About the restaurant

The Alston—from Michelin-starred Chef Jenner Tomaska and Scott Weiner & Greg Mohr of the Fifty/50 Group—is a steakhouse in Chicago’s Gold Coast.

The menu features a blend of the comforting flavors of a traditional Midwestern steakhouse with the refined elegance of 1920s French Nouvelle cuisine. Chef Tomaska elevates the traditional steakhouse by utilizing open-fire cooking and the highest-quality ingredients from the Midwest. Guests can also enjoy tableside service, including bread and cheese carts and an innovative take on a Duck a la Presse carved at the table.

The wine program exudes the same level of excellence as the dinner menu, featuring an exclusive wine cellar housing an array of vintages, from the classics to avant-garde boutique wines.

More is more at The Alston. The luxurious space boasts 350 seats across its expansive dining room, Champagne bar, year-round terrace and private dining spaces. The Alston also houses Chicago's most upscale and unique private member's club.

Old-school steak house with good fish, as most have, and great service. It’s expensive but the quality and attention are worth it once in a while. I’d rather go less often for a really good meal. Some more trendy steak places cost even more and aren’t as good. Be careful if you’re watching your diet. There are some very rich and tempting offerings (Lobster GOT), so share. Sides are big.
