Dining room at Chops Lobster Bar, Atlanta, GAOperating on two levels, this establishment deals in both steaks (upstairs) and seafood (downstairs) in completely different spaces. On either level, fresh oysters make a grand starter. So too do the crab cakes or the luxurious lobster bisque with a dab of lobster meat. At Chops upstairs, the menu specifies how many days (42 or 32) the steaks were aged, and the longer aged, the higher the tab. For the big spenders, there’s the Wagyu Kobe 12-ounce strip steak. The veal chop is a standout, and the Kurobuta pork chop is juicy and comes pink as ordered. We've not been fond of the sauces, although the béarnaise for the hanger steak and fries is spot on. Seafood rates, and the scallops are reliably delectable. Rich desserts are worth saving room for, and come in easily shared portions. The nearly book-length wine list has great depth in Champagnes and, given Chops’ meat mission, is heavy on red wines. But we find the by-the-glass wine list uninspired, and the selections don’t pair well with the food. Annoyingly, the staff doesn’t check the condition of a glass of wine before sending it to the table, so five out of our last five visits, we‘ve had to reject a glass. Be alert.
