Arroyo Chop House is an exquisite and savory dining experience. The servers are very knowledgeable and friendly. Any menu item is elegantly presented in a timely fashion. The bar is first rate, too. This establishment is perfect for a special occasion, business dinner, or nice night out. I highly recommend Arroyo Chop House!

Everything what you expect from a steakhouse was provided to the best customer satisfaction. From, the atmosphere you can tell it’s a place to have enjoyment, but can also be quiet or be loud as you want. The service was absolute amazing, hands-down! From the very beginning to the very end, our wages paid attention to detail on everything we ordered provided drinks with our meals and even asked us for recommendations. Onto to the food everything was so delicious except for the tomahawk unfortunately, this was more on the medium than medium rare, which was totally unexpected given, the prestige Arroyo Chophouse is.

The filet mignon was perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. We shared several sides and not one missed the mark. The truffle mac and cheese was rich without being heavy. The garlic mashed potatoes were velvety smooth. The Brussels sprouts had just the right char with crispy bacon for balance. Even the asparagus had a nice snap and vibrant flavor. The garlic sourdough bread came out warm and fresh, and I started with an espresso martini that was spot on. Our server, Christopher, was exceptional. He recommended a beautiful glass of Cabernet that paired perfectly with the steak. He was attentive without being overbearing and really elevated the experience. For dessert, we had the chocolate soufflé and they surprised me with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and raspberry drizzle to celebrate. A thoughtful touch! The service, ambiance, and food were all on point. Whether you’re celebrating or just craving a great steakhouse experience, this is one of those places worth coming back to. Easily five stars.

Went for a bday party for a dear friend and enjoyed the service. The food was top tier and the drinks were on point. Great for mid size groups too.

Amazing experience. Everything was incredible, the food, the service, and the ambiance. It was very dimly lit offering a very intimate atmosphere perfect for date night or any occasion. The steak was perfectly seasoned and delicious. I have never had butter that was this spreadable.

The steak was very good. But pricey. Any and all sides are ala cart and a bit pricey as well. I got a steak and a loaded baked potato with an iced tea. $137 plus tip. It was very loud because a few people in the restaurant apparently love attention and they were talking so loud and laughing really loud. Two separate tables in two different sections. Even other people at other tables were looking due to how loud and obnoxious this lady was one section over from me…. I had stereo loudness since the 1 guy with three other guys apparently liked attention too on the other side of me. I tried to just tune it all out but it was very hard. If you want a quiet dinner, count this one out. I think the restaurant should let diners know when they are getting a little too loud. Even though the steak was decent, I make one just as good at home and for much less!

Really enjoyed the overall experience — food was good, drinks could use some work, ordered a dry martini and wished it was a little better —— service and atmosphere were brilliant - good quality steak. Would recommend a visit
