- TTomVIPChicago / Illinois •70 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a great meal and enjoyed the service. It was a bit quiet in there since they are just opening. The inside is very comfortable and set as a fine dining experience. The servers were very accommodating by making martinis with the BYOB vodka we brought. Even had lemon twists and olives as garnishes. Started with fresh Blue Point Oysters, then enjoyed the Lobster Bisque and Escargot as starters. The NY Strip Steak was cooked perfectly rare as ordered. Definitely going back soon!More infoNorth Center PrimePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• North Center•3.8
