chop house is good but gibsons in my opinion and gene and georghettis is better if you are flying in eat at the hilton at ohare a roll back to the 20's , speakeasy type atmosphere and the best filet mignon in chicago, and ig you dont mind being served by pretty girls in fish net stockings and skimpy playboy type bunney outfits with a piano bar and the piano player is hilarious ythe name is the gas light club

Someone else suggested Spiaggia's. We both love Italian. Scavs, others have suggest Chop House as well. I think it will be between those. Thanks everyone.

I'm more of a Morton's fan than the Chop House and IMO Ditka's sucks unless you like cigars and overpriced martini's surrounded by wig wearing, rich, recently divorced, former men and bunch of money sucking former strippers.

you can't go wrong with many people have posted. a few other good ones...
Charlie Trotter's. The 'Kitchen Table" experience is probably the best meal I've ever had. My favorite Chicago restaurant. Ambria. Top French. Very romantic atmosphere. Vivere. Nouveau Italian. Great spot. Naha. New American. Very slegant dining. Nice spot. Boka. The risotto arborio is a killer non-meat dish for the vegan fans. Gene & Georgetti. Gibson's is a great steakhouse, but for the best Chicago steak shop experience, I like Gene & Georgetti by a wide margin. Italian Beef. Al's. Luke's, Mr. Beef. You really can't go wrong with any of these.

Some of my favorite Chicago options..
ERIE CAFE.. Steaks, outstanding veal chop, etc.. Cool room.. LA SCAROLA.. Italian obviously.. small, cramped, loud.. FABULOUS.. On Grand off Orleans.. TWIN ANCHORS.. Ribs.. in Old Town.. JOHNNIES BEEF.. Melrose Park.. On North Ave.. Has a 'grandfathered' charcoal grill for sausage/combos.. Great.. As good or better than Mr. Beef and Al's (and I love Al's).. CAPRI.. Also on North Ave. in Mel Park, absolutely terrific Italian.. Family-owned.. Try the Calamari Capri appy.. Perfectly done calamari in pepperoncini hot oil.. RUSSELL'S BBQ.. Since we're on a Mel Park roll, don't miss Russell's just off North Ave., on left just past Maywood Park and Kiddieland.. Interesting nutmeg-tinged barbecue sauce with beef, pork, chicken,, Different..

If you hit Johnnies ask for 'tree' beefs or combos and no one will know you're not from the area And Steve I've never tried Capri but will now. When my G-pa was alive he insisted on Rosebud and Armands (Elmwood Park) but he wasn't really open to change.
