Sullivan's Steakhouse - ChicagoFantastic FoodMy experience at Sullivan's steak house was wonderful. The staff was very accommodating and helpful when making our food selections. I would definitely go back here again. There were 10 of us out for a business dinner. We were put in a private room which made conversation very easy to hear and share with each other. Overall great experience.6/10/2013 12:00:00 AMCompany Dinner Time!We had a great company dinner in one of the private rooms upstairs. It was nice to be able to discuss business and enjoy great conversation without having to talk over all of the typical background noise...6/10/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a great time!The service is always great and the food and drinks are always fabulous!6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMLady's weekendWe had a good experience here, but the waiter got a little busy and did not give us the kind of service we have enjoyed in the past.
Steaks were good, but they were not as good a quality as we have had at a good steak restaurant. Not the smoothest texture, but tasty. overall, it was a 3.5/5.0. Not sure I would go back. Too many great places to go in Chicago.6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Food & Outstanding ServiceCelebrated a friend's bachelor party here. Service was outstanding from the moment we arrived. Waiter even made sure that he got us in and out in time to get to our other plans for the evening. Food was top quality. Succulent scallops wrapped in bacon, spicy and perfectly done calamari, and oysters made for an amazing start to our meal. If they offer it, the dry-aged tomahawk cut rib-eye is perfection and comes highly recommended. They even correctly made us Moscow Mules. This was my second trip here and I'll definitely plan a third, a fourth, etc... They have definitely found a life-long customer in me after two excellent showings.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and great timeI really enjoyed my bone-in filet and just enjoyed the fact that they had live music in the bar.6/3/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for business dinnersSullivan's definitely provided what I was looking for. A great atmosphere for an important business meeting. We had a table for 5. The table was actually big enough to sit 5 comfortably. I really appreciated that. The place is well decorated. They have a good selection of wine. Food was GREAT. Service was also good. I definitely recommend this restaurant
Things that they can improve on
1) Our server was a little too pushy on up-selling. Even though I appreciated his recommendations I though he was overdoing it.
2) We drank the first bottle of wine before we had our dinner. I told the server that we'll decide on the next bottle later. He asked me 3-4 times whether I made a decision. It felt like he was rushing/ pushing me to drink more6/3/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was excellent andThe food was excellent and the service was outstanding, as usual. We will
surely return.6/1/2013 12:00:00 AMbest steaksDespite too much noise with the new open floor plan, still our pick for special-occasion steak dinner.

Our food was scrumptious. The drinks were great. My husband ordered the CEO martini and states it was the best he has ever had. Steaks were cooked to perfection. The Gorgonzola garlic sauce on my steak was to die for good. It was noisy. Hard to have a nice conversation. Live jazz pianist playing all evening.

Couldn't have been a better experience.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMWas a little apprehensiveWas a little apprehensive to go to a chain restaurant for a steak dinner in Chicago, however the concierge assured me that they were very good. Service was a little less than expected at a "nice" steak restaurant, a little unprofessional. The food was spectacular and the wine was delicious as well.4/15/2013 12:00:00 AMI went with a group of elevenI went with a group of eleven for a bachelor party. Food was excellent, service was good.

The steak was amazing- best New York Strip ever! Our server was fantastic, and made great recommendations. The jazz was a very nice backdrop but not too loud. We do not agree with the reviews that said the restaurant was too loud. The restaurant is beautiful, modern, and romantic. We were very happy!3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service we received recentlyThe service we received recently at Sullivan's Steakhous was beyond fabulous.

A little noisy but the food was excellent. Service was great and would definitely visit again.3/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Find!Very happy that we decided to eat here. Had been to the Ruth's Chris across the street the night before, but found this place better (though maybe a little more expensive). The staff was excellent and very open to having our kids decide what they wanted to eat, the 'manager' even comp'ed the kids desserts, which was completely unexpected. The wine list was considerable, and the waiter was very helpful helping us make our decisions.3/12/2013 12:00:00 AMSullivan's was one of theSullivan's was one of the best experiences that I have ever had. The service was outstanding and the food was superb.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AMOverall, was my best experienceOverall, was my best experience there. Had a wonderful waitress. I've had plenty of rude or uninterested waitress prior so it definitely made it worth while to have a friendly one. They managed to prep a special order for us and the staff was super friendly.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AMI'd go back...I would probably go back to this restaurant again, our meal was lovely, just as I would hope, every bite delicious and our Waitress, Kasey ( sorry if I spell your name wrong) was exceptional. One of the best waitresses ever! And we loved our big luxurious booth....but otherwise the dining room is nice, just maybe could use a tad more character ( I love design and work in a related industry, so ambiance and the room are important when I'm dropping a major dime!) The bar looked fun, tho not my cup of tea, ha, but the music that night was simply annoying. Not the usual jazz I'm told. The duo sang every old worn out song the same as the last, we decided to have our nightcap elsewhere...but great restaurant overall! Love the lemon martinis! YUM!3/3/2013 12:00:00 AM
