    Food and service were excellent. Love how the food is served tapas style so everyone can order something different and try things. The Cajun oysters are amazing and the remoulade for the crab cakes is some of the best I’m had with a nice little kick to it. We also had the scallops with butternut squash risotto that was fabulous. Ended the night with a Moose Track expresso martini that was delicious. Will definitely be back again

    Our family from NY cerebrated Christmas at Choplin’s for the first time after hearing great things about the restaurant from friends in the area. We could not have chosen a better place to celebrate. The food was delicious, portions were huge and the dessert menu had something for everyone! For a group of 15, it’s not easy to satisfy everybody and Choplins nailed it! The interior has modern touches, yet warm and friendly. We can’t wait to return to this family operated gem. The service was impeccable even with so many Christmas parties going on. We live in New York City where there are amazing restaurants. I would recommend Choplin’s to anyone who has high expectations for steaks and seafood. Thank you for making our family celebration truly memorable! Kudos the owners Faith and chef Wes who came out to check on our group and to Samantha who made sure everyone enjoyed! Merry Christmas!
