    OK, excellent food all around, and for the price it should be. We started with short rib beignets with a thick au jus. Flaky shell around tender beef and an intensely flavored sauce. Yum yum. Wife got the scallops and they were tender, buttery and perfectly cooked. I would expect more than 3 scallops for 45 bucks. I got the steak frites. Big portion of fries cooked in beef fat, seasoned well (we shared). Steak came with au poivre, plenty of it, tender and rich. The sauce was excellent. Service was perfect, never wanted for a refill. The market price for steaks is over a $100 for every cut, upwards of $175. I can afford it, but I ain't paying it.

    The 55 day dry aged ribeye was just so delicious! I loved everything about it ... the presentation and the taste were both 10/10! It was very sharable :) We also had to order a side of fries (a must with the steak) and they were extra crispy. Lastly, we switched things up with the duck breast entree. I loved the crispy caramelized skin. It was tender and hearty. Overall, I feel like this place is not talked about enough! I'll definitely be coming back.

    Finally got to visit here for dinner and I absolutely loved everything here! The services was so friendly from front desk to waiter and bartender, everyone greeted us with politeness and efficiency. The restaurant itself has a bit of a vintage vibe but modern at thr bar area and a bar to displace the steaks at the front of the restaurant. We tried a couple of drinks and both were delicious. We got the escargots which was so flavorful especially when paired with garlic toast. The Hamachi had a hint citrus and refreshing. The dry aged strips was so soft and tender, perfectly season with three different choices od sauce to pick from. Everything was top tier and exceeded our expectations!

    Excellent meatery! If you're a fan of meat, this is definitely a place to check out! Sat at the bar and enjoyed seeing the plates piled high with delicious concoctions leaving the kitchen. Service was super professional and friendly. Well-crafted wine list. For some of the more unique options, I definitely recommend the carrots & beets appetizer, as well as the short rib beignets!

    This is a long overdue review as we dined here on New Year's Eve. 3 of us had an amazing meal here for nye. Our server was fantastic. Very helpful and friendly. The room is small and cozy, with the right amount of lighting. I don't enjoy when a restaurant is way too dark, this restaurant didn't have that issue. We each had a cup of French onion soup that was extra super flavorful. The short rib beignets are a must get every single time. Oysters were great. Hamachi crudo was tasty. The 3 of us split an aged porterhouse that comes out pre sliced and perfect, amazing fries as well. We also had the scallops, which were much smaller than what I expected, those were okay. The ceci bean cavatelli was interesting, I probably wouldn't get this again. They had a special chocolate cake for nye and it was quite possibly the worst chocolate cake we'd ever had and I was sad we didn't get the sundae. the cake was so dry, hard, and cold, crazy they even let this leave the kitchen. But since it's a special for nye, hopefully they don't bring this back lol everything else was really good though! Easy street parking outside.

    tl;dr soft juicy aged steaks, good service, but mediocre ambiance. Came to Boeufhaus with my family since my dad was craving some nice aged steaks. Initial impressions was that the place was not like traditional fine dining restaurants. Seating was very tight, tables and chairs felt a little cheap. We were seated right by the entrance which wasn't an issue by itself. However, the area was very dimly lit and the to go meat case was very bright which made the menus very hard to see. Food wise, we ordered the cavatelli and shrimp cocktail to start. The shrimp were huge and very fresh. Cocktail sauce was on the sweeter side which my mom really liked. Cavatelli had good flavor and was a nice segway to the steaks. I got the porterhaus for myself. The steak comes precut and cook perfectly medium rare. Meat itself was very soft and tender but lacked a little flavor, the sauces did make up for it a little. Highly recommend the butter and the peppercorn sauce. Looking back, a 34 ounce just for myself was a little ambitious. I am proud to say I ate every last piece of meat on the bones but there was a point where it was no longer enjoyable. Overall, the steaks were good, but was it really $160 good? Probably not. Personally I expect close to perfection at that price point but I felt there were areas where the overall dining experience could have been a bit better here and there, such as the general atmosphere and selected furniture to the steak itself.

    They use really nice sauces

    Amazing! Steak, Lobster, Salad, and three glasses of wine and desert for two for $309. The team works great together; seating is pretty close, overall we had a great time.

    Solo at the bar from out-of-town. Ribeye was perfect. Tender, lovely char, excellent ratio of fat to muscle, salty, peppery, with temp just to my liking. Bartender was friendly, efficient with a few helpful thoughts. Atmosphere was convivial and neighborhood friendly without the obnoxiousness of the me/here/now tables all around downtown. So glad I cabbed it out here - will recommend and return.

    Boeufhaus is not your typical tourist steakhouse. Most of the diners didn't have that tourist look lol. It's a very cozy place with a much nicer and relaxed vibe than most other steakhouses. If you like steak you will not be disappointed. Dry-aged and cooked to delicious perfection. The lobster thermador, while not a completely tradional preparation, also was excellent. Cocktails were fantastic too. Our server was awesome. He even gave us the recipes for one of the cocktails. Would definitely come back again

    Chill, unpretentious spot tucked off busy Western Ave in Ukrainian Village. Service was relaxed and friendly. Enjoyed fresh East Coast oysters, rich escargot, and a perfectly cooked Bavette steak. Came for my birthday and was surprised with a delicious house-made strawberry gelato. Great food, great vibe--will be back.

