    Half dozen oysters
    Aude O.

    We went here for a work dinner. So price was not something we had to worry about, but it is more on the expensive side. We ended up paying $100+ per head, but that included appetizers that were shared, drinks, entrees, and desserts. Service was great. Attentive but not stalking. Location was great (right across from the bean). Ambiance was exactly what you expect, posh and moody and perfect.

    First time visiting. We found it as we walked by. It was a very busy day in the city. We also made reservations but they were able to seat us earlier. We sat by the bar in a booth. The space is cozy with good themed music playing. I loved siting by the window people watching on a snowy day. Our waitress Aby B. was amazing. Very polite and full of energy. Everything she suggested was delicious. For appetizers w e had the Lobster Deviled Eggs, Sticky Pork Belly Bites, Bacon & Potato Croquettes. For our main dish we enjoyed the BBQ Ribs, Shepherds Pie, and the BBQ Salmon. There really wasn't anything we did not like. All the dishes were delicious. We are visiting and will definitely put this restaurant on our to return list

    Shrimp chowder

    I stopped by Remington's on the way home from Pilates (I was famished). Remingtons is located conveniently across the street from the Chicago Bean on Michigan Avenue. Though I reserved a booth in the main dining area, I was seated by the window in the bar area at a high boy. Not as comfortable as a booth but I had a killer view. This is St. Patrick's day weekend so the city is vibrant with people from all walks of life in town to see the river "turn" green. Now about the food. I started with a cup of shrimp chowder. A bit sweet due to the corn but still tasty. For my lunch, I ordered the Wrightwood salad and unfortunately I did not care for it. The flavors were not coming together for me at all. My waitress was super nice and asked if I wanted to exchange my meal. This time I went with her initial recommendation and ordered the filet sliders with a side of Brussels sprouts. JACKPOT! The sliders were tender and the Brussels sprouts were flavor. Both have pungent flavors, bleu cheese on the sliders and the balsamic in the brussel sprouts, was just a lot. I would order again but separately. Sorry guys, no pictures for the sliders and Brussel sprouts. I would definitely return, during warmer weather when I can sit on the patio and enjoy the city over a nice meal.

    Came to Remington for restaurant week lunch, and they actually have pretty good deal for $30. The appetiser lobster and boil egg is sooooo good, I enjoy it so much and wish I have more. For the main, I have the salmon. The chef has cooked it with care, it is moist inside. The dessert is brownie. It is good, however, I hope the ice cream is bigger. The service is great and attentive, and I will come back for other food!

    The food may look simple but the it's amazing, truly better than expected. The ambiance was great and service was on point, (thank you Arthur and Abby!). You are getting what you pay for when you come here for sure. One small complaint, I wish they had more restrooms, not just one stall for women.

    This place is awesome, perfect place for night out. It's located right next to millennium park on the east loop of Chicago. The staff are super friendly and make lots of great recommendations. Classic stake house vibes and cool ambiance. I was able to try the Mac and cheese and the French dip sandwich both of which knocked it out of the park 10/10 would recommend and have again. The Mac and cheese has the really nice breaded crust and very cheesy and creamy. The French dip sandwich has some really nice and tasty beef and comes with a rich dipping sauce. The hostess was amiss to accommodate our larger party with little notice and seated us in a nice quiet private room. Great experience.

    Wanted some place sorta up scale for our Anniversary. I put Anniversary on the reservation and once again the restaurant failed to acknowledge it. Why have it on open table if they don't even say anything. Pace of service was pretty good except when we sat with empty tea glasses. We had two people serving us and the lack of refills surprised me. The Croquettes were really good. Nice and crispy outside and soft and potato-y on the inside. Dinner was Salmon and Asparagus and Filet and Baked Potato with a shared side of Spätzle bacon n cheese. My salmon was wonderful and I had a ton of asparagus. A couple were a bit woodie and should have been cut shorter or pealed. But most were very tender. Husband said his filet was amazing and he ate every bit of his potato. Over all a very enjoyable dinner.

