Great Wine List* Click here for rating key
Great views of the Chicago River, prime outdoor seating and a massive, American-minded wine list earn points for this boisterous, upscale Big Apple entry, located in a two-story building between Marina City's twin corncobs. The woody dining rooms---which ring with the sound of clanking plates---attract a business clientele, who are tended to by a platoon of well-informed, uniformed servers (though service varies widely from visit to visit). The dry-aged steaks and chops are of high quality, but in a city flush with carnivorous fare they aren’t the best in town. We tend to favor the simple wood-grilled seafood---the halibut in particular---gussied up with lemon zest or sweet-but-warming chili oil when the mood strikes. On the side? Truffled mac ‘n’ cheese, of course. When we’re hankering for meat, the buttery Gorgonzola-crusted steak is always our pick. The cozy downstairs grill has an all-day menu with marginally lower prices.
