I thought Graham Elliot was ridiculous. The staff, except for the bartender, was pretentious. And even though it was a tasting menu, the portions were absurdly small. A couple of the courses were really good, but nothing impressive in my opinion.
Rosebud Prime is really good. And I liked Catch 35 as well.

Chicago Chop House.


This one, too.

Expensive and worth every penny.

Incredible meat at that place. And they know how to cook it, too.

$$$$ though

I'm interested. What do you do for a living? Or, what have you done?

It's not pizza but Big Star is the best restaurant in Chicago, and I haven't found anything even moderately comparable.