    Beautiful, elegant, delicious. Reasonable prices for Chicago area! $$$/$$$$ Two people splitting a literal meal: $60-70. We ordered a the french dip to split, brussels, and lobster deviled eggs. We still had brussels leftover when we were finished. Price: 9/10 Food: 9/10 Service: 9/10 We walked up to the counter on the right side inside the building to find a host. Asked and received a table outside. We even asked for a different table because of the sun; no issues! Super nice! They have indoor and patio seating, which is out by the road. The car noise is blocked off by the stairs to the parking garage downstairs. Pedestrians are blocked by plants which is super nice. High tables inside have coat hangers directly under the table. Many reservation rooms. Definitely nice for a late date night. Bathrooms are down a flight of stairs. It wasn't super busy at 12pm, an hour after they open. By the time we left, there were about 5-6 tables occupied. One thing that did bother me though was seating a table inside next to us so their feet were by our faces. Brussels were delicious, lobster deviled eggs were great, and the french dip was perfect. The french dip: meat was quite rare which was perfect in my opinion. Horseradish wasn't overpowering, and the shaved prime rib was sliced beautifully. I added a dash of salt and some black pepper in my au jus drip to get those flavors popping. Lobster deviled eggs: 8/10 - we were given the option to add another half instead of ordering two orders (6). Delicious, lobster flavor was all there, not too bland or tasting "too fake." Unfortunately some of the egg whites were less than a half from peeling. Brussels: I loved that they had square slices of bacon in the brussels instead of crumbled. I almost choked a few times from inhaling the spicy vinegar jalapeño before them even entering my mouth lol.

    I scoured the internet for a place close to my hotel to eat and was excited to come here. I was looking forward to the lobster deviled eggs and cornbread. Sadly they were out of cornbread I ordered the chicken entree and Brussels sprouts. The Brussels had way too much vinegar. I had to drain each one prior to eating. The rotisserie chicken was cold and a little bland swimming in its au jous. The potatoes were great (can't really mess that up haha) Service was solid. I was sad to see this place add a 3.5% admin fee. It's not like it's a cheap place, I spent $70 by myself with no alcoholic beverages. Was tacking on an extra $2 really necessary? Insulting to be honest. Raise your prices if you need to. It's not a good look on the bill and I'm sure some people take that out on the wait staff (not me though. Still tipped 20%) Ambiance was nice, I won't be back due to the stupid admin fee and kind of meh food. If i did return id stick to appetizers and hopefully they'll have enough cornbread

    Iron Skillet Cornbread
    Sandy Y.

    Came for a quick lunch. I would say do not get the skillet cornbread. It is essentially all egg... Like a frittata not cornbread. Took two bites and immediately put my fork down because it was not worth eating. But on the other hands, I enjoyed all three entrées that we got. The French dip, chicken dip, and shrimp Cajun fettuccine. The French dip was a bit dry, but was good. Out of the three, chicken dip was the best.

    Prime rib.

    Nice spot but a few issues. I had an 8:30 reservation and got a call in the afternoon asking if we could come in earlier as the kitchen would be closing early due to rain in the forecast. I moved it up to 8. Got a text around 7:40 advising my table was ready, so already felt rushed. With that being said, the prime rib was done nicely. The server was nice but slow to follow-up based on how slow the place was and felt like she kept pushing for a more expensive item. Maybe it was just a bad night but overall I was overwhelmed.

    Some friends and I chose this as one wanted a steak and the other wanted somewhere close to The Art Institute. Win win! We caught them before what I would assume would be the dinner rush. Sat by the open doors as it was a nice day. Good music was being played on the corner so that was a bonus. I got the prime rib which came with a loaded baked potato (must've missed that on the menu), one friend had the cajun shrimp pasta and the other had her steak. The prime rib also came with au jus and horseradish cream sauce. I ordered medium rare, it was more medium but that was fine with me. My friend was pleased with her steak as they had A-1 (no judgement!) and the pasta special was delicious. The margaritas were wonderful (I had 3) and the lemon drop martini was good as well. We also ordered the brussel sprouts which were cooked well and the garlic mashed. Had we realized the steaks came with the baked potato we would have passed on that. It did not go to waste as we ate half the steaks and had sides to bring home with.

    Anyone know if there's a dress code?

    I just wore jeans and a tshirt!

    What are the happy hour specials and is it bar only?

