London Chop House Detroit Reviews
Great Food & Service
We ended our meeting with dinner at the London Chop House. There are few things better than being met at the front door by a happy smiling face. The wonderful gentleman that greeted us was enthusiastic and energetic. Our leader arranged a private room for our gathering. Marvelous choice. The attendees were excited. Our limited menu was splendid. Everything was cooked to order and served hot. Given that our party was 20+ folks, the kitchen and service team did a great job.
This is just a special place located in the heart of
This is just a special place located in the heart of downtown Detroit in the Buhl Building. Parking is easy with a deck right there and of course valet. You are greeted by Dorian, the doorman and he just kicks off the night in a special way. You descend the stairs and are greeted by an incredibly friendly hostess, This place is mid-century. You feel like you are stepping into the set of a Mad Men scene. Dark leathers, a traditional fully stocked bar and of course a piano man. There is also the scent of fine beef being prepared. We are seated and the waitress, Ericka, greeted us with the drink menu and wine list. Great selections. The even made my personal drink, The Noble. We skipped apps and went straight to the salad. I had the Wedge and my wife a chopped LCH salad. Both were excellent and the wedge is not a quarter head of iceberg, but rather baby gem (1/2 head). For dinner we had the Prime NY Strip (me) and the 8 oz Filet (her). They were perfect. They come with a choice of sauces, but quite frankly the seasoning and prep were so perfect we barley touched "the juice." All in all, it was a perfect start to a perfect evening. We are going to be going back more often!

A Tale of Two Chop Houses
Not exactly the right place to review that I used to dine here in the 1950's several times a year. Always had the filet mignon which came with pickled watermelon rind as garnish. Unforgettable.I was a university student and my well off boyfriend brought me there. Later I moved to London UK and ate at an American style chop house in Soho where the leather chairs had names printed on them such as Joe Dimaggio and Mar ilyn Monroe.
We went at 5 for an early dinner! LOVEEE the old school
We went at 5 for an early dinner! LOVEEE the old school vibe and music! Everyone is incredibly welcoming and kind! Pipe the doorman is awesome! From the valet service to hostesses to servers, everyone is amazing! The meat was so flavorful, buttery, and melted in our mouth! French onion soup was more thick like a gravy than soupy. Calamari was sauced up nicely! The tartar was different. It was warm, meat wasn't chopped super finely like a regular tartar, but it was tasty! The salad was also a different lighter spin on Caesar salad, but again it was very good!
Fabulous
Very warm welcome and impeccable service. We were passing through Detroit and were very pleasantly surprised by this restaurant with its cozy atmosphere. Excellent meat. The icing on the cake: live every evening. We will come back as soon as possible.
We went there to celebrate our birthday.
I thought it was so beautiful and classy. The food was delicious and amazing. The steak melted in your mouth and cheesy cauliflower was amazing. Service was swift and Abdu Rahin was very nice to us! They even encouraged us to dance with the band. We had a wonderful time and we will be back
Others were correct in their impression that you need to be
Others were correct in their impression that you need to be dressed up. I thought we were doing OK, but still got a few up and down glances at our apparel by the hostess. She definitely was not super friendly. However, our waitress and the bartenders were. Had a few drinks waiting for our table which was not ready on time. We had some cocktails, soups, and other appetizers with no complaints. Our party of 6 had a variety of seafood and steak dishes. We knew it was going to be expensive. My only complaint would be that I ordered the $45 scallop dish and literally it had two scallops on it with some sort of potato in between. They were delicious, but it was super disappointing. Everyone who ordered the steaks had plenty to eat. There was a lovely jazz band playing and it definitely had that old school class feel. I don't feel the need to go back right away, but we consider it for a special occasion.

We came here to celebrate my mom's birthday, and we had an amazing time. From the service to the food, everything was great. The filet was literally melt in your mouth good, and the brussel sprouts were some of the best I've had. Of course it was a bit expensive, but it was well worth it for the special occasion.
This place is going up into my top 10.
The service is so good you'd think everyone is auditioning for Broadway. I ordered the calamari, pork belly, crab bisque, and dry-aged ribeye. Everything was cooked to absolute perfection. The calamari at first glance had me thinking I'd want more sauce to it, but after biting into it my worries vanished. I've never had calamari so perfectly tender in my life. The pork belly was divine. The crab bisque was good, but nothing too miraculous. The ribeye was a perfect medium-rare all the way through with a solid crust and astounding bearnaise. My drinks were all pretty excellent as well. I will most definitely be back very soon!
