    The Chicago Chop House hits the mark on quality, professional service and atmosphere! At last I've found a steakhouse that is worth the visit! I've been very disappointed lately with steakhouses that claim to be the best: Ruth Chris, Sullivan and even Mastro! Service: From the very beginning of our visit, service was strong. As we entered the door we were greeted well by the host who seemed highly invested in the restaurant. He even said my last name properly when he greeted us. He was very accommodating on seating to meet our needs. The bartender Nikola ( sorry about spelling), was excellent in attending to us immediately when we sat down. He listened well on what we needed in our drinks and level of sweetness. The drinks were perfect, thank you! The next shutout goes to Edwin who was working very hard on the floor: he made us a fabulous chop salad, brought out food and just filled in! He was definitely the star of the show! Great work ethic! And lastly I would like to recognize Roxana (sp?) who also worked extremely hard in making sure we had the proper silverware and our table was always kept clean and tidy. She did not miss a beat! Great service means the world when you are on the town for some dinner! Many thanks to this great team!!!!! Food: as for food, it was just as good as service! As mentioned, I've been disappointed with food quality and size! First all of our portions were big! The chop salad could have fed 4 people if you just wanted a small salad. And the salad was excellent! It was a lot more than just lettuce. Great blue cheese! And the loaded potato was just as good: the potato must of been over a pound plus all the fixings. The bacon that they serve with the potato and as an appetizer is out of this world! Lastly our steak was perfect: good thickness. Steak was cooked properly the first time, as it should be. To cap off our meal, we ordered cannoli: the desert is big enough for at least three people. The dessert comes with three cannolis. The only thing that was small was the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail consisted of four jumbo shrimps. Despite the amount, the shrimp were great! Thanks for a fabulous meal!

    A steakhouse experience that absolutely delivers from the very first bite Lobster escargot, filet mignon, crispy golden onion rings... and somehow it still gets better. The lobster escargot was rich, buttery, and bubbling with flavor--one of those dishes you slow down for because it's that good. The filet mignon? perfectly cooked, melt-in-your-mouth tender with that beautiful center that speaks for itself. And the onion rings... crunchy, seasoned to perfection, and completely addictive (no sharing here). Paired it all with refreshing mocktails and cocktails that were light, citrusy, and the perfect balance to all the richness. Then came the whipped potatoes--smooth, creamy, and comforting in the best way--and the house bread with that soft, warm center and golden crust that you have to tear into immediately. Every plate, every sip, every detail... truly incredible. One of those meals you'll be thinking about long after it's over And I honestly need to talk about the service, they had staff that was so ready and on it, ready to serve and take orders, came around tables to make sure that we were being helped, even the owner stopped by! It was such an amazing experience and the ambiance inside is your old school steak house, super cool inside and beautiful!!!

    After a long day of walking and site seeing. We were super hungry. We made reservations the morning of. We came a little early, and were sat down. The service was amazing, our waitress was so knowledgeable of the menu and drinks. I had two of the blueberry lemonades and my cousin had two as well. They were so good!! I know chop house is know for their steaks, BUT that chicken with the potatoes! OMG!!!! We had the whole upstairs to ourselves wish was so nice.

    We went out to celebrate new beginnings and they gave a special version of the menu that says congratulations as well as the delicious creme brulee. Our server, Grace, was very friendly and knowledgeable and all of the staff encountered were friendly and kind. She made wonderful recommendations like the lobster bisque instead of the French onion or the steak butter with herbs versus the garlic one. These were fantastic suggestions and were delicious. This was my second time here. Enjoyed the crab cakes and meatballs over the calamari. The brocolini was crisp and flavorful. The mains were both quite filling and satisfying. Took some carrot cake to go. Also tried both the mocktail and cocktail version of this berry drink and it was refreshing. Really looking forward to the next visit.

    My uncle brought me here 30ish years ago when we were in town for a meeting. What I remembered was an old school steakhouse setting with superb service, excellent steaks and great drinks. Fast forward thirty years and I'm in town and a colleague asked if I'd ever been here. So I told her about my experience and she immediately said let's go! So a group of us went in and it's just as I remembered. Amazing service, spectacular steaks and a bar tender that understands how to make a manhattan. The portions were large, my steak was so tender that I didn't really need a knife. Another amazing experience. I will not wait another 30 years to come back!

    Birthday menu
    Nasia H.

    We had a reservation for this restaurant on Friday (my birthday) night before Mother's Day and received outstanding service from Fanny! We did have trouble on the way there as we were running a little behind and made multiple attempt to contact the restaurant ahead of time to let them know, my Fiancè was just placed on hold several times or hung up on. However I called and was able to speak to Debbie who immediately helped and passed the message on. The restaurant itself was amazing, we loved the classic music and the service we received from Fanny, she was kind and explained the menu and made my birthday dinner very special with a crème brûlée for dessert! We really do appreciate her service and the historic dinner at this restaurant. Recommend for any special occasions!

    Went to Chicago chop house for my boyfriend's birthday and it did not disappoint! Service was amazing, where our server offered delicious recommendations and even a personalized menu, which she rolled up and gave to us at the end of our meal. She also gave us a crème brûlée to celebrate the birthday which was Ordered roasted tomato burrata for appetizer, Delmonico steak, truffle Mac n cheese, and creamed spinach. Steak was flavorful and cooked to perfection, and our other favorite was the tomato burrata. Took the rest to go and used it as a pasta sauce the next day! Would recommend for any special occasion.

    Teddy D.

    I really enjoyed this restaurant, our waiter was great very knowledgeable and funny too. The food was very good the Colorado rack of lamb with the mint jelly was superb. Any restaurant with sweet potatoes on the menu is good in my book and this place has a good variation of it. I would recommend it.

