I was with my wife and her family at Adalina Prime tonight and EVERYTHING was fantastic from the ambience, the wait staff, and especially the food. Top notch all around. Such a fantastic evening! read more

Tried Adalina for our anniversary dinner. The space is beautiful and it was a warm ambiance. It was super busy for a Thursday. I had a lychee marini it was perfect. Loved the biscuits with the butter just needed salt. The oyster Rockerfella was some of the best Ive had in Chicago the pimiento cheese and bread crumbs were chefs kiss. The steak was cooked to perfection we really liked the salts they offer. I didnt care for the chimmichurri it was too mint forward. Loved the elotes and brussel sprouts. I also had an expresso martini it was delicious. They gave us a complementary ice cream dessert and that was very nice and thoughtful. I would definitely go back and recommend this place to anyone. read more

I came here to celebrate my graduation and heard many great things about this place. I had a great time, but it wasn't quite what I thought it'd be. We started with the shrimp scampi and wagyu corn dogs. The shrimp scampi was absolutely impeccable I wish I had the entire dish to myself!! The corn dogs, unfortunately, I do not recommend. They are really no different than any other mini hotdog by taste nor texture. I thought it would be some kind of hand ground wagyu shaped into a mini hotdog shape but I really couldn't tell the difference between theirs and a regular corn dog anywhere else. We also got the Caesar salad which was a great size to share however didn't have much flavor and definitely didn't taste any truffle which was listed in it. When we asked if there's any truffle in it, the server told us yes, but it's not "perceivable" ... I was very confused why they'd market an ingredient, especially truffle, that's not meant to be tasted. For entrees, The Chilean sea bass was good and all the steaks were good too. I did really love their salt library it was a great touch and made it more fun to customize. We originally ordered the chimichurri sauce which I regretted once I saw all the salts. The chimichurri sauce also was not my preference. Extremely strong on the herbs and more of a creamy sauce. Lastly, the eggplant I did not taste myself but heard it was incredible. Brussels sprouts and cacio e Pepe spinach were good sides. The mashed potatoes were not whipped in the way I thought they'd be by the description, they were a bit more thick and like regular mashed potatoes. For dessert they surprised me with a creamy treat that was strawberry and coconut which was very good and very sweet of them to do for me. I appreciated their service and the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous and we loved being able to see into the kitchen. However, it just wasn't what I hoped for. read more

Adalina Prime is what I'd expect from a steakhouse in the West Loop. You can tell they invested a lot in their decor. The inside has a lot of dark oak and they have ample seating. They have cloth that drapes from the ceiling in certain parts of the restaurant. It's reminiscent of Sophia Steak Chicago in the River North area. My group originally visited to check out the happy hour so we grabbed a reservation. We discovered the happy hour specials are limited to the bar and lounge area, not out of the norm. I was able to take advantage of the happy hour specials as my group waited for our remaining person to arrive. Note, they sit you once everyone arrives. I ordered the hibiscus spritz and a bourbon peach smash. The hibiscus spritz wasn't memorable but the bourbon smash was delicious. The peach and lemon flavors masked the bourbon taste without making it too sweet. I could see myself making this drink at home or coming back if I find myself in the area. My group was far back along the wall so it felt cozier because we didn't have a ton of tables surrounding us. Our waitress was extremely friendly and you can tell she knew the ins and outs of the menu along with the restaurant in general. Sometimes she got carried away wanting to tell us the history of something when we just wanted confirmation on if we could get a certain dish that wasn't on the menu. I wasn't feeling like a steak so I opted for the roasted chicken with a side of cheesy elote. Just a note, there's two items on the menu that are notated as taking 30 / 40 mins to cook so if you're interested in those dishes I would order earlier into your sitting down so you don't wait longer than planned. All of the dishes were beautifully plated except my chicken. When I tell you they invest in plating it's to the point they carve the butter into the face of a cow. I guess there's only so much you can do with a few pieces of chicken and mushrooms. For the price ($39) of my dish I was expecting there to be a little more chicken. It was four little pieces of chicken. I was surprised by the lack of effort they put into my dish. The mushrooms were flavorful and savory but my chicken was extremely bland. The chicken was juicy but it tasted like nothing. I've had many roasted chickens at steakhouses and they will make sure non-steak items are equally delicious. Overall, I was left underwhelmed. Everything is priced on the higher end, side of truffle fries are $30, so I expected better quality food. I cannot see myself coming back unless I'm in the area and want to grab a drink during happy hour. read more

