Charged for an unordered desert that was brought out unprompted. Deceptive about water options, did not make it clear that tap water was an option so we paid for a bottle of still. Pushed after dinner drinks. Will not return!
Eaten here many times - food was just a little off from normal. Taste was fine, but not hot as if just prepared. Had a long lag between salad and entree, perhaps food was just sitting.
This is absolutely one of my favorite places in Chicago. I'm not a fan of 75 day dry aged beef that has the juices of beef jerkey which seems to be the only thing available in all the other Chicago steak houses. G&G is wet aged, so you get a flavorful and juicy steak that just hits. The service was great, and we had an absolute blast.
Great food and great service. Such a cute, homey place. Only complaint was that the back room where we were sat felt 15° warmer than everywhere else in the restaurant.
We went here for restaurant week (how we like to try some of the Chicago classic spots where we get to try what the restaurant thinks is best!) and were pretty disappointed by the Chicago classic. The ambience and service are great and it's a nice restaurant where you can actually have a conversation without being drowned out by noise, but the food really fell short. The calamari and fries were woefully under-salted and the chicken Parm was flavorless and dry with a mushy pasta as a side. A partially redeeming quality was a flavorful steak, although I was served a near blue steak after asking for medium rare. At this point, I wouldn't recommend for dinner service, but maybe go for a nice glass of wine or cocktail
I moved to Chicago in 1985 and had dined to most of its popular restaurants. This is my first time here and we really enjoyed our meal. Traditional Italian food. Happy to come back again. Thank you!
Always a good experience at Gene and Georgetti's. Great quality meal. Amazing customer service! Felt like I was dining at a family members home. Warm environment.
A group of us go to Chicago during December to shop, eat, drink and be merry. G & G has been on our list for some time. The food is mediocre at best. The service was mediocre. This guy couldn’t get us out of there fast enough. He’s been there awhile. Expensive. For the money and experience, we have enjoyed so many other places. If you are on limited time in Chicago, go somewhere else.
Crowded as always but the bustle is expected and fun. Cozy decor. Food was somewhat disappointing this time though. Soupy creamed spinach, flavorless filet, overdressed Caesar salad, but a nice burrata salad. Good wine list and a very good cosmopolitans (ask for Cointreau). Valet parking is nice. Great service!
Top notch all the way around. Celebrated my parents retiring and they loved the experience there.

There's a reason it's been here forever! My first time dining here but not the last. Arrived early for my reservation and sat at the bar for about 30 min; excellent service and ambiance. Our meal was outstanding. We had baked clams, the bone in ribeye and onion rings for our side. Cooked perfectly! The service is attentive and warm, the vibe and mood everywhere is “old school Chicago” with a hint of Wisconsin supper club. A delightful place to celebrate any occasion. Of note is even though it was busy, you could comfortably talk and hear one another which is hard to find downtown! I can't wait to return. Thanks G&G!
Great food and excellent service. Definitely enjoyed the entire experience. We will be back soon.
We were a family group of 8 ages 16 to 87 and all of us were very satisfied with our experience. We hope to make this a regular gathering spot in the future.
Very good Thanksgiving food, excellent service, loved the ambience. A memorable experience overall.
Treat yourself to one of Chicago's storied restaurants that earns its great reputation anew every day. The soups here are especially delicious. Everything is excellent. Enjoy Chicago's own Gene & Georgetti!
