Just flew in from AR. Spending the night at the adjoining Hilton and the guy at the desk recommended the restaurant. I always like room service when I'm out of town in a new place - let's me relax before having to go out and about. Ordered: 8oz fillet; 1/2 order mashed potatoes; 1/2 order asperagus; creme brulee; iced tea. Pros: Huge portions, tasty steak; creme brulee very good Cons: Main course didn't come with sides - for a $40 steak - you should get sides; more expensive than I had planned on. Recommendation: If you are staying around the area and don't mind paying for sides, it is definately good food and filling as well.

Staff was excellent. Food was great. Nice quiet relaxing diner. Definitely loved the trio sides. It was nice to try different items.

This restaurant is located in the lobby of the Hilton hotel and serves also as the bar for the property. Although I have eaten in the restaurant, this review is mainly for the bar, which is a little more casual even though it is a little small for the crowd it usually packs in. The restaurant serves your typical steakhouse fare with attentive service and excellent food. However, it is definitely pricey. The bar has more casual food at more reasonable prices (at least for a hotel restaurant). I have found the atmosphere to be fun, the drinks cold, the service attentive, and the food tasty. Although the restaurant does not offer valet parking, there is a covered parking deck behind the hotel. By walking through the hotel lobby, you can avoid the harsh Minneapolis winter and prevent having to scrape your windshield after dinner. Check out the restaurant if you are looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion. Check out the bar if you are looking for a nice place to meet a client for happy hour or if you are staying in the hotel.

Great place to meet clients for happy hour. Good selection of beer and appetizers. The service was good. Rebecca made sure no one had an empty glass. I decided to stay for dinner. Tried the cured bacon appetizer, it was awesome. Had the filet and was cooked perfectly and tasted great. I would definitely go back for happy hour or dinner.
(5)Blake C.
I have really liked the food and time each visit to the bar. My last few times for lunch have been non memorable.
(3)Barbara D.
Employer had staff party here. Was great! Service perfect. Top shelf bar. Steak huge and delicious. Presentation excellent. Dessert so good but I was so full could only eat half.
(4)Tom M.
The service was not rushed. The best part of the meal was the Salad, I got a 10 oz Filet. First thing is I can tell by the lack of firmness that this is not free range beef. There was no muscle tone to the meat at all. Normally indicating that these are feed lot beef. The second issue was the stake was not cooked well. With something this think it should have been dry boiled prior to attempting to grill it. I ordered it medium since this would be a thicker cut of meat and normally it is expected to be under cooked enough that you get medium rare. What I got, the outside was carboned, and the inside was rare. I did not finish my steak. The sauteed onions and mushrooms were a bit on the mushy and cool side, like they may have been prepared well in advance. I paid my full bill of over $60 and left a good tip for the waitress as it was not her fault. I spoke with the host and explained that I felt the person that did the grilling may need a bit more training. I give an extra start (now 2) because the staff did imediatly attempt to take it off my bill. I explained that I did not want to say anything until after I paid, because I did not want anyone thinking I was just looking for a discount. It annoys me when I see others complaining just to get a free meal. Your mileage may very. I do believe that they will attempt to improve on the grilling of the meat. I do hope that they work with their vendor to get a bit better quality of meat, because what they are advertising and what is being served is not the same. If I was to guess, I would say it is not the restaurant's fault for the meat quality but more likely the supplier is cutting corners. Staff was excellent.

Bloomington ChopHouse is a pretty solid option for upscale dining. I dined here with a friend and we just sat in the bar area, which still serves the full menu, so that was cool with us. The service was great, our waitress was really attentive, informative, and didn't hover at all. I got the salmon, and my friend had a steak. We split a side of asparagus as well. We were served a bread plate with a few butter/spread options which were all excellent. I really appreciate a bread basket from restaurants and their's didn't disappoint. I thoroughly enjoyed my salmon, I would say it was one of the best salmon plates I have ever had. The salmon itself literally melted in my mouth and it was served on a bed of greens with a perfect, tasty sauce. I would order it again in a heartbeat. Even though I typically do not get filled to the brim from fish the way I would from steak, I was not able to finish the huge portion they gave me. Even though it is a pricey dish, you definitely get your money's worth. My friend had a steak which he really enjoyed. The asparagus was good, nothing special or different, but solid and tasty. I would definitely recommend it if you are willing to drop some hefty change on a meal. The food is worth the price, in my opinion.
