Housed in a refurbished century old Victorian brownstone in the River North neighborhood, the Chicago Chop House has been serving up USDA prime selections since 1986. The menu is pricey and high end, as you are paying for an outstanding meal and exceptional service. The restaurant is reminiscent of old Chicago, what with the black and white photos and newspaper clippings that line the walls and the archaic bar that is still serving drinks from a boundless and eclectic wine list. The servers at the Chicago Chop House are knowledgeable enough to suggest excellent food and wine pairings. The superb steaks may be paired with unmatched side dishes; favorites include the creamed spinach and truffle mac' n' cheese.
