Kari's Rating 9.25/10 TLDR: -The halibut was absolutely delicious and flakey -Hats are not allowed -Very nice dining room We came in extremely late at 10 PM on a Tuesday after the Cubs game and we had called ahead and they said they were still open. We wanted to order as quickly as possible to not keep the servers waiting so we ordered the halibut, the filet mignon, the brussels sprouts, and the scallop potatoes with an iced tea and an IPA. The halibut was perfectly crispy on the outside and white and meaty on the inside, the steak was perfectly medium-rare with a nice crust. The brussels sprouts were the perfect combination of sweet and smoky as it was drizzled in a light vinaigrette that made them sweet and savory. The scallop potatoes come with a giant sheet of cheese on top broiled to perfection and the scalloped potatoes-even though they were stacked really thick we're not super heavy. I would absolutely come back, but I would like to come back wearing something a little bit nicer, the servers were very professional and didn't rush us at all even though they had started to clean up as it was nearly 11:30. read more

Was able to walk in on a Monday afternoon for lunch. Beautiful sunny day. We sat outside and the views were so nice on the river. As for the food, loved the Oreo Mint Chip Ice cream pie for dessert. The steak frites were decent. The "jumbo" shrimp cocktail was so sad. 3 pieces of average sized shrimp for $34 is kind of crazy. And the plating was so bizzare?? They would bring the food next to our table and we had to look at it and wait for our waiter to return to give it to us (you can see our pie was melting). And our waiter was dropping things and struggled so much to plate things. It would have been better just to put it on our table and let us plate ourselves. read more

This is my go-place, I've been here literally 15+ times now. But, something's been a little off lately. I just came here as a treat for my two daughters who wanted a great steak. I ordered an 8oz filet mignon ($79) and my one daughter got the steak frites ($49) and my other daughter got the skirt steak ($49). The prices all around are rising significantly every time I come... and it's less and less people. I think their prices are outpacing the demand. I still remember when the filet mignon was $42. Also... I ordered a Diet Coke. It wasn't listed on the menu but surprise... it's $6. Six... dollars. My filet mignon was a solid 9/10, amazing crust on the outside, medium rare on the inside... I love that contrast. My daughter with the skirt steak!? UNREAL. SO GOOD. I couldn't believe it, so underrated... if you like Korean BBQ, there's that type of marinade and it was perfectly cooked, melt in your mouth great. 10/10. Now, my other daughter's steak frites... not great. It was tough like leather, I have no idea what kind of cut of steak it was but it was fat and gristle everywhere. She couldn't eat most of it, it was so tough. Highly recommend avoiding this... 2/10. The service was great, as usual. The manager on duty came around and was super nice. I always love that touch. I talked to Chris Moore last time (co-owner), hilarious guy. What I'm noticing, though, is the decline in clientele. Like, it was pretty empty at 1pm on a Friday. Maybe 15-20 table along the windows (it was raining outside). I usually dress appropriately for a steakhouse, as you should - typical dress shirt, slacks, etc... but this time, we did a spur of the moment stop and I called ahead if it was okay that I had on dress shorts and a plain black shirt. The hostess was like, "Yeah, come on down." I still felt awkward... until I walked in. Almost everyone was in t-shirts, gym shoes, etc. I couldn't believe it, like it was Chili's. To me, you have to enforce at least a collar dress code, even if it's a polo. Then, these tables around us were there getting burgers, and not steak. I don't know how to say it nicely but it was again, more like a Chili's crowd (and I like Chili's sometimes!). Anyway... the thing that burned me was the stupid Diet Coke. $6 is insulting. I know, paying $79 for a steak, $6 for a drink should be no big deal but the big kick in the (you know what) is that it's not free refills!! I couldn't believe it. The waitress asked if I wanted another one... I said, sure. $12 on the bill. To me, that's deceptive. I used to be a waiter when I was younger and we would always give the courtesy heads-up if there wasn't a free refill. It's assumed. I asked her about it and she was super defensive, "Yeah, there aren't refills." How would I know? I didn't know the price of it, and I didn't know there weren't refills, as it's not anywhere on the menu that I can find. (Sorry if I'm wrong about that.) So, anyway... we still had an amazing time, my girls loved it... but I docked her tip for that. I usually tip 25% but I knocked it down to 20%. I love this place... I really do, but I see it in decline right now. They have to require a dress code. Stop allowing people in gym shorts and t-shirts at a white table cloth restaurant. When I see people being allowed in like that, it makes it look desperate for 'any' business but then the people actually buying the high-priced items are going to go elsewhere. I was sitting next to obnoxiously loud tables, no manners. Who wants to be around there for a $260 bill? I don't. Others don't either. read more

I went here for a business lunch and it was amazing, I've never been here before this - it was on a Wednesday and it was packed that's how you know the food is good!

