We were looking for a more traditional steak house experience and were very happy. Steak was perfectly cooked to order, they delivered perfect medium and medium rare. The entree prices seem a little high until you see that it includes soup or salad. Great service, great ambiance, we will go back.

Really blown away by this place. Our server was also so great but unfortunately I have forgotten her name. The food was excellent. We ordered several items to share and everything was as good as the last. I also enjoyed one of the signature cocktails and it was perfection. Will return many times I’m sure.

CHOP was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. All of this quality comes with energetic rooms, stylish décor, and an award winning patio accompanied by friendly hospitality. Located in the heart of the Vaughan Colossus entertainment area - we are open for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late-night!

Great service. Server was very attentive. Each time she walked by, she glanced at our table and inquired if anything was needed. The food was great and was reasonably priced. We liked the ambience. We will return.

Outstanding food and a memorable evening. I recently attended the Christmas Day Dinner Buffet which exceed all expectations. Everything was so fresh and what an amazing selection. From the chilled crab claws, jumbo shrimp, bay scallop salad and smoked applewood salmon to the hot traditional turkey with stuffing, citrus dill salmon, mussels in a creamy wine sauce... they were all to die for. And, then where to start with the dessert... the chocolate lava cakes, mousse in cocktail glasses, tiramisu and many tiny cakes... even the cookies were are all not only pleasing to the eye, but so tasty. I ate way too much, didn't try it all and it was soooo hard to choose what to eat as it all looked so good and did not disappoint. Oh, there was prime rib as well as a cheese tray, grilled vegetables and charcuterie board that looked amazing. It was a pleasure to meet and see and talk to the chef who overseeing his scrumptious food. Service was great, plates cleared right away. It was my first time here and I'll definitely be back. I most definitely recommend. Craft cocktails were great and can't wait to try their regular menu.
