1818 Chophouse

Great for gluten free.

Im gonna be brutally honest here. I didn't pay for my food. My boss paid for our office to eat dinner here during the Christmas season last year as a gift (super nice of him) I have a culinary degree and have worked in high end kitchens and country clubs. This place is downright silly. The prices are absolutely wild for what you're getting here. Upwards of 100 bucks a head for "dinner" which amounts to an overpriced steak that MIGHT be cooked to the temp you ordered (6/9 correct temps at our table) and literally mashed potatoes. The steak comes with an embarrassing balsamic drizzle because apparently for top tier billing and meat quality they cant spare the standard of demi or at least a sauce made from a pretentious wine of some expensive variety. No you get balsamic syrup which can be bought at your local grocery store. Then if you have the wallet for an add-on like scallops ( we made the move since boss was paying) you get overcooked scallops in a warm liquid with NO SEAR. Freakin kyoto down the road nails scallops better than this line. Also you can tell them you're gluten intolerant but youd be wasting your time. Our managers wife was made sick due to non compliance or just a general lack of professionalism. I didnt even pay for this meal and my wife and i walked away feeling insulted by the price. Will definitely be voting for somewhere different this year and honestly whether im paying or not, if the consensus is 1818 again i will politely skip out. Prices are insulting for this food. Server was an absolute gentleman and was about as attentive as should be expected. Ambiance is gorgeous and the bartenders are kind and professional. Everyone looks great and FOH is a pretty tight ship. No idea what in gods name is happening BOH. Good god pricing elasticity was taken advantage of here. Philly cheesesteak soup? What in the progresso.....come on thats not how we handle trim at this level guys.
