I was staying at the Hyatt Regency and came here my first night and sat at the bar. I highly recommend the Old Fashioned at the bar. My only recommendation is to ask for that he ice cube if that's your preference. I didn't know to ask and got small cubes that watered it down a bit... or I just drink too slowly. After reading other reviews, I had to try the Miso Marinated Black Cod. I was so not disappointed! The cod was perfectly cooked with sweetness that paired nicely with the baby leeks and mushrooms. I also had the Loaded Baked Potato as my side. The potato was incredibly fluffy and I loved that I could mix in the butter, chives, sour cream and cheese to make it just as I liked it. I didn't have dessert but they all looked delicious! read more

We dined here because I was in town for a conference and the daily F&B credit. However when the restaurant was nearly empty at 8pm on a Thursday night we should've left. The service was great but the quality of the food and flavor profile was poor. We ordered lobster bisque, creamed spinach, octopus, hamachi jalapeño and the worst kale and freisee salad known to mankind. The bisque was burnt, lacking in silky rich flavors, it was salty and charred. The octopus was rubbery and bland. The sushi roll was warm and unbalanced. I ended up just picking the fish off the top and eating it because the inside of the roll was poorly executed. When the salad came to the table I was shocked, it was dry and just a pile of vegetables and not a well thought out salad. It hit several bitter notes. I love beets, kale radish etc but the presentation and preparation of this salad was a miss. Our server was nice, but unfortunately the food missed the mark and was underwhelming. read more

For convenience and hanger issues, I tend to eat at the restaurants at hotels. I also set my expectations low bc I don't want to be disappointed when I am anticipating an amazing meal. BUT...Stetsons did NOT disappoint. It started off slow and calm as it wasn't a very busy night. The host sat us near the bar with a view of this mesmerizing fireplace. It definitely isn't your usual steakhouse as it has a whole sushi bar in the restaurant like you'd think it was a dedicated Japanese restaurant. I wasn't in the mood for steak but really wanted to try the fish and how fresh it was. Now, where can you get a wedge salad, sushi rolls, lobster bisque, char grilled octopus and miso marinated black cod in the same place? HERE. That's where. Salad was chilled and knife ans fork ready. The creamiest blue cheese crumbles and I don't really like blue cheese. This one wasn't so sharp but very palletable. Charred Octopus was another favorite. Great flavors. Tender. The black miso cod was the star of this meal for me. Could not get enough of it. Surprised as this was a steakhouse + sushi bar. Loved every single bite. Hubs gave me spoonfuls of his lobster bisque. NGL, it was pretty legit with pure flavors vs covering it up with cream and butter. Their dessert was no joke. I wanted to sample everything. Had their toffee cheesecake AND their chocolate cake. The cake was huge! Like back in the days where Claim Jumpers was around. Nice and moist and not too sweet. Some bites were dryer than others. Needed a glass of milk for it. Our server Hussein, I believe, was slow to warm up to us. But by the end of the night we were joking around and had a very enjoyable last night dinner. Our 1st meal in Chicago. Love the convenience of this resto being in the hotel. No reservation needed though we made one anyways since it was getting late. We were not rushed to leave at all though it was close to their closing time. read more

Our server was sweet but the food was pretty disappointing. I got a miso soup and Caesar salad. The soup was quite basic and the salad had stale bread on it. My sister really liked her sushi roll and my cousin liked their food ok. I got a German glass of wine and it was so sweet I couldn't drink it. The staff were really nice and that was the highlight for sure. read more

Love this place located right inside the Hyatt Regency in downtown Chicago! Went with a large group and we ordered several items. Staff was very attentive and everything was delicious! Check out that seafood tower. It had everything on it you would like! For dinner, I had the prime rib I could only eat half of it. read more

Truthfully only came here for the happy hour while we were staying at the Hyatt. Half price sushi and $6 old fashions obviously drew me in! Super cute, mature, and classy restaurant. We sat at the bar and all the bartenders were so nice to us. I got the sunset roll and it was perfect. read more

