“First, and foremost - The Best Dinner I have ever had. Mixed Green Salad - Fresh, inviting and simple. Short Rib Beignets - To Die For! A Beignet stuffed with Braised Short Rib, brilliant. Tar Tare of Boeuf - What carnivore doesn't enjoy a good Tar Tare Ceci Bean Cavatelli - One of the best pasta dishes of my life. Escargot - Is it the snails that make it or the Garlic Oil you sop up with bread? Answer: Either one, just scrumptious. Ora King Salmon - Simple but the Tarragone brunne banc and caviar, and flawless cooking technique, makes this a top class seafood classic. 55 Day Dry Age T-Bone Steak - Cooked perfectly, well seasoned, if you have an issue with this steak, maybe you should of stopped and McDonalds for a happy meal. This in one of the best steaks in Chicago. Roasted Mushroom - Simple and delectable. Boeuf Fat Fries - Amazing, Hot and Crispy. Not a vegan option. BoeufHaus a must visit.“
“The attention to detail this restaurant has is unmatched. Was greeted with complimentary soup and each table was purposely separated by a translucent curtain. Food was fantastic, and great portions for an upscale meal. Must visit if you want an intimate, romantic dining “
“Awesome steakhouse in Rivers casino! We love Gibson's/Hugo's downtown, so it's always fun to go to this location at the casino. Steak, salads, cocktails, wine, desserts, all amazing! Service is great and the manager always seems to be around and checking in with tables. Always a fantastic experience“
“My son had done some photography (OMWP Photography 2108 Armitage) work for the business and had tried the cuisine. Raved about it. Sent me photos. Hence why we were there tonight. I took him out. My pleasure. The owner Zyra gracious and caring. I had Potato soup that was incredible. A Chicken Tostada Zyras moms recipe and she made a couple changes the sauces wow! The steaks I had a Ribeye. One of the best ever. I have dined at all the high end eateries steak joints in the city. This place is a gem. Had to try the desert. We had a chocolate flourless fudge cake. We indulged. I wish Zyra and her husband much success. Jacob Kaufman and I will be back. Thanks, L. Kaufman DDS“
“Well, this restaurant really does the job! I haven't been to a place that would make such an impression on me for a long time. Everything is perfect here, delicious steaks, great service, unique atmosphere. Of course, entry only after prior reservation. It's very expensive, but it's worth it, oh so worth it! I ate probably the best steak of my life (Chicago Cut), prepared exactly as I wished, with grilled green asparagus and home fries, drinking great red wine recommended by the waiter. I have never seen such service in person, the people working here are passionate, truly dedicated to their job and they are true professionals! I can recommend this place with a clear conscience!“
“I enjoy this restaurant. They have a great bar and make a wonderful old fashioned. Their oysters Rockefeller are out of this world. Best I have ever had and I’ve been to Antoine’s. Crispy chicken wasn’t. It was in a sauce and wasn’t special. Cheesecake Factory has better elote, and Jimmys hotdogs on Grand has better fries. We have had the steaks in the past and they are very good. Yesterday was like eating at a McDonalds playland. The couple seated after me saw where the host was going and said no, they wanted the remote room. I’ll remember that. You can at least have the adults in a quieter area. The service wasn’t great. It took 15 minutes for the waitress to come and get the drink order. Not exaggerating. A group who came after us were served dinner before we got our appetizers. The host came over often but it seemed kind of odd. They couldn’t figure out how to give us separate checks. But I’ll go back and have oysters as an entree or a steak.“
“My husband and I went here for Valentine's day and had a very enjoyable meal! The shrimp appetizer was outstanding and my steak was great. Drinks were good. My husband ordered the tiramisu which was tasty but was quite small for the price.The tables were a little too close for comfort in the one room. Hope to come back and eat in the other room where it seemed the tables were spaced out a little more.We came here on a recommendation and was not disappointed.“
“As always, Chef Paul’s restaurants are right on point. Katherine and I collectively have been to Vistro (Prime) a few times . . . and the food, craft cocktails, and atmosphere make for an excellent social and culinary experience. It was wonderful to see Patrick doing the Mixology while the other restaurant is in process of opening apparently this spring.This time around, Katherine and I stopped by for a craft cocktail, and we ended up enjoying the happy hour oysters that were very good.I have never offered a single suggested critique of Vie or Vistro.The only request I have is for the manager of Vistro Prime is to check the barstools at the bar.My barstool was wobbly, and it likely/ simply needs to be tightened up. I’m a handy person and have constructed and repaired barstools; so possibly, the hardware for some of your barstools needs to be tightened up and or repaired.They are beautiful barstools!Other than that, I completely recommend Vistro Prime to every and anyone that receives this review and all my friends and family as always!“
“I have mixed feelings. It was Easter "Saturday" in the mid-afternoon and the place was packed. Instead of waiting an hour for a table our party went to the bar area. While Nancy the bartender was sweet and tried her best to care for everyone as best as possible, she was overwhelmed. Management did not seem to be present to support and the service was slower than it needed to be. We were pressed to take my sister to the airport and shared this up front and while they put in the appetizers, forgot to put in our main order. We waited for over an hour. Right when we were literally about to get up and "call the audible" to leave, management brought our food out. We took a few bites (of which it was fresh and well seasoned) but had to pack it up and leave. Again Nancy was great and food was fresh but it was painful to see the bartender struggle unnecessarily when there appeared to be plenty of staff that could have delivered a better sense of urgency to provide collaborative support.“
