The Georgian South Eastern Chophouse

What struck me most about this restaurant was how well-done the interior really is. When you walk in you see the up-front dining area (which is nice) but in back are these low-lit, very cozy booths I imagine have hosted some very wicked, hushed conversations round about closing time. Only there for lunch I was not privy to any of these but it looked like a nice place to while away some cold winter nights with friends. As for the food, my bison burger had enough bacon on it to choke a cow. A tasty burger. The service was spot-on and a great time was had by all. Pros: Great service, great food. Cons: None. The place is beautiful. more

It is hard to get a steak cooked correctly. Mid rare is a warm red center and the chophouse nailed it. I'll be back Pros: Great cut of beef...aged well Cons: Little new, so staff is still learning more

Four of us went for lunch - a birthday celebration. When our waitress approached the table she stated there was no chicken, tuna or pork so not to order anything with these ingredients. We ordered fried green tomatoes for any appetizer and awhile later she came out and said there were no tomatoes. Were is the communication between the wait staff and the kitchen? Our other appy order was to be shared by the table but she didn't supply plates for us or just even a plate to discard bones on. I ordered a lamb burger with feta and receive a beef burger with swiss and mushrooms. By the time I received my proper order everyone else was finished with their meals. Another in our party ordered a sandwich with ham, turkey and cheese and received the order without the cheese. There were no condiments at the table or on any of the sandwiches so we asked for condiments for the table. The waitress brought only ketchup - no mayo, mustard, salt or pepper. She was extremely good at apologizing so I figure she does it regularly. I would never recommend this place to anyone and rate it a zero. I had to give it a one star not able to rate it a zero. Cons: Where to start there are so many!! more

My wife and I drove to Athens for the weekend to catch a game, eat, drink and shop. A friend of our told us to try the Chophouse and we are so glad we did. The interior is gorgeous--think cherry wood bar, tall ceilings, chandeliers. But the overall vibe is upscale casual and welcomes a good bar scene. For dinner, I had the tenderloin and she had the halibut, both of which were outstanding. The owner stopped by our table and talked to us about the preparation of the foods and the wines, etc. The whole experience was intimate, yet casual and very cool. Pros: Great Lunch Prices, Amazing Meat Selection more
