The Chophouse Grille Celebrates Grand Opening

Two veteran Yorktown restaurateurs recently celebrated the of  what they call an 'exquisite experience' at the area’s newest steakhouse – The Chophouse Grille – in Mahopac. 

Matt Camerino and Toni Vulaj, who until recently worked side by side managing  in Mohegan Lake, said they hoped to bring a healthy dose of professionalism and attention to detail to their new Putnam County eatery and hangout, which opened in August.

The Chophouse Grille is located at 957 Route 6 Plaza in Mahopac. The new restaurant, bar and lounge features premium aged steak, fresh seafood and a range of offerings for Happy Hour.

"We wanted to do things the right way," said Vulaj, who has been associated with a number of premium steak houses in the area. "People need to know that they can come in for an exquisite New York City-esque experience without having to break the bank or drive down to the city."

The menu, described as simple but exciting, features creative salads and pasta dishes (also available in whole wheat) that complement the selections of premium steak and fresh seafood. Daily specials are spoken tableside in addition to the carefully thought out menu. For dessert, Chophouse has an array of homemade choices, including a special banana fontaine, Crembrulee, New York Cheesecake and apple strudel.

The Chophouse Grille, near K-mart and east of the firehouse, is open Tuesday through Sunday. It is located at 957 Route 6 Plaza in Mahopac. The kitchen is open Tuesday through Saturday from 3 to 11 p.m., and from noon to 9 p.m. Sunday. Happy Hour is from 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday and noon to 3 p.m. Sunday.
