Fancy
The ambiance, the attention to detail, and the consistency. The food is beautifully prepared, but what keeps me coming back is how polished and comfortable it feels at the same time. It makes a night out feel special.
Ocean Prime
Food is fantastic and the ambiance is such a vibe. If you love Italian food, give this one a try!

Their steak is phenomenal, but they have one of the best burgers in the Chi!
Bavette's Bar & Boeuf
This place has been around forever. It’s a neighborhood gem in the Jefferson Park area. They closed last year, but recently opened back up. Delicious burger and great food overall. Nice ambiance and they have live music.
Gale Street Inn Chicago
This place is super popular. They have a solid burger. Not my fav, but super good. If you’re in Fulton Market and want a good burger is a great spot to check out. They get super packed and have very limited seating, but if you’re a burger connoisseur...
