"Gene & Georgetti's is full of so many long-time River North regulars that every diner becomes a Chicagoan by osmosis (even transplants from Michigan). It truly leans into its “oldest steakhouse in the city” identity, with vintage posters, old black and white photos, and servers in bow ties zipping around the sea of white tablecloths. And while you’re eating an eggplant parm or slicing into a 21-day-aged juicy steak, don’t be surprised if Frank Sinatra’s “Chicago” starts playing in your head, or literally through the speakers." - john ringor, veda kilaru, nick allen
