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, along...
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 t...
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.
We don't visit Chicago without an evening in Gibson's. Have waited an hour for a table with a reservation and still no complaints! Outstanding lobster and steak combo.
Whenever we come to Chicago we would not have a complete vacation without eating at Bertucci's, we love it!!!!! We are returning in Feb. and will be eating there then.
Great Italian Restaurant right in the Hear of Italy, which the block the restaurant is on is newly renovated to give it a real Italian ethnic appeal. Good portions of food. The veal is excellent. If you like you pasta a little spicey, try the Penne Arrabiata.
My co-worker and I were in Chicago on business and went to eat on a friends suggestion. Was so pleasantly surprised. Everything was fun, good, and service was great! Cheesecake was amazing and delicious! Would go back on any business trip!
Soul Kitchen was a lively location with a very active and crowded bar area. Lots of young, upscale trendy singles and couples that try very hard to make this eatery as cool and understated as any you'd find in Manhattan or LA. The operative word is "try". Service was inattentive at best. And alt...
Great old fashioned restaurant - if you want something out of an old Chicago setting movie, this is it. Usually a wait, but sidle up to the bar and people watch and the wait is worth it. The servings are plentiful, with great steaks. I haven't tried the pastas, but they also seem to be huge portio...
I really like their crispy chicken sandwich with lettuce and tomato only. I hate their hamburgers, and their fries are soggy. I like the curly fries.
The food is always good, I love the fresh roasted garlic served with butter served to go with the bread. The place is always packed- the crowds are great for families who worry that their kids will be too loud. The Cosmopolitan martini's are among the best I've had.
Good prices with huge portions. Very young and beautiful crowd. Excellent weekend all-u-can-eat brunch.
