55 day aged bone-in ribeye was just bad. Tough with lots of gristle. 45 dollar shoe leather.

I have been here 3 times since it has opened and am dying to go back. It is phenomenal. I love the popovers they give you to start, instead of normal bread. The 55 day dry aged steak melts in your mouth and all the sides are wonderful. A++++

I was in Chicago for a conference and the concierge and a personal friend said, "go to David Burke's, it's the best" I found the wine, service, sides, and atmosphere to be excellent. I ordered a $53 porterhouse and was extremely disappointed in it. For that money it should have melted in my mouth. I hope that it was just a bad night.

I cannot say enough about this place. My wife and I went there a few nights ago for our 25th Annv. We sat at the bar for about a half an hour, before taking our table. The bar staff was great! Andy, our bartender was very entertaining and provided ptional service. That was the highlight of our meal for sure. Not to say our meal was anything less than supurb. I had the 55 day aged ribeye and the wife had the "Southside" bone in filet as reccomended to us by Andy as his favoritie cut on the menu. They were both fabulous! The price was very fair. You are not getting Ponderosa steak so dont expect Ponderosa prices. The service in the restaurant was a little bit stuffy but still very solid. I would reccomend this joint for anyone who has a special occasion or deep pockets. I give it 4.75 stars out of 5.

My visit to DB Primehouse was outstanding! I have never tasted a steak so good I can't wait to go back. I just made reservations for myself and my boyfriend for a Valentines present to both of us. Yes, it is pricey, but well worth it. I would recommend it to anyone that is not afraid of spending some $$$ for a litlle taste of Heaven...

I thought it was worth the price. It was a pretty expensive lunch but I didn't regret to pay that much for that experience. The steak I ordered was perfectly cook (based on my judgement). The texture of the meat was excellent. I had no complain regarding to the steak at all. The only issue is the price because it is not something I can afford everyday. Check the price and you know what I mean. Plus, don't expect there will be any side. It was just a steak on a plate.

As a huge fan of David Burke & Donatella in New York, I eagerly anticipated the arrival of David Burke Primehouse here in Chicago. A few old favorites carried over from the NYC menu continue to dazzle- the "Angry Lobster Cocktail" is whimsical and delicious, and the Lollipop tree is delightful. However, the buck stops there. Everything outside of the realm of the tried and true David Burke & Donatella carryovers was totally uninspiring. Primehouse's main fare- steaks and corresponding sides are fair to mediocre and very expensive for something that just totally fails to dazzle. I don't mind paying a lot for food, but if something is expensive the dish must justify the price tag. In a town of excellent steakhouses- arguably the best steak town in the US- David Burke's Primehouse is a disappointment and not worth the expense. The service was great, very attentive and honest- but unfortunately the food is why one goes to a restaurant. The best service in the world can't make up for subpar fare.
