Gibsons

Whatever the season, Gibson’s is Chicago’s ultimate steakhouse. The outdoor section of this restaurant (outfitted with ceiling heaters, natch) is perenially packed with A-listers, executives and sports elite. Why? It’s the  orgy of marvelously marbled  prime ribs, charred chops and colossal lobster tails.  Not to mention the mountains of creamed spinach, the massive martinis and the exceptional service.
