Hamilton Walker's

This is a perfect blend of approachable local spot and fine dining. As someone who spends a lot of time in steakhouses around Chicago, this place is exactly what I was looking for! We took my mother in law here for Mother’s Day weekend and loved it so much, we took my father in law for his birthday the following weekend. The food is incredible. I am a fan of splitting entrees, especially at steakhouses since the sides are served family style. We had excellent cocktails! They were spot on with the classic Cosmo and Aviation. The Army Navy was tasty like a melted popsicle- very tasty, just a little too sweet for me to order more than one. Solid wine list as well. They brought warm bread, and freshly toasted gluten free bread for the allergy at our table. It felt so special! We didn’t grab an appetizer and went straight to splitting a large filet and ribeye. The kitchen sliced everything for us- so sharing was a breeze! The green beans were amazing, and the smashed potatoes were potatoes. Most entrees come with a soup or salad. I am obsessed with the homemade ranch dressing- the lightest ranch you have ever had in the best way. Packed full of flavor! I didn’t have high hopes for the dessert, but we were blown away. They key lime pie and flourless chocolate cake were rich, and the sauces they came with were 10/10. Like any steakhouse, they are on the pricier side. But for someone who dines in Chicago- this place is a steal! (Another note- Kyle is a darling. Truly takes time to chat. He figured out it was my father in laws birthday- even though we forgot to tell him!)

Great steak restaurant. Gluten free toasted bread was very good. Whiskey menu was very good. A little expensive but worth the occasional visit