A Cut Above The Rest
Places like this are hard to find. Dark wood, dim lighting, upscale decor, live jazz and a friendly staff. Driving back to Chicago from Atlanta, I went out of my way to return to this special place.
I don't know what's wrong, but the old school cool ambiance
I don't know what's wrong, but the old school cool ambiance the restaurant was going for ended up coming across dingy and dated. The food was just ok too. I wouldn't recommend this place as there's a lot more restaurants that hit the mark. Sauteed beef tips: This was pretty good. The mushrooms added to the beefy, rich flavor of the dish. The beef itself was tender. I don't like blue cheese, but it wasn't that noticible in the dish. Buttermilk marainated calamari: Average. I live for the breading on fried foods, but for this dish there wasn't a lot breading. The calamari was cooked so that it was tender and not rubbery. Crab bisque: Poor presentation to be honest. There was a film on top of the soup as if it had been scooped and placed in a corner and forgotten. It was lukewarm, and cayenne oil had moved from the center to the side. I was not impressed. My friend had the LCH salad and it was equally unappealing. The hardboiled egg had that green ring around the yolk indicating that it was overcooked. I would expect the single component of that salad that needed cooking to be done well. Otherwise it was as expected. 6oz petit filet mignon: It was cooked exactly to specification, with a good seared crust. The green beans and mashed potato were as expected. LCH gold brick sundae: This was a great way to end the meal. The chocolate topping had hardened like a magic sundae shell fused with Heath bar pieces, and the ice cream itself was rich. It's unfortunate that my favorite part of the meal was one where it didn't require any cooking, only assembly.
What an absolute gem of a steakhouse!!!
Amazing service, incredible atmosphere. The food was perfect. Our server Pete knows Detroit history as well as the history of the restaurant. The Mac and cheese was super rich and flavorful and the prime steak was top notch.
Old school all the way.
The London Chop House has a reputation that precedes it, for good reason. Even though this was my very first visit, it made me very happy to see and experience the legend live up to its name. The service, food and ambiance were excellent. If you're looking for romance and old school fine dining, this is it. Can't wait to come back.
Delicious food with halal options! It was my birthday
Delicious food with halal options! It was my birthday celebration and first time here. Great service and ambience.
Food was good once we received it.
Service was HORRIBLE. First, you are told that if you don't show up on time your table will be given to someone else, fine BUT they don't tell you that you will wait 30 minutes past your reservation time. This is difficult for people who are diabetic. The staff was information but could have cared less. We had to pay a deposit which was to go towards our meal, but took the deposit never put it into the computer. We had to fight to get our bill corrected, maybe because we watched the manager drinking with several of the tables, not sure if he could have added two and two together. What should have been a wonderful dinner with family left us all telling everyone NOT TO BOTHER! WHAT A NIGHTMARE! Beautiful restaurant.... EVERYTHING ELSE WAS HORRIBLE
The food was excellent cooked to perfection our server John
The food was excellent cooked to perfection our server John was so kind and professional, I recommend it highly
Great Place for Special Dinner
Fantastic dinner in a restaurant that still values time honored ways of dining. Not many places still have the guts to inform patrons beforehand that there is a dress code expectation. Very friendly service from everyone from the doorman, the hostess, the bartender, the waiter and server. We had the oysters, wedge salads, steaks, and the carrot cake. They were all fantastic. We walked back to our hotel just before sundown and felt very safe in the area. Will definitely dine there again.
The Ultimate Dining Experience - Stephanie
We visited Detroit for the first time and chose the LCH for my wife’s birthday after much consideration. Stephanie was our server, she is a professional that knows the trade of waiting tables. I would rank her in the top 1% of waiters across the industry that we have experienced over the course of my lifetime. We received a warm greeting from the hostess and promptly seated. The restaurant atmosphere will allow you to step back in time to the finest dining you may have experienced pre 1985. Think of the days with no cell phones and people that just want to engage in good times including staff and customers. We had soup, salad, appetizers, entrees, and dessert. Everything was perfect, food, service, ambiance. We didn’t want the evening to end! The dry aged beef was heaven for my wife and myself. Our children ordered snow crab clusters, delicious for all! We had dessert that was icing on the cake. (Ha!) Yes this is an expensive restaurant. If you want the best of the best this restaurant is for you. Request Stephanie.
A wonderful way to celebrate an important, milestone birthday!
