We dined here on a Friday night. If you're staying at the hotel, I definitely recommend making reservations because you may have a hard time getting in otherwise. EJ was our server and he was such a nice young may very helpful and accommodating, and he checked on us throughout the meal to make sure we had everything we needed. I started with the calamari which EJ suggested, and it was really good! I also ordered the shrimp and scallop roll but I didn't realize it had cilantro in it. The restaurant is pretty dimly lit, so I completely missed that on the menu. Once I tasted the cilantro, I couldn't eat it and had to send it back. I also had the Classic Caesar salad which was disappointing. It was very plain, and the dressing was bland. I couldn't taste that traditional anchovy flavor that I expect from a good Caesar. One of my family members ordered the crab cake with a baked potato The crab cake was falling apart, which I've never really seen before, but she said it tasted good. Now, the mango sidecarOH MY! That drink was powerful AND delicious!** Definitely one of the highlights of the night. Overall, there were some hits and misses with the food, but the calamari and mango sidecar were great, and EJ's excellent service really stood out. The other staff was very nice and some remembered me from the night venue when I came to use my $25 credit read more

Came here for happy hour since we stayed at the hotel and there's daily $25 restaurant credit. I ordered Old Fashioned and California roll. The drink is nice and very strong. I am a bit picky about the sushi rolls because the rice is kind of hard. Overall it's a very nice space. Decor is dark and sophisticated. The service is very attentive. read more

I can't believe this is hidden inside the Hyatt Regency. Their happy hour is incredible! 4:30-6:00 everyday with deals on drinks and sushi! Although we didn't try any steaks, the sushi was fresh and delicious. They also make a great old fashion! The bartenders were super nice and checked on us often... and the bar even has a TV. Definitely check out their happy hour if you're in town! read more

I was staying at the Hyatt Regency and came here my first night and sat at the bar. I highly recommend the Old Fashioned at the bar. My only recommendation is to ask for that he ice cube if that's your preference. I didn't know to ask and got small cubes that watered it down a bit... or I just drink too slowly. After reading other reviews, I had to try the Miso Marinated Black Cod. I was so not disappointed! The cod was perfectly cooked with sweetness that paired nicely with the baby leeks and mushrooms. I also had the Loaded Baked Potato as my side. The potato was incredibly fluffy and I loved that I could mix in the butter, chives, sour cream and cheese to make it just as I liked it. I didn't have dessert but they all looked delicious! read more

Located inside of the Chicago Hyatt Regency. Stopping in briefly for a drink before attending a dinner meeting, I was greeted quickly, quietly and with a soft smile. Because I knew I was coming soon a huge dinner I didn't want to order anything. I opted for the HH Old Fashioned. 1-5. I'd give it a 3. It was much sweeter than I like, made with regular ice cubes which made it feel like and taste like a regular bourbon on the rocks. Next time during my next Chicago work trip, I'll give them a visit for dinner. read more

Modern dining room; can see the kitchen from your seat. Service is excellent. I had edamame while waiting for a friend. He got the NY strip and I got the strip steak w chimmichurri. DELICIOUS! We split the corn and mashed potatoes - both were great sides for our meals/ No dessert since we were on our way to a show. read more

Love this place! Very fancy and high end. Love the atmosphere and the decorations all around made it feel like such a comfy vibe! Would definitely want to come back during the cold season as this place would make me so warm. Our server Jesse was very friendly and funny. He recommended the best things to our table as me and my boyfriend got the ribeye! The images in the picture is half of a ribeye as me and my boyfriend split one, they served it to us in half which was very convenient and thoughtful of them! Didn't capture a picture of the complimentary bread, however that was one of the most tasty bread I've ever ate! My whole table loved the bread that we asked for more! And then at the end of the meal. Jesse even offered us more bread to take home! So kind of him. read more

We dined here because I was in town for a conference and the daily F&B credit. However when the restaurant was nearly empty at 8pm on a Thursday night we should've left. The service was great but the quality of the food and flavor profile was poor. We ordered lobster bisque, creamed spinach, octopus, hamachi jalapeño and the worst kale and freisee salad known to mankind. The bisque was burnt, lacking in silky rich flavors, it was salty and charred. The octopus was rubbery and bland. The sushi roll was warm and unbalanced. I ended up just picking the fish off the top and eating it because the inside of the roll was poorly executed. When the salad came to the table I was shocked, it was dry and just a pile of vegetables and not a well thought out salad. It hit several bitter notes. I love beets, kale radish etc but the presentation and preparation of this salad was a miss. Our server was nice, but unfortunately the food missed the mark and was underwhelming. read more

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. read more

Sushi only. Really nice deal for happy hour, but happy hour sushi is not cheap. I had the California roll which uses reeal crab, but not as good as most places at home. Big portions, and thick cuts which were nice. Spicy tuna roll. Also good, healhy amount of tuna, but nothing special. read more

Stopped in twice to take advantage of the Hyatt Regency hotel's $25 credit that they have an offsetting charge for on your room. Nice vibe, but the repetitiveness of the loud techno music is annoying. Bartenders were great, Loved the Kale and Frisée salad. Did not try any of the sushi, but they looked great going by, as I was saving room for deep dish later on in my typical tour of Chicago deep dish pizzerias. read more

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. read more

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. read more

So they advertise a sushi happy hour but it's only a couple of rolls. It does not seem like a set hh sushi menu the bartender just pointed to a few rolls and said they were on hh. So that was a bit disappointing. They did have decent hh drinks and you get a bowl of nuts with wasabi peas in it. read more

