This place is just way overrated. Our food was very good, but I had a better steak in other places (for example; Ruth's Chris is better). Service was great but definitely too expensive. more

Best steak ever. Even saw this on the Travel Channel. Service was to notch. Al Capone used to frequent the place and it has not changed much since then. more

This is one of those restaurants that's all fluff and history with no real substance or quality at this point. The photos of movie stars when you walk in point to a landmark restaurant that one should not miss; in retrospect the celebrities probably had their meal complimentary in exchange for their mugshot on the wall. The atmosphere is loud... more

They're supposed to be known for their steak. Well, get this, when's the last time you went to a self respecting "steakhouse" (and I don't mean like Outback, but a Morton's) and they brought out A1 with the steak? What's worse? I had to use it! So how was the steak, exactly? Well first, there was no searing on my... more

Back in the early 90's a group of us jumped in a cab and said, "Take us to the best steak place in downtown Chicago." We were dropped off at Gene & Georgetti's. My memory of that night is I walked out of there thinking I had just tasted the best steak ever. Several years later I was in Chicago... more

Whenever I visit Chicago, I make it a point to eat at Gene & Georgetti's. The steaks are out of this world and the service is good. more

This is an old school restaurant. Service is nice, atmosphere is nice. Meat quality is good but not great. I was a little disappointed. If your in town and want an old school place then its ok. It sort of has a nostalgic feel and I'm sure its been there forever. I'm from L.A. and it sort of reminds me... more

Worst steak I've ever eaten. Maybe I'm just spoiled by Ruth Chris, but this was the worst meal I've ever eaten - and one of the most expensive. I ordered my fillet medium, but the steak was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. My wife ordered hers medium rare and it was overcooked. All 4 of us... more

After visiting their site I thought I would have a nice dinner in a cosy place. Instead, I found myself in a restaurant with a dirty entrance and a tired interior. They could put a sign on it 'eat and get out'. If you fancy rude Italian waiters and 'Quick' service, this is your place. I got a steak on... more
