Food not only exceptional but so is the staff. Chef Stephen is so creative, kind and knowledgeable. Our server was outstanding. Definitely a special spot in our city! Thank you!“

We came here two years ago for the first time, and the place was as good as we remembered. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Chicago. Thanks, Dan?“

“We celebrated our 30th Anniversary here and it did not disappoint! Lobster cargot could’ve been a meal by itself!! The filet mignon was cooked perfectly.

The view couldn’t have been better.“

“This place is hands down the best restaurant in the city. The food is unreal good I mean like go out for milk and never come back good. The head partner chef Joe Rizza is a Jedi in the kitchen and an absolute class act. He always makes time to come say hi when we stop in. Main reason why I like going. Besides the fact that the prices r normal but the food is anything but. #amazing love the location love the vibe u have to go“

“An absolute standout! The atmosphere is perfect, the service is top-notch, and my ribeye was cooked to perfection. And let's not talk about how good the wagyu cookies are with a glass of milk—yum! A must-visit for anyone craving a world-class meal. I can’t wait to go back.“

“I absolutely loved this place. Service was excellent and food was even better. I came here on the recommendation of a friend and this will be my go to place every time I’m back in town. Love the vibe here also.“

“This place was such a vibe & SO welcoming!! This was my first time in Chicago with my besties. My friend made a reservation for us & I am so glad she did! This place has a cozy & intimate feel with the perfect low/ambient lighting (we hate a big light!!). We were immediately greeted with champagne & good energy. They added a cute, personal message on our menus that they gifted us to take home 💕 I ordered the grilled forza burger with fries, & my friends ordered the 10 oz flat iron steak. We also shared the truffle parm fries & they were 10/10! Everything tasted amazinggggg!! Not to mention, they accommodate if you have gluten sensitivities and/or allergies. I recommend coming here for truly any occasion! Coming back next time I visit, loved our experience here 🌃💫“

“First time I went was tonight and it was magnifico. Excellent service not too busy and cozy. Great food. I will definitely get back and have another meal there really recommended.“

“We secured a banquet room (actually the veranda!) for a rehearsal dinner (wedding was down the street at the Chicago Hilton) for a party of 35. Caroline was fantastic to work with and gave us all the information we needed and offered suggestions where it helped.
The food was delicious, the service perfection and the atmosphere on the veranda second to none in the area!!!!
If you're looking for a place to host a group - for any occasion - I highly recommend CFH. Just wonderful....“

“Really enjoyed our dinner at A+ Italian Steakhouse! Great food (quality of the steaks is excellent!!), amazing drinks, and delicious desserts. Everything was fresh and flavorful, and the service was excellent. Definitely a place we’ll be back to!“

“Best Place on earth! Service is impecable and the food is off the charts. Wine selection is vast with many offerings.“

“There are so many great things about this place. We went for our anniversary and this place was terrific about helping us feel special on this day. The food was just fabulous and Matthew our server was just outstanding. Every other support person was just excellent as well from the hostesses at the front door to the guys that are helping clear the tables. This place really sets the Bar very high for any other restaurant.“

“Beautiful Birthday dinner here in one of the cabanas. Liked the privacy and obscuridad the cabanas and low lights gave. Flavors of soup , scallops, and rib eye were great. Definitely recommend for a date night or girls night 😍“

“My good friend Lisa took me there and it tasted great! Service is also great“

“Dinner was excellent. Stopped in for a quick bite with spouse, as we were visiting in Chicago and our hotel was around the corner. Our server, Olivia, was excellent. Great warmth and personality. The table next to us was a bit loud, but that had to do with the individual and not the restaurant. As expected at Capital Grille, food was on point. As was the Negroni that I had.“

“Where do I start… service 100 percent professional and helpful, knowledgeable about wine pairings, food was the best from start to finish. Me and my wife go to a steakhouse in every city we visit and let me tell you it’s hard to nail all aspects of dining,apps, mains, dessert, and wine, but RPM blew me away! This is my #1 steakhouse I have visited in the world…I have been to 30 plus states, 15 countries and nothing has come close to this experience.“

“Exceptional progressive menu, engaging chef team, delicious and interesting food, thoughtful wine pairings, just a really charming experience overall. I loved the amuse of beef tartare, roe, and pine nuts in a tiny pastry shell, loved the slightly sweet pate a choux with a buttery slice of beef, loved the fermented accents-- ramps, kumquat, pineapple, loved that the beef never felt overwhelming, loved every single pastry bite and the caviar supplement is a MUST honestly. 10/10 for both food and hospitality.“

“Excellent food, drinks, and service! Especially the bone marrow butter with the mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked steaks. Steaks can come out sliced so it's easy to share different kinds of food and create your own family style. Elegantly decorated with nice song choices. Great for families, date night, or outing with friends. Go check them out. So nice to have a quality steak house in the neighborhood.“

“The food and ambience are great - exactly what you would expect from an old fashion steakhouse. What surprised me was the excellent service, which is an exception rather than the rule at even the most expensive restaurants these days. There is a genuine interest in knowing that they are meeting the customer's expectations.“

