Food & Drink

While in Chicago last week, I was taken out to dinner at Gene and Georgetti's (500 N Franklin St.). This was a great dinner at a great restaurant. If you are looking for a place with the feel of a private club and/or the feel of a family owned Italian steakhouse you will not be disappointed. Prices were high, though the atmosphere was obviously included. The service was very attentive and courteous and the food was delicious and well presented. I had the bone-in ribeye steak and some garlic mashed potatoes. The steak was large and well cooked. Others had the fillet which was easily 4 inches tall and still exactly how they wanted it prepared. They are apparently known for their tiramisu, though for dessert I simply had the chocolate mint ice cream. It was very good.
