I was in Chicago last week and was sent to the Chicago chophouse based on a recommoendation from the concierge at my hotel. What a treat! I had a bone-in strip that added 2 inches to my waistline after I was through. Hands down it was the best steak I've ever eaten! The server was very knowledgable and attentive and I never once had to ask for anything. The restaurant was filled with great pictures of Chicago and people who have made their mark on the city. I could have spent hours just looking at all of the stuff on the walls. This place is a must do for anyone who loves steak!
Pros: Food/ Piano Bar/ Service

The IV not only rates highest in accomodations and style, but the attractive menu and the food behind it is some of the best you will ever have in your life. The sommelier and chefs are connected with their customers and the staff couldn't be nicer. The Capatiniini's make you feel like family- it is a 5 star classy and exquisite restaurant but not pretentios, it is loving and sensational, my only regret is I don't live above the restaurant because I would be there every night!
Viva Italian Village!

Pros: Top Chefs. Service, Food, WIne

My girlfriends and I save Geja's for special occasions because the fondue is divine. Get the cheese and chocolate combination -- it's $20 for a heavenly meal that will leave you full AND euphoric. Great atmosphere, too. Parking is a problem -- you'll want to go with valet, or be prepared to walk a lot.

During lunch hour in an Irish-named bar, a young bartender recommend a few steak houses to us, including a celebrity-named one. Fortunately for us, a couple of elderly men interrupted our talk. In a gravelly voice, one said, "If you want a good steak, go to Kinzie's." His friend agreed. (We went in early evening.)Truer words were never spoken. My aged ribeye was one of the best 3 steaks I have ever had. The expert waiter made this meal a princely experience, helping me to pair up a good California zinfandel with the steak. Salad, bread, entree, and wine all arrived in a timely manner. This was over 2 years ago, and I still have a vivid memory of it. I can't wait to visit Kinzie's again for a great steak.
Pros: Steaks, wine, service
Cons: sometimes busy

I was wowed after dinner at N9ne with co-workers! We had dinner this past Monday night and were pleasantly surprised to learn that it was half-price bottle of wine night, that was a bonus! We ordered appetizers which came out almost immediately! The calamari and rock shrimp are delicious! Although we were at a steakhouse, for some reason everyone at the table had seafood. Presentation on the plate, as well as the taste of these dishes were perfect. N9ne offers a very unique dessert menu with items ranging from cotton candy to smores. This is my new favorite restaurant in the city and I can't wait to go back!
Pros: Atmosphere, Food, Waitstaff
Cons: Kind of hard to find if you haven't been there before

This upscale restaurant has great food, drinks, and eye candy. The canopies on the river in the summer can't be beat, and the crowd is always dressed to kill. If you want to get dressed up and have a chic night out, this is the place to start!
