    For convenience and hanger issues, I tend to eat at the restaurants at hotels. I also set my expectations low bc I don't want to be disappointed when I am anticipating an amazing meal. BUT...Stetsons did NOT disappoint. It started off slow and calm as it wasn't a very busy night. The host sat us near the bar with a view of this mesmerizing fireplace. It definitely isn't your usual steakhouse as it has a whole sushi bar in the restaurant like you'd think it was a dedicated Japanese restaurant. I wasn't in the mood for steak but really wanted to try the fish and how fresh it was. Now, where can you get a wedge salad, sushi rolls, lobster bisque, char grilled octopus and miso marinated black cod in the same place? HERE. That's where. Salad was chilled and knife ans fork ready. The creamiest blue cheese crumbles and I don't really like blue cheese. This one wasn't so sharp but very palletable. Charred Octopus was another favorite. Great flavors. Tender. The black miso cod was the star of this meal for me. Could not get enough of it. Surprised as this was a steakhouse + sushi bar. Loved every single bite. Hubs gave me spoonfuls of his lobster bisque. NGL, it was pretty legit with pure flavors vs covering it up with cream and butter. Their dessert was no joke. I wanted to sample everything. Had their toffee cheesecake AND their chocolate cake. The cake was huge! Like back in the days where Claim Jumpers was around. Nice and moist and not too sweet. Some bites were dryer than others. Needed a glass of milk for it. Our server Hussein, I believe, was slow to warm up to us. But by the end of the night we were joking around and had a very enjoyable last night dinner. Our 1st meal in Chicago. Love the convenience of this resto being in the hotel. No reservation needed though we made one anyways since it was getting late. We were not rushed to leave at all though it was close to their closing time.

    That seafood tower was amazing

    Love this place located right inside the Hyatt Regency in downtown Chicago! Went with a large group and we ordered several items. Staff was very attentive and everything was delicious! Check out that seafood tower. It had everything on it you would like! For dinner, I had the prime rib I could only eat half of it.

    Truthfully only came here for the happy hour while we were staying at the Hyatt. Half price sushi and $6 old fashions obviously drew me in! Super cute, mature, and classy restaurant. We sat at the bar and all the bartenders were so nice to us. I got the sunset roll and it was perfect.

    One of the best dining experiences I've had in Chicago! My sister and I came to Stetsons Modern Steakhouse + Sushi for a girls' night and everything was exceptional from start to finish. We decided to trust our server, Anthony, with the entire menu -- and he absolutely delivered. His recommendations and wine pairings were spot-on for every course and truly elevated the whole experience. We ordered a mix of sushi and steakhouse classics, and every dish was outstanding. The Sunset Roll and Dragon Roll were packed with flavor, the Shrimp & Scallop Roll was fresh and bright, and the 10oz Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The sides were just as impressive -- especially the grilled corn with lime crema and chipotle dust and the creamed spinach. The crab cake was another standout with almost all crab and barely any filler. Between the incredible food, the cozy upscale atmosphere, and Anthony's thoughtful, attentive service, this was an unforgettable night. Highly recommend Stetsons whether you're staying at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, planning a date night, or just craving amazing sushi and steak in the same place. I'll definitely be back!

    Not the best steaks in Chicago, but it is priced like they are. The food was very good and the service was excellent. They have a good cocktail menu as well as a great wine list (which they bring to you separately on an iPad). I got the 10 ounce fillet with the peppercorn sauce which was very good. I ordered it medium and it was cooked perfectly. My guest got the salmon and she also liked the flavor. A good steakhouse, but not outstanding.

    Came by for happy hour drinks while staying at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Chicago. Sat at the bar and got a $6 old fashioned! The happy hour menu is definitely worth checking out, as this is an upscale restaurant. Very classy ambiance.

    Lemon & Pepper Calamari $22
    Matt P.