I enjoyed a lovely dinner here this week with my daughter. We were celebrating the purchase of her first home, so we wanted something special. Adalina Prime was her choice, and it fit the bill perfectly. We began with cocktails (Golden Hour was amazing!), and our server brought champagne to help us celebrate. We decided to share a wedge salad (would've been huge for one person) and a filet. Then for our sides, we chose the Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious! This restaurant is beautifully decorated, with an old-school steakhouse vibe. Service was excellent. Will definitely visit again!! read more

Dinner absolutely lived up to the hype, and then some. I took my Chicago team out after hearing great things about this new spot, and it delivered a completely different take on the traditional steakhouse experience. From the moment you walk in, you can tell this isn't your typical old-school steakhouse. The space is stunning, beautiful arched ceilings, trees incorporated into the design, and a bar that feels more like a high-end lounge. The vibe leans modern and upscale with a subtle club energy, complete with music that adds just the right amount of edge without overpowering the experience. The menu is creative and fun, and the wine list is just as impressive. The sommelier was incredibly knowledgeable and helped guide us to some outstanding Napa reds that paired perfectly with everything we ordered. We started with the cheddar scallion biscuits (a must), fresh oysters, and a standout scallop dish presented escargot-style, unique and absolutely delicious. For the main event, we split two steaks: the Stone Axe wagyu and the Senku steak. Both were excellent, cooked perfectly, and packed with flavor. On the side, the whipped potatoes and Brussels sprouts were the kind of dishes you don't stop thinking about after the meal. Of course, we couldn't skip dessert, so we didn't. The coconut cake and chocolate raspberry cake were both fantastic and the perfect way to wrap up the night. The service was polished, attentive, and exactly what you expect at this level, professional without feeling stiff. All in all, this is a place that gets it right across the board: atmosphere, food, wine, and service. I'll absolutely be back, next time specifically to try the WTF (wagyu, truffle, foie). I mean... how do you not? read more

When West Loop finally gets a true glitz-and-glam steakhouse, Adalina Prime steps in with serious ambition. This concept comes from the same team behind Adalina, which has long been a dependable upscale Italian spot on the Gold Coast. If you've been there before, you'll recognize the DNA immediately: luxurious but not stuffy, polished service, and a dining experience meant for celebrations. What's different here is the scale. Adalina Prime feels bigger, louder, and more theatrical. West Loop--particularly the Randolph corridor--has plenty of excellent restaurants, but it hasn't historically been known for grand, opulent steakhouses. Most of the classic steakhouse scene lives in River North or the Gold Coast. Adalina Prime changes that dynamic. You pull up and immediately see valet activity, step into a massive dining room with soaring ceilings and dramatic décor, and realize this place is designed to feel like an event. From hosts to bussers to managers checking in, the service infrastructure is clearly built for that experience. It's the kind of restaurant you choose for a celebration, a big night out, or when you want a little extra polish in your evening. Service * Extremely polished and attentive staff throughout the evening * Multiple layers of service--from hosts to bussers to managers checking in * Professional pacing and thoughtful menu explanations * Hospitality feels intentional and well coordinated Drinks The cocktail program is genuinely strong. * Golden Hour - one of the better tropical-style cocktails I've had in Chicago; lighter than a piña colada with a bright citrus twist * Espresso Martini - classic and balanced * NA Spritz - surprisingly well executed for a non-alcoholic option Bread & Small Bites The menu structure has a unique twist. Instead of a complimentary amuse-bouche, they offer "Amuse Yourself," where you choose a luxury bite-sized starter. * WTF Wagyu (wagyu, foie gras, truffle) - delicious, but at $14 for a tiny bite it's hard to justify purely on value * Cheddar Scallion Biscuits - excellent; served with a rich herbaceous butter and presented with a playful cow-shaped motif There's also a fun off-menu item: the Soo-Per Size Me chicken nuggets (normally paired with their caviar service but available separately). At $15 they're pricey, but genuinely excellent--crispy, juicy, and refined enough to feel intentional rather than gimmicky. Starter * Baked Scallop-Cargot - their spin on escargot, swapping snails for delicate scallops in garlic butter. Rich, flavorful, and one of the stronger dishes of the night. Mains This is where the experience became more mixed. * Burger - good, but not memorable * Lobster Cheesy Corn - a solid, indulgent side And then the steak. Adalina Prime offers an extensive steak program--American cuts, Australian wagyu, Japanese wagyu, dry-aged beef, tomahawks, and more. I ordered the Crown Cut ribeye, essentially the most marbled center section of the ribeye. As someone who considers themselves a bit of a steak--and especially ribeye--aficionado, this is the type of cut I get excited about. Unfortunately, it didn't quite deliver. The exterior leaned heavily charred rather than beautifully caramelized, and the interior lacked the buttery marbling and melt-in-your-mouth richness you expect from a great ribeye. One thing that stands out here is the sheer amount of ways they offer to dress up the steak: sauces, toppings, and even a full salt bar. Those are fun options, but when a steak is truly exceptional, it shouldn't need any of that. The steak itself should be the star--and on this visit, it simply wasn't at the level the restaurant is aiming for. Dessert * Strawberry Cake (to-go) - essentially a strawberry shortcake/birthday cake hybrid with excellent buttercream. A strong finish. Verdict Adalina Prime gets many things right: the room is stunning, the service is impeccable, the cocktails are excellent, and it brings a level of steakhouse glamour to West Loop that the neighborhood hasn't really had before. But when a restaurant positions itself as a high-end steakhouse, the steak ultimately has to be the highlight. On this visit, that piece didn't quite land. Because of that, what could have been a five-star experience lands closer to 3.5 stars. I'm rounding up to four because everything else--from hospitality to drinks to atmosphere--was very good. If they refine the steak execution, Adalina Prime could easily become one of the neighborhood's standout destinations. read more

