Mouth-watering well-aged on premises steaks is the reason to come here (giant Porterhouse for two - 3" thick!), though the seafood looks great too. The room is upscale modern with lots of leather hides covering the benches. Jazzy murals on the walls make this place a real looker and place to be seen. But the chef seemed to have forgotten to turn the steak on the grill, as one side was over-cooked and the other too rare. When we complained, it was simply recooked on the rare side, but nothing done to address the too well done side. For those prices, it should have been redone entirely.

    Careful! The aged steaks go from routine 28 days to extreme 75! The smell may be too much and the taste extreme, so order a lesser aged one unless you can eat a really dead cow. Fascinating to get 5 diners to order different aged and compare them all.. Otherwise, just a top level Chicago steakhouse.