Excellent food, wine, and service—Marvin was an outstanding waiter—attentive, friendly, made sure we were well looked after. The ambiance is authentic, original (restored) 1930s seating and very comfortable. A jazz trio played throughout our dinner. Just fantastic! The food was delicious—our filet mignon was cooked to order, tastey and tender. Our side dishes, asparagus and garlic mash potatoes, were excellent. The best cosmopolitan I’ve ever had! And an excellent wine selection.
Don't go unless you look and smell like money
My wife and I came here for dinner because my sister gave a rave review about the restaurant, and we wanted a nice night out. It doesn't take a lot to make me happy at dinner, but this place struck out in every avenue. When we arrived and headed downstairs, we were behind another couple while waiting for the hostess, and another couple was behind us as well. When the hostess finally got done blatantly flirting with the men in front of us, she looked right past me and my wife and asked the couple behind us if they had been helped yet. There was no mistaking that my wife and I were standing right there in front of her, dressed in business casual, yet she looked beyond us to the couple behind us, clearly dressed up for the evening and looking like money. The couple looked confused and told the hostess that we were there first (obviously,) so she then took our names for our reservation. Our table wasn't ready yet, so we went to the bar. My wife is a recovering alcoholic so she ordered a n/a beer, and you could see the annoyance on the bartender's face when she assumed her tips would be lower because she's serving a nondrinker. She asked if we were eating at the bar, and we said we were waiting for a table and would like to order an app while waiting. She curtly told us we couldn't because it wouldn't be ready... so we waited with a very annoyed bartender at our service. We debated on leaving at that point, feeling extremely uncomfortable and not wanted in this establishment. At this point the other hostess (dressed in an inappropriately painted on red dress) told us our table was ready. We sat down and ordered immediately, considering we were hungry and just wanted our dinner. The waiter took our order and wasn't seen again until we had to flag him down for another drink. When our food arrived, the steak was good, but absolutely not worth the money. My sister later asked what sauce we got with the steak and I asked, "What sauce?" We didn't know it was an option, and certainly weren't offered it, only to learn that their signature sauces are part of what makes the steak. After we finished dinner and paid, we walked by a hostess who didn't even acknowledge our presence and a door man who watched us leave (didn't open the door.) Long story short, we left with a $300 bill and the worst service I've ever had in a restaurant- hands down. If I'm paying $300, it better be amazing all ways around. Next time we want to splurge and take a chance on good service, I'll head to Joe Muer's Seafood instead. Actually, I'd spend the money anywhere else but here.
Steak vs Goliath
Outstanding dinner! Pete the Greek is an amazing waiter I brought my Saskatch date to teach him proper dining etiquette and nailed it!!!! Definitely will be back !
So I've started this review so many times because I don't
So I've started this review so many times because I don't think anything I can write truly how special this place is to me. Detroit has seen a boom in steakhouses recently (Prime and Proper, Caucus Club, Marrow, SheWolf sort of and of course the new one coming out where Roast used to be). There is a reason this handsome grandaddy of them all still stands The first time I came here was in 1991 when my best friend's family took me here to celebrate graduating from high school. Then 1994, to celebrate graduating university and again in 1995 I came back and chose this to be the spot to propose to my girlfriend. This place is somewhere I've always held in my heart as where I celebrate the meaningful, the special, the wonderful. Walking about to the doorway, you are immediately greeted by a doorman. The gentlemen there currently has the greatest voice. I just want him to read my novels to me at night until I fall asleep. Silky smooth. I suggest you make a reservation if you want dinner, especially on a Friday or Saturday. Walking down the stairs into the restaurant you step back in time. While most modern restaurants have moved to modern looks, clean lines built with chrome and brass, LCH is still dark wood that comforts you on cold winter nights and plush leather seats that swallow you up whole.I would suggest you get here a few minutes early so you have an excuse to sit at the bar and have a cocktail. The bartenders have always been super friendly and super talented. Once you get to the table and and get your meat hooks onto the menu I guarantee you will start drooling. I'm drooling now just thinking about the meal, very Pavlovian. Mmmmm.My review encompasses decades so I'm not going to recommend anything specific but I've had chops, steaks, veggies, the works and I have never, ever had a complaint. The service has always been top notch. The kitchen always accommodating to adjustments. If this was the Middle Ages I would hire a bard to write and sing songs about this place. Aesthetics, flavors, drinks, everything is great. I almost forgot to mention, if you like Jazz, often times they will have a band playing. Jazz isn't my thing, man, but it's nice dinner music.Bonus #1: they have a cigar bar upstairs but I don't think they've opened up since COVID. I might be wrong. Bonus #2: probably the best happy hour in the City. Check it out.
