    Octopus on The Grill
    Darrell L.

    This was an amazing experience for the minute we walked in until the time we walked out. Not only was the food amazing the customer service was as well. Rafael took great care of us. He did a great job of explaining the cuts of meat and the specials of the night. My wife and I usually split a steak (not to be cheap, but we simply don't eat a lot) and they were very generous and split it on two plates without any issues. The steak was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The octopus as an app and our side was good as well. I will 100% come back here the next time I'm in Chicago.

    I came to Kinzie's for my Chicago birthday trip a couple weeks back. It was a Saturday night, and lots of the neighboring restaurants were packed. We called Kinzie's and there was no wait. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and escorted to our seats rather quickly. All the staff were elegantly dressed, and looked very sharp. Very great impression. We were served a complimentary bite courtesy of the chef, which I don't recall the name, but it was seafood based. I ordered the filet medallions, with the Mac & cheese, and my friend ordered a center cut steak with mixed vegetables. I had a glass of prosecco & she ordered a Negroni. The menu was limited and quite expensive, but because I was celebrating my birthday, I decided to splurge a little. The food was good, I expected more from the steak though. It was cooked well, but could've used more salt. The Mac & cheese and vegetables were great. My friend told our server that it was my birthday so they gave me a sweet birthday card and a chocolate cake with the cutest gold bear adornment. It was such a nice gesture. The service was amazing, and the staff were very attentive, and thoughtful. They ensured our experience was a memorable one.

    Wonderful space to meet up with friends or coworkers for happy hour. I was able to tour several private spaces which can accommodate events of various sizes. The food was very tasty and good quality.

    Once again everything was perfect. We hosted our company dinner last week and chose Kinzie Chophouse because the atmosphere, cuisine and owners. We knew everything would be tended to. Planning was quick, easy and organized. Our party was upstairs in an adorable 2 room area. Big windows with a view of the city, holiday decor and wonderful music created the perfect evening. Our wine, appetizers and entrees were all delicious. Management and staff cared for every detail. I highly recommend Kinzie Chophouse for private events.

    Came to Kenzie Chophouse for my birthday dinner with my boyfriend..his favorite steakhouse, and now I see why. The food was amazing. I had the dry aged lamb chops, perfectly seared and so flavorful I didn't need any sauce. He had a medium steak, also excellent. We shared the mac and cheese (creamy with bacon crumbles, solid but not mind blowing) and the fried potato cubes, which were a bit bland for my taste. They surprised me with a cute birthday dessert and candle, which was a sweet touch. I also had two sidecars that were strong and smooth. My boyfriend tried a whiskey based cocktail that was a little sweet for his usual taste but still enjoyable. Service was top tier attentive without being pushy. Multiple staff checked in on us, made sure we had what we needed, and even asked about allergies. We were seated right away, and everything flowed smoothly. The ambiance is dark, sultry, and intimate with velvet booths and a gorgeous backlit bar. It was surprisingly quiet for Father's Day (my birthday) definitely a hidden gem. Great food, great drinks, great service.

    Amazing dinner from beginning to end! They were very accommodating with our large party of 14. Everyone started with cocktails and the chef sent out an amuse bouche. A wonderful tutorial about the differences of the steaks was really informative. Then delicious appetizers 2 each: Seafood Tower ($125), Mini Crab Cakes ($24) and Pork Belly ($16). I'm not a big steak eater so I got a Wedge Salad ($13) and French Onion Soup ($16). Got to share sides like the Mac n Cheese ($15) and Pomme Paillasson Potatoes ($14) Then I tried some Filet ($58) and the Dry Aged Delmonico ($76) from my friends. The Delmonico is definitely the way you want to go on this, no comparison. The entire evening was so leisurely and elegant. No rush at all, I couldn't believe we were there until 11pm. It wasn't until later I found out this is the only woman owned steakhouse in Chicago, very cool.

    Soo.. this is a very rare time where I'm a bit conflicted on how to rate a restaurant. I'm giving 4 stars bc I tasted my friend's steak and it was delicious. It's a steakhouse. Of course the steak Should be amazing. Also the chef gave our table a lil treat (forgot what it was).. all of us loved our drinks and the waiter was great. So there are reasons why I want to give a high rating. I had a great time (mainly bc of the people I came with) Why this is not 5 stars.. my salmon could have been seasoned more. Much more. I was trying to really soak it in the sauce that it came with to get more flavor but there really wasn't much of that either. For a side, I originally ordered their version of au gratin potatoes. Their's really was just a 'liquidy' soup with small round potatoes in it with baked cheese on top (cheese seemed to have been just hovering over the bowl tho.. like the potatoes didn't actually have cheese on them). Wasn't really a fan of that. So me and a friend split a lobster risotto. At first taste, it was really good. Then.. idk. Just go for the steak

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.

But what really won me over was the service and how the people there took care of me. I made two big mistakes that could've tanked my evening, but the staff came through for me. I got there a little bit before my date arrived, only to realize that I'd forgotten to reserve a table. I felt like a total idiot. Thankfully, the hosts managed to get me a table for two, which couldn't have been easy on such short notice. Then the bigger problem came at the end of the night. Obviously, I wanted to make a good impression on my date by taking care of the bill, since I was the one who had asked her out, but there was a problem with my debit card for some inexplicable reason. I tried to get ahold of my bank to see if I could figure out what went wrong, but it was after hours and I couldn't get them on the phone. I tried to vail how much I was panicking on the inside, it was such an embarrassing moment at the end of what had otherwise been a great first date. The server who'd brought the bill was very kind the whole time, and she went to get the manager to see if there was a way we could sort out this situation. I don't think I've had a better experience with a manager at any institution than the one I had with the manager at Beatrix. He was so empathetic to my situation, and said he'd been in situations not unlike the found myself in. He had such a calming presence, which was exactly what I needed in that moment. He had very simple solution for me. I got ahold of a family member, and they sent him a link so that he could pay the bill remotely. I as able to reimburse them the next day after I'd sorted out the issue with my bank (it turned out to be a very stupid problem that took all of 5 minutes to fix). I'm never gonna forget the night I went on a date at Beatrix. It's clear that the people there truly care about their customers, and they do a great job at taking care of them. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a good night out. Just make sure you get a reservation beforehand!

Dresscode: Smart Casual / Casual Noise Level: Medium (it gets buzzy after 5:30pm) Thursday night Happy Hour was lively, so it took about 10-15 minutes for someone to come around, but service was attentive once we got going. The food is where Ēma really shines. From the Happy Hour menu, the Charred Eggplant Hummus and Crispy Potatoes were generously portioned and great for sharing. On the main menu, the Indian-Mediterranean fusion Bhel Hummus was a party for my taste buds, while the Hot Honey Halloumi and Chicken Kefta rounded out the table nicely. The halloumi is more of a side than a main, but that sweet-and-salty hot honey combo was chef's kiss. For our finisher, the Chocolate Torte knocked us out.