    Not sure about happy hour specials but no, it is certainly not a bar only. They have a very nice big bar area with high top seating up in the front and they also have traditional dining seating in the back...

    Does this restaurant take cash?

    They take everything but a check.

    Is it loud inside?

    It entirely depends on what day you go. We went on a early weekday and it was not busy. There was no probably talking amongst our table of 6. Weekends are probably very different.

    Does Remington s take reservations?

    Yes they do, I believe through OpenTable (or go straight to their website).

    Do you allow dogs outside?

    Yes, our patio is dog-friendly!

    Is this a kid friendly restaurant? My sons name is Remington and want to take him

    Yes on kids!! There is a kids menu and they give the kids Wikki Stixs to play with!!

    Do I need a reservation to get a table?

Finished the dinner with 6 oz filet mignon. Medium, cooked perfectly , tender meat. Highly recommend. Along with the brussel sprouts and the sweet potatoes. Both had great flavors and are easy shareable. The thick cut bacon was mouthwatering . The desserts were good. The chocolate pie and the crème brûlée.

Especially not a good dinner option despite being excited for it for our Valentine's Day dinner. Food- really liked Caesar salad and Mac n cheese. However, this is a steak house. We ordered ribeye in medium and NY strip in medium rare. However, ribeye was medium rare and ny strip was cooked medium well. I considered telling our waiter but he never appeared at our table to ask about how our food was. He showed up half an hour later to ask if we wanted dessert. I didn't eat my ny strip because it was so dry and my husband had a few bites. Service- as mentioned above, the server barely showed up. Also our food arrived later than everyone next to us. The couple next to us got sat down after we put in our entree order and get they received their entree before we did. No apologies or context given on the delay. Also, I know they offer half orders for certain dishes like salad for takeouts and deliveries and saw older TikTok videos that mentioned getting half portions too. We asked if they do half portions so we can try more items in the menu, we simply got a "NO" without any kindness or explanation given. It was said as if we were asking them something stupid. Ambiance- I think the bar area is nice looking, but we were sat in the basement. It was crammed, the tables were small, and because it was a small room, you can really hear other tables conversations. For casual restaurants I don't mind that type of ambiance but if we are dropping more than $300 for 2 of us, I am going to compare it to comparable places in that price range: Bavettes, Gibsons, maple and ash, swift and sons, Alston, etc. this is significantly lacking compared to all of those "nice steakhouses". Theres not even a coat check. Also our leftover was packed in a cheap black plastic bag. Once again, not matching with the price point. We are locals and were very excited to try this place not far from us, but sadly, it was a truly disappointing experience and if anyone asked me if I'd recommend this place, I would say look elsewhere.

I was also very pleased with the salad that came first which was lightly dressed and very seasonal. We finished our dining experience with a slice of cheesecake. It was a nice cap to the end of a wonderful meal. I would recommend this restaurant for any occasion - I would love to come back and try some of the other items on their menu.

    **Hidden gem!!!**…read more Penumbra is SUPER sexy and low-key elite. This is one of those spots that will make you look like a total restaurant pro if you take someone there or recommend it. The ambiance is intimate, romantic, and just feels exclusive without trying too hard. I took my girl there for her birthday and she absolutely loved it -- which is always the real test. We had the ribeye and the Rotini Bianco, and both were excellent. The ribeye was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful. The Rotini Bianco was rich, creamy, and done just right. Every dish felt intentional and well executed. Don't hesitate to book. If you're trying to impress or celebrate something special, this is the move.

    Wasn't too hard to get a last minute reservation for a Monday night. The restaurant is in the hotel…read morebuilding here (can't remember the name now). Came here with my sister, and we were able to order one of each tasting menu. All of the meats were delicious, high quality. The Wagyu tasting menu was of course much fattier and more tender. One of my fave cuts of meat was the Wagyu ribeye cap, not surprising. The Wagyu hanger from the premium tasting menu was my fave cut from that menu. The servers were friendly. They cook the meat for you at your table, so depending on how they're staffed the night you go and how busy they are, you might have a short wait between some bites. But it wasn't noticeably slow. The tasting menu is served with japchae (yum!), assorted banchan, salad, and ssamjang sauce. They also give you sesame oil with salt and pepper. Most of the meat was seasoned so well, it didn't even need sauce. The banchan sides are great to help cut the fattiness of the meat. If you ask for rice, they will give you some. I know they give you lettuce to wrap, but I prefer a little white rice to help cut the grease personally. Was happy they had it! If you want to order meat à la carte, the biggest surprise of the night was that the marinated short rib which is usually a fave was oddly the least seasoned and the marinade was not super flavorful. I would stick to the Wagyu hanger or maybe one of the ribeye options. Would recommend for some good beef and good service!