    Stayed at the Hyatt Regency and decided to grab some dinner because I wanted to have a chill night before my flight out the next day. Called the restaurant to place an order for pick up and was told that they only take orders in person. WTF, this is a restaurant inside of a Hyatt. Why would they not allow call in orders. I guess they've been burned by people placing orders and not picking them up. Ordered the lemon & pepper calamari, sunset and California roll. While waiting, I also ordered an Old Fashion with Makers Mark. The Old Fashion was just ok, but a little stiff. Not the greatest, but at $14, I guess you can't expect that great of a drink at a hotel restaurant. For the amount of calamari you get for $22, it wasn't bad. It's understandable that the calamari wasn't as crispy, but I did notice that the lid to the aioli melted due to the heat. When it says lemon & pepper, I was thinking something similar to what you would get at a Chinese restaurant. This wasn't seasoned at all, but did have an aioli sauce to dip in. But it did not taste anything like lemon or pepper. I wonder if they forgot to season it. The California roll had real crab meat in it. But at $22, that's a big pricey. I can't comment on the Sunset roll as I didn't eat it, but my wife said it was just ok. Based on how everything was, this place is definitely overpriced for food taste. Only saving grace is that this restaurant is located inside of the Hyatt.

    Nice jazz swing background music and modern decor. Friendly helpful staff. Had a manhattan and a spicy tuna roll. The house bread and butter was delicious w a nice crunch. Finished with edimame that was still steaming. Was delicious

    Stetson Restaurant,  inside Hyatt Regency on Wacker Drive

    Stopped at Stetsons again for an early dinner. Food was delicious again. My steak was perfectly done. Wine was good. A surprising find- they use Lagiole knives for their baked potatoes! You don't often see that brand in a restaurant! Edy was my server for the meal and he was excellent. Pete, the manager,stopped by again to make sure everything was okay. We chatted about bear and moose in Alaska!

    Apple Pie

    Great service that was slightly overly attentive but the food was great. I love the Calamari here and the Miso soup is beautiful presented but tastes the same as I could get at a Chinese takeaway. I didn't order any steak. The steak prices are extremely expensive even for a lower quality cut like ribeye. I had a salad which was very fibrous but protein on it would've made it more palatable. Those are not offered over the menu. They have a great wine assortment and I enjoyed a crisp half-glass of Pinot Grigio. The bread is thick and served warm. I did adore the Apple Pie which is flaky, buttery, served warm (without having to ask), and is paired with decadent vanilla ice cream.

    Met up with some coworkers for dinner while at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. Sushi was great. Waitstaff was attentive drinks were never empty. A bit pricey but nice environment and plenty of seating.

    Stetsons is located in the Hyatt Regency Hotel. After a long day of exploring Chicago we decided to keep dinner close to our hotel because who wants to walk on a full stomach? I ordered a steak which could have used some salt and pepper, asparagus, & the sunset sushi was spicy and delicious. My waiter was Mohamed. He was kind, and made sure I was enjoying myself and the food. There is dim lighting in here so it's a very romantic vibe, especially if you sit next to the fire. I'd definitely come back for the sushi!

    14oz Prime Ribeye* cooked to perfection and the flavor was 10/10. Top steaks I've had!!!!

The ambience is dimly lit, cozy, with speakeasy-like vibes and seemingly intimate, so it would make a good date night too. Service was great, and our waiter was very attentive and offered his advice and input on food items. I opted for the Lyonnaise Salad, thick-cut bacon, truffle mac n cheese, and Steak frites. My friend had the Double Wagyu cheeseburger. Everything was relatively good, the steak frites cooked a little too done for me though. The salad, the thick-cut bacon, and the cheeseburger were delicious. I am not a fan of the truffle mac n cheese, but then again I don't really like truffle, so take that into consideration. Dessert was delicious! Apple Pie and ice cream were literally so good. While I don't think it's spectacular or anything, it's on par with other Chicago restaurants in this category, and I would visit again.

For starters, we ordered the kimchi pork dumplings and grilled octopus, which both tasted great, but the kimchi flavoring did overpower everything. Our main course included the marinated short rib, wag rib eye, and a5 5 brisket which were all cooked to perfection by our server. However, my experience at Perilla Steakhouse was hands down frustrating. Upon arrival, things were off to a rough start when I could barely hear the server over the music. At times, I felt like our server was rushing us through our meal based on how much less attention he gave us versus the other tables. I'm not someone who needs my glass refilled every minute either to be clear, but things did feel off with how slow our meal was paced out and the general disinterest the server had in us. For reference, we arrived early to a nearly empty restaurant that hadn't started peak dining time yet. I recognize the steakhouse is an upscale, chic take on traditional Korean dishes and I admire the chef for sharing his culture with the city. I also understand restaurants are going to be more expensive, the closer you are located in relation to downtown. Even so, in comparison to other nearby high-end restaurants, the price to portion ratio for our meal felt off. For example, our $16 dumplings included 3 dumplings on a plate. Yes, there's an argument for inflation and the cost of quality ingredients, but I argue that at this price point we shouldn't have left hungry either.

