The Scene – Very masculine, with warm amber lighting and high-backed, black leather booths--the room buzzes with the sounds of deals in the making. Caricatures and drawings in mismatched frames cover the rich mahogany walls. Though it can lag at lunch, service is impeccable--and knowledgeable--at dinner. – – The Food – The classic American menu focuses on red meat, pasta and seafood, all served in larger-than-life portions. Seared tuna starter has an international twist, sprinkled generously with sesame seeds and served sushi-style with chopsticks, wasabi and soy…

steak house?

In the very beginig I was a litle intimidated by the decor all framed artwork and the prices ($39 NY strip) however at the table waiter brougth (without been asked) a taste of some house special wine sangiovese from italy wich was delicius and unexpensive and told us a litle bit about his recomendations for that evenig, after he took our order he said that's way to much food so he offered to split the dishes, at the end we had some tuna sashimi w chopsticks and stuff, a meatloaf with mash potatoes and creamy spinach have to say main dishes come with a side and the best part of the evening was the cobbler that also comes with ice cream, since then grill on the alley is a favorite spot for my family and friends, best value in the magnificent mile.
- Pros: tuna sushi, prime rib quesadilla, trout w crab meat, crab cakes, meatloaf, cobbler
- Cons: no parking, can be crowded

The Best Spot on the Magnificent Mile!!
by luckyleo
From the moment I walked through the doors I knew it was going to be an awesome experience. The atmosphere at The Grill captures the very essence of Chicago. The bartenders were skilled artists at their craft and whipped up awesome tasty treats for us to try. The wine list is impressive - top notch. The staff is very attentive and went above and beyond what you would normally expect. Let's not forget about the food. That is the best part. First of all they have the best crab cake I've personally ever had, hands down. If you don't order it, you've missed the boat. I had the pan-fried trout and it knocked my socks off. I would recommend it to anyone. If you haven't tried The Grill yet, stop reading this and make your reservations!!
- Pros: Ambience, location and wine selection

Best service
by bernieluke
I've been to The Grill many times - mostly eating in the bar area. First - they know how to make a whiskey sour. That won my allegiance straight off. And it's consistent. Everything has been great from the kitchen - the appetizers make this a perfect place for late-night groups. There's such variety on the menu - from burgers to steaks - or seafood. The service is stellar - whoever hires here does a top-notch job. So friendly and helpful. Try this place - no disappointment.
