I was really impressed with the food and the value here. The 7 After 7 Menu was excellent, choose from 7, 3 course meals after 7:00 for $19.95. They were happy to pack up dessert to take back to the hotel. My only complaint was with the slow and absent minded waitress. She was nice enough, but very slow bringing... more

i loved it! The seasonal cheese cake was to die for. We spent about $90.00 for two... it was a splurge for us, but worth it. The stayed 40 minutes past closing for us and did not rush us and the food was fresh and hot even at closing! more

The look elsewhere review was right on. Went prior to Mary Poppins and this restaurant was mobbed. Guess they figure why bother with quality OR value with a ready made clientele. Our steak was seriously overcooked, and the meat itself of very low quality, chewy and tasteless, this at top dollar. Our meal was really nothing better than something you... more

We ate at Petterino's prior to seeing Rent at the Oriental (Ford) Theater. What a great evening! The atmosphere is elegant and "old Chicago" with dark wood, booths, and caricatures of famous people all over the walls. Our waiter was wonderful, with great suggestions for wine pairings for our meal. I had the wedge salad followed by the Filet Oscar--divine!... more

A fun place to eat if you are going to see a show in the theater district. They will valet your car and you can pick it up after the show which is convenient. more
