip something fancy while contemplating life...”? For us, that place was The Old Florida Chophouse—a lakeside spot so serene it looked like it belonged in a postcard... or a meditation app. Despite years of drive-by admiration, we'd never heard a single soul mention it. No rave reviews, no whispered foodie gossip—just silence. Naturally, we assumed it was either a mirage or a very elaborate decoy. But this week, curiosity (and a craving for steak) won. And wow. Just wow. Our waiter, Alain, deserves his own five-star review—charming, knowledgeable, and smoother than the bourbon glaze on my pork chop. Every dish was flawless, every bite a reminder that sometimes, the best places are the ones no one talks about... because they don't want to share. This hidden gem is no longer hiding from us. We'll be back soon—and often. And if you're reading this: don't sleep on the Old Florida Chophouse. Just don't take our table by the lake.

Great experience! Happy Hour is awesome! And the entrees, apps and salads were delicious!!

Great food and service. Went for early happy hour dining. Even though discounted it was still a bit more expensive than I anticipated. That said I enjoyed it the experience.

There were seven of us and each enjoyed their meals. pork osso buco, filet, carbonara, steak,Grouper, salad, tomahawk pork chop drinks salads onion soup as you see plenty of variety . All cooked good served hot.

We found the Olde Florida Chop House to be excellent in every way. It is not a large restaurant, so there is a feeling of intimacy. The noise level is low, making conversation easy. The menu is not large, but offers a nice variety, and the food is very good. It feels refined without being stuffy.

We dined here for the 1st time on our anniversary. Our table was very nice (next to the lake) as was the waitstaff. I ordered the lobster tail which was undercooked and very disappointing considering the cost of it. It was a nice evening since it was a celebration but we really were unhappy with the food at these prices.

We love goingot this restaurant for its quiet elegance, great, food and excellent service. Unfortunately one table of 5 adults decided to control the entire space with their ridiculosuly loud talking and carrying on. It seemsot be tha the host or hostess could periodically go to a table tlike this and ask iif they needed anythingot break up their bar like behavior.

The food and service was excellent. Our waiter was very courteous and willing to help with recommendations. We are on the patio and the setting was very beautiful.

Very nice restaurant. Escargot was a little tasteless. Steaks and chops were good. Side dishes were small. A little surprised there weren't tablecloths and the staff, while nice and friendly were not in any type of uniform attire.

Always a favorite! We love the food and the wait staff are knowledgeable about the different dishes, ask for Alain! We always frequent this restaurant a few times when we are in Bonita Springs. Don't forget to check out the amazing cocktails that Josie creates, they are delicious!

You always make us feel special. Food was fantastic! We missed Joanie being there on her night off!
