Awesome Chicago spot right on the river . Seating outside is best if weather permits. Filet, whipped potatoes and that bread . A last meal wish. I also love the raspberry martini .
The food is delicious. Our waiter was professional and all evening was amazing. Try lobster tail & steak plus two sides. also nutela creme brulé . heaven in mouth
The riverside location of this steak-and-chops joint is such a big part of Chicago’s vibe that it may surprise you to learn it’s not a Windy City original (the chain started in New York in 1977). Read more
Fantastic place for diner+drinks. A little noisy -nothing above the average- space at the counter bar , super friendly staff and highly recommended options: Filet Mignon , Spicy Shrimps & sundae dessert
Is that type of old bistro with good steaks . Their salads are gigantic, beef tartare is good and they have a cauliflower dish which is particularly tasty. Terrace is great for a lunch .
On my list of top three steakhouses in Chicago without a doubt. Highly recommend the Cajun marinated rib eye steak .
If possible have a seat outside with the river and a little chicaho theatre view . Steak is delicious, waiters are very professional. We had an amazing night.
Catch a drink on the patio when the sun is out. Great views , total Chicago experience. We were there for a drink and a snack . Martinis were great., Had fries (nit bad). Service outstanding.
The crab cake is an awesome appetizer ! Don't overlook the Mac & Cheese options as a side (they come in half sizes if a full is too much). Great atmosphere!
The bone-in rib steak and Kansas City sirloin pack in loads flavor, but you won’t go wrong with an Australian lobster tail or grilled swordfish . The fantastic shrimp cocktail is worth the $17 splurge. Read more
We came there for lunch , enjoyed very good food, fantastic beef bacon , service was OK - not bad but not exceptional, ambiance is a little oldish and somewhat stuck up but a very solid place
Enjoy this combination: Smith & Wollensky “Private Reserve ” Sauvignon Blanc . crisp, elegant and fresh wine with citrus , ripe mango and melon notes - paired with Signature Shellfish Bouquet .
The Signature Bone-In Ribeye was perfectly cooked. It's also huge at 24oz. Ask for outdoor seating in the summer and by the window in colder months.
Go downstairs to the grill. You can get a baseball cut steak which is awesome. Fantastic river view as well .
If you get the wall of chocolate cake , make sure you bring all your friends to help! Huge slice- deliciousness for 10.
It’s time for a little tax relief – Enjoy our Wollensky Butcher Burger for only $7! Available daily for Lunch until 6 PM when you checkin and "LIKE" us. Now thru end of April 2012.
The Gorgonzola crusted filet is amazing
Had the bone-in ribeye and thought that I would never get to the bone. Man, there is a lot of beef on that plate! This is a great place for a displaced Texan to go to get his fill of steak . Read more
Just a great place. Love the outside dining and the wine list . Steak , but of course.
A seat on the river . A glass of wine . Just hold on to your napkin - it can get a little windy!
Very good steaks . Not the best in town , but very good. I would go back.
Great table for 7 in a small private room near the front door. Had the "seafood bouquet " appetizer for all 7 of us and barely ate it all. It was great... even for a steak house .
James is an excellent waiter and James the General Manger was very helpful. Fish Tacos were excellent.
Simply delicious!!! Great service from Mike!!!
if you order the Sirloin , ask for medium-rare, extra char.....with roasted garlic and cippolini onions ......you won't be sorry!
Don't miss #NationalWineWeek. Can't beat sampling 10 premium wines for $10 with lunch ! 3/5 thru 3/9. Reservations strongly recommended!
Check out our new Wollensky's Grill downstairs! Read more
Service, food, and atmosphere just excellent
Beautiful views aren't just for summer! The south wall of the dining room is right above the water - and all windows. - CBS Chicago Read more
The Chef 's special is always a delight! Filet mignon is to die for. Medium rare, please!
Need to get the bone-in-ribeye medium rear... No steak will ever compare!!! Can't forget the whipped mash !! Great service too!!!
Don't fill up on the fresh baked warm garlic bread w/ stone ground mustard butter!!! On second thought #getmore!
Steak cooked perfectly but rather bland. Check the blackboards for daily specials . A steakhouse and no steak tartare !
We love the outdoor seating along the river in the summer. Just steps away from Trump Chicago.
Truffled mac 'n' cheese and pretzel bread are so good here! Sit downstairs for a lovely view of the river !
Order a dry martini and enjoy the terrace until the dining crowd comes in around 6pm.
Steak and seafood plate was amazing
Steaks , fillet mignon
Fillet mignon , steak
Great for west coast people because they are opne till 1 am.
Signature prime rib and mac & cheese . That is all.
When you can't decide on the perfect Filet, order a duo or trio!

Seared scallop app is great portion size for lunch !
Order the hash brown potatoes . You won't be disappointed.
Not my fav place in Chicago. It will do but I like many other places for steak
A nice night of outdoor dining on the Chicago River cannot be beat!
Great views of the river from the patio . Have a steak while you are here btw.
