I just hope an upcoming experience at Lobster Bar is not as disappointing. The fact is after the fire they had a chance to come back with something really special and instead they blew it, and we won’t be back. A week ago I had dinner at Gibson Steakhouse in Chicago and the experience I enjoyed there and what I had tonight at CHOPS, were as different as night and day. The other sides we ordered such as the brussels sprouts, the tater tots, asparagus, and the lobster mash should not be considered shareable as they all seemed much smaller portions than what we are used to receiving at other fine steakhouses in Atlanta and Chicago, and they were all served lukewarm at best. For an entree we ordered a medium rare fillet that I was sharing with my wife, and it was cooked medium to medium well. We also ordered the onion rings, which were as good as they have been in the past and were one of the few highlights of the evening. I personally started with an order of calamari, and it was half the serving size for considerably more money than you previously paid and received at the Buckhead Diner. I would’ve thought when they redid the restaurant they would’ve paid special attention to the restrooms but apparently not as some of the latches on the doors aren’t even working. Next at 6 o’clock, the women decided to visit the women’s restroom and it was so terrible that I had to let a waiter know that it needed attention. Although the two servers we had were very good it wasn’t what we expected. That was the first surprise this evening. First, I had requested a certain waiter for this evening and even though I confirm that yesterday, when I showed up, they told me Tom was working a private party. For the last several years, I’ve been visiting the Lobster Bar and not CHOPS but I came to see what’s changed after the fire and instead of being “wowed” I walked away the most disappointed I’ve ever been at a Buckhead life restaurant.
