Gibson's is one of my favorite steakhouses in the city. The food is so good. I highly recommend the filet as well as the mashed potatoes. The desserts are out of this world - try the Muddy Bottom, which has oreo crust, ice cream and macadamia nuts. Definitely a fun place for dinner as well, with great people watching.
Pros: Great location, amazing steak, fabulous desserts
Cons: Long wait if you don't have reservations

Diverse crowd. Bomb music. Always poppin'. Great dance floor. This place is off the hook. BONUS: The bartenders are fantastic. We got a drink that was patron and Ty Ku liqueur. The bottle lights up. Legit.
Go here for a fun night.

I have been coming here since a kid with my Pop. It used to be a little bit too "gentlemen with cigars and mistresses" -oriented when I was young, however, that has changed and it is welcoming to everyone now and quite good for family gatherings. The roasted chicken and NY strip are the best dishes, and when my son was with me, they always would just cook him whatever he wanted (usually an alfredo dish). Don't go unless you are HUNGRY since the steaks are giant. If you don't like medium rare you really need to stress that--I like fairly rare steak but as the steaks are thick you have to request a longer cook time if you don't want it pretty pink. Staff here are much more accommodating for kids compared to other 'macho' steak joints. Many happy memories here.
Pros: steak, kind staff
Cons: pretty pricey but can't complain on the steaks

RL has it all, from decor, service,food,to ambience and atmosphere.RL maintains a posh and elegant scene, our server was very helpful and on point.Now the food i must say was one of the best i ever had,from the crab louis to RL's steaks and sides.It's a place where you could dress up and won't feel left out or lonely, everyone here is pretty much dressed up. The only negative comment i have is the wait, although we had reservations we still had to wait a while, make sure you have reservations,i won't recommend walk ins especially on the weekends.
Pros: It's a Ralph Lauren restaurant,what else do you want!!!!!!!!
Cons: Wait time really.

I have been to Topo Gigio two times and both times I had such a great experience. It is good for date night but also for big groups because I have done both. The Seafood pasta is sooo good and the calamari is a great appetizer. I highly reccomend!
Pros: Food, Wine, Service

I have tried quite a few Italian restaurants in Chicago (Dinotto, Trattoria Roma, Club Lago, Bice, Quartino's). I found out about this place after reading revieiws for Spiaggia and Coco Pazzo. The cheaper cafes of these two (Spiaggia Cafe and Coco Pazzo Cafe) offer prices comparative to Rosebut and are highly recommended, however, I have not yet been to either.
The Rosebud offers family style portions, so for two people, one dish and one or two appetizers is more than enough.
Many reviews complain about the poor service. I would say taht the service is attentive, however, our server, Vita, was not as friendly as we may have liked. But keep in mind, the servers at The Rosebud are not 20 somethings bouncing around the restaurant like eager bunnies looking to please you and checking on you every 5 minutes. The service at Rosebud was good, not exceptional, but what I will be going back for is the food.
I had the Eggplant Parm and my wife had the Rigatone a la Vodka. Both were amazoing and we had enough leftover for dinner the next day. The eggplant parm was probably the best i have ever had.
Ambiance is good: dimly lit, and nice wood panel decor. Not the most romantic place since there were plenty of large tables (great for families) with kids, but the
restaurant was quiet enough for a romanttic dinner.
Street parking is available (be sure to pay the meter and leave receipt slip on your dashboard) but most people elect to use the valet. I recommend making reservations and opt for the tables by the Taylor st windows!
Overall, I highly recommend this place!
Pros: Lots of great food (family style dining) at a good price.
Cons: parking may be hard to find.
