A great place for a pint and some fish'n'chips. The menu was just expanded and the prices went up a bit but it is still worth every penny. The food is great, the staff is wonderful, and the setting is beautiful. It is usually very crowded so be ready to fight for a seat. The staff does not assi...
Excellent food served up in huge portions!! Two of us split a 1/2 plate and brought home leftovers. Order the chocolate cake for dessert. But, be prepared to wait in line for a table (approx. 1.5 hours on a Friday night). However, there is an excellent Irish pub across the street to kill the tim...
We visited this restaurant New Year's Eve, and were sure we chose the best restaurant in all of Chicago. This restaurant had a feel of colonial Vietnam the moment one entered. The service was attentive and enthusiastic. The wine selection was complete and high quality. The most fantastic thing o...
This place is fun and loud! I recommend it to anyone who is eating out with a group of fun friends. The food and sangria are great and the prices are excellent.
One of the best downtown sandwich shop for lunch or dinner.
Great food for a valued price. Perfect resuraunt for having a conversation and a fine meal. The dining has a lively ambiance. The dining room is well aranged and clean. Very clean, even the bathrooms are spotless!
Wine very good, bread basket outstanding, food overcooked and
generally tasteless. Ripchen was
dried out to the point of being
tasteless. Fried potatoes were
fried beyond eating they were so dry. As far as I was concerned it
was a bad experience which I shall
not repeat.
Very good food...excellent cheesecake!
Good food for the price!
One of the country's best steak houses. Old time Chicago. Great crowded bar with lots of hussle & bussle. You'd think Al Capone was going to walk in any minute! Don't miss the garbage salad.
The Hard Rock Cafe is a most interesting place to visit. Not only can you eat great food (especially the fries) you can also view a museum of memorablia. I reccomend this restaurant to the upbeat person who just wants to have a good time.
First time round the steak was extremely overcooked, second time it was better but vegetables remained from first time and were cold!
Service was poor - difficult to attract staff - took over 10 minutes before we could tell them about the steak. Sat in non-smoking area but had to move tables, alon...
I have been to Chicago several times and never miss going to Bistro 110 for a martini and a great meal!! The atmosphere is fun and in the summer you can sit outside on the patio and people watch. It's a fun place with great service.
Great food, great service and great views. Spendy - but worth it!
Greek Islands is one of my all time favorite resturants to eat at. The wonderful waitors bring life to your eating experience there. Its fun and the food is excellent.
This restaurant is always on the top ten in the country. It is in a rich Chicago decor. The service was impecable. A true dining experience. Nothing but the finest meats. My favorite is the prime rib. It isn't roasted here it is grilled just like the steaks. You can plan on at least $30 on the entre...
very excellant would highly reccomend!!!A+
Gino's East is definitely a taste of true Chicago deep dish pizza! The pizza is super-cheesy and delicious and you'll likely need to unbutton your jeans after you leave! The atmosphere is quite different than any other restaurant, since guests are invited to add to the graffiti on the walls (IF yo...
Brunch was delicious and affordable. Buffet offered wonderful variety of cuisine. Outstanding view of the city from the 95th floor!!!!
Biggs is a very nice old Victorian house converted into a restaurant. We have been there several time and have never been disapointed.
You can expect to spend around $125 with a bottle of wine. Our last visit 10/99 we spent $225, which was not so bad after the $333 we spent at Charlie Trotters ...
Stopped here for lunch in December while shopping
in Chicago. Had baby back ribs and chicken. Food
was excellent, service too. The ribs were
especially delicious, moist and tender, with a
wonderful BBQ sauce. Atmosphere is great and I
will definitely go here again.
