Steakhouse primed for reopening after $1M renovation

BONITA SPRINGS — After being closed since May for a $1 million renovation, Chops City Grill is scheduled to reopen Friday, Oct. 8.

The project included redesigning booths, flooring, ceiling, tables, chairs, walls and lighting. The opening also marks the debut of a new menu, created by chefs Rafelo (Raf) Elisea and Francis Pischner, according to a statement. Located midway between Bonita and Estero near the Coconut Point Mall, the 250-seat upscale Chops City Grill, at 8200 Health Park Blvd., opened Christmas Eve 2001.