I'm so sad that this didn't meet our expectations. First of all, the interior is breathtaking. I loved it and it's very open. I did expect that maybe the table clothes be steamed. The service was ok. The busboy boxed food before we were done but it's fine. The main dishes were good. The eggplant parm was crispy and the marinara tasted fresh. The steak was decent and I liked the array of salts they present. The sides were such a disappointment, and really the reason for 3 instead of 4 stars. The Cesar made me feel a little sick and I wasn't a fan of the croutons. The Mac n cheese is horrible. The pasta used is a gnocchi type and it's so difficult to chew and honestly a choking hazard. The corn had basic mozzerella on top and the corn tasted canned. The lobster inside was decent. read more

My husband surprised me with a beautiful birthday dinner at Adalina Prime on a Saturday night, and it set the bar for a celebratory evening! The décor and ambiance are show-stopping. Very polished and swanky in a way that fits the West Loop energy while still managing to stand apart. It feels elevated, intentional and perfect for marking a special moment. We started with the Brussels sprouts, which were, quite honestly, the most delicious I've ever had. The flavors were dynamic and layered. For mains, we ordered the ribeye, Chilean sea bass and cacio e pepe spinach and I appreciated that each dish was executed with care and has a richness that made the meal feel indulgent without being overwhelming. To top it off, the team kindly surprised me with strawberry coconut ice cream for my birthday. It was exceptional and easily one of the best desserts I've had. Make no mistake, this is a pricey experience. That said, it's perfectly suited for a special occasion or your polished business dinner where atmosphere, service and execution matter. read more

3 stars for the service and atmosphere of the restaurant. One star for the quality of the food. Sadly, our party of 7 were so excited to try this restaurant giving it's new and a sister restaurant of adalina. However, th food was way overpriced, average in quality, and gave me food poisoning. Shortly after I finished our appetizers and some of the seafood tower, I had to go to the bathroom and had diarrhea. Since we all shared the same appetizers, the only thing I could think of the cause this was the oysters or lobster tail that I had which is individually served. The beef tartare was way too salty and the whole table did not appreciate. The cheese cracker that came with was not tasty. My sea bass was nothing special and I was not impressed. On the brighter note, the services was great our waiter was quick to assist and attentive. read more

