Wollensky's Grill

"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, it didn’t feel crowded. The Wagyu steak was quite simply the best I’ve ever had. It was cooked perfectly and accented with a lovely, nuanced sauce. The smoke added at the table enhanced the flavor and was fun. Gerald was our server and he was knowledgeable and professional. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Just go."

"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."

"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."

"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 ruined it). The waiter was friendly and the cocktails were good too."

"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 have their own menu which is more affordable. Steak is okay but not the best. Will definitely be back."
