“This place was so good! Great atmosphere, steaks were perfect, and the bruleed sweet potatoes were really fantastic. The server Alyssa was very accommodating for gluten free diet, and she also turned off the fans because I was cold! Hope to be back.“

“good to sit and foods also good“

“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“

“Insanely great! We just brought foodies from NY to try Trinos who said they “Only wish it was in NY” and “Best meal I’ve had in a long time. Better than great”. 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 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. Teriyaki green beans were also a favorite of ours along with the Mac n cheese. You have w to get dessert! We had the chocolate ganache cake and strawberry sundae. Jeff our server was amazing ! The view couldn’t have been better.“

“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 😍“

“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!“

“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.“

“Dan was an awesome waiter. His spontaneity and attentiveness made us feel very welcome. The vibe on Monday night was nice and quiet for us. 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?“

“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.“

“This is one of my favorite places ever, for a succulent , mouthwatering , epic , divine , romantic , dining experience suitable for everyday or very special events . Very romantic , intimate atmosphere .The steaks will transport you to another dimension . The staff is very professional , yet warm , welcoming , very attentive and devoted to making sure you are taken care of . An exquisite sensory experience ,engaging all of the senses , and exceeding my expectations in spades .“

“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.“

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

“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 🌃💫“

“We had a wonderful dinner here celebrating my wife’s birthday, it was truly a memorable evening. The restaurant was warm, comfortable, and inviting, the staff made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. We enjoyed the chicken piccata and the porterhouse steak, both were excellent. A special thank you to our waiter, Edion, who was friendly, attentive, and made our evening even more enjoyable. We were especially glad he recommended the arancini, they were delicious! Overall, it was a fantastic experience with great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional service. We will definitely be back!“

“Firehouse Steakhouse Chicago delivers on every level exceptional food, perfectly cooked steaks and outstanding service. The staff were welcoming, attentive and made the entire experience memorable. Incredible flavor, great atmosphere and first-class hospitality. Highly recommended!“

“This was more of a 3.5 for food. The steak was flawless but the sides lack consistency, texture and flavor. The sides felt rushed like they were a second thought.

The servers were also rushing through service. The seating is so close to cram in as many guests as possible. It takes away from the luster and elegance it should have.“

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

“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.“

“I would like to say that I have been to this restaurant twice, once for my birthday and most recently for my anniversary. Both times, I truly enjoyed my experience! The first time, I had the lamb, and this time I had the steak. The service is supreme and truly top of the top and the biscuits...OMG! They are absolutely delicious! My husband had the pork chops and he loved them. He is still talking about those pork chops! 😂 I do have one complaint and it's the same one I had during my first visit: the food is a little too salty, especially the meat. It seems like salt is added to everything, even the biscuits. As good as those biscuits are, they could definitely use a little less salt. Other than that, I have no complaints. I will definitely be coming back again! I will be asking the chef to go easy on the salt. 😊 Thank you for making my anniversary special and for providing such wonderful service. I look forward to visiting again!“

“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.“

“Initially we had a few issues. The room wasn’t ready and the kids were fussy and tired but the hotel gave us free deserts in the restaurant Adorn. They were amazing. The customer service was excellent. We finally got to our beautiful room with spectacular views and were very happy but the kids stuff that we requested wasn’t there. They again made up for it and went over and beyond. The kids loved getting an ice cream party, robes and treats. Four Seasons is an outstanding hotel. We will definitely be back. We’ve been home for 2 days and the kids already want to go back!“

“Great experience at Rosebud Steakhouse before seeing Jekyll & Hyde at the Water Tower. From the moment we arrived, the staff knew our show time and made sure everything was perfectly timed. Eddie, our waiter, was fantastic—attentive, friendly and made the evening feel effortless. We shared the mussels in Diablo sauce, shrimp cocktail, wedge salad and a 12 oz filet. The filet was beautifully presented on a carving board and sliced perfectly for sharing. The mashed potatoes and corn off the cob were also delicious. The entire staff was wonderful, and the service was exceptional. A great dinner and the perfect way to start a night at the theater. We'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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! 🍽️😋“

“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.“

“After TOR moved across the street, I haven't been back in almost a year until now. We enjoyed our dinner experiences here in the past but we have never been here for brunch until today, and this was a treat.
The brunch offering here is amazing. Given the location in the V-triangle, the food quality and pricing are far better than anything across the street and corners.
The Kale and Apple salad was crisp, refreshing, with raisins and pickled onions, a little bit of cheese and lemon juice, refreshing. The burrata and prosciutto is above average, the tangerine slice on top adds more citrus and sweet to the salty flavor of the prosciutto similar to the effect of figs, perfect for the spring and summer. The wow factors were on the Chicken and Churro Waffle and the Short Rib Benedict. I didn't expect the size of the fried chicken on top of the waffle, and definitely not that piece of pork belly on top of it. Holy h***! The fried chicken isn't a couple of deep fried chicken strips or nuggets, it is a large, hammered, flattened, tender, and thick piece of chicken breast, and it is lightly seasoned, you can barely see the waffle underneath. The same for the pork belly, it is not heavily seasoned so you can actually enjoy the meat flavor. There is maple syrup and a home made hot sauce on the side. Be carful though, the hot sauce is very intense, there is got to be some habanero in there. Try it for taste before pouring or dipping. The Short Rib Benedict also went beyond my expectations. Aside from the perfectly poached eggs and the bits and pieces of fried brussel sprouts that adds amazing contrast in flavors designed for your palate, the short rib was not in the typical shredded strings. They are in large thick chunks. This is the real deal right here, they don't hold back on the amount either. Super tender.
I will start coming back here once a week now, just for those 2 items.“

“Absolutely exceptional. Tom's incredible expertise, helpful recommendations, and amazing personality elevated the entire dining experience. The food. Oh my goodness the food. The oysters were perfection, the steak divine, the potatoes good lord. Every single bite was honestly perfect. We loved it from start to finish and can't wait to come back!! I can't remember the last time I left a review, but this dinner blew me out of the water. I had to share!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious food A friendly and capable staff.“

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

“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 🍞 ⭐⭐⭐“

“Perfect steak and the Lobster was awesome“

“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.“

“We had an absolutely wonderful dinner and a huge part of that was our waiter, Cliff. He was exceptional from start to finish friendly, attentive, knowledgeable
and genuinely made us feel welcome. You could tell he truly cared about making sure we had a great experience.

The food was delicious, but Cliff’s service is what really stood out and made our evening special. Excellent service like his deserves to be recognized. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for Cliff - you won’t be disappointed!

Thank you, Cliff, for making our dinner such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!“

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

“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.“

“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“
