Erie Street Cafe

Many  food items were too greasy (swimming) and/or to salty-had to send back.
Cheeseburger dry/salty. Over heard waiter telling coworkers hes waiting for the

Table with 150check to finish. Mortons would have been a better choice!

I was raised with a lot of old school Chicago German business style. Steakhouses. Sports. Tough business.

I enjoy a good salad, sautéed mushrooms, potatoes lyonnaise (or any au gratin) and a fat prime ribeye.

An Italian Barolo will do for the evening. Places like this, and Gene & Georgetti's define my pops side of the fam.

It was Valentine's day and I was meeting a coworker for dinner, it was kind of last minute and I was in the mood for a steak.  Well needless to say we were hard pressed to find a place that wasn't booked up, and this place was recommended by another colleague ...well low and behold we were able to get a 7:00 PM reservation which concerned us a bit but we decided to go for it.  Well I have to say that we were pleasantly surprised, while the decor is a tad bit rustic and lodge-ish (with moose heads, ducks and fishes mounted on the walls....not typically the type type of place I would go for a steak but they were pretty good !!  Side dishes a bit on plain side but if you are in the market for a good steak, I would definitely recommend this place.  And the front bar makes a pretty good dirty martini :-)
