    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.

    We arrived early before our 5.30 reservations and we’re greeted by one of the waiters and he was seated at the beautiful outdoor fireplace where we ordered drinks. The waiters gave us plenty of time to enjoy the outdoor patio then later seated us at our table next to the large fireplace. The food was incredible, especially the aged ribeye steak, which I never had. Everyone in our group was extremely satisfied with their food and the service was excellent. Can’t say enough about the place and look forward to coming back again.