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! read more

Came here because I thought it was a little more high end and I would enjoy a nice drink and dinner at the bar. When I got here at the " manager" I think, only because she kept going into a room that no one else did... Was so loud that I could not even enjoy myself. She was talking to the people and it was all about herself. It was just disappointing because I wanted to just relax in a nice environment and have a nice meal. Ended up having to leave the hotel and walk down the street. Just a disappointing evening overall. I think whoever this woman is should pay more attention to her surroundings and her guests and get the attention of herself. She seemed more concerned about what anybody else thought about her rather than us enjoying our time there read more

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. read more

Our server was sweet but the food was pretty disappointing. I got a miso soup and Caesar salad. The soup was quite basic and the salad had stale bread on it. My sister really liked her sushi roll and my cousin liked their food ok. I got a German glass of wine and it was so sweet I couldn't drink it. The staff were really nice and that was the highlight for sure. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Truly disappointing The filer was fine The California roll was inconsistently sized and so basic/dull - even not considering its $23 price The restaurant was SO LOUD! And there was asparagus (which I hate and to which I'm allergic) in my order of broccolini - and I found it by biting into a piece Very very underwhelming We were going to have deep dish pizza tomorrow but instead we booked another local steakhouse for tomorrow night for a do-over read more

I sat at the Sushi Bar, and the sushi was excellent. I have sushi in cities across the country ordering some of the same item and the flavors here were exceptional. The sushi chefs are masters of their trade. It was so good on Monday night, 9/23, that I went back on Tuesday night, 9/24. I would highly recommend Stetsons! Steve read more

I was staying at the Hyatt and was hungry and lazy, so I went to Stetsons. Sat at the bar. Lovely place, great and friendly service. I started with a couple pieces of sashimi, which I thought were overpriced until they arrived. Easily twice the size of most places I've been. Switched to steak for dinner and ordered a ribeye, mashed potatoes, and a Caesar salad. The salad came first. Looked great with plenty of dressing and shaved Parmesan. The dressing lacked garlic and pepper, so I found it a little bland. Next came the steak and mashed potatoes. The taters seemed real, but again, were bland. The steak was overcooked by a bit: ordered med-rare; got medium to medium well. But I was starving and the steak was saved by the peppercorn sauce that was pretty good. Way overpriced. And if you want to be considered a steakhouse, you gotta get the temperature right! Skip this place for steak. read more

Wavering between 3-4 stars, overall good but not great experience. Service 4.5 - service was very attentive and polite, normally would be full points but got wrong order (asked for unagi roll and got dragon, which was fixed politely, and side order of asparagus instead of mixed veggies which I didn't bring up) and towards the end of the meal when service got busy sat for 10-15 minutes waiting for them to take my card. Food 3 - As someone who loves steak and sushi, I was somewhat excited and underwhelmed. Skirt steak was tasty, well seasoned/marinated and went well with the mashed potatoes/chimichurri but slightly overcooked (asked for medium rare got medium/medium well). Sushi rolls were tasty but honestly nothing crazy out of the ordinary, at $20-25 per roll I expected better value for money. Drinks ordered spring in Kyoto which was overpoweringly sweet, and daiginjo sake which wasn't worth $23/glass unfortunately. Atmosphere 4.5 - very nice modern and upscale feel, very nice ambiance and extremely polite and friendly staff lead to a pleasant experience Price 2 - very pricey for what they offer, relatively small portions on steak as well. I'm assuming this is due to being inside the hotel and having a lot of customers traveling/expensing for business but not worth it for paying out of pocket. read more

The best rib eye steak I've had in a loooong time. Cooked medium rare. So good with that brown sauce. Honestly delicious on its own. I scarfed it down! Also, the shrimp tempura roll was good too. Seriously good steak!!! Also, I ate this to-go and it was still phenomenal. I want more! read more

Spent the weekend downtown with my wife and needed some last minute reservations for dinner with family. Stetsons was walking distance. The ribeye is the best steak I've ever had and the sushi is just as good as when I was living in Japan. So good me and my wife went back the very next day. Highly recommend splitting a steak and a couple roles of sushi! read more

Everything was fine, but very uninspired. The calamari wasn't bad but could have used more seasoning. The edamame was devoid of the hint of salt that is a staple of this dish. Likewise the shrimp and scallops sushi and the old fashioned were all solid but not special or ranking anywhere near the more exceptional experiences I have had with this cuisine. For the price I expected more. I wouldn't say avoid the place if you have a taste for steak or sushi, but moderate your expectations. read more

Food! This place is certainly not a destination, this is more of a place that you go to when nothing else is easily available to you or you're just too tired to walk/ride somewhere. The food was acceptable, neither outstanding or terrible. They did overcook the salmon, which I asked for 'rare' since I knew that they would overcook it anyways, it was to the point of canned tuna. And the ribeye was chewy, which they can't control and is more a problem with the animal and not the restaurant. I don't plan on returning, though if I was in the hotel and had no other options, I might. read more

I did not have high hopes for a hotel restaurant, but I dare say that the octopus appetizer I had was not good. The octopus was overcooked. The lettuce it laid upon was tough grocery store lettuce that was dressed in some kind of gloppy ranch dressing that was not tossed.... So you got large globs of dressing as you ate. For these reasons, I stopped there and did not order an entree. read more
