June 2nd, 2025 — Miami’s Coconut Grove is about to raise the stakes. This June, Chop Steakhouse & Bar will officially open its doors at 3015 Grand Avenue, introducing a dynamic new chapter in elevated dining. Marking the brand’s first U.S. outpost, the launch comes courtesy of one of Canada’s most celebrated hospitality names—bringing with it a sophisticated reinterpretation of the classic steakhouse, layered with coastal character and a distinctly South Florida rhythm.

Far from the buttoned-up image of traditional steakhouses, Chop offers something different: a refined, social dining experience that manages to feel both premium and approachable.

Anchoring the energy of Cocowalk, Chop’s design mirrors its culinary philosophy: high-quality, inviting, and just elevated enough to spark curiosity. A striking central island bar serves as the venue’s visual heartbeat, flanked by covered outdoor seating, ambient lighting, and intimate private dining rooms. The atmosphere walks a fine line—casual enough for a Tuesday cocktail, elegant enough for a milestone celebration.

The layout invites guests to linger, whether for a quick happy hour or a long-table dinner filled with passed plates and wine pairings. It's the kind of space where brunch spills into late afternoon drinks, and dinner evolves into dessert with little need for occasion.

At the center of the experience is a menu designed by Executive Chef Stephen Clark, whose reputation for bold flavors and balanced technique is evident in every dish. While USDA Prime steaks—such as the signature Tomahawk—anchor the menu, Chop extends well beyond beef.

Seafood lovers will gravitate toward Ahi Tuna Tataki, Miso-Glazed Sea Bass, and freshly shucked oysters from the raw bar, while shareables like Beef Tartare, Chili Garlic Shrimp, and Wild Mushroom Risotto encourage a more social style of dining.

Those craving something lighter can opt for refined comforts like the Chop Burger, Mediterranean Bowl, or Chicken Avocado BLT. The cocktail program doesn’t sit in the background either—with statement sips like the Truffle Martini and Clase Azul Negroni, Chop keeps pace with Miami’s most sophisticated drinking dens.

The dessert menu leans indulgent without overplaying it. Expect staples like the house-made Pineapple Upside Down Cake that deliver familiar comfort with an upscale twist.

For Coconut Grove locals looking for a polished yet casual weekday hangout, Chop’s Monday through Friday Happy Hour offers one of the most generous packages in the neighborhood. From 3 to 6 p.m., guests can enjoy $5 draft beers, $10 wines, $12 cocktails, and standout small bites—including $2 oysters, Bruschetta, and Chili Garlic Shrimp.

Wine lovers take note: Tuesdays feature half-priced bottles, making it an ideal destination for spontaneous midweek meetups.

The arrival of Chop signals a deliberate move—one that speaks to the evolution of Coconut Grove itself. As the neighborhood continues to grow as a cultural and culinary destination, Jones says Chop was designed to meet a very specific local need. “Coconut Grove has long been a cultural hub, but Cocowalk was missing that central, go-to spot for locals,” he explains.

With 18 locations across Canada, Chop’s reputation for pairing elevated cuisine with casual polish has already made it a mainstay north of the border. Now, backed by the same hospitality group behind the U.S. expansion of Moxies, the brand is poised for thoughtful growth—starting with Coconut Grove.