We greatly enjoyed our conversation with him and he even gifted me a coffee table book detailing the history and menu of La Grande Boucherie, which was so kind and such an amazing gesture. Fernando set our experience apart from any other dining experience in Chicago and he made this meal one of our favorites!

    Came here last night for dinner with another couple for the first time. While the food was good,…read morethe service was not so I don't think I'll be back. For starters, we had a reservation which I would recommend. We were seated right away and while the place is large inside, I'm not sure what walk-in availability is like. The food: we really enjoyed the octopus, escargot, I had the Filet Mignon Au Poivre, and the banana/coconut entremet. The octopus was tender and flavorful; octopus cooked right (especially in smaller pieces) is hard to find so I was impressed. The escargot was nice and buttery/garlicky, and piping hot. I LOVED my Filet with the green peppercorn cream sauce! It was delicious and my husband was surprised I ate so much of it. It was cooked exactly as I asked, the meat had good flavor, and the sauce was delicious and well balanced + the right consistency. Lastly, the banana and coconut dessert was a pleasant surprise. The banana flavor was fresh (not artificial) and had the right balance of coconut. It was creamy, not too sweet, and had the right balance of textures with the outer coating and the crumble underneath - if you like banana or coconut at all I'd say it's a must order! The creme brulee was just okay. My issue was the service - the table next to ours LIT ON FIRE because a menu was over the top of a candle. After burning half the menu and the fire was getting larger, our partners ran over and put it out with their napkins. They yelled and there was NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT from the staff at all - at least 2 staff saw and one waiters eyes got big for a minute and she turned away. Not even a thank you from anyone to our partners for putting it out, and they had to ask for new napkins because theirs had black char on them. We were in the middle of enjoying our appetizers and my friend was just digging into her French onion soup from our first round and the staff kept trying to take our plates away. My friend had to tell them 3 times to please leave the soup at the table, and overall made us feel very rushed. We weren't taking a long time to eat at all so felt very weird? When the entrees were dropped on the table, my friend got a steak and they kept trying to give her a butter knife. It took multiple attempts to get the correct knife. Then once we were done eating it took a while to get our plates and old glasses cleared away. Overall service timing was off and their aggressiveness in the beginning of trying to take our plates away + the lack of response to A FIRE in the restaurant was pretty alarming. While I enjoyed the food there, the service was pretty bad and I feel unsafe with the lack of response to a fire in the restaurant so I don't think we'll return.

    We had a beautiful luncheon on Easter across from the Cathedral, at Sophia's steakhouse. I just…read morehave to say how wonderful our waiter Brent was. He was incredibly efficient, attentive without ever hovering, and had such a natural sense of humor that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The food was excellent! It's rare to find someone who balances professionalism with warmth so effortlessly. He truly added something special to our afternoon, and we left feeling very well taken care of.

    Wow!!! The best service we have had In a hot minute!!!! Had the pleasure of sitting in Nina's…read moresection tonight and she was such a delight! So helpful with the suggestions, so attentive and so kind and personable!!! Off of her amazing recommendations we got the tuna tartare, hamachi crudo, miso salmon , skirt steak and bread pudding !!! I would order every single item again! The skirt steak specifically was cooked perfectly and the chimichurri was absolutely phenomenal!!! I will be thinking about it for a while! The blueberry spritz was so good I had three lol! I love that every day they have specific specials so Monday night was steak frites. The tartare was perfect to share and lasted a lot longer than we thought! Who I think was the manager came by a few times to make sure all was well which just felt so nice for a Monday night. This place is perfect for GNO, Business Dinner, or a Third+ date! I have nothing but positive things to say!! AMAZING place