I ordered the small ceaser, Korean fried chicken, and smashed burger + beer combo. Everything was perfect. The salad was refreshing, crunchy, and flavorful. Light but filling. The Korean chicken had a tinge of sweetness/spiciness with perfect fried skin. Also, very juicy. Burger tasted like a really elevated Big Mac which is great, and fries were solid too. The bartender who I think was Andrew did a great job serving us too. He was a one man show having to deal with everyone at the bar. So glad we were able to try the food from here. The ambiance is also nice and elevated, definitely a good date spot.

Walking into the Chicago Grand Avenue Joe's was like walking into a full elevator - difficult, but not impossible. This place was jammed, on an early Thursday night. I guess the word is out - this place is good. I grabbed a high top bar table right in front of a TV with the Cubs game on and got everybody's attention in the very sports centric city! I know "Joe's" menu very well and I ordered: * Their Wedge salad with a ton of accoutrements and asked for this salad to be chopped and tossed. It was excellent * Their fried calamari with two dipping sauces which was also very good and filling. * A light pale pilsner that (again) was very good paired excellently with my order. I guess what I'm trying to say is - this place earned such a stellar reputation that being in this sea of happy diners is well deserved. The staff was accommodating, the ambience was wild and wooly and the people were enjoying themselves, to no end, me included.

The chicken paillard was very tasty but it seemed odd that the chicken and salad were both served on the same very hot plate. Luckily the salad didn't get warm enough to wilt the greens.

    Came here last night for dinner with another couple for the first time. While the food was good,…read morethe service was not so I don't think I'll be back. For starters, we had a reservation which I would recommend. We were seated right away and while the place is large inside, I'm not sure what walk-in availability is like. The food: we really enjoyed the octopus, escargot, I had the Filet Mignon Au Poivre, and the banana/coconut entremet. The octopus was tender and flavorful; octopus cooked right (especially in smaller pieces) is hard to find so I was impressed. The escargot was nice and buttery/garlicky, and piping hot. I LOVED my Filet with the green peppercorn cream sauce! It was delicious and my husband was surprised I ate so much of it. It was cooked exactly as I asked, the meat had good flavor, and the sauce was delicious and well balanced + the right consistency. Lastly, the banana and coconut dessert was a pleasant surprise. The banana flavor was fresh (not artificial) and had the right balance of coconut. It was creamy, not too sweet, and had the right balance of textures with the outer coating and the crumble underneath - if you like banana or coconut at all I'd say it's a must order! The creme brulee was just okay. My issue was the service - the table next to ours LIT ON FIRE because a menu was over the top of a candle. After burning half the menu and the fire was getting larger, our partners ran over and put it out with their napkins. They yelled and there was NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT from the staff at all - at least 2 staff saw and one waiters eyes got big for a minute and she turned away. Not even a thank you from anyone to our partners for putting it out, and they had to ask for new napkins because theirs had black char on them. We were in the middle of enjoying our appetizers and my friend was just digging into her French onion soup from our first round and the staff kept trying to take our plates away. My friend had to tell them 3 times to please leave the soup at the table, and overall made us feel very rushed. We weren't taking a long time to eat at all so felt very weird? When the entrees were dropped on the table, my friend got a steak and they kept trying to give her a butter knife. It took multiple attempts to get the correct knife. Then once we were done eating it took a while to get our plates and old glasses cleared away. Overall service timing was off and their aggressiveness in the beginning of trying to take our plates away + the lack of response to A FIRE in the restaurant was pretty alarming. While I enjoyed the food there, the service was pretty bad and I feel unsafe with the lack of response to a fire in the restaurant so I don't think we'll return.
