I have waited a long time to finally try White Chocolate, and I went alone for dinner…read more I've been looking forward to this for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos during my visit, but I wanted to share my experience for anyone considering this restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience felt underwhelming. The cocktails tasted watered down and were served in hard plastic drink ware, think water glass, which didn't match the dining experience I expected. The "wedge salad" arrived as a stacked pile of chopped iceberg lettuce--no wedge and no balsamic drizzle. I asked for an actual wedge salad and the menu described a traditional Wedge Salad. When I asked my waitress about the style Wedge salad I was served, she said, "Oh, I'll ask the cook not to cut it up for you," which was confusing. What came back as a replacement was a small piece of iceberg, about the size of a large brownie--not a wedge. Really? Sad service, sad food I'm glad I made the visit so I could see for myself, but it didn't meet expectations, and now I know. Please, Don't waste your time.

Another day, another parade walking with Ted Dabrowski. After 6 miles or so, we were ready for…read morelunch, so after making our way back to our car, we navigated into downtown, found a place to park, and went looking for a place to eat. My wife spotted this place across the street - Kitchen by Gordon Ramsay. How could we go wrong? Well, we couldn't. The interior was smartly outfitted - the lighting, the ceilings, the walls, were all classy and nicely done. Service was outstanding - water and soft drink glasses were refilled regularly, and the table checked for food quality on multiple occasions. I was intrigued by their Prime Rib Sandwich, which is served with onion crisps. I went for the $4 upgrade to Truffle Fries. The sandwich was LARGE, very tasty, and just plain wonderful to eat. The Truffle Fries added a bit of spice to the meal. My wife had their Fish & Chips. When I saw the sandwich on the side just coming out of the kitchen, I was wondering how she'd eat it, since the piece of fish was BIG. Like How Do I eat this BIG. She used her knife and fork and got the job done. Great food, great service, nice location right on Jefferson Avenue. What a great place! We'll have to come back for Dinner!

Ambience was fine, not overly impressive, we could hear the expediter and the kitchen. Service seemed average, waitress was friendly but not overly attentive, especially with how few tables they had at the time. Had a mocktail that was so nondescript as to be completely unmemorable. Coffee was good, just hard to get enough refills. Potato-leek soup with chili oil drops resembled thin baby food, and was so tasteless, we had to request salt and pepper. They didn't even have salt and pepper shakers; it came in small tumblers. The Beef Wellington from the prix fixe menu was smaller than expected for the price. The beef was fine but was more like a filet than a beef tenderloin. The mushroom coating was far too earthy and tasted a little bit like dirt. The pastry was kind of raw on the inside. The sides that came with the Beef Wellington were a schmeer of mashed potatoes - which were okay - and a tiny pile of steamed carrots and leeks. The chocolate tart was good, but not incredible. Did not live up to the hype or the "Ramsey Reputation;" will probably not return. Overall experience - kind of "meh."

It was my first time trying frog legs, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. They were served in a flavorful lemon butter sauce and tasted very similar to chicken. For my entrée, I ordered the swordfish special. It was fresh, flavorful, and not fishy at all. The fish was incredibly tender and cut like butter. My only complaint was that the portion size was a little small. For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée, muddy bottom pie, and cheesecake. All three desserts were excellent, but the crème brûlée was the standout. The creamy custard paired perfectly with the crisp caramelized sugar topping. Overall, we had a great dining experience. The food was delicious, the service was attentive, and I would definitely return

I got the pork chop, mashed potatoes, and the chocolate cake dessert. They also serve a big loaf of bread. You can tear/rip it, or you can try to cut it with the butter knife. It was funny watching other tables trying to decide. The pork chop was cooked medium and had a nice flavor. The staff were friendly. Overall, good experience. Only awkward part was, our table was next to the silverware and linens table. Each tiime staff needed to redress a table, they had to squeeze behind me to get what they needed.

