OLD BREA CHOP HOUSE

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here it was really nice. The ambiance was very romantic and warm. The service was great! The staff was very tentative to our needs and came to check up on us very often. We waited for 40 minutes since we didn't have a reservation. It was no issue since we walked around the shopping center. We ordered the gnocchi and sirloin steaks since it was our first time. The gnocchi was delicious it was very creamy and savory! I definitely recommend it. The sirloin steak was good I had it medium rare. I do have to say that the sides are family size so keep that in mind for those who don't eat much. Will definitely come back.

I've been here many times to wine and dine clients for lunch. This evening was different. We came to celebrate a dear friend's 40th birthday. 4 adults, 3 children. We balled out! Cocktails, food and service are top notch! Must try staples to try are the New Orleans BBQ shrimp, Bacon Steak and their sides! The Chefs Cut Rib Eye Cap is exceptional! For dessert: Butter Cake!

Great ambience, the BEST service, Amazing food, had the best Old fashioned and Brussel sprouts, Sea bass was really good and was comparable to other top restaurants. Oysters were on point. Definitely going back to have their old fashioned and try out other menus!

We got the bread plate, brocollini, Mac and cheese with lobster, rib eye cap, Scottish salmon and butter cake. That was all certainly enough for three people. Two of us shared the ribeye and half the salmon was eaten. We all shared everything else. The sides are family style so keep that in mind. The brocollini was delicious. Crispy but full of flavor. I’d say the Mac and cheese was good but not spectacular. Ribeye was great as well as the salmon and butter cake. I will say it’s pricey for what it is. For any more special occasion (hosting someone in town or celebrating a birthday or anniversary) I would go back!

When we first walked in, we were excited. At first glance, this restaurant showed sophistication and promise. It has a very cool like new York or Chicago feeling ambiance, very moody and rich, with dark accents and lighting. The food is good. We ordered the rib eye sandwiches and a lobster grilled cheese. Our rib eye sandwich was tasty. We were expecting a sliced steak but what we got was shaved steak. Might have missed that description on the menu. If so, my bad. However, for a $24 price point per sandwich, it could have been better perhaps. The lobster grilled cheese came recommended by our server but we would not recommend it. Lobster was perhaps overly fishy tasting. As for drinks, I ordered the old brea old fashioned. It was very good and worth the price of $17. Last for our meal was dessert. We enjoyed the desserts. We tried a selection of desserts: warm butter cake, creme brulee, and the sorbet trio. The warm butter cake was delicious, and the sorbets were pretty good. The creme brulee was just okay. There were some other things that made our experience less than 5-star. First off, the owner or manager (I'm assuming. He had a laptop at the bar and was showing the hosts something on the laptop) was on his phone and talking business maybe like 6 feet from our booth. At the time of his call, the restaurant wasnt that full so we could hear his whole conversation and he was leaning against a wall and facing us for most of his call, making us feel like we were part of his work call. Additionally, this restaurant does staged courses, meaning they swap out your utensils for each course. That's fine, makes it feel fancy. However, our server did kind of awkwardly reach across us to get the silverware and a bit quick to reach for our plate assuming we were finished. So that felt a bit, brusque. Another thing is that the kitchen is open toward the restaurant. The kitchen was a bit cluttered and messy looking and off to the side were stacks of cardboard boxes of kitchen stuff or supplies, really detracting from what would have been a cool feature of seeing the kitchen. Then the booth we sat at, there was a host/server station right behind our seat. The restaurant is on the small side so I understand that space is limited. However, it felt kind of weird to all of a sudden hear the servers working stuff out right at my ear pretty much. And then last thing, the lighting of our booth, on one of the seats, the ceiling light shines directly on you sitting there like a spotlight. If that could be addressed that'd be great. So, in conclusion, this restaurant has great promise, especially if the above are addressed. It'll still be on the pricier side, but with the ambiance (minus the detractions) of this restaurant, it could be a place to come back to. As for us, we are on the fence if we want to give this spot another chance.

Obviously everything on the menu here is amazing. But to my surprise, my Bestie and I ordered the cauliflower steaks. And I am telling you wow I have never been so impressed with a side dish absolutely amazing. I must order yourself a favor and enjoy this extremely flavorful dish. Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of it, but you can only imagine I was too busy enjoying it !

My first time here tonight and it was amazing. I came to celebrate my 40th birthday and this place did not disappoint. The service was amazing, the food was so good, and the restaurant was beautiful. I highly recommend this restaurant for a date night or special occasion! It's pricey but worth it for sure.

This place is was amazing. We hung out at the bar waiting for our crew to show up. The bartenders were attentive and the drinks were all really well made… As for the main course everything we ordered was really good. We tried the Tomahawk and a 10oz filet, both were great choices.. my favorite was the battered shrimp were as big as my hand….
