    The beautiful dining room was filled but not uncomfortably crowded, unlike the bar which looked like the customers were "squeezed" in. The bar had 8 barstools; would look more elegant if there were 6.

    Food, etc. was excellent. We had very nice young man as our waiter. He told us he is very new, so it took some time to get answers to a couple of questions and a very long time to get my credit card processed. We totally understand all of that. What stunned me was the price of my drink. I ordered a double Single Malt Scotch (started with an "Mc...?" and it cost $38!!! We weren't shown the spirits menu with prices. I would never have ordered that Scotch if I had known. Glad you are here.. anxious to try other things on your menu. Pam Huggins

    Our server was excellent, attentive, knowledgeable. Food was generous and tasty. Toward the end of the evening (8:45 pm), once again, no one was at the Host stand to say "Thank You" or "Have a good evening." There should be someone there. However, there were two employees sitting at the bar looking at their phones.

    This was my 3rd time at Chop House Tavern. This particular night, I was with girlfriends. Ambience is very nice with low lights and tasteful decor. The Tavern Burger with fries was very good as was the Faroe Island Salmon. I was disappointed that Béarnaise sauce is not an option for steaks under “sauces” which would have been the perfect accompaniment to my Filet Mignon. My steak was a little overcooked and for $37, it would have been nice to include two sides, rather than just one. Wine was nice and reasonable at $9/glass. My last visit was not good at all (the duck was horrible, as was the service). We really need top-tier restaurants in Staunton, so I am hopeful the restaurant will continue to improve.
