Michael's Chop House

I had Caitlyn for a server and she was great. I went for Valentines day and they were out of a side dish that I really wanted to try which was the mac n cheese. Not sure if they ran out of pasta or cheese but that was a bit disappointing. Upon ordering steaks my party was informed that what our cooked preference was would not be what we'd receive based on how the chef preferred to cook to the steaks. For example, I wanted my steak medium but she told me that he'd cook a medium steak more medium rare and if I wanted true medium that I'd have to request it medium well. To me, that's weird because why not just cook someone's steak how they prefer it. Based on this I'm assuming that the chef is one of those highly prejudiced ppl who hates ppl that orders steak well done lol. Me, personally, I don't like well done steak and don't necessarily like when ppl want one but it's not my life's mission to infringe on people's right to eat their steak however they want it either. The bread that they serve is absolutely amazing! It's like a cheese muffin but so much more than a cheese muffin at the same time. Cocktails are not watered-down at all. You order an alcoholic beverage and you're gonna taste and feel it for sure! The brussel sprouts were very delicious, a tad bit more on the sweet side than I'd prefer but I've been on keto for over a year so my taste buds have changed a lot and anything sweet tastes overly sweet to me. Over all, the service was top notch and the food was definitely good. The sides are huge portions so they're not just for one person. I would say the ambiance is more on the upscale side but I saw ppl casually dressed or even in what appeared to be street wear.

This was not a normal Chop House experience. This was my first visit to the Ann Arbor location that we decided to celebrate my birthday at. It was a Tuesday night (March 22), sat us in the bar and not very busy. Our waitress was very respectful but didn't seem to want to be there and was not engaged. The food was just ok. We had Salads, Filet, NY, 27 layer Potatoes, and Mushrooms. It was recommended by our waitress that we do not order our steaks medium-rare but to order medium. The Filet was cooked close to medium-rare but the NY was medium-well. Not even close to a medium-rare. The CH Old Fashioned was the best I have ever had. We seemed rushed the entire meal. We did not get to relax and enjoy each course of our meal and have conversation over our beverages. We were in and out in 45 minutes (wasn't enough time to enjoy more beverages). Something was just a bit off and not like prior Chop House experiences at other locations. We would not return to this location which is disappointing. We ended back at Knights for birthday beverages and dessert. They were very busy but they appreciated us being there.

Nice wine list. Found some decent Chablis and a good Napa Merlot. Had a delicious Fruit of the Sea with shrimp, fish, and sweet scallop. Ordered asparagus on side which was also good. They had some nice looking deserts but was too full and passed this time. Most frustrating part os that they packed up the leftovers only so that i could forget them there. Argh. Hate it when that happens.

I came to chop house with high expectations. They have an excellent aesthetic but I was overall disappointed with their porterhouse and their sides. The porterhouse was ordered medium rare. They did not mess up on the cook temp. But it was under seasoned. I had to ask for salt to get any flavor. I believe it is because lots of people order sauces with their steaks here. We also ordered the sautéed mushrooms, mashed potatoes, potato gratin, and the creamed spinach. Both potatoes were also under seasoned. Not sure if i would come back unless someone invited me here.

Way overpriced for portions and my lobster was super over cooked. Steak was great and brussel sprouts are amazing. Other than that nothing was really great or special. 2 drinks, 1 app, 2 entrees was $250. I couldn't even drink my drink because it was awful....I really wanted to love this place but was just disappointed
