Best Steakhouses in Old Town

It was my first thanksgiving in Chicago with my husband. Everything was like a dream come true. The food was exquisite. That staff was incredible. Thank you for having us Smith and Wollensky. We will definitely come back!

The service was exceptional from the moment we walked in. We had a reservation, we arrived a little early and yet, they seated us immediately with no waiting time. The waitress Cecilia gave us excellent service, she explained things in detail and gave us her best recommendations. I usually eat chicken, but this time I decided to take her suggestions and honestly, I don't regret it, the food was exquisite. The areas, attention and presentation in general were excellent and more. Totally recommended.

What an incredible meal!!!!! The seafood was fresh, the steaks perfectly prepared, the wine exquisite and the desserts devine!!!!!!! The candlelight setting was the perfect ambiance even if a bit dark, but the absolute star of the dinner was the tremendous service provided by MASON! The best waiter in Chicago. (Maple & Ash this "Employee Benefits" charge coincidentally is exactly the same as the credit card fee!!!! Ask me before you add $25 to my check!!!!! When I drop almost a $1,000.00 for dinner without cocktails I don't expect a surprise on my bill!!!!! Disclosure and ASK. 30% Tip covers the wait staff, and at your prices there is money to provide the rest of the staff--including the kitchen--with "employee benefits.")

Gibsons is one of my favorite restaurants in the city! My recent visit was nothing short of exceptional. I started with an Old Fashioned, which was perfectly crafted. My wife and I shared a loaded wedge salad, a New York Strip, and a double baked potato – all of which were delicious and cooked to perfection. For dessert, we indulged in a cookie with ice cream, paired with a glass of 20-year Tawny. The evening was made even more special by the fantastic piano player, who added a wonderful ambiance to our dining experience. Highly recommend!

I came here for my husband’s birthday dinner. The food was phenomenal - we got steak, the whipped potatoes and the decadent Mac and cheese. For starters we got soup, my husband loved the clam chowder however the French onion soup I got was a bit too sweet for my liking. One thing I will say is the soup could have been hotter, it was lukewarm. Otherwise the rest of the food was perfect. Steak was cooked to perfection. The ambience was wonderful and very romantic. The service was a complete 10/10. We really enjoyed it. It is a very expensive restaurant but I do feel like you get what you pay for.
