North Center Prime

If you like a good steak (and who doesn’t?) definitely check out North Center Prime. We shared the Porterhouse and had creamed spinach and asparagus sides. The Porterhouse was cooked perfectly, and was fabulous. We ordered a diver scallop and herb butter to go with the steak, and both were delicious. Cheesecake for dessert was tasty. Service was great, too. We will definitely be back 😊

The food was amazing, but the service was even better! We ordered a few appetizers and the 38oz Porterhouse and all were great. It felt like the entire staff was waiting on you.

I saw this new place open and decided to give it a shot. I was not let down. The food was amazing. I ordered lobster Mac and cheese, Duo of Lamb and Crab cake. All were amazing in their own way. I will definitely be returning. Thank you for the great hospitality! Amazing and comfortable ambiance as well.

Just a couple of weeks ago, we experienced the soft opening of the new steakhouse restaurant in town, and it was absolutely amazing! We started with bone marrow as an appetizer—so rich and flavorful—paired with lobster bisque soup… so so good!!!!!! We also had their shrimp appetizer, and perfectly cut steaks for dinner. They were full of flavor and so tasty, I already can’t wait to go back. This spot is a MUST VISIT!!!! Love the ambiance, food, presentation, and all!!

A phenomenal dining experience at North Center Prime!! From the moment my wife and walked in, it was clear North Center Prime is more than just a steakhouse. It’s where exceptional food, an inviting atmosphere, and top-tier service come together to create something truly memorable. The Food: We began with the Roasted Bone Marrow, which was rich and luxurious, paired perfectly with toasted sourdough and a bright herb salad that cut through the richness beautifully. The Shrimp DeJonghe was just as impressive, with plump shrimp in a decadent garlic-herb butter that we couldn’t get enough of. Then came the highlight of the evening: the Bone Ribeye. This 28 oz cut was a true showstopper, deeply flavorful, perfectly marbled, expertly cooked, and so tender it practically melted in our mouths. Paired with Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes finished with bone marrow butter and fresh chives, it was an absolute dream. To Finish: We ended the meal with the Basque Cheesecake, which was stunning in both presentation and taste. Lightly caramelized on top, perfectly creamy inside, and served with fresh berries that added a bright, juicy contrast. The finishing touch of whipped cream and a sprig of mint made each bite feel extra special. Ambiance & Service: The setting was elegant yet relaxed, making it perfect for a special night out. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu, guiding us through selections that made the entire experience even better. Final Impressions: North Center Prime delivered one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. Whether you’re a steak lover or simply someone who appreciates outstanding food and service, this place is a must. Come hungry, savor every bite, and prepare to leave absolutely impressed.

North Center Prime is an incredible local spot that could rival any top steakhouse downtown. We went for dinner early in their opening, before they have their liquor license, and already I'm eager to go back to try what I am sure will be an inventive drink menu. The food was elevated and delicious, and the service was impeccable and so attentive. Their caviar service was divine -- seriously, don't skip the caviar, the sourdough toast points were the perfect complement! Also the bone marrow butter mashed potatoes, and bone marrow steak accompaniments, were perfection. We'll absolutely be back, what a great addition to the neighborhood.

North Center Prime Steakhouse exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of elegance and comfort. Our server was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, making sure every detail was just right without ever feeling rushed. And the food — absolutely top-notch. The steaks were cooked to perfection, so tender and flavorful that they practically melted in my mouth. Every side dish was delicious too, especially the creamy mashed potatoes and perfectly seasoned vegetables. Don’t skip dessert either; it was the perfect end to an unforgettable meal. I can’t wait to come back!

Wow, what a beautiful meal. Steaks were cooked perfectly and so happy to have a new steakhouse in the neighborhood. As good as any downtown steakhouse. Do yourself a favor and have a meal and nice time here.

So glad to have a great steak and chophouse in the neighborhood!l. Every dish was excellent and the service was stellar. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at North Center Prime! We ordered the carpaccio, filet with crabmeat Oscar enhancement, picanha, mashed potatoes and mushrooms as sides. Everything was very good and our meat was cooked perfectly. I like a rare steak and was impressed by the sear my filet still had, but the mashed potatoes and crabmeat really stole the show. We had no complaints and the service was wonderful as well.

