 Great views of the Chicago River, prime outdoor seating and a massive, American-minded wine list earn points for this boisterous, upscale Big Apple steakhouse, located in a two-story building between Marina City's twin corncobs. The wood-trimmed dining rooms---which ring with the sound of clanking plates---attract a business clientele that's tended to by a platoon of well-informed, uniformed servers. The dry-aged steaks and chops are of top quality, but in a city flush with carnivorous fare we've found better versions exist. As a result, we favor the simple, wood-grilled seafood instead. Get the halibut, adorned with lemon zest or sweet-but-warming chili oil. On the side? Truffled mac ‘n’ cheese. If you are hankering for meat, pick the tender, Gorgonzola-crusted steak. As for desserts, they’re oversized and what you’d expect from a steakhouse: carrot or chocolate cake. The cozy downstairs grill has an all-day menu with marginally lower prices.
