Going to be in Chicago over Easter Weekend. Already have plans for Easter, but any other suggestions for good restaurants in downtown Chicago? Have been to Ditka's and Harry Caray's. Thanks very much.
 
Dear Lord, there are a million, and of that million, roughly 175,000 are very good. What kind of food are you into? Steak or French or whatever, it's there.

Not sure where you live, but you need to try beers from Three Floyds (almost any of their beers) and Revolution (Anti Hero IPA) breweries...

Hard to go wrong, but if you like steak try Gibson's, or for a new popular place, Maple and Ash. If you like French, Les Nomades. If you want an upscale romantic Italian place, try Spiaggia. For a great all-around place, try North Pond, in the Lincoln Park Zoo.
 
Benny's Chop House for dinner with music ( jazz ) or Fireside for steak.

Portillo's for the famous roast beef lunch sandwich dipped in juice. killer. get it loaded with giardiner.

but yeah, the city is loaded with restaurants.

great long bar at Millers, got loaded in there twice, the bar tender said their fish for Friday nights was frozen, not legit.

we also dine at an Italian restaurant called Francesca's. there are a couple in the area. Very reasonable cost and some of the best food I have ever had.

Just want to thank everyone for all of the feedback. It is greatly appreciated. If I can ever return the favor, please let me know.
 
For a break get some wings @ Jake Melnick's. Be very careful though. Some are stupid hot.