(4)Jeff S.
I will start by noting that this is a hotel restaurant. It is in the lobby of the Hilton. It is certainly one of the better hotel restaurants that I have been to. The good: Lamb was excellent. As good as any top steakhouse. Dips with bread were great. Homemade sorbet was fresh and unique. The bad: The pork chop was just average. The fish was about the same. The blah: The service is overly friendly, but slow. The staff could not have been nicer, but nothing was done at even average speed. Things like drink refills would take forever and glasses would sit empty. Overall: Great for a hotel restaurant, especially if you are not in a rush.

I've eaten here five times, and even if I wasn't staying at the Hilton I would come here to dine: amazingly high quality prime steaks and exquisite seafood (not inexpensive, BTW...) plus well-prepared sides. I'm trying hard to contain myself at the moment as I wipe driplets of drool off my chin --because-- I'll be eating here again tonight after a month hiatus. Food: classic selection of USDA beef (Choice or Prime, it's hard to tell) , just about any cut you would want, including bone-in ribeyes (hello!), porterhouses, veal chops, et al. You want it Blackened? Oscar style (crab,asparagus, bernaise)? Crumbled bleu? Burgundy 'shrooms and onions? check, check,check, and check. Salmon, Chilean sea bass, Halibut, Ahi tuna? Oh yes they've got it, and it's all fresh; I can attest to that. Great selection of breads and 3 complimentary spreads to start your dinner. Great Caesar salad; always large portions of very good sides (FYI, all sides are a la carte), all of which are up to their high standards as well. Bottom Line: In a veritable desert of mediocre hotel restaurants, The Chophouse is an oasis of standout food, great presentation, and smart design. Very nice dining environment; wait service has been good to excellent every single time, and the manager almost always checks on his diners, going from table to table. Hard to believe a a restaurant of this caliber is situated in a hotel, even though it is a Hilton hotel. No rubbery chicken fingers and last week's lettuce served here. The Chophouse absolutely deserves 4-5 stars. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
(5)Cherrelle J.
I wouldn't go back here if someone paid me. Resaurant was not busy whatsoever, yet service was slow - nearly 20 minutes just have have our server take a drink order. The steaks both came out extremely over cooked and crab and asparagus were cold. Highly disappointed.
(1)Brad S.
One word... Overpriced! The menu is unimaginative. I had the salmon and it was ordinary. Not recommended.
(1)Brigitt M.
Mediocre at best. My chophouse salad was wet and not fresh. My friend had fish tacos with a sauce that was badly paired with the fish. The bread was the only thing anyone really liked in earnest. The service was slow, too. I wouldn't return.
(2)Milan S.
Chop salad was a surprise but a pleasant one. Steak was more medium than medium rare but not enough to send back. Mentioning to waitress resulted I free dessert. Verne brûlée was cool and creamy on the bottom, warm and crispy on top. Yum!
(4)Rae B.
Nothing to rave over - except for the service, but there were only two other tables being serviced. Over priced; and ala carte.
(2)Amy F.
