Dontgo 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

A group of us went there before a show and was appalled by the poor service, arrogant management and overall poor quality of food. In a city filled with great restaurants this isone you should pass on.

Pros: Sat down on time
Cons: Service so slow, poor food.

Terrible Steak 3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

we were seated promptly but only because the place was fairly empty for an early Friday night, which should have been a warning, but we sat down anyway. Service was average, and the food was definitely below average. The steak had no flavor and was chewy, and the side dishes were rather plain. Found this place to be extremely overpriced for the quality.

Pros: Prompt seating, nice ambience
Cons: Overpriced for terrible food

Great for game night too! 5 Star Rating - World class

We went on a Saturday night Bulls night, were promptly seated, had great service, and excellent food. Really not much to improve upon. The steak was very tender and cooked perfectly, and the free valet + shuttle to the United Center made the game a snap. In and out, door to door service. Awesome.

Pros: Valet and shuttle to United Center

Great food, not pretentious 4 Star Rating - Very good

This gem in the west loop is the place to go if you want a great meal and wait staff who is *genuinely* nice....not just always "on". Go on a weeknight when there is not a game at united center (and get a booth) for the full experience.

Pros: free parking is always a good thing in the city
Cons: hard to get a reservation on game nights

Great food and service 5 Star Rating - World class

We were seated promptly for our 6pm reservation. The atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but it was pleasant and the service was great. The filet mignon was delicious and cooked perfectly. My friend and I each ordered the asparagus, tomato basil salad and the waiter recommended that we split this and he was right. It was delicious. We appreciated the advice. the Augratin potatoes were also delicious. My husband had Snapper, it was good, but the steak is the way to go. The shuttle to the United Center was perfect. We valet parked for free at Carmichaels and the shuttle was convenient and easy. We had no problem locating it after the concert. We will be back and I might say we are quite picky when it comes to restaurants.

Pros: food, service, shuttle
Cons: atmosphere
