Arroyo Chop House

I visited Arroyo Chop House for a business meeting, and it was my first time dining here. Let me just say--what an incredible experience from start to finish!The meal began with their complimentary bread, which was absolutely delicious. Warm, fresh, and perfectly paired with butter--it was hard not to fill up on it before the main courses arrived.For my entrée, I ordered the salmon, and it was perfection! Cooked to a tender, flaky texture and seasoned beautifully, it paired wonderfully with the creamy mashed potatoes. But the star side dish of the night was the Jalapeño-Corn Soufflé--rich, flavorful, and with just the right amount of heat. It was so good, I almost wanted to order another serving!The atmosphere was classy yet inviting, making it an ideal spot for a business meeting or any special occasion. Arroyo Chop House has certainly earned a spot on my list of favorite restaurants, and I can't wait to return.

We had an amazing experience at Arroyo. We were a couple of first timers but will certainly be making a trip back soon. The service was warm and welcoming and the food was succulent and satisfying.Next time around I'd like to get a crack at their wine menu and see what they've got to offer.I had the ribeye and my lady had the Alaskan king crab legs. We shared entrees as well as the lobster mashed potatoes which were incredibly rich and savory. Arroyo has a nice laidback atmosphere while maintaining a formal and high class aura. Very good restaurant can't wait to visit again.

This restaurant is owned by the same people that own Parkway Grill right next door, and Smitty's Grill nearby in PasadenaTo start we had oysters Rockefeller. They were not even on the menu, but my dad asked if they had them, and at first they said no and then another person came over and said we could do that for you. They did and they were excellent! Then we had the Holland America Farms bib lettuce salad with Ash goat cheese, heirloom cherry tomatoes, and avocado. I had the Lamb chops - I said "cook them however the chef recommends"- they were spectacular! The asparagus was one of the best I've ever had - cooked perfectly- nice crunch, not overcooked, not tough, chewy or stringy at all. The corn was absolutely amazing - nice and crunchy well cooked with peppers and onions. With my lamb chops, there was arugula on the plate and a roasted yellow pepper. My dad had the filet mignon medium rare - was done perfectly. I had a Chopin martini perfectly extra dry with four olives - I'm in heaven.For dessert we had the Grand Marnier soufflé - the soufflé was light and fluffy, creamy and cake like. There was a whipped cream side and a Grand Marnier Crema that was unbelievable - I highly recommend that too!

Came here on week night. The service was very slow and not attentive but it was a busy night. I liked the ambience, the food is good but not exceptional.

We ordered the porterhouse steak for two, asparagus, cream, spinach, string, french fries, mushrooms and garlic and sourdough bread. Our server was very friendly and quick to bring out our dishes. The ambience is dim lit and mid noise. Usually parties or families, dates or work events. I've dined at this restaurant countless times, maybe 12-15 times the last 5 years. I will continue to support this restaurant . Excellent food and service

Ordered a tomahawk steak with cream, spinach and garlic, mashed potatoes. Everything was phenomenal and well cooked to our liking. Can't wait to visit this place again. Usually the inside is decorated so nicely during the holidays and other times it's just your basic steakhouse. The service was great. Our waitress was very kind

The place is great, great service, the interior, lighting, ambiance. That's where everything stops. We were a group of 12 people the other day. Most of us ordered steaks. My wife got aged NY strip, I got a cowboy steak bone-in 26oz "prime". Except it wasn't prime, it was barely even a choice. For $79 you'd think they'd use a better steak, not a $7/lb one. It was very chewy, no marbling at all, big chunks of fat across and around. The temperature was cooked to my liking though. I ate just a little bit and couldn't eat the rest. I tried my wife's 30 day ages NY strip and was not good. I can make a better steak than those on a worst day. Last year we sat in the north side, this time we were in the south side. Both look good. Didn't try steaks last time. I just hope their steaks were better. That's a shame.

First time visiting, nice, elegant decor, friendly service, good food. We enjoyed everything we ordered. We got the seafood tower which included raw oysters, crab, lobster, poke & shrimp cocktail. The lobster mash potato had generous portions of lobster, the green beans were crunchy & tasty. The sweet corn was ok and our steaks (filet mignon & rib eye) & chocolate soufflé were good. Overall it was a good experience.

I came here recently to celebrate my birthday and what a treat it was! Our party was big so I called in and was able to book a weekend dinner reservation for our party a week in advance. If your party is smaller, you can go to their website to book the reservation.If you don't mind walking a block or two, I would recommend getting to Arroyo Chop House 10 minutes early to find street parking. Although there is not much parking available on Arroyo Parkway, you may be able to find parking on the side street or around on Marengo Ave. Otherwise, their parking lot is valet only. Once we were seated, we were greeted by the waiter with specials for the day. It did seem pretty busy inside the restaurant at 6pm, so we had to wait awhile until we got our food. One thing I didn't like was that it felt pretty stuffy inside the restaurant. I'm not sure if it's because we were seated on the side of the restaurant where the sun was setting and the wooden shades were absorbing a lot of the heat from the day's sun. Every dish we ordered was sooo delicious. The flavor of the Porterhouse steak was perfect. Although next time I would definitely order the steak medium rare instead of medium. There were parts of the steak where I thought it came out more medium well. The bottle of Napa Valley Merlot and the sides all complemented the steak very well. We had the asparagus, brussels sprouts, lobster mash, and mac n cheese. What really topped off this meal was the spectacular desserts. You must order the chocolate souffle and the butterscotch pudding!

Great service and delicious food! The BBQ shrimp salad and appetizer is my absolute fav!