The TL;DR is that it's expensive, the service was poor, and the food was just okay EXCEPT the desserts, which were excellent. Eat in the bar, it's cheaper and friendlier and has the same desserts! We arrived New Years Eve at 8:20 for an 8:30 reservation and were told it would be 15 minutes. Fine, that's expected, we were happy to wait in the bar. Twenty minutes later, my husband went to check on our table and was told it would be at least fifteen minutes longer. At this point I was annoyed and hungry, but we decided not to order at the bar and just wait. But I started looking at the bar menu, and it looked excellent! The people next to us had arrived about ten minutes after us and their food arrived at that point and looked and smelled amazing. Hungry, pregnant, and annoyed, I asked my husband to check on the table again after another ten minutes had passed. At this point, they said it would be another fifteen to twenty minutes because there were a few people still ahead of us. My husband was now annoyed as well. Forty-five minutes after our reservation time, at 9:15, we were seated and then ignored for an additional fifteen minutes. Our waiter seemed annoyed and stressed, and after dropping off our menus we didn't see him again. On of the three hosts from the front podium ended up taking our orders, and food was delivered by a different person each course. We did not get bread until between the second and third course. My water glass was empty for a while. And the food came out way too fast after our order. For one thing, this meant the spacing between courses was rushed. For another, they obviously didn't cook things carefully enough. My crab cake was under-seasoned, lukewarm and mushy, it needed to be cooked longer. The tuna was so heavily seasoned that you couldn't taste tuna. My mashed potatoes were pasty and unappealing. The steaks were fine, nothing special. And the salads were incredibly over-dressed. Finally, dessert came. It was heavenly! The cheesecake was probably the best I've ever tasted, and the raspberry torte was phenomenal! Redeemed the whole experience up to two stars. The set menu price of $55 was fair given the amount of food. The meal itself was promising, just obviously rushed and not well QA'd. The service was AWFUL, especially for an establishment in this price range. Bread should have arrived promptly, water glasses should never have been empty, and waitstaff should at the very least be polite and smile. I don't want to hear my waiter cussing angrily under his breathe as he walks by, ignoring us! They were clearly poorly managed (only two waiters for the whole joint on NYE? Really?) and the hosts were poorly trained (if it's going to be more than a half hour wait, just fucking tell us so we can grab dinner somewhere else, like the half-empty bar!).

First visit to Bloomington Chop House, w a Living Social voucher for 3-course dinner w wine. The evening was sublime! Started with the cheese-plate app to share, paired w a glass of nice rosé. Followed w a salad course: spouse enjoyed a Caesar while I selected the beet and blue cheese salad. Both salads were delicious, very fresh, generous, and accompanied by red wine. For entrées, spouse chose pork tenderloin and I had steak. Both cuts were cooked to perfection, accompanied by nicely seasoned fresh vegetables, and a glass of full-bodied red wine Our server, Gayle, was very friendly, efficient, and helpful in guiding our choices. Would definitely return. The restaurant is conveniently located in the Bloomington Hilton at Hwy 494 and France Ave.
(5)Liz B.
Here's what I had for dinner: 1. Free bread with 3 choices of spreads: cheese, crushed yummy olives, and butter (This was the highlight of my dinner experience at the Chop House. LOVE the freshly baked bread.) 2. Appetizer - Crab cake (Good, spicy sauce. Crab meat was not fresh.) 3. Entrée - Filet in Medium (Eh. Filet was just okay. The deep fried mashed potato is a no-no.) 4. Dessert - Lava chocolate cake (Ice cream on the side was too sweet. Tastes like something they bought from Cub Foods. There was supposed to be melted chocolate oozing out of the cake, but they forgot about it. The server knew and didn't bother replacing it.) Don't go here. Try Murray's instead. It sounds like a better deal even though I've never been. I feel like I can get a better, faster service at TGI Friday's, honestly. Service was really slow guys. We were there for 2 and a half hours and it wasn't because we wanted to stay there that long. The entrées took a long time so they kept serving us bread (which I didn't mind btw, they were fresh). But still. Overall, I feel like you can find a much better steak restaurant elsewhere.
(3)Harold B.
Ate here when I stayed at the Hilton, also had my meal in the bar, so I can't say that it's a fully qualified review of the restaurant. Had the salmon which I liked a lot along with a side of spinach and sauteed mushrooms. Both of the sides were good, and all the servings were extremely large. I did not finish the salmon or the sides... simply too much food. Wine in the bar is excellent. I was also fortunate to be there when they were doing a wine tasting/training for the staff and they let me try one of the higher end cabs -- which was absolutely fantastic. All and all, a solid steak place that seems to do good business. Service was ok, nothing to write a review online about.
(4)Matt H.
Truly some of the better meals I've had in the twin cities. I've sampled stuff on the menu from the Ny strip, Lobster, mac and cheese, the house salad and even burgers. The calamari is my favorite though. Tried finding calamari as good in many spots in the twin cities and even around the country. Haven't found it. Definitely a place to try if you have not yet.
