Just incredible. Steaks were perfect, mashed potatoes are super tasty, drinks were well made. Loved the atmosphere too. My favorite place in the area. Pricey but completely worth it.

I’ve been here twice, once for dinner and once for brunch. Both times the food was well worth the price. The staff is extremely attentive, on brand with a classic Chicago steakhouse. The dining room is lively and brunch was very kid friendly. Cocktails also very good.Parking: Valet or street parkingKid-friendliness: Our infant daughter was welcome for brunch and other young kids were also there with parents

Just took my fiancée out for her 30th birthday and we are already wanting to go back. Exceptional service, quality of food, and atmosphere. Thanks for a memorable evening and looking forward to our next visit.
Last night started off a little rocky (20 minute wait after reserving 3 weeks in advance, first table offered was a high top in the noisy bar). Then the professional and polite service kicked into overdrive, and resulted in an exceptional experience. Neil (a manager) and Fernando (our server) were both extremely attentive. A perfect martini to start. The crispy lobster and shishitos appetizer was great. Wedge was a little dry. The filet was perfect, as was the spicy crab Campanelle. The key lime was a little too tart, but the butterscotch sundae was great. What made the evening, however, was the friendly and professional service. Will definitely return.
This restaurant was a joy to attend, the atmosphere was beautiful, the drinks were absolutely delicious, and the steak was soft and tender enough to disappear in your mouth. Try this restaurant with your family.

5 stars isn’t enough. Incredibly gracious,knowledgeable and friendly staff. We went for a birthday dinner and they took special steps to make sure the dinner was unforgettable. Our waitress, Zusy, was kind, patient and took extra care with our child who has food allergies.The filet, salmon, brussel sprouts and chicken were delicious.We are excited to go back soon.
This place is awesome and the waiter is super nice. The waiter brought us to our table very quickly and asked to hang our coats. The service was amazing and the food came very quickly. The booth was also very comfy. They helped make my birthday AMAZING! The Caesar salad was perfect and the salmon was perfect. I definitely recommend!

Crazy expensive but extremely good food. Would have been 5 stars but the fact that a steak by itself is $45 base and doesn't even come with any sides is wild. They charge $45+ minimum for just a steak and then the cheapest side to add on is $11 for basic fries is crazy. Don't get me wrong the steak is fantastic but that just seems crazy to charge that much for a tiny side order of fries, mashed potatoes or anything else. $13 for a small side mashed potatoes!? Again fantastic food but for $11 for a side add on is nuts. If you have a big appetite this may not be the place for you, but if you can be satisfied with just a bear bones $45 flat iron steak you'll be fine.Dietary restrictions: They are very allergen conscious and careful. Definitely a plus.

We had a fantastic dinner. The Steaks are wonderfully flavorful. Vegetable sides and the half chicken was soo delicious. We didn't have a reservation on a Saturday night but they found a great table for us immediately. Service was impeccable. I recommend this Steak House 100 percent!
