Arnette's Chop Shop

Arnette's is such a fun spot to enjoy with friends! They even have a new Girls night menu with cocktails and food! Each Wednesday from 6:30-10pm they have a great event! The food was delicious and we absolutely love the cocktails! This spot was soo cool! It was so nice and I cannot wait to go back.

So the place looks great ... It was clean and had a really good small setting/date night kind of vibe. It has a really good ambience to it. It has 2 floors,so you can pick and choose which are you want to sit at. The top floor is more relaxed and has a very nice bar setup. The first floor is more the date night vibe. Though the top floor has a great place to get some sun because of the window setup. It has valet for parking but you can park on the street if there is availability. There is very limited parking out front so if you come later on in the evening, you may be out of luck. This spot is tucked away so you may not find it unless you are looking for it. It's in Brookhaven but it's really on the main street. My waitress, Jheanell, took really good care of me. I had water immediately after I sat down and everyone I passed on the way to the table greeted me and was very friendly. My waitress explained the menu in great detail and gave me her suggestions after hearing what I like. After the appetizers were finished, they had a hot towel service to make sure you can clean your hands without getting up to go to the restroom.I started out with bread (which goes for a good cause) and then ended up selecting the grilled octopus, KC strip, loaded whipped potatoes, and the broccoli.The bread was good, came with multiple types of spreads. It had a hard outer layer but the inside was super soft and moist. The bread is not complementary, so just be aware of that.The octopus was also good. It had a good flavor and was pretty tender. It was giving off a bit of a citrus and tangy taste that was savory. The KC strip steak (medium) came out good, the steak was indeed cooked but some parts of it were not "melt in your mouth". It did not dissuade me from wanting to try something else from there. But if you are paying over 80 for a steak, you want it to be excellent and as flawless as you can get, and this may be my only small gripe.The broccoli came with a Parmesan sauce and it was a really good choice (Jheanell suggested it).The loaded whipped potatoes were ... Well they were loaded potatoes lol nothing dazzling but they were good. The bacon was fresh and sent the potatoes up another level.This is something that I would definitely come back for. It is not something that is every other day because it is steakhouse prices, but for an event or an occasion, it's not a bad option at all.... Actually it is a super solid option and I highly suggest and recommend it. I will be back to sit at the bar (the bar had a good set up) and to try the cheesecake next lol.

Returning to Arnette's after a nearly two-year hiatus, I joined a friend for a light bite at the upstairs bar. The menu had seen a few changes since my last visit, and I was eager to dive in. The fried lobster appetizer was succulent and hard to resist devouring entirely, I had to remind myself to share. It was almost as delicious as the grilled and sautéed octopus, which was tender and equally succulent. The preparation and temperature of both dishes were spot on.Ask and you shall receive: the "off menu" burger, exclusively available to those sitting at the bar (IYKYK), is a game-changer. Just when you think you've had all the good burgers in various arrangements, Arnette's surprises you. This chunky beef patty was Wagyu perfection. Mine, medium rare of course, was expertly cooked, and the crisp char that filled every nook and cranny of the almost craggy exterior was an exciting delight. I am genuinely impressed --I love this burger!It won't be two years before my next visit. More like two months this time. Watch this space for more Chop Shop updates.

I came here on a Thursday night. The place was not busy at all.Valet service is at least $5. I think valet is required because I didn't see any regular parking spots.The bar is upstairs but the bathroom is down stairs. Comfortable chairs at the bar. Wish they had more TVs to watch sports. Very dim lighting in the building at the bar. They set the mood.Bartenders are great. Very talkative and many off menu specials. I ordered the Foxey Lady and they gave me the house bourbon.Ton of off menu specials. Don't be afraid to ask about the off menu specials.I ate Wagyu burger with onion rings and the Beef ribs appetizer. The Wagyu burger was tender with a good taste but nothing special and I enjoyed it like any other burger. The onion rings are pretty bland and the sauce is extremely mild as well. The Beef ribs are the star of the show.

