Chicago Rare

Amazing experience! The bread with meat butter was unforgettable. Loved the cold shrimp and refreshing burrata salad. Salmon was good (just needed a bit more seasoning), but the veggies came along were fantastic. The short ribs were the softest and best I’ve ever had—melted in my mouth 🤍. Plus, there was a live show over the weekend that made the atmosphere even better. Fast service and friendly staff. Definitely coming back inshallah! 🤍🤍

From start to finish, our experience at Chicago Rare was nothing short of exceptional. Located inside the stunning new Four Seasons at The Pearl, the ambiance alone already sets the tone elegant, warm, and perfect for a memorable night out. We came to celebrate our anniversary, and every detail from the service to the food to the live entertainment made it feel truly special. The wagyu steak was perfectly cooked: tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Every bite was worth savoring. The sides creamy mashed potatoes with bacon bits, grilled asparagus, and the selection of sauces paired beautifully with the mains. We started with crispy onion strings and warm bread, and ended with a rich, decadent cheesecake for dessert. Every course was well-paced and beautifully presented. What stood out just as much as the food was the service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, professional yet warm something you don’t always find even in top-tier restaurants. The live entertainment added a lovely touch of class and charm, enhancing the overall experience without overpowering the dining atmosphere. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate something special or simply want to treat yourself to a world-class steak night Chicago Rare at The Pearl is absolutely worth it. An easy 5-star experience.

I’ve been to CR to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The experience was spectacular. I loved the experience, the welcoming, the waiters knowledge of the menu items and the recommendations. Putting more focus on attention of waiters when needed is required. As at some point the place was full and we had to waive repeatedly to ask for the desserts menu. A little update: I dined again and found a spectacular gnocchi chicken dish with a cream and spinach sauce. It was really good and we highly recommend it.

Tried the meat plate, which could have been better for the setting. The burrata salad was decent and fresh. The live jazz was a cool touch, though a bit on the loud side if you want to have a proper conversation. Overall, good vibe and enjoyable evening, but some room for improvement on the food and service.

Lovely place with an old style charm. Went there during Jazz night and the performers are brilliant. Food was great especially the huge 400g wagyu. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a nice and juicy steak.

I visited the restaurant with high expectations. While the quality of the meat is commendable, there were a few points worth noting based on my experience: • Creamy Spinach: The flavor was quite strong and didn’t resemble the classic creamy spinach I was expecting. • Onion Rings: Nicely done – crispy and enjoyable. • Chicago Burger: Tasty, but overwhelmed by an excessive amount of pickles, which threw off the overall balance. A bit overrated in my opinion. • Wagyu Steak: Disappointing – it was extremely fatty, with about three-quarters of it being fat and only a small portion actual meat. • Service: The staff were kind and respectful, which I appreciated. Although the service was a bit slow at times, their courteous attitude made up for it.

Great ambience, delicious menu, very nice music and friendly staff. I would especially like to thank Ms. Busra, she was very attentive. The menu is quite extensive. I ate a hamburger, it was delicious. The ambience is very elegant. If you haven't been before, you must try it. You will be satisfied.

If I could give it six stars, I would. The ambiance, the food, the live entertainment AND the service were excellent! Wish we were here longer so we could go again. We got the Chi-town platter. A LOT of food… and all delicious. The short rib was tremendous. So was the filet. We loved our waiter, Abdo. I would ask for his section when you go.
