One of the best steaks I've ever eaten - love the slightly crisp char on the outside. Top notch service, old school feel. Nice bar atmosphere. The bread really needs improvement thought, it's like cheap grocery story bread, served cold - you need something bakery quality, served warm, maybe a whole wheat sourdough etc.

Amazing! This may be the first time in my life I have visited a restaurant 5 times in a row. When I ask my family and friends who live in town or out of town where they would like to go to eat they consistently say "Gene & Georgetti's" ...which is fine by me ...however I am a little surprised they keep asking to go back time and time again. We recently went this weekend for the 5th time in a row with my brother and friends and they all loved it. We are Italian and perhaps have a different standard when it comes to food and Gene & Georgett's hits the mark every time. Angelo is the BEST and the rest of his team are as well. They are so welcoming and make you feel like Family every time you are there. Great Food, Great Drinks, Great Wine, Great Experience! 6 Stars our of 5

I did not know that there was a set Thanksgiving menu. The selections were very limited. We choose the chicken dish. The chicken was very boney and hard to eat with a knife and fork. Also, the peppers were very hot. The salad was very bland. The pricing was very expensive for what you got. Our bill for 2 people was well over $300.00. 2 glasses of house wine was $38.00. If I were to go again, I would order from their standard menu.

We have been going here for years. Food has always been wonderful. We found that they were having a Thanksgiving menu, we decided to spend the money to go, even though it was pretty pricey. $105.00 a person. The staff was great, host was very nice. It was a preset menu.. we all chose the Turkey. It was horrible tasting. They gave a full plate of dry flavorless chunks of meat, and an entire wing. Vegetables were limp, mashed tasted like it came from a box, very little gravy. Sooooo disappointed. Really looked forward to a great meal and I am sorry to say it was awful.

Glad we at least ordered a tomahawk steak instead of the turkey dinner. The steak was the only good thing served. It was very obvious how quickly the waiters brought out the food that everything was cooked way ahead of time. The mashed potatoes were cold and very hard. The roasted vegetables had a little bit of grill marks on them but were all pretty much raw, as were the roasted brussel sprouts, both were also cold. Nothing had flavor, not even the caesar salad, totally bland. I could hear Gordon Ramsey yelling in my head about not using any salt. We were so looking forward to having a great dinner at this famous Chicago restaurant but were so disappointed. The wait staff were wonderful.

Gene and Georgetti's is a Chicago treasure - if you've never been, you must go. There are a lot of steakhouses in Chi-town, but this one, is classically superb in every way. Food is second to none, exceptional staff, and lovely dining room can't be beat. If you're a classic man or woman, regardless of age, this is the place to go.
