8 Clubby Restaurants In Chicago - Chicago - The Infatuation

"What To Expect: Gino & Marty’s is a buzzy Italian spot that’s expensive, chaotic, and not very good. The dining room overflows with people waiting 40 minutes past their reservation time. And while the second floor operates as the club, expect confusing music (think: show tunes mixed with Chubby Checker hits) and plenty of sparklers to appear on the already crowded main floor. What’s Up With The Food: Prepare for an uninspired meal that takes way longer than it should, filled with overdressed salads, mealy pasta, and entrees like an overcooked $75 steak. Verdict: Come here if you want to see and be seen—and maybe participate in a raffle for a pair of Louboutins, which apparently happens here." - veda kilaru, adrian kane