“The food at Saban's can't be beat. We had the pork chops. They were cooked to perfection, delicious, beautiful presentation, plentiful amounts enough for another meal. The service was great. And the prices are like going back in time. I seriously don't know why anyone would want to eat any place else.“
“I went to Stacy’s a few weeks ago to have dinner and listen to a friend of mine who was performing there that evening. I had steak and french fries and salad and soup and it was all outstanding and all for a very reasonable price. Great atmosphere terrific service and unbelievably delicious food. I will definitely be back there soon.“
“We come here every few months for some brown bread and Victoria filet. However on this particular visit the steak was just not doing it for me… The server Stacy, bless her heart, went above and beyond to help make our meal right. She offered alternatives… which I was not quite into. They threw in a free dessert to help make things right. Both Stacy and the manager Lindsay made me feel at ease about my concerns. All in all, our experience went from so so to pretty nice. Thank you Stacy and Lindsay, until next time!“
“A Culinary Masterpiece: Exquisite Beef WellingtonI recently had the pleasure of experiencing the epitome of culinary excellence at shallots. Words can hardly encapsulate the divine delight that was their Beef Wellington. As a seasoned food enthusiast, I've traversed the (kosher) gastronomic landscape far and wide, yet never have I encountered a dish as sublime as this.From the moment the plate graced our table, it was evident that this was no ordinary Beef Wellington. The golden-brown pastry shell, flawlessly crimped and glistening, hinted at the delectable treasure hidden within.Upon slicing through the delicate crust, I was met with a succulent medley of flavors. The tender, melt-in-your-mouth beef, perfectly cooked to medium-rare perfection, nestled amidst a symphony of earthy mushrooms and rich, aromatic duxelles. Each bite was a harmonious fusion of textures and tastes, leaving me utterly spellbound.But what truly elevated this Beef Wellington to legendary status was the chef's meticulous attention to detail. Every component was executed with precision and finesse, culminating in a culinary masterpiece that transcended mere sustenance.As I savored each exquisite morsel, I couldn't help but marvel at the chef's ingenuity and dedication. This was not just a meal; it was an experience—an unforgettable journey through the realms of taste and indulgence.To the chef behind this culinary triumph, I extend my sincerest gratitude. You have not only created the best Beef Wellington I've ever had the pleasure of tasting, but you have also crafted one of the top five dishes I've ever been served. Tonight, you should go home with your head held high, knowing that you have left an indelible mark on my palate and heart alike.“
“The food was great! It took a bit of time for seating but afterwards the service was amazing and everything was prompt. I had the outlaw ribeye with the parmesan crust and it was cooked perfectly to medium rare. It was a big portion and well worth the cost!Would definitely come back again when I'm craving steak!“
“Had the porkchops, it was enough for three people and was incredibly good. The restaurant is a well oiled machine, just getting people in, fed, and out the door. Everything was fine, no complaints. Just not relaxed and quaint for my taste but this is what you should expect from a good steakhouse in the center of a popular higher end shopping center.We went on a Saturday night and Parking was a nightmare.“
“Gibsons was hands down a 10/10 experience. My girlfriend and I had our anniversary dinner here and everything was superb. From not having to wait for our reserved table to the amazing service by our waitress. We loved the presentation of the different type of meats. Our appetizer was delicious and the cuts of meat served to us were made to our liking. Make sure to save some room for dessert they essentially bring you a whole cake hahaha. Worth every dollar. Will be coming back here for special events.“
“The best “fish fry” that we’ve experienced thus far in downtown Elmhurst or possibly all of Chicago!!! Why do you ask? The owner / management team (Dominic Ranieri & Nicolette Ranieri) aims to please by offering the true and proper “haddock and chips”! The batter is perfectly proportionate to the size of the fillet and not greasy. Then comes one of the best old fashions we’ve had. Why? Their amazing bartender, Evey, knows exactly how we prefer them and she never disappoints. Last, but certainly not least, the service is always impeccable from our most favorite waitress, @Alisandra Mondrella! She’s prompt, professional, and always with a smile! Thank you again for the first class experience!!!“
“I have never been to Longhorn Steakhouse. The food was good. Everything was cooked perfect and our service was on point for the restaurant being busy.Parking: Normal parking lot for this type of place. Plenty of spots when we went.Kid-friendliness: Family style environment“