Awesome service and great food.
The best braised short ribs I've had in a while. Brussel sprouts and macaroni were fantastic. My wife had the asparagus and she like them as well. I am throughly pleased and will be back.
I read about the 400+ wines available at LCH in Windows On
I read about the 400+ wines available at LCH in Windows On The World and I just had to visit. I'm so glad I did. I visited on a Saturday afternoon and elected to sit at this bar considering the main reason for my visit was to sample wines. I did decide to order the soup of the day which was delicious. There was an event at the Cigar Lounge; therefore, I was able to visit that area as well. This is a great spot to receive quality and efficient service. I will return to sample more wines!
We went for my husband's birthday.
The food was delicious, but definitely pricey ($200 for 2 without drinks or dessert). I was disappointed with the lack of birthday dessert. I've noted that restaurants like this usually provide some sort of birthday dessert (a small piece of chocolate, a scoop of ice cream with a candle, etc.). Also the restaurant has a rich history, but our waitress didn't tell us anything about it. We went quite early, so she wasn't particularly busy (we were her only table for a while). We overheard some of the other waiters explaining the rich history to their tables and we felt robbed of our experience of dining at such a legendary place.
A classic
I honestly think this IS the best restaurant in the city. It's a true classic and has that old school vibe. The live entertainment is always a plus and is perfectly suited for a nice dinner.
Love this old school chop house vibe! From the valet guys,
Love this old school chop house vibe! From the valet guys, to the lovely door man (what a fascinating guy!!! Would go back just to say hi to him again lol), to the hostess and our waitress were all incredibly kind and welcoming. Our waitress was on point! The manager even stopped over to chat with us and to see how everything was.....He explained the history of the building and we all had a few laughs together. Great drinks and even better food! Everything was outstanding. Our waitress was super accommodating with my dietary restrictions. Live music added the perfect touch! We took my dad last night to celebrate his 75th birthday and he said it was the BEST meal he's ever had! THANK YOU LOVELY PEOPLE who took such great care of us last night, we can't wait to come back and try more from the menu!
I really loved this restaurant in downtown Detroit!They
I really loved this restaurant in downtown Detroit!They have live jazz performance while we were there. We went as a 14 people group and the service was great. Planning to go again next year!
Wonderful Steakhouse in Detroit
Great atmosphere and even better food. Took my wife for her Birthday dinner while staying in Detroit. The prices are comparable to other Steakhouses we've been to. Our bill was around $250 before tip. Our waitress Britney was really awesome. Special shout out to Dorian the doorman, great positive energy and a nice person.
The door man is impeccable! Quite the showman.
And gentleman.The filet was delicious.The cigar bartender was rude and degrading. We are nurses and we were there for a pharmaceutical dinner. I guess that's why she looked down on us. We did tip her 20% and the second time we went to the bar another 20% tip. I usually leave 30%. The first round were dirty martinis. They were so bad we ordered wine the second time around. I'm sure I was drinking martinis before she was born. Regardless she would be fired if I were her boss.
First timer here & the experience was the best!! Worth
First timer here & the experience was the best!! Worth every single penny. For starters, you can find parking on the street or use the valet. We were greeted at the door and again at the hostess stand. They offered free coat check. We had reservations, so we were immediately seated. The booth comfortable and the atmosphere was dim & romantic. There was a gentleman playing Stevie Wonder tunes on the piano. Our waiter didn't miss! He was so knowledgeable and took great care of us. On to the fantastic food:I ordered the east and west coast oysters on a half shell. I really like mine spicy but, the sauce for these were more mild. The oysters themselves were delicious. For my entree I had the loop de mar & scallops. It was soooooo good. Every bite. The cream sauce, with capers and lump crab. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. We also had the macaroni and cheese. Very good experience.
we loved our steak and Gin with Tonic, it very English, the
we loved our steak and Gin with Tonic, it very English, the man at the door is very welcoming.
This place was great.
Old school cool vibe with great service and excellent food. The doormen were super friendly to start out my experience and explained where I needed to go. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable as well as a great conversationalist.Was in town for business so I decided to come back the next evening and had a similar experience with a whole new set of staff. Will be back if I am ever in the Detroit area.
Great atmosphere and Even Better Food
This restaurant was highly recommended to us while we were in town. Walking in the door, you could tell this was an upscale restaurant. The menu was diverse and I got the smaller filet and a wedge salad. The meal was outstanding and the service was top shelf! If you are in downtown Detroit, this should be a restaurant you put on your list
