"Let us count the ways Bavette’s in Chicago is romantic. One, it’s the only dining room we’ll describe as “sexy” unironically—dark and windowless, with red leather booths, 1920s jazz, and suave servers. Two, the bone-in ribeye is the best in town, and sharing a piece of juicy red meat has been romantic since the invention of fire. Three, it takes months to get a reservation, and when that Resy alert pops up at 6pm on a Tuesday, you’ll be grateful for the privilege. So here’s your Bavette’s gameplan: order an Old Fashioned, then a $200 shellfish tower followed by a prime rib sandwich, more cocktails, and finally finish with a cartoonishly large piece of lemon meringue pie.
