Went to 815 Chop House for the first time back in March of 2020 (right before Covid Lockdown). Had a Fantastic Meal, Food was Delicious, Service was Outstanding, but, also have to comment on the Customers. I am a Former Marine, as was one of my other two dining partners, the other was Air Force. I had a Military Jacket, and, was pretty obvious that we were all Military. There had to have been 6 or 7 different people that stopped by the table to Thank us for our Service. Just struck me odd, as that never happens in such high numbers. Added to the great experience for the evening. THEN, went into Lockdown for 2.5 Months!

Perfect date night spot. It ain't cheap (~$100 for two people), but the food is amazing, and portions are large. Amazing drink selection and incredible staff. Free valet parking, if you're so inclined.

They got good food and good drink. Maybe a little bit pricey but I was happy with my meal. I think they have the best steak around this area.

Dined here with my mom Friday night for our first time... drinks took forever, for both rounds. As someone who works in the service industry drinks should not take 15 mins the first time and 10 for the next. Ordered the filet, asked for it medium rare.. it came out literally RAW in the center. Sides were cold.. on mine and my moms plate. BOTH times. Who wants to eat cold mashed potatoes. Send my steak back... they just refired the same piece and it came out overcooked. Mashed potatoes COLD again the second time. Manager comes over and we voice our concerns... instead of taking the meal off our bill she comps 25% off my steak, and takes a round of drinks off. $45 steak but I'll take the $11 drinks off and still charge you $30 for something that wasn't edible. Makes total sense.. safe to say We will never return.

I LOVE this place. It is quiet and the food and service are amazing. I LOVE the ambiance. The steaks are pricey but definitely worth it. I've had several other entrees which are just as nice and very reasonably priced. The sides are delicious! I have allergies to lemon and sour cream. The servers have ALWAYS been very gracious about meeting my special needs. It is great for a casual lunch or dinner; however it's even better for a romantic meal with someone special. I love the water feature! I highly recommend 815 Chop House as a place to be spoiled at a reasonable price! Don't miss out on this local gem!!

Ill keep this short and straight. 815 was an avg experience. Im glad I had a groupon for it! We ordered 2 appetizers. The fried cheese sticks and calamari. The fried cheese sticks came out to the table warm. Like, the cheese wasnt stretchy. The calamari was $17 and tasted no different than what you would get from a pizza place. We ordered the sirloin and the n.y. strip, both with "garlic" mashed potatos. The meat was ordered med rare, as it should be! The sirloin came out RARE. Kind of warm in the middle, but I thought it was going to moo a little bit. Still, a decent way to eat a steak if you ask me. The strip came out perfect. The potatos had almost no garlic flavor. Its as if they used $1 store garlic powder that was a year old. I mean, nothing was bad, it all just lacked flavor. Wait staff was GREAT though. Very very attentive. Overall, it was an avg experience. They dont really have anything to offer that would keep me coming back. I hate to leave a kind of negative review, but im just calling it how I got it.

Food is excellent; prices a bit high. Four adults all loved our choices. Mine was Chicken Marsala and it was a 5 out of 5. I ate it for 3 days! Calamari appetizer was quite expensive for the size of it (about 1/2 of typical I'd say) but very good. Definitely recommend.

It has been a few weeks since I ate here so maybe it has gotten better. Being lunch I was surprised that only two other tables were occupied. I ordered a burger with fries and I have to say that the fries were very good. As far as the burger goes I have had better. I ordered it medium and it came back definitely medium-well to well. In fact the waitress was told beforehand that I don't like well done at all. She was professional enough to suggest a reorder when I showed it to her but I declined. The other part of the burger was size (under a 1/2 lb.) and dryness. I will go back and try again and hope that the chef has better food ahead. First impressions can be wrong once.

Went here for dinner on a saturday night for the first time. The inside is very nicely done and the waitstaff is friendly. The food on the other hand is horrible. For the prices they charge it should be much better. Besides the taste the presentation is lacking. I ordered chicken marsala and it was just a brown puddle on my plate. It looked like the chef just plopped a gob of potatoes on the plate, put a piece of rubbery chicken on top and ladled a ton of too thick sauce over the whole thing. I could hardly eat it. This was after a salad that consisted of old romaine lettuce with croutons out of a box. My companion ordered the prime rib special medium rare and it came rare. She sent it back and it came back overcooked and rubbery. I could go on but I'll leave it there. I won't be back.

This was their calamari that cost $17! Also got filet medallions (very fatty) and their french onion soup was horrible. However, our waitress was very attentive and cheerful.