So they advertise a sushi happy hour but it's only a couple of rolls. It does not seem like a set hh sushi menu the bartender just pointed to a few rolls and said they were on hh. So that was a bit disappointing. They did have decent hh drinks and you get a bowl of nuts with wasabi peas in it. read more

One of the best dining experiences I've had in Chicago! My sister and I came to Stetsons Modern Steakhouse + Sushi for a girls' night and everything was exceptional from start to finish. We decided to trust our server, Anthony, with the entire menu -- and he absolutely delivered. His recommendations and wine pairings were spot-on for every course and truly elevated the whole experience. We ordered a mix of sushi and steakhouse classics, and every dish was outstanding. The Sunset Roll and Dragon Roll were packed with flavor, the Shrimp & Scallop Roll was fresh and bright, and the 10oz Filet Mignon was perfectly cooked and melt-in-your-mouth tender. The sides were just as impressive -- especially the grilled corn with lime crema and chipotle dust and the creamed spinach. The crab cake was another standout with almost all crab and barely any filler. Between the incredible food, the cozy upscale atmosphere, and Anthony's thoughtful, attentive service, this was an unforgettable night. Highly recommend Stetsons whether you're staying at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, planning a date night, or just craving amazing sushi and steak in the same place. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came here because I thought it was a little more high end and I would enjoy a nice drink and dinner at the bar. When I got here at the " manager" I think, only because she kept going into a room that no one else did... Was so loud that I could not even enjoy myself. She was talking to the people and it was all about herself. It was just disappointing because I wanted to just relax in a nice environment and have a nice meal. Ended up having to leave the hotel and walk down the street. Just a disappointing evening overall. I think whoever this woman is should pay more attention to her surroundings and her guests and get the attention of herself. She seemed more concerned about what anybody else thought about her rather than us enjoying our time there read more

Not the best steaks in Chicago, but it is priced like they are. The food was very good and the service was excellent. They have a good cocktail menu as well as a great wine list (which they bring to you separately on an iPad). I got the 10 ounce fillet with the peppercorn sauce which was very good. I ordered it medium and it was cooked perfectly. My guest got the salmon and she also liked the flavor. A good steakhouse, but not outstanding. read more

Stayed at the Hyatt Regency and decided to grab some dinner because I wanted to have a chill night before my flight out the next day. Called the restaurant to place an order for pick up and was told that they only take orders in person. WTF, this is a restaurant inside of a Hyatt. Why would they not allow call in orders. I guess they've been burned by people placing orders and not picking them up. Ordered the lemon & pepper calamari, sunset and California roll. While waiting, I also ordered an Old Fashion with Makers Mark. The Old Fashion was just ok, but a little stiff. Not the greatest, but at $14, I guess you can't expect that great of a drink at a hotel restaurant. For the amount of calamari you get for $22, it wasn't bad. It's understandable that the calamari wasn't as crispy, but I did notice that the lid to the aioli melted due to the heat. When it says lemon & pepper, I was thinking something similar to what you would get at a Chinese restaurant. This wasn't seasoned at all, but did have an aioli sauce to dip in. But it did not taste anything like lemon or pepper. I wonder if they forgot to season it. The California roll had real crab meat in it. But at $22, that's a big pricey. I can't comment on the Sunset roll as I didn't eat it, but my wife said it was just ok. Based on how everything was, this place is definitely overpriced for food taste. Only saving grace is that this restaurant is located inside of the Hyatt. read more

Stopped at Stetsons again for an early dinner. Food was delicious again. My steak was perfectly done. Wine was good. A surprising find- they use Lagiole knives for their baked potatoes! You don't often see that brand in a restaurant! Edy was my server for the meal and he was excellent. Pete, the manager,stopped by again to make sure everything was okay. We chatted about bear and moose in Alaska! read more

Great service that was slightly overly attentive but the food was great. I love the Calamari here and the Miso soup is beautiful presented but tastes the same as I could get at a Chinese takeaway. I didn't order any steak. The steak prices are extremely expensive even for a lower quality cut like ribeye. I had a salad which was very fibrous but protein on it would've made it more palatable. Those are not offered over the menu. They have a great wine assortment and I enjoyed a crisp half-glass of Pinot Grigio. The bread is thick and served warm. I did adore the Apple Pie which is flaky, buttery, served warm (without having to ask), and is paired with decadent vanilla ice cream. read more

We stayed at the Hyatt and didn't know this was actually downstairs inside of our hotel and it's truly a gem. The steak here is the SHOW! Service was amazing.