@chicagocut.steakhouse was a bit disappointing this year. I didn't post food bc it was 0 stars. Hubs steak wasn't as flavorful and fall of the bone as before. My prime rib was awful. The worst part about my experience is that our server, Tony, continued to force what he wanted upon our table. Example: our teen said he didn't any salad he still brought out salad for him and says "just try it". Not to mention leaving our table in the middle of explaining the menu several times...literally would cut himself off and say "wait a sec" serve someone and wouldn't come back. I asked for a drink menu twice. It was ridiculous. Then my prime rib was ridiculously bloody. Idgaf how you all cook it, you can't force someone who is paying well over $100 for a piece of meat to eat it only how you all cook it. Tony didn't make it so wtf?!? Then they're servers right next to us and they're busy yapping to each other I had to yell. To make up they gave us free fries?!? That wasn't the issue! There wasn't many blacks there besides Lori Lighfoot soo it gave microagression of what are you doing here from him and the staff. Last time ever dining. $600 could've been spent elsewhere for sure and will be . read more

I really enjoyed this place. It's ambient, though louder than I expected. Still works as a date night spot. The service was great, our waiter made recommendations and checked in frequently to make sure all was well. Everything was really good-- lobster Mac, broccolini, steak, shrimp... the Beef Wellington was wow! So flavorful! The dessert left us stuffed. Frankly, the chocolate cake is too much, hahaha, but, I had my crème brûlée so all was right with my world! read more

Was in town for a work meeting and this was the place that was chosen for our big group meal. Half of our group walked to the restaurant due to the traffic while the others took an uber. Guess what? We made it all at the same time. LOL. I ordered the Dijon Herb-crusted rack of lamb and I had tuna tartare. I'll be honest I wasn't a fan of the breading on the chops but the flavor was decent. We ended up sitting outside on the river getting nice views as the sunset over the water. I did end up walking back to the hotel to not be stuck in traffic and walked down the big meal that I had just ate. The bathroom is in a weird corner in the back of the restaurant. Mind the steps as they can get tricky if you're not paying attention. read more

We had dinner at Chicago Cut Steakhouse, I ordered the bone-in ribeye cooked medium rare, and it came out perfectly--juicy, flavorful, and exactly what you'd want if you're a ribeye fan. If that's your go-to cut, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. Jen had the filet mignon, also cooked medium rare, and it was incredibly tender and delicious. For sides, we shared the creamy mashed potatoes and corn. Both were excellent, and the portions are generous enough to share, which worked out perfectly for us. We each ordered an espresso martini, which was a nice touch--shaken and poured tableside, and very well done. For dessert, we tried the molten lava chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. The flavor was good, but the center wasn't quite "lava" as expected--it was more cakey than molten. Still enjoyable, just not exactly what we anticipated. Service-wise, there were plenty of staff around, but after being seated, it did take about 10 minutes before we were brought a drink menu, which stood out a bit. read more

Chicago Cut Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

First off the location is perfect. Right on the river. Great views and lots of seating. The service was on point. Very friendly and knowledgeable waitstaff. The food on the other hand wasn't my all time favorite. I started with the burrata and heirloom. The burrata was melted when served with no flavor. I also got the bone in filet. It was good not great. It was a large amount of bone. There were like 4 slices of filet that were good. The truffle scalloped potatoes came out over cooked. My opinion I think the pancetta was a bit much when mixed with truffle. The broccolini was pretty good. The dessert and cocktails were my favorites. The mint chocolate chip ice cream pie and the peanut butter pie were absolutely amazing. read more

Chicago Cut Steakhouse - steak, mac n cheese - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Sat inside, closest to the river and fun outdoor seating. Watched a waiter getting dressed in the corner. Shirt, tie, jacket. He ended up being our waiter and he was great, but a tacky first impression. The environment is extremely loud and hectic. They basically bring bulk food to your table and literally four people surround the tray and plate your food. It is chaotic and sloppy plating. Pretty bizarre. We ordered an Old Fashioned and had two glasses of wine. All great. Ordered Chilean Sea Bass. Excellent. West coast and east coast oysters. Excellent. I ordered a Bone in Filet, medium rare for $104. Farthest from the bone was closer to medium well. By the time I got to the bone, it was so rare that it was still purple. The sear hid the poor cook on the steak. Baked potato, large, but just fine. That order cost us around $325 before tip. There were two tables inside with people actually screaming for most of the dinner. Staff did nothing but look at them. Our $325 was probably about mid range for two people. For that price, the tasteless environment was unacceptable. I think if you get outdoor riverside seating and order as cheaply as possible, you will be fine, but if you are looking for a nice, classy, date night and are okay with spending $400-$500, this place is not it. We had a busy weekend with a lot of reservations. This place was the only place that did not send me a message asking for feedback. Well, now you have it. The staff overall is absolutely attentive, but the results out of the kitchen are, meh, and their acceptance of screaming is pretty horrible. read more

