Where To Go For Dinner When It “Doesn’t Matter” (But It Really Does) - Chicago - The Infatuation
"Au Cheval always has a long wait, and there is nothing low-key about Bavette’s. That’s why if you have someone you need to subtly impress (like an uncle you want to borrow money from), you should know about Gilt Bar. It’s owned by the same team, but it’s been around longer and is essentially a shortcut to some of the best things on both other spots’ menus. It has a great ribeye, the exact same tenderloin tartare, and even a replica of the Au Cheval cheeseburger. The dimly-lit environment is also very similar, and you can almost always just walk in and get a table. Plus the good judgment you show picking this place might convince him that you’re responsible enough to repay the loan." - adrian kane
