    The food was great, as was the service. The Dining room was almost like a cave. I expected a nice view of the outside and/or lake , but there is none. Our table was by the kitchen entrance and very busy and disruptive. A table should not be located there. The prices were high, but we knew that ahead of time. For the overall experience ,I would not rate it very high. I will not go back.

    As soon as we walked in the door, it was an amazing experience. Staff is very knowledgeable and attentive. The intimate, small atmosphere was quiet and cozy. For how busy it can get outside the chophouse door, you couldn’t hear any of it. Food was great and I had some flavors I don’t think I’ve ever even tasted before. The only thing that was a huge bummer was that after we hung out for a while finishing dessert, they forgot to bring out our leftovers after packing them up. We forgot about them too until we were almost home. I will absolutely go back, but I’ll have to make sure we get the leftovers especially how expensive it is.

    Thank you for your review! We appreciate your feedback and support. We are pleased to hear you had an amazing experience and we look forward to hosting you again! Apologies for the forgotten leftovers! Team Trace

    Our party of 5 dined on Wednesday, October. 29th. We ordered and shared a number of dishes which were mostly excellent! Included were orders of Brussel Sprouts, Roasted Fingerlings, Mashed Potatoes, and Sautéed Mushrooms. All were excellent. One person ordered the Mushroom Risotto, which was also excellent. Our only disappointment was the 42 oz. Ribeye, which was priced at $147. It is meant to be shared as we ordered it for 4 of our diners. It is portion cut at the table by the server. Unfortunately, it was overdone. That would be our only disappointment. The service was excellent as was the ambience. Our biggest complaint was the addition of a $15.39 "Service Charge" on a tab of $513.00. Really! This tactic, even though a relatively small charge, leaves a bad taste in the customers mouth. How irritated would we have been had our bill totaled $528.39? Stop the "nickel and diming"!
    Trace ChophouseResponded on 4 November 2024
    Thank you for your review David. We are glad you had a great experience with us at Trace. We appreciate your feedback and support. The Service Charge comes from the City of Wheeling and the Park Commission for Historic Preservation purposes. I understand your frustration and apologize for that. We do look forward to hosting you again! The Trace Team