Everything about this experience was awesome. Great view of the river for lunch. The Presidente de Oro was absolutely perfect. The burger prepared just as I liked. The garlic truffle fries were delicious, albeit a little mushy. Could have used a little more crisp to the fries, but they tasted great. The bignets were also delicious and the jam served with them was absolutely devine. Great service, attentive and friendly. read more

Chicago Cut Steakhouse - Octopus Salad (unbelievable) - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Location is the only reason this place seems to thrive... 3rd time and I still am underwhelmed. Staff makes you feel like you are keeping them from getting home...food comes out quickly but the steaks are dry and flavorless and at this price point shouldn't a manager at least do a "drive by" to verify satisfaction? There are far better options in this amazing city...don't let location draw you into this basic establishment. read more

What an awesome place with great views of the city and river. My favorite steakhouse in Chicago by far! The service is top notch and the food melts in your mouth. The food was so good it was gone before I could take photos. We shared a Cesar salad and French onion soup then had a Filet and Lobster tail. If you're in a group, I would recommend sharing the sides. We were celebrating our anniversary and they were kind and brought out a crazy chocolate cake. Way too big for 2 people, but it was delicious. read more

Expected a great experience from an upscale expensive restaurant. Most of the food was good. However 2 of our 6 were disappointed. Got a $16 bake potato that was under cooked and cold Wife tends to do vegetarian. She chose their chicken entry knowing it was a steak house. Chicken was simply overcooked and she could not eat it. They comped the meal and gave us free desert but we did not come here expecting free food. We wanted an impressive meal at $100 plus a head. Would not come back. read more

I had hoped to return here much sooner after our last visit. But it took six years for that to happen. And the food, ambiance, and service were just as good and impressive as last time. Again at our request we were seated on the patio that overlooked the Chicago River. The "L" kept clacking along slightly above us, and tour boats glided by below. Again, the sound of emergency vehicles' sirens became a common backdrop to our meal. This time a heat lamp was nearby to take away some of the late-October chill. We began our first dinner in Chicago on this cross-country trip with two hot Jumbo Stone Crab Claws with Drawn Butter at $45.00 a claw. Next for me was a crock of French Onion Soup that was just overflowing with cheese, and a Wedge Salad that consisted of two upright wedges filled with tomato slices, Bacon Lardons, Maytag Bleu Cheese Crumbles, and Bleu Cheese Dressing. For entrees, Diane selected Chilean Sea Bass with Miso Glaze and crispy Hash Browns, while I opted for an 8 oz. medium rare Filte Mignon with two Tristan Lobster Tails, Drawn Butter, and Shitake and Crimini Mushrooms , plus a Baked Potato with fxings. My Filet was medium rare s ordered, everything was delicious, and the lobster was sweet. Diane topped off the evening by ordering and savoring a large slice of moist Carrot Cake. Service by Parker and his assistants was impeccable, and the ambiance superb. The final tab, including tip, with no alcohol, was over $400.00, even after the manager on duty gave Diane a generous military discount. This meal for two at Chicago Cut cost more than the dinner for ten that we hosted at Chesapeake Seafood in Springfield, Illinois two days before. But we both believed the experience was worth the high tariff. read more

Location and staff were great. Really busy on a weeknight, which is usually a good sign. No issues there. Food was very mixed, sad to say. The Crab Cake was the best part of the meal - one of the best I've had (yes, I've had crab cakes in the Chesapeake Bay region). Large, very little filler, moist, tender, full of delicate crab flavor, crisp coating. Just great. The mixed greens on the side were a nice touch, a mini-salad you could say. This could almost be a light meal on its own. The Demonico, ordered medium rare was underdone. Actually a bit cold on part of it. It looked the same as another diner's rare steak, so maybe they erred on my order? I didn't send it back (it would have been awkward in the company I was with) and just ate around the edges. Possibly sat around before being served because the fat lacked that melt-in-your-mouth quality that i expect of proper steaks. And not as flavorful as most ribeyes or even NY steaks I've had at even midlevel restaurants, though I know they are of lesser quality. Disappointing considering the specialty. Side of grilled asparagus was just OK. Large spears, stems had the skins peeled, a nicetouch. They were properly cooked, a bit a dente, which is how I like them. Just didn't have any flavor. I grill lots of veggies at home including asparagus, and always toss with olive oil and garlic and seasonings. So maybe it's a style thing. Side of whipped potatoes was bland. I don't recommend them. No texture, no taste. Didn't taste like fresh potatoes and didn't have sufficient fat content (no butter and/or sour cream flavor). Just starchy. Can't really explain it. Not a hard dish to make. I was really looking forward to dining here. Other than the crab cake, can't really vouch for the rest of my order. Haven't written a review in years. Thought it was memorable enough to share the data with others. read more