Stetsons is located in the Hyatt Regency Hotel. After a long day of exploring Chicago we decided to keep dinner close to our hotel because who wants to walk on a full stomach? I ordered a steak which could have used some salt and pepper, asparagus, & the sunset sushi was spicy and delicious. My waiter was Mohamed. He was kind, and made sure I was enjoying myself and the food. There is dim lighting in here so it's a very romantic vibe, especially if you sit next to the fire. I'd definitely come back for the sushi! read more

Truly disappointing The filer was fine The California roll was inconsistently sized and so basic/dull - even not considering its $23 price The restaurant was SO LOUD! And there was asparagus (which I hate and to which I'm allergic) in my order of broccolini - and I found it by biting into a piece Very very underwhelming We were going to have deep dish pizza tomorrow but instead we booked another local steakhouse for tomorrow night for a do-over read more

The Food was amazing!!! What was more amazing was the service, thank you Anthony for making my family feel welcomed to Chicago. Anthony made sure everything was perfect. You can honestly tell the place is run very well and the ambiance was great. read more

I sat at the Sushi Bar, and the sushi was excellent. I have sushi in cities across the country ordering some of the same item and the flavors here were exceptional. The sushi chefs are masters of their trade. It was so good on Monday night, 9/23, that I went back on Tuesday night, 9/24. I would highly recommend Stetsons! Steve read more

I was staying at the Hyatt and was hungry and lazy, so I went to Stetsons. Sat at the bar. Lovely place, great and friendly service. I started with a couple pieces of sashimi, which I thought were overpriced until they arrived. Easily twice the size of most places I've been. Switched to steak for dinner and ordered a ribeye, mashed potatoes, and a Caesar salad. The salad came first. Looked great with plenty of dressing and shaved Parmesan. The dressing lacked garlic and pepper, so I found it a little bland. Next came the steak and mashed potatoes. The taters seemed real, but again, were bland. The steak was overcooked by a bit: ordered med-rare; got medium to medium well. But I was starving and the steak was saved by the peppercorn sauce that was pretty good. Way overpriced. And if you want to be considered a steakhouse, you gotta get the temperature right! Skip this place for steak. read more

The best rib eye steak I've had in a loooong time. Cooked medium rare. So good with that brown sauce. Honestly delicious on its own. I scarfed it down! Also, the shrimp tempura roll was good too. Seriously good steak!!! Also, I ate this to-go and it was still phenomenal. I want more! read more

Wavering between 3-4 stars, overall good but not great experience. Service 4.5 - service was very attentive and polite, normally would be full points but got wrong order (asked for unagi roll and got dragon, which was fixed politely, and side order of asparagus instead of mixed veggies which I didn't bring up) and towards the end of the meal when service got busy sat for 10-15 minutes waiting for them to take my card. Food 3 - As someone who loves steak and sushi, I was somewhat excited and underwhelmed. Skirt steak was tasty, well seasoned/marinated and went well with the mashed potatoes/chimichurri but slightly overcooked (asked for medium rare got medium/medium well). Sushi rolls were tasty but honestly nothing crazy out of the ordinary, at $20-25 per roll I expected better value for money. Drinks ordered spring in Kyoto which was overpoweringly sweet, and daiginjo sake which wasn't worth $23/glass unfortunately. Atmosphere 4.5 - very nice modern and upscale feel, very nice ambiance and extremely polite and friendly staff lead to a pleasant experience Price 2 - very pricey for what they offer, relatively small portions on steak as well. I'm assuming this is due to being inside the hotel and having a lot of customers traveling/expensing for business but not worth it for paying out of pocket. read more