(5)Jon C.
Good happy hour specials and great tasting appetizers in the bar area. Have not had dinner there yet, but lunches have been very good. Nice new alternative to Kincaid's and Ciao Bella along the Bloomington stretch of 494. I've only had one incident of slow service, but it was acknowledged by the restaurant (which was nice).
(4)Cristine H.
New restaurant inside the new Hilton Hotel in Bloomington. Located on the corner of France and American Boulevard. Restaurant is still fairly new so the service is a bit choppy. The menu is very similar to that of Ruth Chris Steak House or any high end steak themed restaurant. Menu is pricey. I had the salmon dish which was good but the mustard sauce on top could have been eliminated. I think it overpowered the fish. My husband had the small cut filet mignon and it was fantastic. Everything on the menu is a la carte. They have a very good wine list. A nice place to take out of town guests. But wait a few months until they work out the kinks in their service.
(3)Mark C.
I've been to this undiscovered Twin City "find" twice for lunch, once for dinner, and a bunch of times for happy hour snacks. All three times my meal stated with really good breads and 3 spreads, of which the "crushed olive something or other" is absolutely amazing. Might be worth going there for that alone... ;) Burgers are top notch and steak is what its known for. The service can be spotty, depending on who you have and seems a little tension in the bar sometimes, but overall its a good place to stop by if you have an inkling for good quality food and a nice atmosphere...
(4)Sir C.
I was traveling on business and was looking for a quick and nice meal. I was staying at the Hilton here, which happens to be connected to the ChopHouse. Not much to say about this place since it is your average steak house. It mainly caters to business travelers I'm assuming. I ordered the Salmon filet and it was a great choice. The portion was the most enormous I have had anywhere else! It was grilled and served on a bed of sauteed spinach. Price was not too bad also. All in all, it was a good experience. Nothing to rant or rave about though.
(3)J T.
here with a group of about 20. They did a great job with service. Heard no complaints with the food. I had the dry aged ribeye, cesar, scallops, and side of the red demi. Steak was cooked to a good med-rare as ordered. I would have liked a little more char on it did taste well. Red demi was good and scallops were perfectly seared, seasoned and tasty. We also had some oysters. They were fresh and tasted great. The service was good, and they did a good job of keeping up with our large group.

After finding out that I was going to be in Bloomington for work, the first two things I did was 1) sign up for the Minneapolis Groupon email and 2) pull up Yelp to find out where I wanted to stay and what I wanted to eat while I was there. I booked my stay at the Hilton and then just two days later saw the Groupon for the Chop House; it was meant to be! After reading all the reviews and then eating there myself I have to say that the MN Yelpers were right on the money! I went with a few co-workers for dinner the first night we arrived in town. The bread at the beginning of the meal was great. That blue cheese cream cheese was fantastic . . . more please! The sun dried tomato spread was good too. I would have had more bread if it was there, probably better that it wasn't. Server was very nice, when he was there. Kept checking on us out-of-towers while we were deciding on our order. We were pretty chatty and it took us a while to order, he was very patient. When we finally did place our order, it was a little on the slow side getting to the table, but good food takes time, right. Don't go when you're in a hurry and it's fine. We had plenty of time to chat and catch up. I go the ahi tuna and it was very nicely seared, however I didn't taste much seasoning. I loved the wasabi sauce that came with it, so I just used that to flavor it up. The sides are HUGE. Twice baked potato was more than enough for four people. The dessert special was a strawberry champagne trifle. Very light and a nice way to finish the meal. If I didn't have the Groupon and if the company wasn't paying, I don't think I would come back unless it was a special occasion. A little expensive for this Phoenix girl.

I have had the opportunity to eat at this restaurant on a few occaisions. Everytime I am there the service is poor at best, certainly not worthy of the price of their food. The wait staff seems to be out of sinc with the delivery of the courses and the bar orders are always delayed. The steaks are average, I would expect better presentation for the $35 to $40 price. The free bread with the different butters is a nice touch but not what I go to a place like this for. The side orders leave a lot to be desired. I have had the Lobster Mac a couple of times and every time it tastes like yesterdays. We have asked for hash browns, which are not on the menu, they say they can make them and then they appear and are worse than what I do at home, burnt, dry and very small - served on a salad plate. I have to say it would be nice to have a great steak place in Bloomington but this one just doesn't do it.
