"This is the epitome of a classic Chicago steakhouse, and one of the most iconic restaurants around. You can expect fantastic steaks, traditional sides, and great service. But you won’t just be eating with high-rolling Gold Coasters—it’s usually full of tourists and Chicagoans celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, too. The massive desserts here are no joke—the signature carrot cake literally weighs about six pounds. So, bring a sturdy tote bag if you plan on taking a slice home." - adrian kane, nick allen
