"Hogsalt Hospitality’s sultry French-inspired spot is at the forefront of a new wave of steakhouses in Chicago. There are traditional entrees, such as roasted chicken and lamb chops, along with contemporary choices like fried chicken and a French dip sandwich. The beef is predictably top-notch, especially the 42-day dry-aged rib-eye that’s complemented by bearnaise sauce. This is one of the busiest restaurants in town, so plan ahead with a reservation." - Ashok Selvam
