“Phenomenal service, great food“

“In a town that has it all, The Patio stands out for its great staff, amazing atmosphere, and flavorful fare! It really started with the staff. From the time we walked in the door the staff was amazing!! Our waiter Dante was absolutely phenomenal. He didn’t rush us, gathered our drink order, and checked in at just the right times to allow us to make the most of our experience. We started with the French onion soup and Caesar salad. Both were delicious. The Caesar had a bit of its own flare with a soft boiled egg and fresh grated cheese. Next we had the tuna tartare. Fresh tuna coupled with wontons, sesame, and just the right amount of sauce. Our dinner entrees finished off a great date night in the big city. The filet was cooked perfectly and the lobster Mac and cheese had large bits of lobster and a crisp crumble atop a bed of melted cheeses! We can’t recommend the Patio enough! Overall a wonderful night we won’t forget anytime soon!!“

“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.“

“top notch service and extremely high quality meat“

“I was there this past Mother’s Day I was in town visiting my daughter and she made us a reservation. The food was just okay and a little cold I’m sure partially because when the food runner brought the food to our table he set it up and left it was 7 min later when our server showed up to plate the table. Lastly once we were clearly done with our meal it took approximately 20 minutes to get someone to not package our food but to Hand us a box then an additional 15 to find our server to get a check. Now I will say it was very busy being Mother’s Day and all,but I do not believe that is not an excuse for such poor service. I have enjoyed this restaurant several times on my visits to Chicago, but I think this will be my last… Such a shame.“

“Great steaks! Our Server Juan was the BEST!“

“was here a couple of days ago, and this place just never fails to please. the steak sizes are not huge, but perfect size for a meal. it is truly family owned, mama has been here everytime i've been here. it is clean, service is attentive, and the drinks are honest. and hopefully they never change the comfort and ambiance as that is really the best! once you have been here, you'll never forget it and will come back. the only complaint that i have is that the flat iron steak had too many tendons (?). the rib eye and the new york were perfect. order those. and do get the shrimp appetizer, that is just fantastic. if you're coming with friends, any table will do, but if you're coming with a special person, try to get one of the screened in tables for more privacy. this is one of the few restaurants in chicago that offers that. and so you know, this place is extremely comfortable and easily accessible.“

“My husband and I really enjoy great service and paired with good food; it is worth our time and money. Even though our visit was on the spur of the moment, we were able to get a great table. We arrived about 30 min to an hour before the restaurant became full. We were treated the same as those who had prior reservations and we were not rushed.The service/sever was great. Alex was very familiar with the menu, providing excellent descriptions of specials . Alex was attentive, checking to make sure we were enjoying our meal. Alex was also kind and friendly. Our meal (roasted chicken) was delicious. The chicken was cooked to perfection….very tender. If we could change one thing (minor) would be the lemon and caper jus. Flavor/taste was good, but it was just a little too much for us….the mash potatoes (which were tasty) disappeared into the jus. Loved the kale…very tender. Now, for the dessert(s); we are not sure how often the dessert menu changes, but the dessert menu on Saturday, April 12, 2024, presented a hard choice. Saving calories, we opted to share….we chose the Pound Cake filled with warm banana pudding, and drizzled with a rum sauce. This dessert was “De-Lish”, and worth every calorie. The pound cake was moist with a nice texture and the banana pudding was warm and full of flavor. Also, the sauce was so delicious, we tried to get every drop off the plate.?Again, we would recommend Chicago Firehouse!“

“Incredible food and service.“

“Outstanding service, great cocktails and the best steak l have ever had! A complete dining experience that leaves you wanting to come back again and again.“

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

“Loved It. Food was amazing !“

“The food was amazing and the atmosphere briliand. I felt that I was for vacations in a picturesque Greek island, almost felt the fresh air of it. Great experience. Can't wait to go back“

“Tavern on Rush has been known as one of the best places in all of Chicago for the last 25 years. If you sit inside or on the patio you will not be disappointed! You will likely run in friends or celebrities at this chicago staple! All of the food selections are traditionally great options. The chicken Parmesan was a favorite this time around. The Seabass my friends raved of. The espresso martinis and wine where exactly what we needed. Hopefully we’ll make it back before the end of the year!“

“Ambiance and service is unmatched! My friend got the oysters and scallops, says they were the best they've ever had. I got the lamb shank, which pretty much fell off the bone. Broccolini and spinach for sides were okay, anything to rave about, but still yummy! Came during a weeknight and they had a nice crowd despite the rain. I would def come here again to celebrate or just have a nice dinner.“

“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.“

“My Son surprised me with a birthday dinner party at Steak 48 on May 13, 2024. We had a party of nine. The food was delicious, the drinks were outstanding. The dinner rolls were exceptionally tasty. I really enjoyed myself, Except the waiter. He was RUDE, non personable, pressured and rushed us to make up our mine for selecting our food. Nothing about him was nice. The party was well over a total of $800.00 and I felt as though we should have received better service. The waiter that filled out water glasses was very nice as well as the gentleman that brought out the food. The young lady that assisted with the side orders was so sweet and helpful. The only person in that entire restaurant that was mean and rude was our Waiter. Please avoid this man at all cost.“

“Chop House really impressed us. Excellent Steaks (prime rib, Ribeye, Mac & cheese). It was our first time visiting from Arizona & wanted to try something local. Chop house exceeded our expectations, all personnel went above & beyond with service & explaining menu options. Our waitress was awesome my kids loved how nice she was. (Forgot her name :( Carlos was also really nice & kind to us. I definitely recommend.“

“Came here to celebrate my anniversary and wow, the staff was so amazing. I wish I could remember everyone's names but my visit was on 5.14 at around 1pm. The entire staff was kind and made our experience! Devon was our server and he ensured we had a pleasant experience. He is very kind and down to earth. Looking forward to returning soon!“

“Servers Matt and Emily were amazing! I had the skirt steak and my fiancé had the short rib bolognese and a baked potato. All were cooked to perfection! Brustle sprouts were incredibly crispy! The blueberry crumb cake was to die for! Chef TJ did a phenomenal job. Rosebud Steakhouse is number 1! Best restaurant out there! Owners Steve and Angelo have outdone themselves.“

“My husband and I had dinner at Carson’s tonight. Everything was amazing and we ate way too much! Best meal I have had in a long time.“

“all very rich.. without a doubt a place where I will return on my next vacation“

“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!“

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

“I had filet and shrimp, they were excellent. Fast and great service. Would definitely recommend“

“quality food at decent prices. friendly staff never a bad time when you to Mexico Steakhouse. don't miss out on a hidden Gem.“

“Best steak. Ordered the 10z filet medium rare and it was grilled to perfection“

“I love Nisos and always rave about it, telling friends and people I meet that they need to go! I was here with my best friend having dinner, and it was her first time at Nisos. At first, the service was excellent. Our waiter allowed us to order off the happy hour menu with just five minutes left to spare. He regularly checked on us and was kind until the end of the dinner when I noticed the price of our drinks was not the price on the happy hour menu. When I politely told him the price was in accurate, he started getting really snarky. Apparently they hadn't updated the online menu prices. I was taking it back by his attitude because I was very nice about asking and understanding that the pricing was off. I don't think I'll ever recommend anyone to go here again and I won't be back any time soon.“
