10Best Steakhouse
The Palm
(Restaurants - Steakhouse)
323 E Wacker Dr Swissotel, Chicago  60601 • 312-616-1000
Distance: ~666 ft *
        Description: DOWNTOWN. Perhaps best known for the caricatures of celebrities that grace its walls, The Palm also serves some of the best steaks in town. The Chicago branch of this New York-based establishment has been enthralling local politicians and sports figures, as well as business guests and out-of-towners, since its 1980 opening. Impeccable service makes dining in this beautiful room all the more enjoyable. Dark woods, rich leathers, hardwood floors, and fine linens blend to create an atmosphere conducive to romance or business.

Smith & Wollensky
(Restaurants - Steakhouse)
318 N State St, Chicago  60611 • 312-670-9900 • 312-670-9587
Distance: ~0.43 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. Chef Hans Aeschbacher serves up delightful meats aged in-house and wonderful seafood in this Marina City spot. With seven dining areas, including a chef's table in the kitchen, wine cellar, outdoor seating, and window tables overlooking the river, this New York-based steakhouse has taken Chicago meat lovers by storm since its 1998 opening. The decor is "turn of the century" and masculine with dark wood, forest green colors, and startling amounts of sports memorabilia. Châteaubriand for two (one of the house specialties) is divine.

Keefer's
(Restaurants - Steakhouse)
20 W Kinzie St, Chicago  60610 • 312-467-9525
Distance: ~0.49 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. This lovely steakhouse welcomes diners with a gleaming interior that features large windows and great views of the river. A curved bar and highly polished light and dark woods give the dining room a sophisticated feel. The owners of Keefer's pride themselves on the high quality cuts of beef that they serve. Try the filet mignon, the New York strip au poivre, or the thick porterhouse. All are cooked-to-order and seem to melt in your mouth. Smart casual dress.

The Capital Grille
(Restaurants - Steakhouse)
633 N Saint Clair St, Chicago  60611 • 312-337-9400
Distance: ~0.53 mi *
        Description: MAGNIFICENT MILE. One of the many reasons The Capital Grille has become a carnivore's mecca for Chicagoans and visitors alike is the melt-in-your-mouth, dry-aged in-house beef. Everything from the signature Veal Chop with Roquefort butter sauce to Steak au Poivre with Courvoisier cream is tantalizing. "Wine Spectator" magazine granted The Grille a "Best of Award of Excellence" for their 300-bottle wine list. The decor is simple yet elegant with Tiffany lamps, sumptuous carpeting, rich brown and forest green hues, and large windows. A lovely wine room is available for private events and occasionally serves as an additional bar.

Ruth's Chris Steak House
(Restaurants - Steakhouse)
431 Dearborn St, Chicago  60610 • 312-321-2725
Distance: ~0.55 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. If Ruth Fertel has a Ruth's Chris steakhouse in the area, it's sure to be included on every "Top 10" list. Most people would have been intimidated to open an establishment in the backyard of such famous steak houses, but not Ruth. This restaurant, with its men's club atmosphere, holds its own and serves perfectly seasoned steaks sizzling on platters heated to 450 degrees, mouthwatering sides, and fantastic desserts.

Chicago Chop House
(Restaurants - Steakhouse)
60 W Ontario, Chicago  60610 • 312-787-7100
Distance: ~0.72 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. This steakhouse gets high marks for affordable prices and great steaks, salads, and baked potatoes. What's the secret? Some say it's because all three owners are always on-site to make sure everything is perfect. Others say that the quality and value can't be topped. And, here's the trivia buzz...there's a picture of every mayor of Chicago on the walls! Even City Hall doesn't have them all.

Wildfire
(Restaurants - Steakhouse)
159 W Erie St, Chicago  60610 • 312-787-9000
Distance: ~0.86 mi *
        Description: RIVER NORTH. Jazz music sets the tone at this clubby, laid-back steakhouse. House specialties include roasted prime rib of beef, horseradish-crusted filet mignon, barbecued baby back ribs, wood-roasted mussels, cedar planked salmon, and macadamia nut-crusted halibut. A selection of salads and sandwiches is also available. While waiting for your table, order a specialty martini in the lounge; you'll also find a list of microbrews and wines.

Saloon Steakhouse
(Restaurants - Steakhouse)
200 E Chestnut St Seneca Hotel, Chicago  60611 • 312-280-5454
Distance: ~0.86 mi *
        Description: STREETERVILLE. A great alternative to Chicago's tonier (and more expensive) steakhouses, Saloon is situated a block off Michigan Avenue. The decor is suitably masculine and clubby with lots of dark wood, and service is knowledgeable and efficient. Although the menu ventures into non-beef territory, steaks are the big draw – if you have a big appetite, by all means order the 24-oz. "cowboy-cut" bone-in rib-eye. That's a lot of meat! After your meal, plan to enjoy a 10-oz. martini and a cigar in the bar.