    The ambience is very romantic. The second floor feels a liitle more open than the first floor. The patio might be interesting during the summer. Service is excellent. We never had to ask for more water or to replace a utensil. The bread was crusty and warm. My companions enjoyed both martinis that they ordered. Our eyes are bigger than our stomachs. The wait staff did not blink when we shared the appetizers and entrees. We tried the Waldorf Salad which was light and balanced. Everyone liked the steak tartar. The lobster special was 16oz, but the flavor was mild and a little overcooked. The dry aged rib-eye was hard to cook evenly. All the sides including the Mac and Cheese are big portions for sharing. The Godiva Lava cake and crème brulee were delicious. We saw the Carrot cake and the Alaska came out for another table and they were huge. We need to bring more people next time so we can try it.

    The beginning of a great meal.
    Brian M.

    Absolutely amazing. Was recommended to us by a friend. The staff Elena was our waitress and was delightful and pretty. Great smile and attitude. Very helpful. The food is so good. We loved every bite. The decor is rich with history and a walk to the bathroom is like a walk back in time. Multiple levels and great vibes. Go here

    Birthday brulee

    The food and service was 10/10! Very nice for date night or dinner with friends. The restaurant's soft music and candlelight gave it a romantic ambience.

    And I will always go back there to eat. It doesn't matter how much it cost. You're there to fill your stomach and be happy.?

    Definitely a great place to fill your belly!

    From the $$$$ look...what is their typical bill at the end...at least a rough total? Also...has anyone ever use their Groupon deal?

    When we were there it was $707 for 3 people with drinks and they add a service charge of 18% which is not the tip. Tax was about $80 and service charge was $80. We did not leave a tip because we thought the service charge was the tip included.… Read more

    Do they serve dinner as early as 12pm ( afternoon )?

    No they do not. Hours are 4:30 - 10:30 pm I believe and that is when the dinner menu starts. Sunday brunch is a completely different menu, but is very good.

    Is there a wine corkage fee?

    I did not bring my own wine but I’m sure there is a corkage fee. You can call and ask.

    Do you need a jacket?

    No, a jacket is not needed. Thank you!

    Do you need reservations?

    Yes, this place is very exclusive.

    Is this place owned by Gordan Ramsay?

    No. You can find a list of his restaurants here https://www.gordonramsayrestaurants.com/restaurants-and-bars/

They passed the appetizers, but once they passed them around a few times they put them on the bar which became one big grazing station. The drinks were great as well and they even did a signature cocktail in honor of my friend, which was quite strong (hello tequila). The bartender and other staff were super friendly and knew many of us by name after a few hours. It was the perfect cozy spot for this amount of people and I'd love to look into using it again for a similar type of party...or just stopping in for a cocktail!

We ordered a flight of whiskey sours, which contained whiskeys from Japan, Vietnam, and Wisconsin. I also was able to order an amaretto sour, which they made with freshly hand beaten egg whites, which was a nice cherry on the top. As far as the whiskey flights go, I think the best one was the Vietnam flight because it had a slightly lemongrass twang and was a little bit lighter than the other two. The heaviest one was the Wisconsin which came with a little bit of a bite at the end, but it still wasn't bad if you're trying to blackout on a $15 budget. I would definitely come back with a larger group this seems like a great place, but is a little bit loud- so if you be prepared to yell or wear earplugs. The bathroom took my a second to find, which should have been intuitive considering it was on the opposite end of where you come in. I blame the lighting as things are already pretty hard to find in the dark, but eventually I made it there-Pat myself on the back.

We had visited Florence last year, and one of the numerous wonderful moments of our trip to Italy was seeing "Il Porcellino" - the lucky bronze boar fountain that draws tourists from around the world. A copy of the boar stands proudly near the entrance of the restaurant, and though it is not as old as the original 1634 sculpture, it was a charming reminder of our amazing Italian holiday. Did I mention that the weekday Happy Hour (4-6PM) specials are quite good? The specials are served only at the bar area, so you might have to wait a few minutes for available seating. We started with some drinks, including two kinds of Negroni. The wild mushroom arancini (5 little balls for $6) were the smallest I've tried, but they were creamy and melt-in-your mouth delicious. The whipped ricotta and jam beautifully served on a strip of toasty focaccia was a unique taste sensation. Prime beef meatballs and short rib sliders on toasted ciabatta bread also hit the spot. Even though we were merely dining at the bar, we enjoyed the overall vibe of the restaurant. There are lots of photos on the walls, interesting lighting from the ceiling, nice serving dishes, and servers who seem to know who their regular diners are.

It's one of those places that you find yourself talking about long after the meal is over. The garlic bread alone is worth the visit. They pour what feels like a gallon of garlic butter over it, and somehow it's still never enough. It's rich, indulgent, and absolutely delicious. We order it every single time and would probably be disappointed if we didn't. The real star of the show, though, is the lasagna. Between the two of us, we've had lasagna at countless restaurants, and nothing has come close to this one. It's hands down the best lasagna we've ever had. Perfect layers, incredible flavor, and the kind of comfort food that makes you want to savor every bite. Their Grey Goose espresso martini is also unmatched. We've tried espresso martinis all over Chicago, and this one is still our favorite. It's smooth, perfectly balanced, and the ideal way to start or end the meal. The atmosphere is another reason we love coming here. The restaurant is gorgeous inside, with a dark, moody vibe that makes it feel special without being stuffy. It's the perfect date night spot whether you're celebrating something or just looking for a great night out together. If you're visiting Chicago and love Italian food, Il Porcellino is a must. Great food, amazing drinks, beautiful ambiance, and a meal you'll be thinking about long after you've left. We make a point to visit every time we're in town, and it never disappoints.
