Food was spectacular, service was lacking. Dined here during the week. From what I gathered, the few tables that were occupied by business diners with expense accounts were given priority. No corkage fee policy, so we decided to buy a $500 bottle from their selection. When dining out at other steakhouses i.e. chicago cut, gibsons, mortons the wine is poured by our server. Or at least offered. The steaks, appetizers, sides, were phemonimal. The prices are right on par with all the others in the city. I'd say at these prices, go elsewhere your business, not just those with expense accounts are appeciated and acknowleged.

Oh my gosh, wonderful. Ask for Gary and Rory. We had a great time. Food was phenomenal. Sides are family style and good sized. They have Kobe beef, husband loved it. Pecan pie was excellent.

Great atmosphere, great taste and great service. We are from out of town and partook in their thanksgiving meal. Tasted like home cooking but with a sophistication and flair you would expect from a top notch steak joint. Some of us had steak and needless to say that was great as well. The sides were plentiful and well seasoned. Not too salty or oily but rich in taste - with a great nod to tradition. Dessert definitely reminded you of the coming holiday season and left you wanting more. Our second year in a row. Hope to make it number three next year.

The wedge salad was absolute perfect. The ribeye - not so much. Not sure where the fault lies, but my $54 steak was gristly and tough. Tried to give the benefit of the doubt because of reputation, but this was truly not a good steak. I was looking forward to a Chicago steakhouse experience. This wasn't it. Great wine list though. Ultimately disappointing for such a pricey meal. Not sure what went wrong.

We were treated very well by the staff, especially Paul. The ambiance and service were excellent. We simply felt the food was nothing special and fell below our expectations, given the price, when compared to NYC steakhouses we frequent.

Was overall a good experience but the restaurant itself comes across a bit dated. Feels a bit like it was decorated, menu, etc from the 70s or 80s. Had a steak that was so so. The gnocchi side was the best thing we had. The truffle fries were also good. Other sides also so so. Deserts were good but nothing to die for. Overall was fine but for the cost I wish I would have picked somewhere else for the occasion.

Anniversary diner. Easy to get and keep reservation. No wait.

Food was amazing. Tuna Poke and Lobster Raviolo where excellent . Included bread was wonderful as well. Moving to the main course. I got the Miyagi A5 filet. It was bar none the best thing I've ever eaten. Desert was excellent, drinks where stiff.

Easy to recommend a place that gave great service and that serviced wonderful fare.

It was hard choosing from the plethora of steakhouses Chicago has to offer. This restaurant is upscale but also takes children into consideration with their kids menu. The food was amazing and probably one of the best steaks we have had. Fast service and amazing experience!

The food is like many streak houses in Chicago - very good. Value is actually good except when you get to the wine list - which is very good; long; great depth - but very very expensive. With very few "values.

I recently took a potential client to Benny's for dinner. The restaurant was cool and the service was very good. The food was good, not great. For the price, I think you want it to be a little bit better. None of it was bad by any means, it just didn't bowl me over with the quality.

Birthday

The Dover sole came highly recommended from our server. It was basically tasteless with a coating of something I could not discern. My husband and sons’ steaks were good, but the sides we ordered, Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes were also marginal. We were so looking forward to this dinner and left feeling quite disappointed. Other than the disappointing recommendation for the sole, our server Alex was one bright spot on the experience.
