Englewood, Florida's Premier
Steak & Seafood Restaurant Rooted in Tradition, Flavor, & Community
A Celebration of Craftsmanship and Comfort.
Chophouse285 embraces the timeless craft of authentic steakhouses by offering one of Florida’s rare walk-in dry-aging rooms, featuring a Himalayan salt wall and a custom wood-burning grill by legendary grill maker Chris Demant, delivering steaks with unparalleled depth of flavor. Our signature cuts, paired with a wide selection of expertly crafted menu items, offer guests a new twist on the classics stemming from Englewood’s beloved Farlow’s on the Water. All of our pasta is hand-rolled and made in-house, and we fillet every fish on-site to guarantee the freshest seafood on Florida’s West Coast. With Laurie Farlow’s Southern charm and Keith Farlow’s Caribbean spirit, Chophouse285 is a hidden gem of Old Florida, nestled on historic Dearborn Street.
