    We shared Cesar salad, sea bass w broccolini& risotto. I had a Negroni & my companion had an old fashioned. Our waiter Jordan was amazing. The atmosphere was cozy and old school. All of our food was solid. The Seabass was excellent as were the drinks. The risotto was pretty good. I would not get it again. I would opt for a steak instead. We had a great meal

    Maybe the best steak dinner ever! The crab cake appetizer was excellent as were the sides of potatoes Vesuvio and broccolini. Extremely generous portions and excellent service. The only item that can be more complete is the wine list which was lacking in any Malbec wines and anything below $100. Overall, excellent!

    Gene and Georgetti's is so good! We had the crab cakes and baked clams for a starter...both delicious! For dinner I had the 8oz Filet Mignon with some mashed potatoes, and they cooked my steak to perfection! The service was superb. I definitely recommend!

    My wife and I were excited to dine at Chicago’s oldest steak house but that feeling quickly left. The staff and ambiance were amazing but the food was lackluster. Our Ribeyes ($97) were cooked perfectly but not seasoned well. They were also on the chewy side. The Brussel sprouts were not charred and firm…more mushy and pasty. The other sides were good but not worth the price. I won’t be headed back anytime soon.