Spent the weekend downtown with my wife and needed some last minute reservations for dinner with family. Stetsons was walking distance. The ribeye is the best steak I've ever had and the sushi is just as good as when I was living in Japan. So good me and my wife went back the very next day. Highly recommend splitting a steak and a couple roles of sushi! read more

I did not have high hopes for a hotel restaurant, but I dare say that the octopus appetizer I had was not good. The octopus was overcooked. The lettuce it laid upon was tough grocery store lettuce that was dressed in some kind of gloppy ranch dressing that was not tossed.... So you got large globs of dressing as you ate. For these reasons, I stopped there and did not order an entree. read more

Everything was fine, but very uninspired. The calamari wasn't bad but could have used more seasoning. The edamame was devoid of the hint of salt that is a staple of this dish. Likewise the shrimp and scallops sushi and the old fashioned were all solid but not special or ranking anywhere near the more exceptional experiences I have had with this cuisine. For the price I expected more. I wouldn't say avoid the place if you have a taste for steak or sushi, but moderate your expectations. read more

Food! This place is certainly not a destination, this is more of a place that you go to when nothing else is easily available to you or you're just too tired to walk/ride somewhere. The food was acceptable, neither outstanding or terrible. They did overcook the salmon, which I asked for 'rare' since I knew that they would overcook it anyways, it was to the point of canned tuna. And the ribeye was chewy, which they can't control and is more a problem with the animal and not the restaurant. I don't plan on returning, though if I was in the hotel and had no other options, I might. read more

Went here on Valentine's Day and was pretty disappointed overall. Sushi was comparable to grocery store sushi. Food overall was lacking flavor, salt. Steak was overcooked. The tables are also practically on top of each other, so not the best date night spot unless you want a double date with the table next to you lol. The service was great though, very nice and attentive. read more

They served a popover in lieu of bread--was great! Fluffy and browned just right. Maybe serve with kosher or sea salt? The wedge was great! The lettuce was nicely chilled, Plentiful blue cheese crumbles covering entire cap and a perfect dollop of blue cheese that has a nice bite to it. The candied walnuts added a nice feature. There was one sliver of pepper. No bacon. I got mine with brick chicken that was so tender and moist that I almost forgot I was eating chicken--it was cooked perfectly. The piped in music bristled me. The lighting was a bit north of poor. The service was attentive and maybe a little much so. read more

This restaurant is inside the Hyatt hotel. I stay here often as I come to Chicago for business a lot. I usually go out to try different places, but occasionally will come to Stetsons. I love seafood and meats, but am not a fan of sushi, so I cannot provide a review on that part of the place. The restaurant is well decorated with both a fireplace and an open kitchen that allows you to see the cooking from wherever you are seated. The fire place acts as a dividir between the bar area and the dining area. The food is generally of high quality - the scallops and the salmon are both very good. The meats are very tender. The prices seem a bit high, but the serving sizes are also a bit big. Not that everything is a la cart so you need to order your sides in addition to the main dish. The service is always good and very friendly. The provide you with an iPad full of drink choices too which I like as it provides more information about wines than you would typically get otherwise. read more

Everything was "average" at best. Very limited Sushi menu, and the steaks were comparable to a chain steakhouse.

The customer service was bad and the sushi wasn't very good, so I wasn't impressed with this restaurant. If you want to try it, there are good specials during happy hour. It is a little hard to find because it is inside the Hyatt. The side entrance to the hotel is the easiest way to find Stetsons. read more

My husband and I had a fantastic experience at Stetson's this weekend! We were in town for the Chicago Marathon and were waiting in a ridiculously long line for another restaurant in the Hyatt when we were artfully wooed away by a menu preview and no line at Stetson's. Everyone was kind and the service was quick. The food tasted great - we had the ribeye and salmon and both were cooked well! The bread is super tasty with a crispy salty crust - we devoured it and shamelessly asked for a second serving! The restaurant manager Pete was incredibly gracious, greeted us when we arrived and checked on us during our meal. He chatted with us about the marathon and gave us a great tip on a good viewing spot for the marathon, which I followed through on the next morning and it was spot on! When we returned the next evening to grab some dessert, he remembered us and treated us to a decadent slice of chocolate cake! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for guests! read more
