    Went to Bavette's for a date night and the food was really good! Only disappointment was the length of time we were there. We ended up being there for 3.5 hours due to the wait time on our steaks. Also, I ordered a bone-in filet cooked medium+ and it was pretty well-done except close to the bone. Still very flavorful though!

    The first time I came to Bavette's we only had appetizers and side dishes--and it was amazing. I wanted to come back and get to experience one of the best steaks in Chicago. It definitely lived up to the hype and as always, the sides (specifically the wedge salad with their famous bacon and the garlic mashed potatoes) were fantastic as well. The ambiance makes you feel like you've stepped into a classic Chicago speakeasy, especially in the basement and the service was on point. Great spot to celebrate a special occasion.

    Bavettes came highly recommended. First of all, it is quite dark in the dining room. The rest rooms are old and small. The bar area has a rather nice ambiance. There is an additional dining room in the "dungeon" which provides less noise and more privacy. The food is pricey and I would suffice it to say that you do not necessarily get your money's worth. The portions are relatively small. The filet mignon and lamb chops were average. However, the crab was excellent! The service is attentive. I think there are many other superior options for steaks, chops and seafood in the area. We will not be returning to Bavettes anytime soon.
