Chicago is, and will always be, a meat market, so finding a prime cut of beef will never be a challenge. There’s also a range of spots to enjoy said meat — from the classic “guys definitely used to smoke cigars in here” banquet rooms to the recent wave of convention-breaking new-comers spreading outside the boundaries of River North.

With its sleek digs and balanced menu, this sophisticated collaboration between the Melmans, Rancics, and Chef Doug Psaltis effortlessly bridges the gap between old-school and new-school steakhouses. The black truffle burger topped with rich foie gras butter is one of the most luxurious power lunch options in town, while the expertly crafted cocktails, thoughtful vegetable sides, abundant steaks, and table-side baked Alaska share the spotlight at dinner, making for a meal that’s as impressive as it is well-rounded.
