Chop Shop was surprisingly incredible. My husband had the Filet Mignon, and sides, and it was cooked to perfection! I had the stuffed artichokes, and grilled asparagus, and enjoyed it very much. The atmosphere was perfect for a date night. The staff could not be nicer. Our table was comfortable for two. This was our first time there, because the name gave me the wrong impression of the establishment. We will definitely be back!

I recently dined at Osteria Umbra, an Italian-inspired restaurant that promises an experience of rustic elegance combined with hearty, perfectly cooked meats. The ambiance strikes a wonderful balance between sophisticated and cozy: dim lighting, exposed brick, and antique wood paneling give the place a warm, inviting feel, while the flicker of candlelight on each table adds a romantic touch. There’s an Italian charm to the space, yet it still feels like a true Italian steakhouse in all the right ways.

While a bit of a higher priced dinning experience (expect to spend $80+ per person), never a bad experience, food is always stellar and the service is excellent. Highly recommend.
