III Forks Prime Steakhouse

Post-valentine's dinner was a disappointment. Appetizer and dessert were ok but main dishes were far, far off. Sea bass looked pretty- but, had no flavor and I suspect was not fresh- probably frozen. Steak was submerged in some sauce which basically ruined it. Service was good but we definitely felt rushed. Recommend for appetizers, drinks and ambience; rooftop is also cozy and great for drinks in the summer.

Despite being a little tricky for Chicago cabbies to find, III Forks was wonderful. We went for the Restaurant Week Menu and it was an incredible deal - $44 for three courses when a steak on its own is typically $36.50. Our food was cooked perfectly and was packed with flavor. One of our steaks was overdone and they replaced it with a new, perfectly cooked one within five minutes. I was impressed. The dessert - Maker's Mark Bread Pudding - was to die for, and the starter course of Lobster Bisque was delicious. The ambiance is really cool in there with a beautiful bar and huge windows on all sides. I'm dying to sit in the private wine room. Definitely might consider III Forks for a special night out in the future, especially when the patio is open!

Supper Club splurged for Restaurant Week and did it up right on a random bitterly cold Monday.  The place is pretty much IN Lake Michigan, in case you didn't know.  Very much not by anything.

The valet situation was a little weird, both on the way in and out he was sort of MIA.  Wouldn't have been a big deal if, like I said, it wasn't bitterly cold and next to nothing else.

Anyways, onto the important part of dinner.  Dinner.

I love going to steakhouses during Restaurant Week, it is seriously the best deal.  I'd say it was around an 8 oz filet with potatoes and asparagus, plus Caesar Salad or Lobster Bisque and dessert for $44.  Yes, please.

I got the Lobster Bisque because, duh.  It wasn't as creamy and heavy as most are but it was still full of lobster flavor and a couple meaty pieces.  Good stuff.  My filet was cooked perfectly medium but unfortunately husband's medium was like rare plus.  Not sure how the same guy cooked two steaks medium for the same table and got such different results.  Either way, husband said it was still delicious and ate the whole thing.  Boozy bread pudding for dessert was a giant portion, like half a sheet pan with ice cream.  I mean, really.

The service, as expected, was way over the top.  I got a call the next day following up to see how my meal was, I mean that is just crazy good customer service.  Our server was a bit odd and awkward but still did a great job.  Would recommend for a fancy, romantic date night.
