As Nocatee Town Center and the entire Nocatee area continue to expand, residents are craving versatile dining options. Beyond just quick-service chains and generic restaurants, Nocatee residents have been on the hunt for good, local dining.
Their pleas were answered when ChopHouse at Nocatee recently opened its long-awaited doors and welcomed guests into the massive two-story steakhouse.
“We felt that this would be a really neat thing for the folks who live out here,” said Larry Press, a Managing Member for ChopHouse at Nocatee. “We know a lot of people out here and we wanted to build them something really nice.”
ChopHouse at Nocatee is one of the first high-end dining options available in the Nocatee Town Center, complete with two bars, a main dining room, an outdoor patio, and a rooftop bar with beautiful views. According to the steakhouse’s website, the multiple bars offer craft cocktails and premium liquor brands while the restaurant itself is proud to serve the highest quality ingredients from a scratch kitchen.
Owned and operated by the same team as ChopHouse Thirteen, Mandarin’s premiere steakhouse for over 50 years, ChopHouse at Nocatee promises the same unbelievable quality of service and dining in a refreshing, modern environment.
“It’s not just a pretty place, which it is,” said Press. “We also have the most sophisticated technology, as well.”
The restaurant utilizes all the latest and greatest in kitchen technology in its two custom-built kitchens, one that services the main dining room and another that services the rooftop. In the main dining hall, customers can expect a variety of high-quality culinary choices such as Wagyu and Prime Beef steaks, house-smoked cheeses and meats, fresh fish, and a plethora of appetizers. Up on the rooftop, guests can still order the famous steaks, but the mood shifts to a more casual menu.
“If you want to come in for an upscale dinner at our bar or main dining restaurant, you can,” said Press. “Or, if you want to come right off the golf course or tennis court, you can go up the stairs to the rooftop, have a beer, and watch the game.”
There’s a little bit of something for everyone at ChopHouse at Nocatee, according to Press.
Since opening, the community’s reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, Nocatee residents happy to have a fine-dining location for special occasions and celebrations. The thrill of trying something new is what attracts recent Nocatee transplants to the steakhouse and the promise of exceptional cuisine and an inviting atmosphere are what keep them coming back.
