Chicago Chop House is a great Chicago steak house. The restaurant has a nice decor that's appealing to the eyes. I like the tin ceilings. The
bar is easily found and they have a pretty good selection.
The steaks are delicious and the size of your head! Their potato pancakes are yummy and fresh!
It's very cheap here and I think they are underpriced for the delicious food and quantity you can get here. The service is fast, and the staff is friendly. $20 can get you some good food.

I went with a group of four to celebrate a special occasion. Our service was absolutely flawless. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the mashed potatoes were great. I have heard that this place was full of tourists and not to go there. I disagree. The food was reasonably priced. The atmosphere was crowded but enjoyable. I would recommend this to all local Chicagoans.It is great!

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

My boyfriend and I ate here over the holiday weekend and even though the prices were a little high, the food was amazing!! The waiter we had doted on us all night long and even though it was pretty crowded we didn't feel like we got lost in the crowd, as you do with some other restaurants.
This is a great place to go eat when you want to splurge on a meal but it is expensive for 2 when you have drinks and a full meal.
It is a MUST to try while in Chicago.
Cons: price

Let me start with the best part: I ordered the filet medallions oscar and I COULD CUT IT WITH A BUTTER KNIFE! I have had meat that tender only one other time in my life. This was one of the best steaks I've ever had. Okay... now from the beginning...
We made reservations with 3 hours noticed and were seated at the time of our reservations. There wasn't much space to sit or gather but the host staff was very friendly and did offer the bar area for seating early. Our table was around the border of the dining room, which is square in shape with a raised border section over the lowered middle. We had a nice view of the bar and our table was perfect for 'people-watching'.
We each ordered flights of wine. I had the progressive and my fiance had the whites. The amount of wine in each glass was very generous - about a half a glass - and much more than the "shot" of wine that I have had in flights in the past. One of us had the barbecue chicken dish and the other had the filet medallions oscar. The medallions were SO tender and the portions were perfect. The filet was ordered rare, and a truly good rare seems to be hard to come by. Wildfire got it right. Other restaurants give you meat slightly well done and others seem to hand you something that isn't even warmed and somehow still frozen. This was a truly enjoyable cut and cooked filet.
The service was prompt. Nothing spectacular, nothing terrible. Just good, courteous service staff.
For me personally, I will go back again for one of the best steaks I've ever had.
Pros: location, price (relative), generous flights of wine, ambience, try the filet
Cons: few seats in the greeting area

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

Tango Sur is a great restaurant that really gives you a great value along with a wonderful dining experience. The steak there is amazing with all that flavor. Their mashed potatoes are amazing and they have a great selection of appetizers. I loved the BYOB aspect making the restaurant seem more intimate and homey. The no corkage fee is a bonus.
I went on a Monday evening at 9pm and the place was packed. There were even people waiting by the door for a free table. My friends and I loved the place so much we created a site for the place (we found out that Tango Sur has no website). Google search: tangosur.typepad
along with a little video spoof of the place on You Tube: Senor Sur - Tango Sur
Pros: BYOB, No corkage fee, great value, great food
Cons: No reservations for parties under 6, street parking can be hard

Would highly recommend Keefer's for a party.
Was planning my mom's 75th birthday and stumbled across this restaurant on the web. Photos looked nice, etc. -- that's all I knew of the place. Our whole group was blown away by the food -- large portions, cooked exactly how each of us wanted. They had us in a private room with its own entrance (Keefer's Kafe), which was quaint and comfortable. Servers were personable and attentive.
Prices were excellent and they have the lowest "minimum" for a party of any of the restaurants I contacted. Downside -- they charge a $100 server fee and had a mandatory 20% tip. This put the cost of service at 28% of the total tab. The service was great but 28% is quite high.
Pros: Great Food, Awesome Environment, Excellent Service
Cons: 20% Tip Required on top of $100 Server Charge

My Friend and I went to Ruth's Chris by accident. We were just out walking and having a good time and he said "I smell meat! I'm hungry follow me" So off we go in seach of the wonderful smells. We found ourselves in the doors of an amazing place. We were ushered right in to the bar to await our table. We waited no more than 15 minutes. We had the lamb chops and prime rib. This was the most memorable meal for both of us. We both recommend Ruth's Chris to anyone who wants to experience a true dining experience. ENJOY!
Pros: Wonderful Staff, Knowledgeable and Polite
Cons: None