    If you want a break from the traditional River North / Gold Coast steakhouses, then make make your way to Boeufhaus. They have something different without having to forego a high quality steak. The atmosphere is more of your typical Chicago neighborhood restaurant. Long and narrow with an amazing bar. The tables are close but did not prevent us from having a comfortable time. The food was amazing. My wife started with an excellent French onion soup which she said was very good. I skipped the app and went straight for the 55 day dry aged bone-in ribeye which was exceptional and rivaled any of the more famous steakhouses in the city. Perfectly cooked to medium rare and a wonderful earthy taste that comes with that level of aging. My wife chose the duck and raved about its flavor. We ended our meal with the sundae. It was fine but not stellar. Overall an over-the-top meal and will definitely be back!

    I never heard of this place, and decided to try it on a whim with my gf. We were in the area and felt like a good dinner. Walked in on a Thursday night; we had no reservation, but lucked out by getting the last open table at 730ish. The place is small, and there isn't much space between the few tables they have. But once we were seated, everything was a win. Tried the short rib beignets for an appetizer. Interesting sweet/savory mix; I dug it. For the main course, I went with the NY strip, fries and mushrooms. Every bite was excellent and nothing survived. That said, my gf had the lamb and she thought it was just ok. It was a large piece of meat but she didn't quite dig the flavor. We were too full for dessert, but did try several drinks. Do yourself a favor and try the Surfer on Acid.... It was incredible. My gf had the Healthy Option and that was really good too. The only drag for me is the proximity to other patrons. I don't like being super close to strangers when I'm dropping serious coin to dine. The characters at the table next to us were audible so I heard EVERYTHING discussed. So if you're looking for a super intimate evening, keep this in mind.

    Would recommend, but not my favorite steakhouse. Service was fantastic. Carrot side was delicious, beef beignets were delicious. The steak itself, in this case the bone in ribeye was a good size to split between two or even three people, depending on the number of sides you order. Fries were also yummy. I wanted to love the turnips, but they just weren't flavorful enough and while the apple cream was delicious there wasn't enough overall flavor. The chef cake was a little mad, but the lemon curd with it was terrific. Very expensive, but not unexpected for a Chicago steakhouse. Not intimate and quaint, better if you like a slightly louder environment, though not crowded, just a smaller space.

    See all

    Is the 22% service fee a gratuity for the staff or is a gratuity expected on top of the 22% service charge?

    Hello, the 22% service fee is distributed among our hourly team members and no additional gratuity is necessary. Should guests wish to do so, any additional gratuities go entirely to the front of the house team that serves you.

    Where can I find the supper club menu?

    Instagram or Facebook

    Do they cocktail onions?

    They have a full bar and several house cocktails.

    Is this place open now?

    yes

    Can I just walk in for lunch or is a reservation really needed? Just for myself no guest. Yes lame it sounds lol

    Just walk on in. There's usually plenty of seats at the bar for lunch.

It was no wonder when we arrived that there was a line out the door. We waited around 45 minutes, and the bouncer was a really nice fellow who kept track of the numbers and people at the door. Upon entering, we were immersed in a dimly lit retro-style lounge. It was quite loud inside and packed as we walked to our seats. The server was great at taking our orders and offering suggestions. I opted for the French 75, which featured sparkling wine and mixed gin, brandies, and citrus. The drink was delicious, but STRONG. I don't know what they put in the cocktails in America, but I am always finished after one drink. Needless to say, we were all struggling to finish our own drinks. My favourite touch was the coasters, I ended up keeping all of them so that I can reuse them at my galentines event next year. The 'bisous' with the kiss on the other side is a perfect touch! I think the drinks are fairly priced for USD. I would love to return someday to try other drinks and bar bites, and also try their sister bar, Sparrow.

Imagine my shock when we didn't even make it past the bouncer because he was so rude, AS OTHER RECENT REVIEWS HAVE MENTIONED AS WELL! We had dinner nearby and walked to Bisous after, and saw there was a line of 5 or 6 people outside. We expected this as we knew Bisous is a first come, first serve bar. We were curious what the wait time would look like, so we approached the front door to ask a host or employee inside (we assumed there'd be a desk with an employee working it who could give us a wait time). We had no problem waiting, just wanted to see how long they estimated it would be! Before we could even fully open the door, the bouncer swung the door open from the other side and hit me with the door. I stumbled back a few steps and he looked at us and said, and I quote, "What do you want?". I laughed at first because I thought he was joking and putting on a tough guy act. He was not. We quickly explained we just wanted to see what the wait time was, and he said "don't you see there's a line outside?" We said yes, and explained we just wanted to know a rough estimated wait time. He just blankly stared at us while ushering us out. Both my boyfriend and I have worked in customer-service roles for a very, very long time. This encounter was not only extremely rude and unprofessional, but he also hit me hard enough with the door to send me stumbling back, and then said nothing about it and continued to address us in a tone that was nothing less than annoyed and irritated. We didn't end up going inside because that encounter left such a bad taste in our mouths. I don't believe in spending my money at establishments that don't treat their customers with the bare minimum respect they deserve! Bummed we didn't get to experience it, as I'm sure it was lovely inside and I can only hope the rest of the employees were much more kind and accommodating, or at least able to answer a simple question. Fire your "bouncer" (??) and hire someone with some basic customer service and communication skills!!

Perhaps they should advertise "Monday Metal at Mistral" if that is to be a regular thing. It does flow off the tongue. To be fair, there was a full house and the other patrons did not seem to mind. We were not looking to feel the noize, however, and so stayed for just one cocktail. Mine was a Sazerac adjacent mix, and it was very high quality. The decor is very low light, but the vibe is pretty basic - more Paint Your Dorm Room black than Parisian Opium Den black. A bit of a missed opportunity for romance.