Make a reservation when coming here. The temperature can be 10 degrees and this is full!! The restaurant is on the ground floor of the Boston Consulting Group Building, but when you walk in, you feel like you're in a palace! Ceilings are high and beautiful, decor is modern, and there are plenty of seats. Our server, Stephen, was helpful and made some great recommendations. We started with the Heirloom Tomato salad and Hamachi Crudo. Flavors were beautiful, and the presentation was gorgeous!! We ordered the Bone In Ribeye and split it between two. When it's served, you can select from their salts to pair with your steak. The staff serves you the food on your plate, which is wonderful to have done at a steakhouse. Dessert was also delicious, both our selections were great, but the Apple Crumble Pie with the cube of ice cream was the favorite. The caliber here with the quality of food and service sets the bar high and matches the Chicago Steakhouse reputation! It has steakhouse pricing, but the quality of food and service both match the value. Highly enjoyable and I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

I stopped in for the Power Lunch at Adalina Prime and was genuinely impressed from start to finish. I went with the Caesar salad, the Prime Burger, and the chocolate chip cookies, and every single bite was delicious. You can tell they're putting real care into the menu. The hostess was incredibly warm and seated us in the atrium. Even though it was freezing outside, the space stayed perfectly cozy. I can already tell this spot is going to be stunning in the summertime with those wraparound windows letting all the light in. The vibe is sexy, sultry, and thoughtfully designed. If Adalina Italian is known for its pink theme, Adalina Prime's rich green palette gives it a regal, elevated feel that really sets the tone. I'll absolutely be back for dinner, drinks, and whatever else I feel like indulging in. This was a fantastic dining experience, and I'm excited to see this place shine even more as the seasons change. read more

This new steakhouse is worth a visit. It's so vibey! Great for dinner and drinks! The steaks are so gd good!! One thing I'll pass on is tteobokki mac and cheese. Good try on fusion but not really a great side dish for steak. The chicken nugget caviar is also wonderful. The service is top tier. It's a fun spot. All in all great steakhouse. read more

Came here with a group of 6 on a Friday night (with a reservation) and was seated promptly. They do have happy hour at the bar only until 6 so if you're waiting on your group to arrive, can grab a discounted cocktail! Our food overall was delicious. Highly recommend the bread tower, Mac n cheese and Brussels sprouts. The crown steak was good too however they overcooked mine (I asked for medium rare and it came out medium well/well done) so that was the only downside of the meal. The server was super nice about it and agreed it wasn't medium rare. The tray of salts they bring out with the steaks is a nice and fun touch. We got a bunch of desserts and the apple pie was probably the groups favorite. The ambiance inside is incredible. The decor is just stunning with the trees and everything. Even the bathroom had amazing style and was giving Harry Potter chamber of secrets vibe! Definitely check it out. read more

A steakhouse should make great steak- but adalina didn't deliver. Don't get me wrong- the setting was beautiful, the servers top-notch. Every dish BUT the steak was five stars. The Martini service for $22 was amazing- gave me a chilled glass mid drink so my martini stayed ice cold! Cheddar scallion biscuits, chicken nugget with caviar and wedge salad were amazing and could have been my complete dinner. The bone in rib eye was cold, tasteless and had no sizzle; couldn't even smell it! Come for the vibes not for the steak. Maybe get the burger? read more

Updated 11/8/25 After a disappointing first visit to Adalina Prime, the GM, Neal Sage, invited us back to give them another try and experience the level of dining they're known for. After a few delayed emails from Neal, we finally confirmed a return visit for 11/7/25, which happened to be my birthday weekend. I flew in from Seattle to celebrate and was hopeful for a better experience. Unfortunately, not to my surprise, our reservation wasn't in the system when we arrived. Thankfully, the hostess handled it quickly and seated us right away. I asked for the manager since this was supposed to be a "recovery" dinner, and Alex (the server assistant) promptly introduced us to Mark, a very well-dressed and professional manager who assured us he'd make sure everything went smoothly--and he absolutely delivered. What followed was easily one of our best dinners in Chicago. We started with the Clam Chowder and Tomato Soup, both piping hot and full of flavor, plus the Baked Scallop-Cargot and LOL--all fantastic. For mains, we had the City Filet and NY Strip, cooked perfectly and elevated by the fun variety of finishing salts (highly recommend the Red Wine and Smoked Bourbon salts suggested by our amazing server, Ashley). Our sides of Creamed Spinach and Mashed Potatoes were also divine. We finished with the Strawberry Cake, which was heavenly--especially paired with a glass of 20-Year Tawny Port. Throughout the night, Ashley was warm, attentive, and on point, while Mark checked in regularly to make sure we were happy. To top it off, Mark surprised me with their Booze Caboose to celebrate my birthday--a perfect ending to the evening. Huge thank you to Mark, Ashley, and Alex for turning things around and reminding us why Adalina Prime stands out. From the food to the service, everything was exceptional this time. We'll definitely be back! read more

