$$$$, Steakhouse, The Loop
Fodor's Review:
The Palm. If you're somebody in this town, your caricatured mug is hung here on the wood-paneled wall, a practice that feeds the egos of the Palm's power-player regulars. Sizeable steaks and even bigger lobsters sate their appetites. Chicago's soaring skyscrapers and Disney-esque Navy Pier provide distraction on the outdoor patio, making this an all-together handsome link in a national chain.
