Editorial Review for Carmichael's Steak House – by J.P. Anderson
The Scene
A roomy joint in the West Loop loft district, this comfortable steakhouse pays homage to old Chicago, with big, blown-up photos of the stockyards on exposed brick walls, and handsome, Prairie-style oak accents. The place is packed with broad-shouldered, biz-casual types at lunch, rubbing elbows at high tables in the front bar and keeping the suspendered servers on their toes. Evenings are less hectic, but service still tends to lag.
The Food
Carmichael's pricey steakhouse menu is scattered with hits and misses: Redolent of garlic and bread-crumbs, bubbling-hot rock shrimp de Jonghe scores as a starter, though other plates (wimpy crab cakes, overdressed salads, soggy creamed spinach) fail to impress. These guys do know how to cook a steak, though. All cuts are prime, from the tender, flavorful garlic and herb filet to the Chicago cut, a 20-ounce, bone-in rib-eye with big, smoky flavor and an impressive marbling of fat.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasThe restaurant offers complimentary valet parking, plus free shuttles to and from the United Center on game nights and for concerts.
Where to SitDuring the warmer months, blooming flowers and occasional live music make Carmichael's expansive outdoor terrace the place to be. Inside, you'll want to angle for one of the roomy booths.
User Reviews for Carmichael's Steak House

we were seated promptly but only because the place was fairly empty for an early Friday night, which should have been a warning, but we sat down anyway. Service was average, and the food was definitely below average. The steak had no flavor and was chewy, and the side dishes were rather plain. Found this place to be extremely overpriced for the quality.
Pros: Prompt seating, nice ambience
Cons: Overpriced for terrible food

We went on a Saturday night Bulls night, were promptly seated, had great service, and excellent food. Really not much to improve upon. The steak was very tender and cooked perfectly, and the free valet + shuttle to the United Center made the game a snap. In and out, door to door service. Awesome.
Pros: Valet and shuttle to United Center