Visited Arnette's Chop Shop back in July. We had a party of 10-12 and were seated right by the door. The restaurant was empty as it was 5:30pm, b it was a less than ideal seating area as the sun was setting and they couldn't lower any of the shades. Sun was hitting us directly in the face and the air con dripped right on my husband. Bread isn't complimentary, but I was pregnant at the time so it was extra delicious. A portion of the proceeds gets donated. Lobster Mac and cheese was a favorite and so was the bone marrow. Everyone who ordered a wagyu cut really enjoyed their steak. The steak frites was mediocre and fries weren't very good. They have valet parking, but you can drive another 20 seconds and park on the street for free. Service was okay, nothing special. Bathrooms are a walk away, outside the restaurant, but the facilities were nice and clean.

Nice ambience and very much what I would expect from a high end chophouse but without the noise of similar ones in Buckhead or Midtown. The service was excellent! Our server Chris took great care of us and was attentive without being overly so. We were visited by the manager and sommelier who checked in on us. Not an extensive but well-balanced wine list. There were taste profiles for most. I appreciate that they had Chappellet on the menu.We ordered a half dozen oysters to start. 3 from Maine which was smaller but packed with flavor and 3 from Massachusetts which was larger and yummy but not quite as flavorful. I am glad I ordered the lobster spaghetti because the dish uses squid ink pasta. The dish is super rich but I couldn't stop eating it. It had a generous portion of lobster. I counted 3 whole claws at least.The wagyu beef was buttery tender. My dining partner ordered it rare and it was prepared perfectly. The unexpected star dish was the roasted mushrooms. So surprisingly smoky and rustic. The only dish that was average was the haricot verts. It was crunchy which is good but I've had better elsewhere. This is definitely a special occasion restaurant. Parking is valet only at $5. We'll be back.

Amazing service from Chris! My partner and I ordered the NY strip w/ chimichurri (however you spell it) sauce, lobster mac and asparagus. The asparagus was okay but the lobster mac and steak was amazing! We had the "miss you" drink. Def hit!

Visited Arnette Chop house this week... And because it was a Oyster week, I decided to order their raw oysters that they had on the menu. We had about three different oysters. I can't remember the name of them, but they all were great! And the interior OMG! The stairs leading up to the dining room made you feel like you were heading into heaven! And you were...Because, the surf and turf was not only beautiful in presentation but the taste was heavenly! Hubby ordered the scallops which were seared to perfection! We also had side of mashed potatoes and string beans, and both were very flavorful! But to top it off, the staff was a plus and just for that it took it waaaaay over the top! Cannot wait to dine here again!

I haven't wrote a review in a very long time, but this place deserves that. Arnette's is top tier when it comes to service. From the moment we valet our car to the departure, it was nothing short of amazing. Trent is the manager there and made sure we had a pleasant evening. The ambience is quite romantic with low light setting. I've never had an espresso martini at any establishment that I love besides here. The espresso martini was perfection! We tried their special octopus as an app. It was slightly charred a bit salty, but it paired really well with everything on the plate. It was tender and great portion for $21-$22. My fiancé ordered the cowgirl ribeye cooked medium with a wedge salad that was big enough for two. I ordered the diver scallop and lobster Oscar. You can get the scallop cooked on the grill or pan seared, which is a great option to have. The whole staff was friendly and inviting. The place is a bit expensive, but you expect that from a steakhouse. Money well spent here. We will definitely come back!

A culinary haven in Brookhaven!Arnette's in Brookhaven is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a beautiful atmosphere that sets the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Their commitment (specifically, Chef Stephen Herman) to consistent quality food is evident in every dish. As a regular patron, I can confidently say that Arnette's has become my husband and I'd favorite steak place in Atlanta.I have a few must-try items on their menu: the chopped salad is fresh and flavorful, the tuna tartare is a delightful start to the meal, and the bone marrow is simply divine. The new shrimp appetizer is a recent addition that has quickly become a favorite of mine. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender & the bread service is a delightful accompaniment to all of the above.For the main course, the spinalis, ribeye, & filet are cooked to perfection every time. Even their chicken entree is a standout dish. Sometimes I like to fill up on the apps, and keep dinner simple with the 1/2 pound of grilled shrimp or scallops plus 1 side.As for sides, you can't go wrong with the mushrooms, carrots, lobster mac and cheese, and twice baked potatoes - each one bursting with flavor and perfectly complementing the main course.Overall, Arnette's offers a dining experience that is unparalleled in both quality and ambiance. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a delicious meal, Arnette's is sure to exceed your expectations. Even the bar service is stand out. Highly recommend!
