    We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Cole’s Chop House! We were able to move our reservation time to better accommodate our day as it was unfolding and the hostess who answered the phone was friendly and helpful. Upon arrival we were cheerfully greeted and seated. Our server was outstanding, the food was excellent and the ambiance was great. Steaks were so juicy and cooked to perfection as were the sides. I would highly recommend this restaurant.
