Getting there

A word from David Burke's Primehouse in the James Hotel

The first chef to own his own bull, Chef David Burke's commitment to quality is evident in the USDA prime grade, hand-selected beef served in David Burke's Primehouse. The restaurant dry-ages its meats in a Himalayan salt-tiled aging room on premise. The result is perfectly marble-ized, tender beef… with a rich depth of flavor. Tours of this unique facility can be arranged upon reservation. David Burke's Primehouse continues to redefine modern American cuisine by pushing the envelope of culinary creativity, marked by notable dishes, such as Surf and Turf Dumplings filled with braised short rib and lobster mousse, Kobe Beef Sashimi on Himalayan rock salt with mushroom chips and truffle sauce, the award-winning 55-Day Aged Bone-In Rib Eye,and the "South Side" Bone-In Filet Mignon.

"We had 10:00 am brunch reservations--but brunch did not start until 11am. So we had the regular breakfast which was very good. Buttermilk pancakes were incredible. The ambiance seemed dated."

"Whenever we drive to Chicago, we make every effort to reserved the 9:30pm table. It's the last one available before the kitchen closes at 10pm. 55 day aged steak is a must. Get the 3 sides for $19. Plenty to share. I wasn't quite too happy with the steamed green beans. It was crunchy because it was still a bit undercooked. My birthday was celebrated with a BANG! Love the chocolate layered cake with vanilla ice cream. Our server mentioned the "FREE TOUR" of the storage area where they have the dry aged meat. It's a nice walk to see the back side of the kitchen. Would have love to hear informative facts from the tour guide - the manager - but it's good enough to see the 6yr old dry aged meat just for the heck of it :)"

"The food was very good. We were sat originally at a table that was very drafty and I tend to get cold very easy, so we requested a new table. They seemed a little put out to move us, but gave us a great new table with no draft. Our waitress was less than friendly but the food would bring me back again. I had the salmon and my husband had steak"
