Sublime wagyu steak and proper thick-cut chips.

We had a really nice meal to celebrate a birthday. Marcia, our waitress, was excellent, I cannot commend her highly enough for looking after us during our meal here. The food was also excellent.

Update: now a vegetarian, I wasn't expecting to find much here. They have some options but as expected this wouldn't be a place to visit for vegetarian food. The booking was for mother's day and I was happy to try their non-meat options.The staff were lovely. It's the little touches like given a flower when greeted. The waiters and waitresses were attentive but not overbearing. Toilets for the most part we're fairly clean (I must have visited a cubicle after a child) but I've been before and they're fine.For Sunday lunch, I had the vegetarian option, a cauliflower steak, but it didn't look like one I've had before. It was a chunk of cauliflower, but I find it hard to believe it was worth £17.50. The potatoes were stale compared to the meat eaters (probably cooked in a different oil, partner tasted and confirmed it was different). Yorkshire pudding, might have just been coincidence, also burnt around the edges, dry on the inside. Vegetables (greens, carrots, parsnips) were lovely, gravy was okay. Overall the food was nice and I'd probably try something else if we were to go again.I didn't complain mainly because we had a lovely time, they treated us well, and I could not have expected more from a place that serves predominantly meat. I'm glad they were able to seat us on Mother's Day and all the meat eaters enjoyed their meals.Note for accessibility (if this helps): There is a step leading up to the entrance. We were seated downstairs. I would recommend letting the staff know when booking if you're requesting a seat on the ground floor as seating there is quite limited. The ladies toilets were downstairs right at the end of the seating area, there are a few steps on the lower level to get there. I didn't see a bathroom on the ground floor so apologies if I missed that.Original review: Really nice food, a starter platter to share, probably quite a lot for two people but there was a variety of things which was ideal as we weren't sure what to expect. The main courses were quite heavy in top of the sharing platter we had to start with. Quite pricey (even for Cambridge) but good quality food. Staff were friendly and had good knowledge about the food being served.

The food isn't bad (slightly overpriced), but for both of the courses I ordered I did not get what I ordered. Ambient is very nice, though.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chop House in Cambridge, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately set the tone for the evening.The staff at Chop House truly goes above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels welcomed and well taken care of. I was particularly impressed by the kindness and professionalism of our waiter, Laszlo. His attention to detail and genuine care for our dining experience truly elevated the evening.And let's talk about the food - wow! The dish that came out of the kitchen was an absolute masterpiece. From the perfectly cooked, decadent sides, each bite was bursting with flavor and expertly prepared. It's clear that the chefs at Chop House take great pride in their craft, and it certainly shows in the quality of the food.Overall, my experience at Chop House was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of fantastic food, wonderful atmosphere, and outstanding service made for a truly memorable evening. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough, and I can't wait to return for another incredible dining experience.Thank you, Chop House, for an unforgettable evening!

Amazing. Dined in the cellar/crypt, served Badger's Nadgers by a wonderful lady who kept us entertained all evening, ate some amazing, well cooked steak. What a night. There were six of us and we would all highly recommend to any fans of red meat or just having a good time.Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of steps and stairs into and throughout the building. Narrow corridors, especially downstairs.

Delicious modern British food and the best place for steak in Cambridge. The service is always exceptional and I love the atmosphere downstairs, especially in the side room with vaulted ceilings.A little on the pricy side of course but definitely worth it. Portions are big and there are some cheaper dishes available too.Haven't tried the Sunday roast yet but looking forward to it!

Don’t come here the food is horrible! The mashed potatoes tasted like it was cooked from the day before, the pork had like those spines as you can see in the picture….its one of those place where you don’t eat the true traditional dishes!!! A place made just for tourists to be

Book a table and go. Jose was both knowledgeable about all the dishes and attentive though all staff were pleasant. If I lived closer I'd visit regularly to eat my way through the

Fillet was cooked to perfection, Sticky Toffee Pudding was delicious. Highly recommend for a good meal out and excellent service.

I suspose i should have known by the prices that this place would be a theatre resturant.Although the food tasted exellent there wasnt much of it..it did look good arranged in a small area in the middle of the plate.I'm not a cheap skate as i earn plenty as a solicitor....but had to stop off at macdonalds on way home to bury st edmunds for a big mac meal to fill myself up.,This reminded me of my younger days when me and my girlfriend..now my wife used to use the drivethru...it wasnt a bad experience...great petting in the car waiting for the order..lol.Im not putting this place down but if you have a large appitite then better eat something before or after your meal here.

We have been there several times and we went there for Valentine's day today. As always everything was amazing, the food was outstanding and the service even more so. We were served by very nice Portuguese-speaking waiter and waitress, who were extremely helpful and promptly resolved the slight starter mix-up.It was truly a pleasure, this is definitely a place to keep coming back to for our special occasions.Vegetarian options: Despite its name, there are also a few vegetarian options :)
