The Scene
More than four years after opening its doors, Nine still draws Chicago's beautiful people by the roomful to its glam dining area and hip upstairs Ghost Bar. All glass, mirrors, brown suede and shiny silver, the cavernous, super-sleek space is centered around a granite champagne and caviar bar supported by pillars that shimmer like disco balls. Service flows smoothly.
The Food
The contemporary American fare is consistently excellent. The two cones appetizer is fabulous, one overflowing with tuna tartare, another with chunks of lobster and avocado. Rock shrimp are delightfully crispy, with a mellow tobiko aioli and a Vietnamese pepper sauce that's devilishly hot. Ahi tuna is perfectly pink inside; New York sirloin is charbroiled to perfection. Desserts--including dreamy profiteroles and luscious Valhrona chocolate cake--are all worth saving room for.

why don't you go there if you want steak but not if you like eating steak in your own home (and also you cook it)

Overall, a great place to go. Expect to spend 200-250 for two people at least if you are drinking 2 or more drinks a piece or wine. But large martinis, great, informative waiters and beautiful decor make this place a must visit. I have been to the Vegas/Palms Nine and I think the Chicago version is better. We asked for local club and bar venues (Ghost bar is right upstairs also) and the bartender came back with a list and detailed what to expect at each place and their closing times. Great job by him. Both our meals were very good, but they slighltly overcooked our ordered rare lamb chops. Not a big deal as there were still good. My bone-in Filet option was a staggering 68 bucks. Good, but on a return visit I would choose the standard filet or one of the cheaper steak versions and use the extra money on an appetizer or more drinks. The caesar salad very well could have been the best I have ever had (no anchovies per request). Some small flaws but worth the visit in Chicago's ultra-competitive high end dining market. Highly recommended.
