text: the experience was fine good wait staff ambiance etc on to the foodnnstarted with the Ricotta Ravioli which was solid but not spectacular I guess I expected more but who are we kidding I came here for the steak not the starter nnsplit the Chateaubriand the cut was as usual fantastic and the medium rare while a bit overdone on the bottom was still tender and delicious it was not oversalted or overspiced so the flavor of the cut really came through the roasted garlic was a great touch and added a great flavor these guys do steak proper worth the price of admissionnnfor sides the wild mushrooms were fineand the mozzarellawhipped potato side is nothing to write home about do not get eithertry some of the more adventurous sides marrow piquillo peppers nnin all a fine meal but as a Chicagoan a lot of folks can do the steak rightits the starters and the sides that really make a steakhouse stand out on both of these fronts i either chose wrong or they just do not put too much into it
