    No surprises here, still phenomenal! Mike was our server and was exceptional. Running for favorite Espresso Martini. I think this place might have stolen the top spot, just delicious. We ordered the off the menu seafood dinner with shrimp, scallops and an absolutely killer lobster risotto. Such a great restaurant and it always exceeds my expectations.

    Flourless Chocolate Cake

    We made dinner reservations here for Thanksgiving Day. We waited at the bar area for about 10 minutes while we wait for our table to be ready. Once we were seated, our server and the rest of the staff were pleasant and efficient. The a la carte menu is still available to customers but we chose to have the Thanksgiving dinner package. This includes: BUTTERNUT OR MINESTRONE soup, SALAD, a platter of TURKEY BREAST, MASHED POTATO, SWEET POTATO YAM, STUFFING, VEGETABLES, and CRANBERRY SAUCE. There are 3 choices for dessert, we picked PECAN PIE and FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE. Everything was delicious and even though the place was super busy that evening, all the dishes were served warm and there was no long wait. Our cocktails were also prepared well. The place is clean, the service is great, and the food is satisfying. Parking can be challenging on a busy night but they also have valet available. I will come back to try the dishes from their regular menu, I'm sure they're also good. This is a great choice to have a holiday meal, without spending many hours in the kitchen :) 'Til next time!

    Bread appetizer with marinated olives
    Lisa S.

    Went for dinner and the service was great. We shared the bread starter which you have to order as an appetizer off the menu. That usually rubs me the wrong way, but the bread was amazing and served with a small side of marinated olives. I had the fish & chips - it came with 5 filets! The waffle fries were good but the fish was even better & you could tell they definitely weren't frozen. For dessert, the buuyer pecan ice cream which was served with a Carmel sauce drizzle and extra pecans. Wow! Molto bello!!

    Went recently and the service and food were back to expectations. The ribeye was amazing and my family loved the seafood tower. My son got some sort of lobster risotto and he said it was amazing. The only issue is it seems when I go my first steak comes out medium vs medium rare. But they fired up a second one and it was great.

    We love visiting Ditka's for family meals during the big holidays, including Thanksgiving and birthdays! We are a steak family through and through and we are never disappointed. We typically order sides for the table to share and it works out well. We do 3-4 sides for six people! It's a large space but it can get a little noisy. As it is Ditka's, the decor is sport themed, but I work in sport business and my siblings are all athletes so we love it as a family! It's a little dark so you may need to bust out the iPhone light. I will say that it is a little pricier for the value and portion sizes. Parking is also a little confusing but doable.

    Great atmosphere. Service was superb. Both waiters made sure we were well taken care of. Had the twin filet and crab cake. Didn't need a knife to cut the steaks. They cut easy with a fork and melted in my mouth as I ate it

    This visit was my second visit to Ditka's. My first visit was for my engagement party. We had a party of 20. We got a private room. They treated us like kings and queens. The bartender poured both of my father's drinks so heavy that they warmed up to each other immediately! LOL! This second visit was to celebrate Valentine's Day with my forever Valentine. The first table they gave us was too busy, so we asked for a booth. Without hesitation, they accommodated our request. The ambiance is spot on. The food is as good (and expensive) as you'd expect. But I keep coming back because the service is stellar!

    Mike's salad with filet
    Samantha h.

    Me and my husband were visiting Chicago to see a football game from California. This was a must stop for us as we are huge Chicago Bears fans. We had made reservations well in advance. When we arrived, the hostess told us there would be a short wait, but she told the same thing to the person ahead of us who did not have any reservations. I'm used to being sat right away when I make a reservation. The atmosphere was giving me a nicer Denny's with some football pictures. It was a bit underwhelming. I was hoping they'd have some memorabilia. We decided to start with the stuffed peppers and I would say those were the highlight of our meal. My husband went for the waffles, which were giving me ego vibes. He was underwhelmed by them also. I went for the Mike's salad and I added fillet. The salad was $14 but the fillet was an additional $17. I'll post a picture of the salad. I definitely wouldn't go back to this restaurant but I guess if you're a huge Chicago bears fan you should go but don't have high expectations. We did enjoy our server who was very friendly and we appreciated his recommendations.

I ordered the Texas Sausage and a Caesar salad that was anything but traditional. The seasoned pumpkin seeds and anchovy took it up a notch. A friend joined me last minute and ordered the Gulf Fried Shrimp with Cajun fries, and that was another 10/10. And we can't forget the Raspberry Refresher--a blend of house rosé, Hendrick's gin, lychee, and raspberry purée. Delicious and officially my drink of Summer 2026! Simple bar eats with an unexpected twist, and I loved every bite. The only thing that made it home was the rest of the sausage stack, and that was intentional! I love throwing them in the air fryer the next morning and pairing them with fried or boiled eggs. Yum!