I tried to give this feedback privately by sending two direct messages to the restaurant, but unfortunately, I never received a response--which has been just as disappointing as the meal itself. I took my boyfriend out for an early Father's Day dinner and we were excited to try a new steakhouse in the neighborhood, especially one outside of River North. We had a 7 p.m. reservation and were seated promptly. Bread was brought quickly, but the butter was oddly textured--almost as if it had been left in a hot kitchen too long and then put back in the fridge--and there were no butter knives. We chalked it up to new-restaurant kinks. We ordered several appetizers. The escargot was warm but not hot, and the small puff pastry on top made it hard to eat. The steak tartare was overpowered by arugula and lacked basic seasoning like salt and pepper, which wasn't on the table. The Caesar salad was good, but we had asked for it to be split and instead had to request extra plates. The oysters were the highlight of the starters. We finished the apps fairly quickly, but then waited over 30 minutes for the 28oz ribeye. After my boyfriend asked, the server said the kitchen was backed up. It arrived about five minutes later--uncut and with no plates. We asked for it to be sliced in the kitchen and turned to the sides: potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Without getting into detail, they were completely inedible and we sent them back. The steak returned, sliced, and was a real disappointment. It was a poor cut, with more than half of it just fat. There were maybe three or four edible pieces total. By that point, we skipped dessert and just wanted to leave. We genuinely wanted to enjoy this meal and support a new local spot, and I had hoped to offer this feedback directly. But since my messages went unanswered, I'm sharing it here in hopes that the restaurant takes it seriously and makes improvements. We'd love to see a great steakhouse thrive in the neighborhood--this just wasn't it, at least not yet.

We stopped in for dinner for the first time last night. Awesome menu and fantastic food. And the staff were attentive and incredibly friendly. What a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! (Heads up -- the restaurant is BYOB for time being).

We had an excellent neighborhood experience dining at North center prime. The waitstaff were lovely. The room was casual while maintaining the white tablecloth vibe. The dinner started with warm bread and amazingly good butter. The strawberry goat cheese salad was delicious. Our streaks were perfectly cooked. The Brussels sprouts were delicious. The loaded baked potato was disappointing, it was served smashed-not sure why and undercooked. Lots of other options I wish we had tried. BYOB ending soon be sure to call and ask when you make your reservation. We will be back!

Fantastic steakhouse! The steaks were perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone craving a great meal!"

I had the wedge salad, filet mignon, truffle au gratin potatoes, and key lime pie. All of the food was good. The steak and mushrooms should have been hotter. The potatoes were outstanding. The key lime should have been a bit more tart. Service was good

Went in for a light dinner. Had the signature greens, escargot and salmon. The salad was very good, well balanced. The escargot was delicious and very flavorful. The salmon was incredible, perfectly cooked and a beautiful presentation. Will definitely go back.

Went here the day before July 4 and unfortunately did not have a good experience. The food was expensive and not great- a store bought Caesar salad looked better. We ordered our steak medium and it came back medium rare, when they took it back they just burnt the outside and the inside was still rare. We didn't eat it and they still charged us for it.

We were impressed with both the meal and the service. Very glad to see a new restaurant in the former Rocks space. We had the lobster bisque, wedge salad, porterhouse steak, mashed potatoes and asparagus and everything was excellent. The chocolate cake was huge and we brought some home. A great addition to the neighborhood and BYOB allowed us to bring a bottle of wine with no corking fee.

The food is classic steakhouse which I love. They have everything on the menu from oysters, soups, steak, seafood and delicious desserts! They are very new but service was good, particularly the owner, who was very attentive. The space large with tables nicely spaced out. The prices are very reasonable for a steakhouse without missing the quality. It is BYOB for now, so check it out soon if you really want to enjoy a steakhouse night but the not price. I would come back once they get their liquor license. It is nice to have something like this in the neighborhood.

This restaurant is an amazing experience from the loft-style look of the dining area to the food itself. I have been lucky enough to dine at the very best restaurants in this country and this place is second to none in every category. The wait-staff was beyond incredible. The food? Best in the city and something tells me that is only the beginning. Do yourself a favor and go!

Ordered steaks and several appetizers. All excellent. Attentive service. One thing to be aware of is the restaurant is BYOB for now.
