 This boutique-hotel restaurant near the Magnificent Mile affords contemporary fare like the pretzel-crusted crab cake with poppy seed honey, seaweed-brined half chicken with basil whipped potatoes, and lobster bisque with green apple essence alongside a lobster stick. But the focus is squarely on steak. Try "South Side" filet mignon or "Kentucky" rib-eye, the latter state acting as the source for all of the top-tier meat served here. David Burke (David Burke Townhouse) and executive chef Rick Gresh have it dry-aged in a salt-tiled aging room on the premises. For those looking to go beyond the basics, sauces and mousses are available to complement any cut. If you have room, end your meal with some homemade donuts or cheesecake lollipops. And don't rule out coming here for brunch, which is an interpretation of a Chinese dim sum experience. About two dozen dishes are rolled around, from steak au poivre tips with creamed spinach to French toast egg rolls to mini pies.
