Very old school, very popular. I liked the pasta and the spinach but was underwhelmed by the flavorless chicken. Huge portions. more

I want to like this place but don't. It's got kind of a cool neighborhood "we're kind of run down, but that's ok" vibe. Sort of old world. I wanted it to be Lugars, but it doesn't even compare. With so many steak places to choose from, go somewhere else. more

Made reservations and were sat at an inadequate table with a lazy attitude. Food, which was prime rib, was served cold, tough, and overplated. Baked potato side dish was cold and wouldn't even melt the butter. Cocktail, which was served pre-meal, was ungarnished and watery. Would not reccommend this restaurant to anyone. Don't go. Overpriced and uninspired. . .unless you... more

No shortage of 5-star eateries here, but if you don't try Gene and Georgetti's Restaurant you'll be sorry. Make a reservation, but be prepared to wait -- preferably at the bar where you'll find the best bartenders in the free world. more

Prior to our long weekend in Chicago, we called for reservations. We had a lengthy conversation about the date and time for our reservation -- Sunday, 8:30 pm. We even called the day before to reconfirm the reservation -- and received the response, "yes, we'll see you then." We arrived at the restaurant to find that it was closed on... more

After making reservations and looking forward to the much hyped Gene and Gerogetti's, I can only say that it certainly did not live up to the hype. Surly would be my best description of the service. I felt that because I was not a regular, I was wasting their time. Our over $100 bill for two people, no liquor, no... more
