The Cambridge Chop House

Great food and service, lovely ambience. Handled a garlic allergy well, waitress helpful and knowledgeable about menu.

We've been twice to the cambridge chop house and both times we enjoyed the ambiance and loved the food. As we needed early bookings, we were able to take advantage of the early pre-theatre offer which is excellent value. The service was great, but we were not rushed. We will definitely come again.

Cambridge institution booked for a graduation celebration. Welcome was great, a lovely smiley man behind the bar. Service downstairs was a little slow but acceptable better than being rushed. We would have liked to have been shown the choice of cuts as we saw a table being shown later in the evening but for whatever reason our waitress did not do this.

Great food and service. The best ambiance is found down stairs, with many step up and down moments to get around so not best for those with disabilities. Much of the charm of the place is in the nooks and crannies and so doesn't lend its self to buggies or very large groups of people max comfortable seating is probably 6. But it is a really lovely place with a great deal of character, somewhere you can disappear into for a while with some good seasonal food.

We enjoyed a wonderful meal at the Cambridge Chop House. I had requested a quiet table and we sat upstairs by the window, which was perfect. The steak was truly great, cooked to perfection. The only tiny quibble with the meal was too much dressing on my salad but I'm struggling to find anything to criticise. Do leave room for puddings. Totally yummy! I think downstairs is a more vibrant and noisy dining experience, but upstairs is just right for the over 60's!

The bread and oil with balsamic vingar were excellent to nibble on beofre our mains arrives. We then both chose fish from the 'specials ' menu; one halibut and one monkfish. Both were very well cooked, most tasty and served with interesting sides. Highly recommended. We were going on to the theatre and let our waitress know that we had to finish our meal in good time and she ensured that we were served and had plenty of time for a leisurely coffee to end our meal. Overall a very pleasing experience

Ambience was comfortable, and relaxed. Staff were professional, polite, attentive and seemed very genuine neither overly familiar or detached (which I find is often the case in other restaurants) Potato and leek soup was enjoyed by all who ordered, steak and chips with various butters very tasty and good value on pre theatre fix price menu. Beef Wellington was very nice with lovely rich gravy but not worth double the price of the steak at £28. Sharing platter tasty and enjoyed by a very proficient home cook. Only complaint was a lack of blinds to block out blinding sunlight that caused us to move table halfway through the meal.

Argh all our food came out within 20 minutes. Thats nibbles, starter and main meal. I couldnt digest it fast enough, so didnt eat all my main. Very dissapointed. Complained to manager who said that he has requested the kitchen to slow down. A bit late for us though! I had the potted squiral for starter and that was lovely. Then hanker steak for main but although i couldnt finish it, it was lovely. Couldnt fault the food, it was really tasty and cooked to perfection. But really could have done with more time between the meals. Im really dissapointed by the service and it ruin our night, as we had hoped that we could spend more time at the chop house, but were finished within 25minutes of arri...
