The Chop House on Washington St. in Huntsville, AL, I would not consider to currently be in the Top 10. I have eaten at every single place listed in the Top 10 and I agree with most of your choices, however the Chop House is not what it used to be. My husband and I have eaten there many, many times from the day they openend their door to now. We had not eaten at the Chop House in about one year merely due to the several other locations we enjoy and due to travel, but for Valentine's Day 2009 we decided to return to one of our favorite places to enjoy what we thought (based on past experiences) would be an excellent meal. It was nothing but a tragedy. The salad, the appetizer, the old bread, and the main course (one of which was the special of the evening) were all poorly done. It disappointed us greatly because we had enjoyed the restaurant for so long and have enjoyed it with many friends in the past. To have such a poor experience and on such a romantic evening has really turned us off to ever returning there. Not only the food, but the manager on duty that night was terrible as well. When he came to speak to us we told him (very graciously and politely) of our unhappiness with the meal. His response was nothing; he said nothing to us, he never apologized and just merely scooped up the food and walked away. It was only when the waiter came back out that we found out our food would be free. The manager gave us an appropriate result and the right one for any unsatisfied customer at a restaurant, however he posessed very poor personal skills. I will tell you for background that we never send food back unless it is grossly undercooked or overcooked or there is something terribly wrong with it; the food we got there that night was all of those things.
ReplyDeleteWe have since passed on our poor experience with everyone we know. The meal and experience can be excused but the manager's poor attitude cannot be. We felt as though it was our fault the food was terrible and undercooked as opposed to him wanting to take any responsibility about his kitchen's poor performance that evening. And it's not just us...several others around us sent things back as well--even a salad.