Mother's Day brunch was a disappointment. I'm definitely bummed after that. I've had better food at several resort buffets in Mexico. No steak and eggs options and the only meat option was a prime rib that was comically too rare (even for prime rib), cold, and flavorless even with generous au jus. The shrimp were frozen and the scrambled eggs were like what they serve in the dorms in college. The bacon and the french toast were good but it's not hard to do those right at home either. read more

Chicago Cut Steakhouse - Prime rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

So I have learned this is a place that you go to "be seen" or say "I've gone there". When you are taking an order you should give your entire attention to your guest in a place like this. Not stopping every minute to talk to your assistant. Shocker when the steak comes out they were missing an item. First time flagging the manager and explained and got it quick. Ok so far I can deal with it. Showing on your menu that 1L of wine is $45 you do the math and decide to get it. They first say, "not sure if we have anymore". No problem. If not I have another option. To my surprise they came back with a glass of it. Fine no biggie, just figured they would refill that way. Ok. Lobster Mac n cheese, came out like cold. Not warm, cold. Flagged down manager second time, let her know and she replaced it. For the record, they were absolutely amazing when it came out the second time hot. Got dessert, which so may options, amazing. However the other table next to us was getting their plates cleared. Literally 2 feet from my face while I'm trying to eat my dessert. For a place like this and the amount you pay. Honestly unacceptable. Now the bill comes. Well, they explain the wine is $45 a GLASS not a liter. Told them we wouldn't have gotten that. Manger agreed and sad I know I have told the regional manager this many times. Ok then Fix it regional manger. She did remove both glasses which is nice but wait, was charged for 2 Mac n cheese. So had to remove the second one. In the end, we will not be back. We live here we aren't tourist as we were asked when we first sat down. Which not sure why that's matters. Do yourself a favor. Don't waste your money here. There are a ton of steak houses in Chicago this is literally to, as I've stated, "be seen". read more

The service was superb, our server victor was amazing 10/10 , everything we ordered he split up for us, to make it easier to consume. For example , split the Cesar salad , split the whipped potato's and the Brussel sprouts. He even removed lobster meat for us! The food was really good but I have had better steak and lobster (hence why I gave 4 stars) the atmosphere was beautiful especially with a beautiful river view. On a nice day a nice walk is great because of the neighborhood. Over great views great service but the food just wasn't worth the value. But really good spot read more

Love the steak Fritz here! It's been a while since we were here, so it was time for a visit. We had the most perfect romantic anniversary dinner here.. Both our Delmonico steaks were cooked perfectly. We opted for the Brussels sprouts this time as they were prepared with ham lardons & maple syrup. It was delicious. Well balanced & perfectly executed. Superb. And the most beautifully presented. The whole dinner was simplistic perfection. We also both LOVE that the tomato with mozzarella comes on the side here. Traditional steakhouse fabulousness. As a matter of fact, McGuires Irish Pub in our hometown of Pensacola, Florida serves the tomato topped with Mozzarella the very same way. OuiOui.

I've come to Chicago Cut many times and will keep coming back. LOVE the Cajun ribeye and get it every time. Other favorites are the truffle potatoes, Brussels sprouts, kale & quinoa salad. My only critique is around atmosphere. The seating can feel a little crowded inside, with tables fairly close together (Note the volume is still low enough for conversation). And the decor has a traditional steakhouse look, which to some will feel classic & traditional.. but to others can feel dated. However, the outdoor seating is more modern and beautiful along the river. read more

Amazing location in downtown Chicago. Beautiful scenery and setting. Scott our server/ host / comedian was amazing. Appetizers were delicious and truly enjoyed the crab cakes to start.

We opted to sit outside because the weather was nice. However, all the small tables were by the restaurant side and the big tables were by the river side. So we didn't get to sit by the river. You can see the Chicago skyline and the train going through the bridge once in a while. We ordered the French onion soup and brussel sprouts to share. For entrees we got the center barrel cut filet mignon and dry aged marinated Cajun rib eye. French onion soup was delicious! It has some flavors from the steak and the cheese on top was perfect. Brussel sprouts has bacon lardons and maple syrup but it tasted more on the sweet side. I enjoyed it but James was not a big fan. On the steak part, I like how the steaks were cooked medium rare throughout (even the edge). The flavor was good on both of the steaks. You can taste the Cajun on the dry aged marinated rib eye. I don't know if my palate favored salty food at that moment but I needed to add some salt to the steaks. Service was excellent. I forgot his name but he was training a new server. He was attentive. We put down a note that we were celebrating our anniversary and he gave us compliment dessert. We picked the Oreo mint ice cream pie and it was good too. read more
