    Asked for waterfront table and did not get. My fiancé ordered a very expensive steak and it was as charred and over cooked. Brussels spouts were mushe. My 10oz filet was amazing and so perfect!! I love this restaurant I think my fiancé steak was just a randomly one that was not cooked well. Been here before and I would still recommend. Wait staff was amazing!!! Justin was great. Location is everything in Chicago!

    Our waiter was amazing, the food was great, i thought that the Steak Tar Tar could have been ground down a little more to help with texture and there wasn’t much bone marrow in the marrow bone felt more like a decoration than a menu item. Other than that the food was excellent!

    Officially one of our favorite steakhouses. Very quiet which is amazing compared to Gibsons. Steaks were great and amazing staff. Try to get a table next to window.

    Waiter was great! Food was good. Enjoyed the crab cake appetizer. The sea bass was good but missing a bit of flavor. Crème brûlée was excellent!

    One of the highlights of our mini-vacation was enjoying the delicious food created within this restaurant. Crab cakes and smoked salmon tartare .. simply beyond amazing. It's a forever favorite, and we can't wait to come back.
