Kinzie Chophouse — reliable italian in River North. Classic neighborhood feel, nothing here chasing trends. The drinks match the food in quality. "The creamy lobster risotto was rich and packed with tender lobster pieces" — Jay Fal

“We started with the Shellfish Trilogy, featuring poached crab claw, succulent shrimp, and a perfectly pan-seared scallop”
Overall less than satisfying experience.
The food was not great at all, the only thing I really enjoyed was maybe the steak.
Sent a note to management and ZERO response as well as two follow ups via email. Highly unprofessional.

I used to order steak sandwiches from his place When I worked up the street prior to joining the military , which was twenty years ago and the fact that they are still here , says something! OMG! One of the best steaks I've tasted by far! Cooked too perfection and the flavor, my god! The seabass was amazing a well, a must try.

“My husband and I ate here after our wedding.”
My husband and I ate here after our wedding. They had a beautiful sectional set up with “congratulations” card and candles. We ordered Oysters, crab cakes, Delmonico steak, asparagus and lamb chops! Everything was PERFECTION! They brought us a complimentary dessert that was outstanding! They came around to check on us and made sure we were enjoying our time. The second time we dined here, I had the lobster risotto and my husband had the Duck. 10/10 across the board.

“Had a private event and the food and service were incredible.”
Had a private event and the food and service were incredible. Absolutely loved the salmon and roe on the beets. The giant prawn with olive oil was perfect. Enjoyed hearing about the history of Kinzie by the proud staff. A real treat in Chicago.

“The food here is impecable.”
The food here is impecable. We ended up getting the Odyssey Tasting which is a 7 course meal. My wife loved the experience and the amount of attention to detail on every item was on point. I will definitely be back to try the 80 dry aged rib eyed.

“Awesome spot on Kinzie.”
Awesome spot on Kinzie. Visited during happy hour at the bar in December. It was quiet, the sliders were fantastic and drinks were great. Our bartender was friendly and service was excellent, per usual. Dinner service has been great in the past as well.

I had lunch here during restaurant week and was pleasantly surprised by how excellent everything was. The mushroom soup was rich and flavorful, the Prime Rib was incredibly juicy and delicious, and the carrot cake was a delightful treat. I left feeling full and completely satisfied. The service was also exceptional.

“Amazing service, delicious tasting menu, and generous portions.”
Amazing service, delicious tasting menu, and generous portions. I came to Kinzies almost 10 years ago under different ownership with my husband. Back in town for a solo trip and decided to try it again. SO glad I did. Reasonably priced and fabulous tasting menu that left me fat and happy! I kept forgetting to take pictures of each course, I kept digging right in. The service was impeccable, attentive and charming staff. This is a real gem, recommend with no reservations.

“We finally tried Kinzie Chophouse in River North and loved their 8-Course Odyssey Tasting Menu, available every Sunday.”
We finally tried Kinzie Chophouse in River North and loved their 8-Course Odyssey Tasting Menu, available every Sunday. The service was impeccable, and the cuisine was exceptional! We started with the Shellfish Trilogy, featuring poached crab claw, succulent shrimp, and a perfectly pan-seared scallop. The creamy lobster risotto was rich and packed with tender lobster pieces. The wet-aged filet was incredibly tender and flavorful. The lamb chop was so tender and flavorful, served with fried smashed potatoes and feta. We also enjoyed the intriguing Call me Rosa cocktail, a refreshing wine-based drink, followed by a fine cheese plate paired with infused honey. Dessert was indulgent and satisfying, the perfect end to a wonderful meal. Kinzie Chophouse is a warm, charming spot near the Merchandise Mart. Enjoy top-notch steaks and seafood, and unwind with jazzy tunes in their cozy dining room or newly renovated bar. They also offer a great variety of chicken, pasta, salads, and vegan options, all made with care. Their Award-Winning Wine list features over 650 selections to perfectly pair with your meal. Don’t miss out on this incredible dining experience. Treat yourself to the 8-Course Odyssey Tasting Menu next Sunday – you won't regret it!"

“Came for the Mother's Day brunch buffet.”
Came for the Mother's Day brunch buffet. Ambiance was beautiful, service was wonderful we felt right at home. Food selections were also plenty and tasty. Both seafood, premium meat and side options were decadent and nicely presented. The dessert table also had about four options. The price per person was $100 with an automatic $20 per person gratuity already added plus taxes. For two people the bill was $270, this could add up if you have a larger family. It was a special occasion. The location is also across from the Chicago River so it was nice to walk along the river walk after dining. There's a parking garage with hourly rates across the street. I recommend getting a Spot Hero (discount parking app) to find a deal on parking there.
