THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Dunwoody Chop House Restaurant Review:

A newcomer to the ever-growing independent steak houses that dot Atlanta’s ’burbs, Dunwoody Steak House gives good value, with quality and quantity matching the dollars you’ll spend. If there are two to four of you, get just one appetizer, for instance, as the tangle of very good, crisp, beer-battered calamari with rémoulade sauce will put smiles on at least that many faces. The spinach crab dip, made cumbersome by a layer of cheese that gets hard as the dish cools, is equally generously portioned. On top of the spinach and cheese is good jumbo lump crab, almost lost in the dish. Steaks are good, but the winner may well be the veal chop. Priced at $19, it’s smaller than veal chops at many other Atlanta restaurants, but so is the price tag, by about $10. And it’s plenty. Ordered medium rare, it came just as requested, was juicy and flavorful and shouldn’t be changed one iota from the current standard. Side dishes, again plenty for at least two persons, are fresh and flavorful, and at $3.25 per item, less than at pricier establishments. The wine list, short and fairly ordinary, has some values, with a good size pour averaging about $7. Given the welcoming bar that draws pre- and post-prandial patrons, a good vocalist, and a well-priced, well-presented menu, this one should make dining out in Dunwoody a more frequent event.
