    We were initially seating inside. My back was to the bar and 2 men were standing with their ladies sitting on the barstools. They were blocking the aisle so people and waiters were bumping into me. The indoor server agreed with our dilemma and had a table and seating created for us outside near a heat lamp. Our server Alexis outside was AMAZING! She instinctively divided our food orders so we could share. Sea-bass was seared to perfection with the sauce on bottom, and scallops were tender and sweet. It was my boyfriend’s birthday and Alexis added a candle to both of our desserts (crème brûlée and chocolate mousse…scrumptious)! She was so pleasant and efficient. You have GEM in her. We will be back….when it’s warmer😜❤️!!

    Our server was very nice, friendly, attentive when needed. The food was delicious, a great hidden gem of a restaurant! Only minor complaint I would have was the noise level. Loud from everyone talking and enjoying themselves, but not unbearably so.

    From the moment I stepped into Chops & Lobster Bar, I knew my family and I were in for a treat. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between cozy and elegant, with warm lighting and thoughtful décor that invites you to settle in and savor the experience. The service was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing. Our server (Earl) was knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations, ensuring every dish complemented the next. Now, let’s talk about the food. Every plate was a masterpiece. The Porterhouse Lamb Chops was a revelation, with its perfectly balanced flavors and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The Hong Kong Sea Bass, a house specialty, was an explosion of taste that left me wanting more. Even the side dishes and desserts were crafted with care and attention to detail. You must try the Mediterranean Octopus!!! One of the standout moments was the presentation. Each dish arrived like a work of art, showcasing the chef’s commitment to excellence. The drinks were equally impressive. The Chops Old Fashioned and Herradura Blanco Margaritas was expertly mixed In short, Chops Lobster Bar is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional food, stellar service, and an unforgettable dining experience. If you're visiting Atlanta make sure to add to the top of your list. I’ll definitely be returning!