Came here for some light bites last week, and I will definitely be back! The ambiance in here is the show stopper.... industrial-feeling but new building, the ceiling height is magnificent. Your eyes immediately start gazing at the beauty of the place as soon as you walk in. So much to look at and admire, including the sparkling West Loop at night. We split a bottle of wine so didn't get to try any of the cocktails, but loved that we were offered a couple to taste before we chose a bottle. For bites we had the Tiger Bread, Waygu Tartare, and the Shrimp Cocktail. All were excellent! I will say the tiger bread was a bit tough, but the chili butter it came with was excellent. Overall I need to come back to try more things, but so far my expectations were met! read more

Adalina Prime - Tiger Bread, Wagyu Tartare and Shrimp Cocktail- excellent! - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

This is a relatively new restaurant and you can tell they are still finding their bearings and paying attention to feedback. The waygu filet was just ok. I rather have had a ribeye, but they did not have. The best thing was the Brussels sprouts. They are delicious and stayed crispy. The mashed potato's were really good as well. The wedge salad was supposed to a dressing on it, but you could barely taste it. I would skip the wedge and try the Caesar instead. It looked delicious. The east coast oysters were pretty good and the toppings were good. The chicken nugget caviar you may want to skip. It's $22 for one nugget and not really worth it. I'd also skip the onion petals. They weren't bad, but not worth the price. The drinks were decent. If you like fat infused drinks then the marrow and ember is a good choice. I would not get the full bread tower. Maybe just get the cheddar biscuits. They were tasty and hard to mess up. The others are decent? But like many things on the menu, it's just elevated basic restaurant food. Our server was attentive and thoughtful. He walked us through the menu and made suggestions. He checked in with us often and took care of us. The space is absolutely amazing. Such rich texture and beautiful colors. You can do some cool people watching because there are so many different people who come in looking absolutely gorgeous. The did provide me with ice cream for my birthday. We did not order dessert. Just be mind that this is a new restaurant and they are still working on some of the kinks, but I would be open to try them again. read more

Adalina Prime has been on my radar ever since it opened. My boyfriend and I finally had the chance to visit during Valentine's Day weekend. Based off of first impressions, this is easily one of the most gorgeous restaurants in Chicago. The ambiance is so luxe and it is perfect for a special occasions or a date night. We first ordered drinks. My boyfriend and I were in the mood for mocktails so we ordered the only two that were on the cocktail menu. We would've liked see more options, but the two that we had were very tasty. I ordered the Almond Citrus Fizz which was definitely more almond-forward than citrus-forward but still very good. My boyfriend ordered the N/A Spritz which was light and fruity. Then we got to the food. Every bite I had was delicious and impressive. We started with a single chicken nugget with kaluga caviar and crème fraîche. The chicken nugget was very tasty and resembled a fancy McDonald's chicken nugget. It was $22 though which is kind of steep for one bite. But if you can afford it, it is a very fun bite nonetheless. Then we had the Cheddar Scallion Biscuits, which were like leveled-up Red Lobster biscuits (in a good way). It was paired with a spicy butter that complemented the cheddar flavor nicely. We also had the Wagyu Corn Dog, which came with a really yummy honey mustard. The corn dogs were tasty and made fresh, but didn't taste like anything super unique. They just tasted like really good corn dogs. That being said, if I had to pass on one item on my next visit, I'd say skip these. (But I still enjoyed them.) We order an off-menu crab cake which was also quite tasty. Then we got to our main course. My boyfriend and I shared the 45-Day Dry-Aged Bone-In Ribeye. With all the starters we ordered plus side of Brussels Sprouts, this was definitely enough food for two hungry people. I pride myself on being a bit of a steak aficionado and while this was not the best steak I've had in Chicago, it was a very solid steak. It was cooked to Medium Rare perfection and had a nice crusty char around the edges. The Brussels Sprouts were also quite nice and had a nice sweet kick. They were crispy and flavorful and everything I would want in a side dish. Lastly, there's dessert. We shared the Chocolate Raspberry Cake which was very good but not phenomenal. Truthfully I was not super impressed by the dessert menu. Seeing that Adalina Prime's sister restaurant is an Italian restaurant, I would've liked to see this reflected in the dessert menu with a tiramisu or something. The cherry on top of my visit was the service. Our waiter was so helpful and attentive. My water glass was always filled and our table was very efficiently cleared between each course. We were also offered complimentary champagne and Strawberry and Coconut twist soft serve ice cream (which BTW is also very tasty). Overall, I am very impressed with Adalina Prime and will be yapping about this to all my friends. I will be back for sure. read more

