801 CHOPHOUSE REVIEWS

Absolutely, amazing staff. We were there for our anniversary and didn't tell them, and they made it special anyways. Our waitress was honestly the best waitress I've had in a really long time. She made us laugh. And she made us feel like we were her best friend. The food was to die for. We had tons of leftovers, and they were still amazing the next day.

My son took me for my birthday and it was an amazing experience from the atmosphere yo the service level from every person we were in contact with. The food was outstanding! They gave me a personalized birthday menu, the table was set for my birthday and a complimentary full dessert of my choosing. We left full, happy and with lots of left overs.

Service was amazing food was exceptional! Thank you for a great dining experience.

CHICAGO SPEAKEASY REVIEWS

We had our team holiday lunch here on a Friday afternoon. It was busy with a constant flow of traffic. The hostess was professional and friendly. Our waitress was awesome and provided great service to our small group. The prices of the food was absolutely delicious! Everyone at our table stated their dish was tasty and served hot. I will definitely come back soon.

Stopped for lunch on a Monday. The place has a neat, old super club vibe, and the decor is very cool. They were busy, but service was quick. The food was great. The salad bar is amazing. The prime rib special was awesome. Highly recommended place.

The BEST salad bar in town. The staff is very experienced and the food is really good. We have our company Christmas party here every year.

JOHNNY ITALIAN STEAKHOUSE REVIEWS

Fantastic upscale restaurant. Service was prompt even without a pending reservation. Waitress was polite, friendly and incredibly helpful. Food choices were varied and balanced. The Food was amazing and prepared wonderfully!. To-go boxes were offered without even having to ask. The portions were good sized and had enough left over to take home. 5/5 would recommend highly.

My wife and I visited Johnny's Italian Steakhouse for dessert a while back and had the Creme brulee. It was sensational, and I have to highly recommend it. I thought the store looked reasonably clean, and customer service was adequate. The price was reasonable. I liked our visit.

Phenomenal food, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding staff. They go above and beyond to make your time there an elegant experience.