“This place is a gem!! Would highly recommend to any of my friends and will definitely be going back. Amazing food and service. Relaxing, beautiful atmosphere outside on the deck. I’ve lived in Chicago, NYC, and LA and this is one of my favorite places.“

“This is one of my favorite new spots in Chicago! If you haven’t tried their Sunday Roast you are missing out! The flavors are out of this world amazing! The atmosphere is so inviting a beautiful and don’t skip their tasty cocktails! My husband and I loved everything about this location and we appreciate the fantastic service and hospitality by Rachel and the manager Kyle! Would 100% recommend for any Chicago foodies looking for the new Chicago hot spot, delicious food, and unironically an tasty cocktails! 🍽️😋“

“We ate lunch at Michael Jordan’s Steak House in Chicago today. We were greeted with a warm welcome and the hostess helped us with our parking situation. Our server was friendly and quick. Our food was delicious! After our meal the valet parking department went out of their way to help us and we were so appreciative. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend eating here!“

“This is my 3rd time staying at the Thompson and visiting Tavern on Rush..Have to say it’s amazing! From the food, service, and vibe! The manager (Margo) was great and so were all the waitresses! We’ll see you soon! 💯“

“Thanksgiving dinner was so delicious, and we shared some other dishes. The simple lemon cake and a little bit of vanilla ice cream were so good that I didn’t really care for desserts. Our family had a wonderful experience with delicious food!“

“Delicious food & excellent service in a great environment.“

“In a city brimming with culinary options, Perilla Steakhouse stands out as a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a unique and memorable meal. This restaurant is sure to impress and leave a lasting impression.“

“The manager Jason was very attentive and provided excellent service for our party. Steak was delicious and tender and side portions were shareable. Great place to dine if going to a show afterwards as it is situated across the street from the theatre where we watched Anastasia. Thank you Jason and your staff for a memorable meal!“

“A really beautiful restaurant. I can imagine the vibes are even better in winter, when the abundance of light and indoor greenery will provide a solid escape from bitterly cold Chicago. We were happy with the food, though we found the oysters to be a bit on the tiny side. Overall we had a good time and will be back!“

“A GREAT Chicago Steak House! One of THEE BEST!“

“I've been going there for at least 25 yrs if not more. They have the best Mexican food. And many different dishes to choose from. But the best is the service. Staff are the best. Love this restaurant.“

“Ware Ranch Steakhouse:Great Chicago Southside staple, a neighborhood place that has fine food and fantastic service in a very inviting and clean atmosphere. Nice place for family & friends to break bread 🍞 ⭐⭐⭐“

“Absolutely romantic atmosphere and one of the best rib eye steaks I’ve ever had. The Blood of the Unicorn IPA was excellent also. Highly recommended.“

“Delicious food A friendly and capable staff.“

“This was my first time here celebrating my girlfriend birthday. Chris and David made it a great experience. Service was awesome and they made sure we had everything we needed from drinks,, appetizers, , entrees and dessert. The food was so good and it was a fun night . Definitely coming back.“

“Perfect steak and the Lobster was awesome“

“We loved our dining experience at Kinzie! We were only in town for one night, therefore only one dining experience and we nailed it with Kinzie. From the start, Rafael, Cliff, and Matthew welcomed us and made us feel like we were the only people there. Their knowledge of the menu and Rafael’s steak presentation really helped us choose the best dishes for our preferences. Had the rosemary/lavender cocktail, very refreshing. The octopus appetizer and lamb were a great way to start. We selected the ribeye fillet with onion butter and green peppercorn sauce, outstanding, especially the sauce! Cooked to perfection. We also had the potato with bone marrow, my favorite thing on the menu. We will be back for sure!“

“I had a great experience at Tony’s. The restaurant was clean when I walked in, and the young lady who took my order was very pleasant. I ordered a 10-piece chicken meal with legs and thighs, and everyone who tried them thought they were absolutely delicious.“

“Absolutely a phenomenal experience. Food was amazing snd the service was incredible!!“

“Our experience at BLVD was beautiful. Rob was an excellent and attentive server! All of the additional staff members were extremely attentive and added to the warm atmosphere. The drinks, Concrete Jungle and Passion Fruit Milk Punch, were delicious, I couldn’t pick a favorite!! The filet mignon came out perfectly cooked, the tortellini al dente, and the sides were great. Milk roll as an appetizer was tasty too, but the butter portion was quite small compared to the loaf. The desserts were also stellar, highly recommend the coconut sorbet and sticky toffee pudding!!! The only downside was the music. A bit too loud and upbeat which didn’t match the restaurant’s vibe. Overall, I’d give BLVD 4.5 stars.“

“great food..lovely staff..I enjoyed every single item I ordered“

“maravillosa atención típica colombiana“

“An old-style elegance permeates the place. From the moment we walked in, they treated us like we were the only customers in the place. The 10 oz. fillet steak was the best I’ve had in a long time. If you’re a native Chicago resident, you need to ask yourself why you don’t eat here more often.“
