"A steakhouse stalwart that’s served River North for over a decade, Bavette’s has earned a loyal following for its moody French bistro vibes and ample chop house menu. It’s the kind of restaurant where it’s easy to fill up before dessert, but those who arrive with a plan in mind will be rewarded with silky slices of chocolate cream pie and tangy lemon meringue." - Naomi Waxman, Ashok Selvam
