David Burke's Primehouse

Chef David Burke certainly knows his meat. It was perfectly seasoned to appreciate the taste of meat rather than masking it with toppings and overly flavored like some steakhouses do. We were hopping to different restaurants that night and since we only wanted to have the entrees, they were very generous to send complimentary appetizers and desserts. It was a welcome surprise that not many restaurants do anymore. It is a gem of a place and will highly recommend it. (03/12/2012)

David Burke's is a sexy ass restaurant in the sexy  ass James hotel.

Went for a bizness lunch on a Friday and got the shakenSTEAK special, which is a great deal in Chicago steakland.

We first started with some fun poofy bread and the crab and pretzel appetizer which came with sweet spicy peaches. Pretty tasty app with a unique composition.

The shakenSTEAK special is $20.13 for a MARTINI (gimme THAT), a choice of soup or salad, entree of scallops or petite filet, and a side.

I chose a gin martini, a side salad (just ok), the petite filet, and the basil mashed potatoes.

Although the petite filet wasn't amazing because I prefer my steaks fattier, everything was still very delicious.

Service was great and I love how they wear jeans.

I would def come back to try the foncy steaks that are aged like 574524 days, YUM.

Best steak I've had outside of Peter Luger's.  The place is high end without being overly pretentious.  The wait staff is knowledgeable and very personable.  Had the Wagyu Beef Sashimi and the 40 day dry aged bone in Ribeye.   First class place all the way.
