    This place is probably the best restaurant to get a steak in the south suburbs! Our waiter was awesome and the food came out promptly. It's a little pricey but the quality of the food is well worth it. I ordered the French Onion Soup, Bourbon Ribeye, Mashed Potatoes, and Eddie Potatoes. Everything was amazing, and they even gave us a complimentary dessert since we were there for our anniversary. If you're looking for a decent steakhouse and don't want to deal with the city this place is where you should go! We will definitely be coming back here.

    Our waitress was very good and so was the entire staff. My husband ordered the ribeye which was $70. It had decent flavor and was cooked properly. For $70 you only get a piece of meat, there are no sides. I ordered the cedar planked salmon. It was properly cooked however had zero flavor. For that much money, I would much rather go somewhere else.

    Everything was excellent! The Wagyu ribeye was done to perfection. The one disappointing thing is that place as classy as Eddie Merlot #Eddiemerlot @eddiemerlot allows for part ok ns to sit at a table wearing a baseball hat. They should politely ask the person to remove it.

    Older crowd of course, suburban steakhouse. Good cocktails, bartenders are great!! Server Andrew was a lil bit slow, maybe an off day. Food was great! Calamari Melts in your mouth ! The New Orleans mixed grill was perfect !

    Took my dad here for Father’s Day. I had never been here before and let me tell you the food was absolutely incredible. It’s hard to find places that have a good steak and this place has the best steak! My dad and I ordered the oysters Rockefeller but when we got them, they were served a little bit cold and they were kind of runny. I probably wouldn’t order them again, but that was the only problem that I had. If you are a lover of peanut butter, I would definitely recommend ordering the peanut butter cup dessert. I took one bite and I was like oh my gosh this is amazing and I couldn’t eat it all but I took it home for leftovers and enjoyed it again the day after! The service was very good. We had such a nice waiter. He had a good sense of humor and definitely made our experience worth it. I will definitely come back again :)

    This steakhouse is the BEST steakhouse there is. It blows away all of the downtown Chicago steakhouses by far! Now it isn’t the most affordable, but if you’re going to splurge- make sure you splurge right! The beef carpaccio is out of this world! We typically have to get two- it’s soo good. Every steak is delicious, but their dry aged is the best. Let’s not forget about the sides, because they DO NOT DISAPPOINT! The lobster Mac and cheese , potatoes and Brussels are so mouthwatering they pair nicely with your steak.

    Let's start off with the specialty dishes only served for a couple of months. OMG, we tried the Italia 32oz Prime Porterhouse and the Argentina served with filet mignon and shrimp it and both were was very delicious. Atmosphere has dimmed lighting with a cozy but yet intimate setting to it. The hostess are very talkative and friendly. This was are first time at this restaurant and we'll definitely be coming again.

    On New Year’s Eve my mother and I had a reservation at this location for 8:30pm, upon arrival we noticed two other women waiting for seats in front of the hostess booth and when greeted they asked us if we had a reservation and when I said yes they told me there was a bit of a wait. The fact that you have to wait while having a reservation is beyond me, this obviously meant they over booked for that night, around 9pm we were seated and told by the hostess our waiter would be right with us. The waiter never came , the General Manager was actually the one who brought us the menu and asked us if we wanted something to drink, after ordering a few cocktails and eating an appetizer we were still waiting for someone to come and take our order, finally after we were done with our drinks one of the hostess walked by our table and I told her that we never had a waiter come to the table, she asked me “so you’ve been here for almost an hour and no one ever came to take your order?” I replied “a guy with a suit brought us drinks and an appetizer but he hasn’t been back to check on us” that’s when she went by one of the waiters and explained that there wasn’t a waiter assigned to our table the waiter said out loud “i guess I’ll just take them” not only was this unprofessional but who is training these people?? It definitely made my mother and I feel unnoticed and unimportant as guests of the restaurant. It was almost 10:00 when our food arrived, and although the food was delicious the service that we had received already just took our mood to another level. I hope you guys try to acknowledge all of your guests and give them better experiences than this because we will definitely not be back, and we will definitely not be recommending this restaurant to anyone we know. No need for a reply either I just want people to know what kind of experience we had there because it is an honest one.

    I went here today for my 1st time. It is my birthday. I have had a very bad experience. The waiter was horrible (James) he ignored us( he looked at us and walked the other way). My food came out cold and items were missing. I had to ask another waitress for help. She got the manager and he put me another order in. I only ordered fried food and it still took 25 more minutes. The own made the statement that they we’re pretty busy. Yet there several meaning many tables open. I do not recommend this restaurant . The atmosphere was ok. I order the Seafood Platter.

    Atmosphere was great. Service was great. Portions of the meal were a little less than expected but tasty. Our waiter was a little too attentive at times, I guess because it seemed to be a slow night. But more attentive is better than not enough. Our host was very nice. She took pictures of the wife and myself. I will be returning.

    My wife and I celebrated our 10th year anniversary at this establishment. I bought a ring for my wife bc I wanted to surprise her. I walked in and was greeted by Nicole AND told her what I I would like to do. I gave her the ring, she gave it to one of her employees by the name of Ray and they presented it at the table to my wife; and the presentation was outstanding. Thank you, Nicole, Bree and Ray for making our 10th year anniversary extremely memorable and special0!

    Had our company holiday party here and we're pleasantly surprised when our first visit was very good. Surf and turf was prepared perfectly, appetizers were tasty as well. Blueberry mojitos were also a nice cocktail. Large parking lot, very nice holiday decorations.

    Kevin and Anna were very attentive waiters for my graduation celebration. The salmon and lobster mac and cheese were exceptional. I also had a chocolate martini that tasted very delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant and me and my family will be returning soon.

    One of my worst dining experience, family and I celebrating two birthdays me turning 69 and the other person turning 50. The waiter was less than attentive. Some of our party was late arriving and most of us was served cold meals and after serving the meals the waiter disappeared, never addressing the table or even replenishing our water glass. We only received one initial glass of water during the entire dinner. However, he did acknowledge it was a birthday celebration at the end of the meal and we did receive 4 complimentary desserts for 12 people to share. It did not make up for poor service, cold meals and a waiter who was rude. It is my belief that with party of this size he was aware that he would receive an automatic tip without providing good service.

    One of our favorite steak spots to eat. This time I had salmon and it was very good. Our favorite is the creamed spinach. The best we've had at high end steak houses.

  • 4/5 rami a. 2 years ago on Google
    Looks like a fancy restaurant. The service is excellent and the staff arr highly trained. The restaurant layout in mixed between simple and sofisticated.. makes u feel comfortable. There was live music from the 70s and 80,. The cheese was good but the menue said "selection of three meets" but all the meat was pork... I ordered the Yellow Tuna at Medium cook according to the watress recommendation. It was amazing and cooked with alot of details. Highly recommended place but expect to pay high ticket.

    One of those places you wanna go back again. Food and service was great! The only reason l'm not giving it a 5 is because l would've appreciated some good music. Great selection of wines.
