- NNikkiMiami - Dade •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoIf I could give more than 5 stars I would. Went there for the first time last night and it was amazing! From the valets to the wait staff, the service was impeccable! They really go out of their way to make sure you have the best experience. The valet even allowed us to keep our cars there while we went to a show at the Palace theater after dinner, and was kind enough to put my leftovers in the car for me before we left for the show. The food was perfection! The filet melted in my mouth like butter. And, unlike a lot of higher end steak houses, the sides are included. And the prices are far more reasonable than I expected. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be be back!More infoHanover Street ChophousePrice: Expensive• Steak• Manchester•4.8
