    Food (steak, grilled calamari, cottage fries) was excellent, service was better, Manhattan was mid. Not my first trip, won’t be my last since I live in the neighborhood, always an enjoyable stop. Little spendy, overall worth it for a Chicago institution.

    We had an amazing dinner at Gene & Georgetti’s while visiting Chicago! The atmosphere was classic and welcoming, and the service was excellent. Our waiter recommended the NY strip, and it was cooked to perfection—exactly to our liking. We also tried the legendary Garbage Salad, which lived up to its reputation. Everything was flavorful and well-prepared. We’ll definitely consider returning for another great steak the next time we’re in town!
