Chops and Lobster Bar
Chops is well attended by Atlanta's elite. Although steak is on the menu, it's the fresh lobster flown in daily that makes this a seafood favorite for the locals. Get your fill by choosing between 2 and 5 pounds of fresh Maine lobster. Or try lobster tail, fried to your liking and covered with warm butter or honey mustard.
Other entrees include swordfish steak, Chilean sea bass, Alaskan king crab, blackened grouper and wild king salmon. For a side dish, try an organic sweet potato or garlic mashed potato to add to your lobster or entree.