This is the new hot spot in Chicago. We visited on a Tuesday evening, and it was completely full. Without a reservation, I doubt you would be able to get a seat. I had a reservation for our party of ten people at 6:30 PM. ​We decided to order family-style so that we could try everything. We started with all three of the "amuse yourself" selections (LOL, WTF, OMG), two types of salad (Wedge and Caesar), cheddar scallion biscuits, the tomahawk steak, ribeye with fresh fries, and sides including spinach, mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts. ​Everything was prepared perfectly, and the overall experience was fantastic! I look forward to coming again. read more

I was really excited to try this restaurant since it's new and I'd heard great things, but I was overall very disappointed. The experience was mid at best. Our server was nice, but the drink pacing was off and we were without them multiple times. The food was also underwhelming. We ordered scallops that never came, and the steak while a great cut was overcooked. Overall, we were consistently left wanting more. For what we spent, it was a letdown. I can say an experience like this would never happen at Gibsons or Maple & Ash. read more

Go for the ambiance. It's was a very nice inside and the service was great but the food was just mediocre. We had the wagu corn dogs and they were actually tough. Fun idea even though that seemed like an odd menu item. 2 of us got steaks and they weren't cooked right at all. Mine was definitely over cooked. And then I guess they don't salt your steak because they offer like a "salt service" which I guess some people like but I just like regular salt & I don't want to have to do it myself because it seems odd salting my steak. read more

I wanted to like this place- but as soon as we got to the host stand last night we noticed how hot and stuffy it was. Unfortunately it was not any better once you were inside the restaurant. I think they are going for an indoor-outdoor vibe, which is ok during maybe spring and fall, but with it being well over 80 and humid yesterday, that vibe doesn't work. No one wants to eat heavy steakhouse food when it's that hot inside a restaurant. Hopefully they will fix this by the time prime summer comes, but I'm unsure if I would return to find out. read more

I recently dined at Adalina Prime with colleagues to celebrate a coworker's promotion. Having heard very positive reviews, we intentionally chose your restaurant as a memorable venue for what was meant to be a special occasion. The evening began on a strong note. We arrived early, were seated promptly, and thoroughly enjoyed our appetizers, including the wagyu tartare, octopus carpaccio, and cheddar scallion biscuits. Unfortunately, the experience declined significantly once our entrées were served. Our table ordered three 9 oz crown-cut filets, one bone-in filet, and one bone-in ribeye. Only one steak arrived hot; the remaining steaks were lukewarm. Additionally, my filet--ordered medium rare--was seared on the outside but undercooked internally. Our server, who was attentive and professional throughout the evening, promptly took the steak back to the kitchen. However, rather than preparing a new steak, the kitchen returned the original steak after re-cooking the portions that had already been cut. The result was an overworked steak that was both unappealing in texture and taste, and ultimately inedible. Given Adalina Prime's reputation and pricing, we were surprised that a replacement steak was not prepared, particularly considering both quality expectations and basic food-handling concerns. Unfortunately, the issues extended beyond the entrées. Most of the sides arrived lukewarm to cold. The mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts were barely warm, and the sweet corn with lobster was cold enough that the melted cheese had congealed. A manager did visit our table and offered to replace the sides; however, by that point, the overall experience had become frustrating, and we declined simply wanting to conclude the evening. The manager did not return afterward, despite making eye contact several times, and we would have appreciated a follow-up or acknowledgment. I do want to note that our server handled the situation with professionalism and empathy, consistently checking in and apologizing for the issues. We were ultimately credited for my steak and the sides, which we appreciated, but it did not offset the disappointment of the overall experience. We had planned this dinner for months as a meaningful celebration, and unfortunately, it fell far short of expectations. While the ambiance and energy of the restaurant are excellent, the execution of the food was not reflective of a premium steakhouse. This was the first visit to Adalina Prime for all five of us, and regrettably, it will be our last. Given Chicago's many outstanding and reliable steakhouses, we will be hosting a "redo" celebration for our colleague elsewhere. We genuinely wanted to love Adalina Prime and hope this feedback is taken constructively, as the restaurant clearly has the potential to deliver an experience that matches its reputation. read more