Steven was so amazing, down to earth and hilarious which made our night special. Of course we participated in Chicago Restaurant Week. My boyfriend and mom had wedge salad and Caesar salads and filet mignon. I had the lobster bisque and salmon . There was a miscommunication with our dessert selection which Steven made our night again and gave everyone both desserts to go. We love Edward and Steven. The best steakhouse ever.

The offerings have reasonable but elevated prices. I ordered cake and steak: one crab cake, one 4 Oz filet. The asparagus was gritty like they didn't clean it first or cooked it on a dirty grill. The crab cake had nice sweetness but more shell bits than I'm used to. Steak had a bit of sauce but no flavor of significance. For what they charge, it's mediocre flavor. Decent meats. Inexcusable dirty asparagus. I don't think I'll eat here again.

If you are looking for a dining experience that feels like a celebratory event, Chama Gaúcha…read moreBrazilian Steakhouse is a masterclass in the art of churrasco. It manages to strike that rare balance between upscale sophistication and the high-energy "service at the speed of light" that defines a world-class steakhouse. ​Here is a breakdown of what makes it a magnificent choice. ​1. The Meats: A Carnivore's Symphony ​The star of the show is, without question, the Picanha. This prime cut of top sirloin is seasoned simply with sea salt and roasted to perfection. When the gaúchos carve it tableside, the outer layer is beautifully seared while the center remains incredibly succulent. ​Diversity of Cuts: From the garlic-heavy Cordeiro (lamb) to the tender Filet Mignon and the smoky Costela (beef ribs) that fall off the bone with the slightest nudge of a fork. ​The "Green Means Go" System: The service is relentless (in the best way). As long as your card is green side up, a parade of skewers will arrive, ensuring your plate is never empty. ​2. The Gourmet Salad Bar ​Calling it a "salad bar" feels like an understatement. It is an architectural display of fresh, high-end ingredients that could easily stand as a meal on its own. ​Highlights: Huge wheels of aged cheeses (like Grana Padano), smoked salmon, marinated artichokes, giant grilled asparagus, and traditional Brazilian feijoada (black bean stew). ​Freshness: Everything is crisp, vibrant, and replenished so frequently it feels like you're the first person to plate a serving. ​3. Atmosphere & Service ​The ambiance is warm, dimly lit, and refined, making it perfect for anything from a high-stakes business dinner to an anniversary. ​Authentic Hospitality: The staff are knowledgeable and move with a choreographed precision. They don't just serve food; they share the culture of the Rio Grande do Sul. ​The Sides: Don't overlook the warm pão de queijo (cheese bread) or the caramelized bananas, which serve as the perfect palate cleanser between savory bites. ​4. The Final Verdict ​Chama Gaúcha isn't just a meal; it's an investment in indulgence. You don't go there for a quick bite; you go there to be treated like royalty while exploring the very best of Southern Brazilian grilling. ​Pro Tip: Save a little room for the Papaya Cream dessert. It's light, refreshing, and topped with a swirl of Crème de Cassis to perfectly round out a heavy meal. 5 star

The hostess looked right at me and decided not to speak with me. I almost left but didn't feel like trying to find a new spot to eat. Then we get seated at a small WOBBLY UNSTABLE table that we have to put a napkin under ourselves to stop from wobbling. We then get served the food meant for the table next to us! It sat on our table for at least 3-4 minutes while we attempted to wave a waiter down to let them know. Then they had the AUDACITY to give the plates that were in front of us for minutes to the couple next to us whom the dishes we meant for!? INSANE!! Not a sorry or any kind of compensation. That's a health code violation and they are lucky that couple next to us didn't put up a fight. Their meal should have been free or Just remake the dish for the poor folks?? You made a mistake, admit to it and make it right!! Besides the wild health code violation, the vibes are pretentious and elitist. Not worth your money. Plenty of better options in the area. Super disappointed! Getting too big for your britches Fox Tail. We loved this place years ago but they have lost their touch.