“I wanted the Cheeseburger with some Spicy fries. I watched him grill it and flip it a few feet away from me. The sizzle crackled and popped to prepare me for that first bite. I smashed the bread a little bit to cut my burger in half properly. The juices escaped the sides and left it's mark on my plate. Some of the fries couldn't escape it's reach.I forgot to take a picture for you, but I promise you (this place makes burgers better than anyone I could think of). When you go, go soon, and please take a picture of your burger for me yes? Oh, and tip the waitress (no less than $10.00).“
“As a Chicago wedding photographer, Homestead on the Roof is a venue that captivates me every time I shoot there. Nestled atop a cozy rooftop garden, it offers a unique and intimate setting for weddings. The lush greenery and rustic charm create a picturesque backdrop for photos. The staff's attention to detail ensures that every moment is captured beautifully, making it a joy to photograph weddings at Homestead on the Roof.“
“Service was good, food was great, drinks/food pricey but as expected, comfortable atmosphere! Recommend to anybody traveling through looking for a great steakhouse. The bar area was very comfortable for anybody not wanting to dress up fancy. Stop by and give it a try!“
“***OUTSTANDING SERVICE*** Excellent foodThe entire staff was beyond incredible. MJ’s Steak house exceeded expectations. I hosted my son and mothers birthday dinner her on Thursday, 3/21/24 and so happy I did. I called ahead to ensure reservations were set and was greeted with the kindness hostess I have ever spoken to Kayla I believe was her name. Professional and kind which set the tone of the evening. Ambience was excellent. The extra care and detail put into the birthday dessert was personal & special. Our waiter was named Jose, he offered some great recommendations. Jump man cocktail was tasty and cool. Rum sangria with edible flower was really good. The appetizers packed with flavor. We ordered crab cake, which was so buttery and good. The wagyu meatballs fresh and seasoned. Signature blue cheese bread is a must. My mother ordered the short rib truffle pasta great portions very tasty. Nice size Shrimps in the shrimp and grits. Spotlight has to go to the Tomahawk which was Succulent, Juicy & Delicious. Mashed potatoes/ Mac & cheese were great sides. Highly recommend. Great choice for intimate dinner, group dinning or to celebrate special occasions.Parking: Free parking lot plenty of space.Kid-friendliness: Great kid options. Provides a cool coloring activity.“
“Ruben was our server (Oakbrook). I come from a restaurant background. Ruben is an EXCELLENT server. Friendly, helpful, and totally competent with the whole dining experience. Our food was hot and delicious, Ruben checked in on us just when he should. Also, the 2 bussers were phenomenal at keeping our table cleared and clean. I always know I am in for a treat at Wildfire. I am not just gushing here, the place is a machine of food/drink/ and experience enjoyment. Thank you for a great Night! A. Meo“
“A hidden GEM! The food was quality. The pricing was affordable. The staff were welcoming and proud to work there. They love their jobs and it showed with the quality of service and of course the perfectly cooked steak and other dishes they were delicious. I definitely recommend this place. The only thing I didn't like were statues and figures of pigs on the mantle by the wine. I would definitely get rid of that it takes away from the ambiance. Overall definitely returning and recommending this to friends and family.“
“I had high expectations to visit this restaurant , I know this branch from another country and expected an awesome experience and meal. The entrance was connected to the hotel, the restaurant was not busy when I visited. When sat, got the brown bread with butter (but was stale). The soup was good and main was decent. Aussie fries was good! Food and service has a room for improvement. Price was good, not expensive.“
“This place has definitely changed over the last 20+ yrs. The night shift cook has watched me grow from a young adult into a family man. It's a place that is very dear to my heart. The only thing that would have made this last experience 5 star experience for me personally. I missed the old night shift crew to enjoy my meal with old familiar faces and catching up with them. Otherwise, this place still got it even with the new cooks and unfamiliar daytime crew. They are all 5 stars!“
“Had reservations for a Saturday night, the place was PACKED. The Server said they weren't expecting the volume they had and were short staffed. She made up for it. Hustled, the entire staff was hustling.The food was excellent, steak was perfection. All phases of the meal were on point.Give this vintage restaurant a try. There's a reason it's still there after all these years.“
“I went the first time and didn’t really have a good experience with a blonde at the desk up front since they were pretty rude. However, I went back a second time to give it another shot. Paulina was my server and she was really sweet. Thanks to her, I enjoyed my experience this time and it really made my day :)“
“I was on a first date here about a week ago, and it was amazing. The food was incredible, but the service was even better. My evening was handled by a server named George. He was very knowledgeable about the wine selection and catered to every special need I had. He was so warm and welcoming and never missed a beat. I would like to thank him again as well as request his services. You were impeccable George!“
“Golden Steer never disappoints. The food is always delicious. It is just as good if not better than city steakhouses without the downtown prices. My husband and I have been coming here for years and the quality and service is just as great as ever. Congratulations to Elba for keeping things great if not better than ever! Brought a group of 7 in last week and every single person at the table was beyond impressed. We had fish, steak, lamb chops and more. All were fabulous!“
