Best Steak in Florida!. I was visiting friends in Florida, and they mentioned that they wanted a good steak. Since I'm from Atlanta, I knew that a company from up here had some restaurants in S. FL. Sure enough, Chops Lobster Bar was definitely worth the 40 minute drive to get there. We had made reservations (a good bet!) and they had our table waiting.

Our server anticipated our every need and made great recommendations on everything from the cocktails to wine to food. The "Gold Digger" Martini is a playful cocktail and really tasty. All of their drinks sounded great. Then, the table picked a nice red wine to complement the steaks we all ordered. We never had to lift a finger and our wine / water glasses were never close to empty.

I had the fried lobster tail (a favorite at some of their Atlanta locations) and it was everything I remembered. Crispy, not greasy at all, and the lobster was juicy and succulent. Then, I had a filet mignon with creamed spinach and mashed corn. It was all perfectly prepared the way I ordered it.

I was stuffed, but managed to eat a few bites of the molten lava cake and it was SO good. Crisp on the outside and lava-y on the inside. Served with pistachio ice cream it was worth every calorie.

I'd go back as often as I'm in town and would tell all my friends if they're in the area, it's a MUST. It's not inexpensive, for sure, but a really good value for what you get.
