1705 Prime Chophouse and Events

While 1705 Chophouse is not a walk-​in restaurant, I’ve been here for a couple of events (wedding, Competition Dining) and it’s always been an impressive showing! Great lawn out front, nice lounge and then a smallish but elegant dining room makes for a great events space! The food catered internally is well above average and service is spot-​on.
For the Competition Dining event I accidentally left my credit card in the bill-​fold and they were nice enough to mail it back to me and save myself a ride. So yeah, not sure when I’ll be at 1705 Chophouse next but it’s a great location and excellent spot for a upscale event. Birthday, wedding, anniversary or what have you, pretty sure they can do it all in style…

I held my wedding reception here in April 2011. Our coordinator was Allison. I am just absolutely thrilled with the quality of our event. We had a 4 hour booking on a Saturday night. From the moment we arrived, the details were all covered. Allison had everything under control, not a thing went wrong.
Before the event, Allison worked with our florist and baker to make sure all centerpieces were placed and that the cakes arrived on time.
They offer an extensive menu for you to choose from, all quality choices. Our guests raved about the service, the food, and the atmosphere. We chose to have our event plated as I dont care for buffets. We also opted for the open bar. The first hour and a half of our event was cocktail. The bartenders kept the drinks rolling while servers circulated with hot appetizers.
We then moved into the larger dining room. Servers quickly delivered dinner and all food arrived hot! We opted for the upgraded steak, it was to die for! everything was cooked appropriately. Our guests loved it!
After our reception ended, Allison and her staff packed p or left over cake and helped to load gifts into the car.
I definitely recommend holding your event at 1705 Prime! (and ask for Allison)

I can’t speak for a regular dine in experience, because I haven’t had that. We used them for our wedding reception. We picked them because everything was fantastic looking and they were super easy to negotiate with. They gave us what seemed like endless choices for our buffett.
The staff was extremely attentive and knew how to serve without being in the way.
They even packed up most of our leftovers and our leftover wedding cake to send home!
I wouldn’t change any of it one bit, except to use their suggested wedding cake baker, as I’m sure I would have gotten what I ordered from him.
Worth EVERY cent. I would hold another gathering there in a heartbeat!

I have not been to this restaurant, but I’m looking to see if any of you have been. Also, I just emailed the general manager (found his email though the restaurant’s website) and asked him about the prices. This was his response:
«Most chophouses don’t advertise their prices do to the fact that Prime meat prices will vary from time to time. Which in return well give a false price quote online. Our steak range from 29 to 55 dollars and they are all Prime meats. We also have several fish and other protein options. We also have one of the best wine lists in North Carolina and also a great smoke free lounge which we have some giant Martini’s and a wonderful cheese chart served table side.»
Sounds pretty good — yeah?
