- VVickiChicago / Illinois •30 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe enjoyed its convenience to Redtwist Theater. The food was made on site with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend the broccoli soup. Our server was delightful and efficient. Atmosphere is sophisticated and comfortable. This is clearly a place where people come both for just a cup of coffee or a nice sit-down meal. Don't be confused by the Julius Meinl signs on the outside. This is not just a coffee shop!More infoAll Meal Prep Kitchen & CafePrice: Moderate• Contemporary American• Edgewater•4.2
- LlaurelWashington, D.C. Area •32 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWe hadn’t been back to 501 since June. My husband has celiacs and some of the menu choices are limited. We were very happy with our experience. The food was wonderful -I had the tuna and highly recommend. We split lettuce wraps -delicious and each had the butternut squash soup-also delicious. Our server was excellent despite being the only server in the entire dining room. Our one complaint is the cold breeze that completely took over the dining room anytime someone entered the front door. It seems like an easy fix or at least one that a place of this caliber should address. They had a portable heater at the table closest to the door, not a promising sign! We did notice they turned the heat up but it dampened an other wise lovely meal. But when you’re paying nearly $100 per person that shouldn’t be part of the experience.More info501 LocalPrice: Expensive• Bistro• Winnetka•4.7
- PPatriciaChicago / Illinois •65 reviews5.0Dined on 18 Dec 2024Just about all of our food last night was top notch! The crab cakes, wedge salad and calamari were terrific appetizers. The upgrade to the onion soup was worth it - it was rich tasting and full of cheese. Our steaks were high quality beef cooked just right. The only disappointment was the carrot cake. It was not the usual layered cake loaded with cream cheese filling. It was almost black in color (couldn't find the carrots!) and had no frosting. I should have sent it back in retrospect. But we will be back! This is a very good steak house!More infoJameson's Charhouse - SkokiePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Skokie•4.5