    A group of us visited Perry's Steakhouse in Oak Brook for a celebration dinner. We were sat in the…read moreprivate dining room which was just off the entry. A beautiful circular room that was glass enclosed with views of outside and the bar area. They had sheet curtains incase groups wanted a bit more privacy. The room also had a personal fan for air circulation and an independent speaker system to adjust music volume. For drinks, our group got a variety of cocktails, beer, and wine. I got the Hugo Spritz which was a great portion & tasted amazing. While some cocktails on menu were expensive, my Spritz was $14 and my friend's tito's dirty martini was only $13. Definitely consider just ordering a classic versus one of their mixology offerings if you're looking for a budget conscious option. For starters, we shared the Stuffed Mushrooms, Calamari, and Spinach & Artichoke Dip. The portions were good for sharing. The Stuffed Mushrooms had a seafood mix in them with a delicious sauce paired under. The Calamari had a hint of spicy to it but nothing crazy. The Spinach & Artichoke Dip had a good truffle note and was creamy; the dip could have used a few more chips but some individuals used the complimentary bread slices. Most individuals got a soup or salad before the mains. The Lobster Bisque Soup was rich and creamy with a good amount of lobster. Others tried the Caesar, Chop, and Field Green Pear Salads. The Pear Salad could have been shared by two people since it was a starter salad. Everyone raved about the flavors of these. For mains, most people got steaks and shared side dishes of Brussel Sprouts, Truffle Steak Fries, and Asparagus. The sides were shareable for 2-3 people I would say. I ordered the Seared Scallop Pasta and loved it! The noodles were al dente, two sauces paired nicely together, and loved the vegetables that brightened up the dish. For desserts, we shared the Rocky Road Bread Pudding, Fudgy Chocolate Cake, and Orange Vanilla Cream Cheesecake. Every option brought its own flavor and offered something for everyone. I tried the Bread Pudding and Chocolate Cake and WOW! I'd certainly order either one again. While all of the food, drinks, and atmosphere were great, I struggled some with the service. Our main server was Christine who guided us through the menu nicely, made sure the room was comfortable for us, and had a sweet demeanor. The pacing of food was a bit off where it felt like dishes were being taken off the table with a couple of bites left just to serve the next course. I'm not a fan of wasting food when out and I felt these little bites could have been saved and sent home with guests. If we paid for it, we should ALWAYS be asked. There were a couple of side requests that came to the table very delayed and one meal that came at the end of dinner. I'm sure it is difficult to manage a large group setting but I felt disappointed to see items wasted, pacing rushed, and certain people waiting to enjoy till additional items came.

    Why do we stray away!…read more Consistency is extremely important to me as a returning customer to any restaurant. Service & the quality of food will always be at the top of my list. After venturing out to the city and having a failed experience, we went to Gibson's in OakBrook. High five all around. The restaurant was extremely busy as it was a Saturday night, and we were greeted with a smile by their amazing hostess, who was able to see us immediately. The servers are extremely knowledgeable, but also have excellent taste in wine selections! We ordered the crab meat avocado for starter in. This was the first time we ever tried this particular appetizer. Ladies and gentlemen, it did not disappoint! My only regret is there was non-left to take home for dinner. We had the New York strip, lamb chops (Greek style),mashed potatoes,brussel sprouts and elote for sides. Zero complaints, excellent all around. The steak was cooked to perfection and the lamb chops just melt in your mouth. Even though we barely made a dent, we ordered the carrot cake to take home! Thank you to our excellent servers who contributed to a great night. As I say, that's just my palate, go try it for yourself and let me know what you think.

He asked another bartender who looked it up on his cell phone. Once they figured it out I must say it was pretty good even though it lacked the nutmeg garnish. When all arrived we were seated outside. Beautiful setting and the weather was perfect. The house Cabernet was adequate. Tuna tartare appetizer was tasty. Lobster bisque soup did come out hot but it was just ok. Side salads were just ok too. Bone in ribeyes came to the table sizzling but they too were "just ok." Spinach and sweet potato sides were plentiful. The four of us shared a blueberry Bundt cake with ice cream. Though the service was stellar we left feeling that our entrees were mediocre at best. We did have an enjoyable meal in a perfect atmosphere. Were the entrees worth $70(+/-) each? Sadly, no. It has been years since we had dined at a Gibson's. We agreed that we remember the entrees to having been better than "just ok."

Our party ordered some apps to share (artichoke, shrimp, bread) and we ordered 3 salads to split between 6 adults. I ordered a delicious espresso martini! The food came out promptly and our server was fantastic, however the cook on my husbands's steak and my father in-law's prime rib didn't have the done-ness they ordered. My husband ordered his steak "rare" and my FIL ordered his prime rib medium, but the done-ness on both were swapped when they came out. The server took care of it and the manager came over to apologize and also offer a salad/soup or something for them to eat while waiting for their meat to be redone. This was the only reason for the 4 stars, but otherwise our meal was fantastic! We ordered one dessert to share (between the adults) and a goblet of vanilla ice cream for my kiddo. Great meal all around. J Alexander's is a great place for a party (up to 6 adults) for a special and/or celebratory meal. The food was delicious and the service was great. 4 shining stars.

The overall presentation was a bit sad but I guess there is only so much you can do with a salad. It tasted good and that's what really matters. Service did seem to slow down by the end of our meal though. It took a while to get the check and an even longer while for someone to collect the check. Overall, though, a solid dining spot to celebrate something special or even just a casual shopping day.
