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

We spent our 2nd anniversary dinner here. We had a reservation and were seated right a way. We had a nice table upstairs and it was not crowded. The service was great. The food was fabulous quality, my wife had the filet mignon and I had the bone in rib eye. Both were cooked to perfection but the rib eye... more

Unless you order meat your dinner doesn't come with a salad, which is fine because the salad they would give you is quite literally a pile of lettuce and one piece of tomato. My spaghetti was bad and had to be sent back. My friend's $40 hunk of meat was okay, but it was just a piece of meat standing... more

WARNING: G&G'S CANNOT COOK A STEAK! 11/08 My wife and I were in Chicago last weekend and, at the suggestion of my brother, who lives on the North Shore, decided to make Gene & Georgetti's our special Saturday night meal. I've eaten at many steakhouses in the country (e.g., Peter Luger, Mastro's, Ruth's Chris, Morton's, Capital Grille, etc.) so I... more
