The Riverfront Steakhouse
Chicago Cut Steakhouse on North LaSalle has built one of the city's most reliable steakhouse experiences over the past fifteen years. The format is American steakhouse with a riverfront view: dry-aged beef, an unusually deep wine cellar, and the kind of polished service the location demands.
The cooking is steakhouse-classic: prime cuts dry-aged in-house, fresh seafood handled simply, careful starters that take the format seriously, sides treated as proper components rather than as filler.
What to Order
Dry-aged ribeye, strip, or porterhouse — the kitchen ages in-house and the difference shows. The seafood tower for a celebration; oysters at the bar. The wine list is one of the deepest steakhouse cellars in the city.
The View
The riverfront patio handles warm-evening dining; the interior dining room handles serious dinners year-round. The acoustic quality is unusually good for a busy steakhouse.
Best Occasion: Close a Deal
Chicago Cut is one of River North's most appropriate deal-dinner rooms. The river view, the cellar, the polished service — combine into a dinner that handles the negotiation without dropping the hospitality register.
