Trino Steakhouse

Amazing food, service and atmosphere. The staff is super attentive & friendly, & the salsa music set the vibes. 5 stars all around. Loved the infusion of Latino influence & attention to detail in the menu. If you like chocolate, do yourself a favor & order the chocolate cake. The chocolate and cherry pairing is to die-for!!

Trino was absolutely incredible!! All of the food was so good and unique to any other steakhouse we have been to in the city. We started with the crab tostada, shrimp and grits and octopus dish. All fantastic but the octopus was easily the best we’ve ever had, was melt in your mouth tender which we’ve never experienced. We got the prime rib and mushrooms as our entree and were blown away. This is going to be a hard reservation to get very soon!! Highly recommend!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 What a great addition to west loop! The food and cocktails were absolutely delicious, and the service was exceptional! Thank you for such a warm and welcoming experience. I appreciated the way the culture was reflected through the flavors and hospitality It left a lasting impression. I can’t wait to come back

If I could rate this 10 stars across the board, I would. This is hands down one of the best restaurants my husband and I have ever eaten at. The food was incredibly well balanced and unique. Must tries are the wagu with the cherry churri and the dried aged ribeye with the huitlacoche bordelaise. With the flakey salt, it just melts in your mouth and is a dream. You also HAVE to get the trumpet mushrooms…I will be dreaming about them for forever. They honestly tasted like steak and paired with the corn sauce…I wish I could have more right now. For apps, the lamb empanadas were toasty and homey with a great little spice to them. Fantastic. Followed by the crab tostada, was a perfect balance of acid and herbs before moving into mains. All that said…the food was just so amazing and I cannot rave about it enough. Now the service was just as amazing as our food. They were super quick, extremely friendly, knew the menu and what pairs well like the back of their hand (shoutout to Fernando), and made our 1st wedding anniversary unforgettable and so special for us (literally brought us some extras to try which were so delicious and sweet of them to do). We will definitely be back and this is a MUST TRY if you love amazing flavors and a great dining experience!

Really enjoyed everything! Danny was very knowledgeable and detailed about the menu. He explained everything very well and had us try new things special to the restaurant. We will come back and dine with him! The salt It comes with is really good. We had the dry aged ribeye and the Bavette - i think the bavette is better We didn’t get a chance to try the speakeasy downstairs because we came on a Wednesday but will come back to try!

10s 10s 10s!!!!!!! I’m a big fan of Diego so I wanted to check out this new addition to the network. Trino had some BIG shoes to fill replacing KŌMO, and they did not disappoint. Every item I consumed was rich and *bursting* with flavor. The lamb empanada might rival El Che for best I’ve tried in Chicago. $9 is steep but… oooh the way it tasted changed my brain chemistry. 30/10. The Wagyu steak sandwich was unnnnnnbelievable. Zero notes. 50/10. The mac and cheese was thick and really sat down in my tummy. I did not finish it or the sandwich and packed a decent portion for lunch the next day. The patio verde and wine were also quite good. Overall a solid happy hour and the staff are very personable. I felt like I was eating with friends. Heather and Jordan made me feel so welcome. Pay them more!!!! See yall soon. 🙂‍↕️

Delicious steakhouse, great flavors making it hard to narrow down on the shared plates. Will be back to try more. And the murals and artwork in the restaurant are on point! Sooooo beautiful!

Impeccable experience! We stopped here for happy hour and some appetizers- and ended up wishing our dinner reservation was here (we tried to change it but they were fully booked!)- when I tell you that the Wagu steak sandwich was the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life - I’m not kidding. And that’s coming from someone who has lived on 3 continents and traveled to more than 100 countries. And I’m not really a sandwich person- I ordered it bc my spouse wanted it and it was in happy hour ($20!)- we split it and it was incredible! And their cocktails are impeccable- my spouse had one of their speciality cocktails and I went with a classic- a dry vodka martini - and our bartender, Heather, asked all the right question (how dry? Just a rinse? Want it double strained or some ice crystals on top?) - this is a woman who knows how to make a cocktail. This place is the find of the century - the food, the vibe, the prices, the cocktails, and the service- absolutely amazing!

A Surprise, a Delight, and Yet--Exactly What I Expected from Chef Sandoval From the moment I walked into Trino, I knew we were in for something special. But honestly... I wasn't that surprised. I had the immense pleasure of meeting @ChefSand years ago during his Entree Sueños pop-up at Soho House, and since then, I've followed his incredible culinary evolution through Diego and now to the stunning debut of Trino. Joined by one of my favorite fellow food-lovers, @mlshuffet, we settled in for what became an unforgettable evening. We kicked things off at the bar with Abraham, who immediately set the tone with a Mezcal Espresso Martini and his fiery take on a Fire & Brimstone. Both were absolute showstoppers--balanced, inventive, and dangerously drinkable. Abraham: . Then came the food. Pro tip: order everything and share; you won't regret it. We began with the Congrejo Tostada, and I genuinely believe Chef has outdone himself. As a longtime devotee of his Tuna Tostada, I wasn't prepared to be so thoroughly blown away. The crab melted on the tongue, the tostada was light and crisp, and the flavor balance? Unmatched. I joked with the team on the way out that I may need a Tostada punch card at this point. Next up: the Caesar Salad, which deserves its own spotlight. Imagine perfectly tender anchovies, crisp romaine, fennel, and a kiss of fresh dill that danced, not dominated, on the palate. It was smart, fresh, and beautifully executed. And yes, we had the dinner rolls--because how could you not? Each bite of the warm, airy dough with that rich Tatemada and Epazote butter was pure joy. Miche and I found ourselves sneaking little bites of the butters, then saving some to pair with our steak. Speaking of steak... Julianna, our phenomenal server, guided us toward the Bavette Wagyu, paired with Chef's signature Cherry-churri sauce. Cooked to a perfect medium rare, the steak arrived beautifully sliced, with a char that made each bite a symphony of textures and flavor. Paired with the sauce, or simply with salt and that butter, every bite was a revelation. The sides? Equally impressive. The Papa del Dia, Chef's inspired take on a Potato Dauphinoise, was a buttery, thyme-laced dream with paper-thin layers that melted in your mouth. Be sure to ask about the Potato Program, you'll want to know what's on deck each night. And then... the Duck Fat Refried Beans. I honestly can't even. Just enough heat, beautifully offset by the richness of the duck fat. Deep, comforting, elevated. An absolute must-order. At this point, we were full. Full-full. But when the dessert menu arrived, we couldn't resist. And thank goodness, because the Tres Leches Tiramisu was life-altering. Light, creamy, and utterly indulgent. I may never stop thinking about it. Trino is more than just a steakhouse. It's a showcase of Chef Stephen Sandoval's immense talent, blending bold Latin flavors with fine dining precision. The space, the team, the menu--it's all firing on every cylinder. This place is a triumph. And I have no doubt it's only the beginning.

Ohh! This used to be Komo. Remember that! This is from team that's behind "Diego". I had their Mac 'n Cheese and it was fantastic. The staff and service are trinoriffic.

Food and service were excellent. We had the aged ribeye steak and it was sooo tender and flavorful
