What People Are Saying About Chicago Prime Steakhouse

Featured Review

The Scene – Handsome and serene, this dining oasis near Woodfield Mall is clubby but not macho, refined but not stuffy. Savvy servers do the whole meat-tray thing, and background jazz (live on Thursday, Friday and Saturday) helps guests relax amid the upholstered dark wood booths and dramatic drapery. An inviting lounge completes the scenario. – – The Food – The classic steakhouse fare stars prime beef and fresh seafood, with some twists like pork chops in a blueberry-bourbon sauce and grilled Alaskan king salmon. The wonderful beef menu has a cut for every carnivore's…

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
The award-winning wine list includes more than 200 bottles ranging from $30-$210, plus a higher-end reserve list. About 30 wines by the glass, too.
Where to Sit:
The cozy fireside room is the place to be in the wintertime. It seats 75 people, and is one of the most requested spaces in the restaurant.
The Extras:
Live music is featured five nights per week, with keyboard-vocalist Tue-Wed 7:30pm-10:30pm and jazz trio Thu-Sat 8:30pm-11:30pm.
Know Before You Go:
Call to reserve prime rib. They roast the expected number of racks for five hours--and when they're gone, they're gone.

A fun evening.

by Savina

I went with a friend to this restaurant last night. I loved it. The ambience was fabulous. They had Vic Flannagan as the singer for background music....I enjoyed it all so much.

Drinks and service outstanding.

The food was pretty good. I would certainly go back for another enjoyable evening.

If you have a craving for Good Food, Great service, Friendly wait staff and Excellent Hosts, you have got to try Chicago Prime Steakhouse. The environment is to die for. Top Notch and Classy . Took my wife and family there for Mother's day and the Service was Great to start out with. The Filet Mignon was cooked to perfection as were the appetizers. What a cool place to eat at. My Wife absolutely enjoyed the experience as did I. We will definitely return for more. Love you Guys and thanks for the experience...

Unforgettable Experience at Chicago Prime!!

by Kathryn G22

In December my family had a pre-Christmas dinner at Chicago Prime Steakhouse. It was an absolutle unforgettable experience...! When we walked through the door we were greeted with a warm and very welcoming smile from the hostess. The service was outstanding and our server was very attentive even after we had already paid our bill. The steak was absolutely mouth watering, by far the best steak i have ever had, the ambiance was wonderful and the entire restaurant was decorated with beautiful Christmas decor! My family and I had a terrific time and will definately be coming back soon!!

by MARYM

This is our date night or special occassion restaurant. Little pricey, as everything is ala carte, but you won't be disappointed. We've gone here for years and have never had a bad meal. Ever.

Best Of The Best!

by Joaquin0131

I researched this restaurant among some of the top restaurants in Chicago and by far was the best pick for many people and not only that the atmosphere looked perfect for what i wanted to do.

I proposed to my girlfriend on 6/24 and let me tell you they deserve the five stars for the attention to detail, Great food and excellent service. My girlfriend now fiance, Loved the place. The Place is really elegant and a perfect setting to propose or many other things.

The bill was pricy but for the quality of food and service it is worth it.

Overall Great place to go and have a beautiful dinner and listen to live music which gives it a calm and romantic atmosphere.