Went to celebrate my friend's birthday here. The service was excellent and they were very attentive. Food was tasty and we were overall happy with everything. Some of the group's favorite was the ceviche mixto, tomahawk, lobster cheesy corn, brussel sprouts, and oyster mushrooms. They gave the birthday girl free dessert and it was phenomenal. Ambiance was beautiful. The only thing that we didn't like was that sitting in the back, the employees were in and out of this door and the cold wind would hit us throughout the night which was uncomfortable. But we still had a great time and had a memorable experience! read more

Adalina Prime in Chicago's West Loop has made a serious leap since that first month after opening. I liked the concept from the jump, but this recent dinner felt like the restaurant has fully found its footing. The improvement is obvious. Everything felt sharper, more polished, more confident, and the meal was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We started with the cheddar biscuits, caviar chicken nuggets, Wagyu corn dogs, avocado ceviche, Caesar salad, and wedge salad, and every single one hit. The cheddar biscuits were ridiculous, the caviar chicken nuggets and Wagyu corn dogs were playful in the best way, and both salads were excellent, which is not always a given at a steakhouse where they can sometimes feel like an afterthought. The avocado ceviche was fresh, bright, and a great way to break up the heavier stuff. For the mains, we went big with the Australian Stone Axe Wagyu and the tomahawk, and both were outstanding. Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and exactly what you want when you're going all in on a steakhouse dinner. The sides were just as strong: lobster cheese corn, cacio e pepe creamed spinach (might have honestly stole the whole show), brussels sprouts, mashed potatoes, and mac and cheese. Not one weak link. Everything was rich, satisfying, and worth fighting over at the table. And somehow dessert kept the streak going. The coconut and strawberry soft serve was awesome, and the chocolate cake was a total closer. Just an all-around outstanding meal. Adalina Prime feels like it has really hit its stride, and the improvement since the beginning has been night and day. This was one of those dinners where you leave full, impressed, and already planning to go back. My entire group visiting from out of town was extremely impressed. Ps- their wine list is exceptional and their som was fantastic. Sassicaia for the win read more

Adalina Prime delivers a truly upscale dining experience with a beautiful, refined ambiance and exceptional service that makes you feel taken care of from start to finish. We started with the Cheddar Scallion Biscuits, which were absolutely delicious--warm, flavorful, and impossible to stop eating. The Wagyu Tartare was well-executed and rich, while the Truffled Caesar Salad was solid and satisfying without being overpowering. The Daily Ceviche Mixto stood out as refreshing and well-balanced, a great lighter option to start the meal. The only miss among the starters was the Hamachi Crudo, which unfortunately felt short on flavor and lacked the brightness or depth you'd expect at this level. For the main course, the 45-Day Dry-Aged Bone-In Ribeye was the star of the night--perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and full of deep, beefy flavor. The sides complemented it beautifully: the Whipped Potatoes were smooth and comforting, and the Oyster Mushrooms added an earthy balance that worked perfectly with the steak. The Cacio e Pepe Spinach, however, sounded much more exciting than it tasted and ended up being below average. read more

Great ambiance, views, staff vibes, and amazing mushrooms! Steak was steak. Wish desert options didnt primarily revolve around a coconut ingredient for us folks with allergens. read more

