One of the best dining experiences I've had in Chicago. Yes, it did take some work to get a reservation, but no more than you'd expect for a high-demand destination. Once you've secured your spot, you can look forward to a beautiful space, a Jazz Age soundtrack, and outstanding service. The steakhouse menu also has good options for diners who want to eat lighter, including the perfectly roasted chicken. Two highlights of our first visit was the BYOB policy -- if you want to bring a splurge bottle and not pay a corkage fee, you can share a glass of your wine with a table of your choice -- and our server Chris, who provided expert guidance. We're already planning our next visit!
