    Outstanding!!! Caesar salad, filet medium rare and onion rings spot on. Was not disappointed in 2006 and 20 years later still in the top tier!

    There is a reason that G & G has been around for 80 years. Consistency! Top notch service, the feel of an old NY Italian steakhouse, professional staff and good food. Sure, Chicago has many outstanding steakhouses - but none can beat the classic charm of G &Gs.

    Our family was celebrating a milestone event and the birthday girl wanted Gene and Georgetti. The wait staff was great, including their trainee! The food was amazing and the “at home” environment made for a wonderful experience had by all. We’ll be back. Thanks, G&G for making this a memorable visit.

    Rib eye was amazing. Porterhouse made me feel like home. Brussels sprouts and bacon is awesome. Roasted potatoes with garlic tasted delicious. And their onion rings are great, just add some salt They lived up to the expectations

    Tables are small and close. Food was great. Wine list was different set up than expected. Had a difficult time moving to and from table.
