Chops features an excellent selection of American, Japanese and Australian “butcher shop” cuts.
For starters I can recommend the Big Bacon. This appetizer features chunks of cherrywood smoked pork belly in a champagne vinaigrette and garnished with candied jalapeños.
Where salads are concerned try the stacked heirloom tomatoes. This dish includes roasted red onions, arugula, thick cut bacon, blue cheese, topped with a chocolate balsamic vinaigrette. This is a chef’s favorite menu item. If oysters are on your mind, try the Oysters on Ice. This is a flight of mixed coast oysters with a house made cocktail sauce, citrus and Tabasco, shaved ice and a cucumber vodka mignonette.
This is the restaurant where you want to order beef and you can’t go wrong with their Wagyu. They offer both domestic and imported Wagyu from Japan and Australia. If you want a sauce for your entree I can recommend two – the white truffle bearnaise and the top shelf Au Poivre. If you are having a great steak my choice of a side would be their creamed spinach – Delicious.
I love “a deal” and Chops has nightly specials. Every night, from a pre-selected menu, you can experience a 2-course meal, (appetizer and entree) for $50 per person along with 30% off all bottles of wine. The other “deal” that I am crazy about is Shellfish Monday. Chops serves fresh plump oysters and cocktail shrimp for $2 each.
In writing this review I am convinced where I want to go to dinner tonight – Chops.
The Chops City Grill is located at 8200 Health Center Blvd., Bonita Springs, FL 34135, (239) 992-4677.
