I tend to think of River North being more like UWS (around the 60s) than Park Ave.

I think Mag Mile is a lot more like Fifth Ave than Park.

The best steak that I have eaten in awhile was at Jamison Char House in Arlington Heights. They seem to have several locations, however. May need some kind of transport to get there...

Default Nice local option...

The folks that run Jamison's do a nice job. They generally have the highest grade of traditional resturant supplier choice steaks that purveyors offer to the mainstream. As would be expected by folks with a heritage of Greek resturants their roast lamb is an especially nice option.

It is not fair to even consider the many other categories of meat- centric spots in and around the region that do things on a whole other level.

I'm glad to see that this thread has evolved into a list for Chicago restaurants. I have only tried Purple Pig from the list and really enjoyed it. Any other restaurants that are similar to PP (small plates, funky and innovative)?

That's hilarious about the steak. lol, hope she won't kill you for that. In general, the best steak houses are going to be more expensive, but generally have big steaks. Like at Gibson's, the smallest steak is actually 14 oz. There's that, Morton's, David Burke's, Gene & Georgetti, Smith & Wollensky, etc. Those places are mainly american, or somehow italian-american that you'll find, mainly in River North kind of area.

I like a place like Tango Sur in Lakeview. It's an Argentine steak house (and BYOB) with a ton of different types of meat and pretty great, but not nearly as expensive as the above. Or something like Las Tablas which is Colombian.

It is.

Its arguably better.
