Quality

by joanne dunderdale at Citysearch

This restaurant has been a favorite in our family for 40 years! Whenever something special has happened in our family's lives, we celebrate at Myron and Phil's.

The service is so personable and efficient, the food is delicious----chopped liver on a matza cracker:the best, ambience reminds me of real Chicago. Thanks for the memories!

• Pros: Service, Quality of Food, Old-School Ambience
• Cons: None noted

Bad experience, Grossly overrated and overpriced

by winston smith at Citysearch

I recently dined at this so called high end establishment with a childhood friend who I sought to impress while he was visiting. Unfortunately, the chow at this overrated, overpriced dump didn't get the trick done. I ordered the Walleyed Pike. I was served what I believe was Orange Roughy and poorly prepared at that. My guest ordered the prime rib. While it was appetizing, the bone in portion consisted of an excessive amount of fat. Next time I will stick to Gibson's. This place was a disapointment.

Melt in Your Mouth Food

by Gormet at Citysearch

The food was EXCELLENT, the atmosphere was nice.

The service was great!

I highly recommend this restaurant for those who want a Special Treat. The price was resonable for the quailty of the food.

• Pros: Fabulous Lamb Chops, and Whitefish

Best London Broil

by JBUBIS at Citysearch

My mother and I eat at Myron & Phil about twice a month. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Truly the best London Broil I've ever had. My only disappointment was when they took the London Broil off the menue as a regular item. The Chicken Teriyaki is also outstanding. Mark, the owner, makes sure everyone is happy. I highly recomend Myron & Phil's

• Pros: Food is great
• Cons: None

The best Skirt Sreak ever, and the Shrimp De Jongh is to die for

by JoFriedman at Citysearch

My father first brought me here many years ago, as I have brought my son as well. Whenever there is a special occasion; it's Myron & Phils'! I found the atmosphere charming enough to propose to my wife there four years ago. No matter what you order from the menu, you are guaranteed a delectable feast, from the chopped liver to dessert.

I took my wife there last year for valentines day dinner, and they went above and beyond.

With my reservation I had ordered a single rose to be delivered to the table (a real nice touch, guys). what I hadn't expected was the presentation the waiter had prepared. My wife was speechless, with tears of joy. I too was left a little weepy, and I had arranged for this.

One can find good food most anywhere (although hard pressed to find better), but it is also the people who make a restaurant. For atmosphere, food quality, and staff; five stars is not enough. It remains my favorite, and for good reason.

Too Much Hype

by dconnors at Citysearch

Summary: I'm not sure what all the other reviews were talking about. We had a very below average experience. I was amazed at the prices. We live in downtown Chicago, so we are use to the city prices, but this was insane. I wouldn't have minded, but the food was so average.

Atmosphere: Decent ambiance. The bathroom smelled like a porta poty and i had to trudge through an inch of some kind of liquid to get through the bathroom. I'd rather not guess what liquid I was standing in.

Service: The gentleman on the phone was very nice, our Hostess was very nice, then we met our Server. Maybe it was because we were a party of 6, but she didn't seem to care too much since she already had her 18 gratuity included.

Food: A la carte? With those prices? WOW! The sharable sides were nice, but $8 for a bowl of creamed spinach that looks/tastes like it just came out of a can? Asparagus that were just microwaved? It just kept getting worse. Best steak in Chicago? Have you ever been to Chicago?

We wanted to try a new place, and we regret it. We will definitely NOT return.

• Pros: Free bread - I'm surprised
• Cons: Price, Value, Food, Service, I could go on and on...

Great food, drinks and service

by ScottVesq at Citysearch

Myron & Phil's is not a restaurant...it is an institution that one must attend on a regular basis. Steaks, seafood, salads, great drinks and a nice winelist make for an enjoyable evening. Comfortable bar for meeting before and after dinner. They now have an outside patio area as well. This place will make you feel welcome and you will enjoy your meal.

• Pros: Service, food, drinks, comfortable
• Cons: None

Best Place Just Outside of the City

by rascruggs at Citysearch

There are a bunch of decent steak joints in Chicago, but the ones anybody hears about are within a mile of each other. A lot of these places have a real old fashioned feel to them. Myron and Phil's is the real deal. You won't find a better cut of meat or a better mixed martini on the north side.

• Pros: Great Food, Reasonable Prices, Great Drinks
• Cons: Bad if you don't like
