Reviews for Wollensky's Grill in Chicago, IL
My wife and I chose to eat here for our dinner celebrating my birthday. I ordered the Wagyu NY Strip and my wife had the Chilean... Sea Bass. The ambiance of the place was excellent. The wind off of the water was perfect and while there were many diners, itdidn’t feel crowded. The Wagyu steak was quite simply the best I’ve ever had. It was cooked perfectly and accented with alovely, nuanced sauce. The smoke added at the table enhanced the flavor and was fun. Gerald was our server and he wasknowledgeable and professional. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Just go. Read more
Really nice place to go. The food is very good, the lake canal view is amazing and the waiters are very kind. I liked a lot.
To say that the food was amazing is an understatement. To say it was the best steak I've ever had still doesn't do it justice. ... To say our waiter was the most knowledgeable waiter I've ever had, would fall short. This is a place where the food is theexperience. It is one of those meals that I won't soon forget. And has basically set the benchmark for all steaks to follow. Read more
Best burger ever! French fries which go with it are just so-so (very dry and hard), but the burger itself is perfect! Burger is... $16, steak is $42. It was also great. Nice atmosphere and view. You can see boats and kayaks going by really close. Read more
We opted to eat at Wollensky's Grill on an overnight stay in Chicago. For appetizers we had jumbo shrimp (amazing) and calamari... (fried and drowning in oil- not great). For mains we had filet (great) and rib eye (average- had a lot of fat in it which ruinedit). The waiter was friendly and the cocktails were good too. Read more
Great service and great view. Seated by the window overlooking the river. Celebrated anniversary here with 1 hr booking in... advance. Server was great and we got a cake at the end of service. You can order food from Smith and Wollensky but they havetheir own menu which is more affordable. Steak is okay but not the best. Will definitely be back. Read more
Service was outstanding by everyone from the hostess ( mightve been the manager I think) to the bartender (Adam) who was our... server. I got the filet mignon medium rare. Steak was tasty but didn't recieve the generous portion of fries that menu stated.Then got dessert and that chocolate cake? IT. IS. HUGE. Can't be consumed by one person so don't try. Maybe 2 ppl and get it.Nice ambiance in the restaurant and nice view on the river. Once again, the service made up for the skimpy portion of fries. Iwould def come back. Read more
Fantastic place. Great food and service. Unfortunately the table next was very loud.