I went to Adalina Prime on Sunday night for my first time for my engagement anniversary and I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience. To start, the ambience is absolutely beautiful - the lights were dim, the decor was stunning, and the overall vibe was very welcoming but also calming. I ordered the Yuzu Grove to start which was very delicious - I typically order Lemon Drop cocktails and this was a nice, refreshing switch up for me. As an appetizer, my fiance and I settled on the Cheddar Scallion Biscuits which I'm so glad we did. In my opinion, they are similar to Red Lobster's but MUCH better. For my meal, I ordered the Roasted Tomato Soup and the Whipped Potatoes (I'm a vegetarian and just wanted something I knew I would enjoy). When I say that the tomato soup was the BEST I have ever had, I am not lying. The soup itself was absolutely delightful and it was topped with grilled cheese "croutons" which just elevated the dish entirely. The whipped potatoes were also delicious. To end our meal, our server brought us some strawberry soft serve topped with a "Happy Anniversary" chocolate which was so kind and appreciated. We were honestly blown away by how tasty the soft serve was and will definitely be ordering the next time we go. I cannot say enough great things about Adalina Prime and am already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for such an awesome first experience, Adalina! read more

Wanted to be obsessed with this place . It was good, but I'm not sure I'd go back . Highlights below - steak and sides were all top notch. We got the ribeye and strip, Brussels (so good), lobster corn, and mushrooms - service was great- borderline excessive but definitely feels like a luxury restaurant . They brought me a new cold glass for my martini to keep it cold What fell short: Every appetizer. The LOL, WTF, OMG- those are $15 a piece for a very subpar bite . Skip those for sure - ceviche was fine but I wouldn't get it again . Lacked taste /needed spice of some kind - wedge salad was also average . Wish i had gotten the Caesar Overall- I liked it and glad we went , but the prices were astronomical . Our dinner was $400 before tip for 2 people, and we got 3 martinis total. I think this would be a great place to go in a group so you can try everything. It definitely feels more aesthetic / going for the ambiance , gimics like the salt library , martini side car , etc. our waiter was lovely , and the service was great. Glad we tried it , if I when back I'd skip every appetizer and go to main and sides .The steak and sides were great . Would say similar to Gibsons or Bavettes but 50% more expensive for same value read more

Terrible experience with management. A group of friends and I stopped in around 3:00 p.m. on Sunday to have a drink and celebrate a birthday, but we were turned away by the manager, who claimed the restaurant wasn't open yet. This was confusing, as the website lists Sunday hours starting at 3:00 p.m. When we mentioned this, he responded in a snarky and dismissive manner, insisting the information was not on the website. We politely asked if we could order a bottle of wine and sit at the bar while they finished setting up. The hostess was kind and helpful, explaining that the website hours were incorrect and offering to speak with management to possibly seat us shortly. Unfortunately, the manager's attitude had already soured the experience, and we chose to leave and go elsewhere. There are many great options in Chicago, and based on this experience, I won't be returning. read more

Adalina Prime - Steakhouses Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Everything tasted good, but nothing stood out--which would be fine, if not for the price point. The caesar salad was fresh and well dressed, but tasted like every other caesar salad. I expected more flavor in the dressing from the garlic and boquerones. The oysters rockerfeller were good, but again, standard. The steak was juicy and tender, but I expected more from the cajun seasoning add-on. The salt library was fun. Maybe a little gimmicky, which describes the general vibe/issue with this restaurant. A fun place to people watch and go out, and maybe if you're a lot richer than me, it's good! I'm just not balling enough to be happy spending hundreds of dollars on a just okay meal. Maybe one day...but even then, there are many, many other chicago restaurants I'd rather spend my money at. read more

Larger restaurant than I had expected, but same modern vibey ambiance as their other location. Definitely need a reservation, its pack so far. Food was good, I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail and the sea bass the most. I would definitely go back for those two items. Good service just busy with being so packed. read more

Thank you so much for making our night so special. Second time dinning this month, the Valet even remembered us from last week, making us feel important from the moment we arrived. Icy is the sweetest (had her last week as well), making sure our evening went off without an issue and leaving our bellies full! Colin (sommelier) is awesome! Perfect bottle of wine for the perfect night. Can't wait to be back! read more
