There were also a few menu changes at Yachtsman Steakhouse. For starters, the Crab Louie Revisited is no longer available. And the 10-ounce Rocky Mountain Lamb Chop has been replaced with the 12-ounce Kurobuta Pork Chop. We were super happy to notice a few price DECREASES. The Twice Fried Green Circle Chicken appears to be $2 less, down to $34 from $36.