(1)kiki d.
I agree with Liz B. that the free bread was amazing. I love free, I love freshly baked bread, and I love spreads, so this was a great start to the meal. If I'd been staying in the hotel, my review would have been that it was a convenient, good-enough meal for an okay price. Given that I wasn't staying at the hotel, and drove out of my way for this meal, I was less impressed. At this price point, I expect either really good food or something special about the experience. Here I got neither. It was an okay meal in an unusual location with okay service and okay ambiance.
(3)Grace Y.
Delicious. and Expensive. Thank god it was a company dinner, as it came out to $250 without tip for 4 people [and we didn't get dessert]. The oysters were unbelievable. I couldn't stop shoving them in my mouth, and at $14 for 3, it would have been cheaper for me to literally stuff money down my gullet instead. Bread was delicious, and they gave you butter, sundried tomatoes and bleu cheese as spreads. I ate 3 pieces, and of course became totally full before my steak even came. I got the smallest cut, an 8 oz filet. Normally, I like the first few bites of steak but then it becomes a bit of a workout for my mouth. Not this time. My steak was so soft and tender it was unbelievable. I silently cursed myself for stuffing myself with empty carbs and letting half of my delicious piece of cow go to waste. Sides were okay, we got the mashed potatoes and they weren't anything incredible. Another reviewer wrote that if you love butter you'll love this place, and it must be true, because I love butter more than anything and this meal made my heart flutter. It's either love or the beginnings of a fat induced heart attack. Our waitress was really cool, but I would be too if I knew I was going to make $60 off one table. PS - there are coupon books at the front desk where if you get an entree, you can get a free appetizer or dessert. Of course I found it 7 minutes after we left.
(5)Jenny M.
Snow, candlelight, a good dirty martini and brussel sprouts. Those are my first impressions of the Chophouse, and it was a good first impression. My first restaurant choice is never a steakhouse, but we were staying in the hotel the restaurant is housed in and after a 8 hour drive just didn't feel like braving the elements to find food. So why not go downstairs and eat at the restaurant in residence. It ended up being a nice experience with great service & good food. If we were in the area again or staying at the hotel I would't mind having a meal there again. Yes, they do drown everything in butter, but I love butter. Especially the blue cheese butter they serve with the bread. YUM!
(3)Austin W.
If you like butter you'll love this place. I don't think steak/lamb chops at this price point need to be drowned in butter to taste good. Unfortunately the chef here thinks so. The sides were also loaded in butter even he mushrooms and the green beans. Maybe I'm too biased against traditional steak houses like this one, but I just don't think a steak dinner needs to be so heavy.
(2)Thomas C.
This is not the best steak I have had, but by far not the worst. The staff was friendly and the service was top notch. But I did find it a little pricy for the quality. I walked in with 2 others, no reservations, and was seated right away. But I did get the impression that they would like you to reserve a table. The booths are not the most comfy for a bigger guy, suggest a table.
(4)Wendy H.
Thanksgiving buffet was FANTASTIC! Best one ive ever been to. Was a Real Treat to hâve no Prep or Cleanup as Well. Will définately do This Again.
(5)Ashley F.
So this is a "Suburban Four Stars", meaning this, I was pretty close to satisfied with the meal, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go there. We went to Bloomington Chop House because we got the Groupon for $20 for a $60 gift certificate. The free bread was great. The service was alright, our waiter assistant would have made a better server. Although there were many front tables and booths availiable, we got stuck at a back table in a corner, which kind of sucked. The Wagyu Beef Carpaccio was nothing to write home about. I got a special, six oz. Filet and Scallops, mashed potatoes and asparagus. The scallops were TERRIBLE. Overcooked, and gritty. But I mentioned this to the waiter, and he got them redone. They were perfect the second time around, and the manager came to ask me about them as well. The filet, on the other hand, was delicious. This was a great meal for what we paid with the Groupon, but since the prices are similar to the Oceanaire without the Groupon, I don't think we will be back.
