    Steakhouse 218 W Kinzie St Chicago, IL

    • Todd K.
      Todd Kuna: "Bavette's is actually BYOB. The unwritten rule is that you can bring a bottle of wine without any corkage fee, but you must share one glass of your wine with another patron, which we benefited from!"

    • My N.
      My Nguyen: "Serving sizes are HUGE. If you're getting a sundae, you should share it; super rich and decadent, a meal in and of itself"
