THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Chicago's Steak, Seafood & Pasta Restaurant Review:

Not just a steakhouse (as if we needed another), not really a neighborhood bistro, the restaurant and cozy bar prepares very good steaks and other meats, but offers some unusual surprises and blackboard specials to please the mostly local crowd and keep them coming back. There’s a piano bar and a more quiet seating area with large comfortable booths and soft lighting. The interior is just fancy enough. The young servers work in teams and things come out of the kitchen hot. Appetizers make great bar noshes, especially the stuffed mushrooms and pan-roasted mussels. The lobster bisque is a silky smooth version, rich with lobster flavor. To complement the beef, including a slow-roasted prime rib, there’s always a fresh fish entrée, ribs, two veal dishes, creative pastas, an herb-crusted salmon standard and pork chops. But the lowly chicken entrée shines here, two versions of which are favorites: pecan chicken with Bing cherries over mashed sweet potatoes and Greek chicken with garlic, lemon, olives and feta cheese. In another value note, Chicago’s actually includes a salad, potato and veggie with each entrée. There’s a full bar with a good selection of batch bourbons and single malts. The modest wine list is approachable and priced well under the norm for Atlanta restaurants. Also located at Parkside Shopping Center, 4920 Roswell Rd., Sandy Springs, Atlanta, 404-257-8883; and 4401 Shallowford Rd., Shallowford Falls, Roswell, 770-993-7464.
