• Steakhouse • River North (Chicago)
Booked 64 times today
Welcome to Hawksmoor Chicago, our biggest and boldest steakhouse yet, located in the iconic LaSalle Powerhouse in River North. We've brought everything we've learned from nearly 20 years in the UK, Ireland and the US to create something genuinely special in downtown Chicago - a city that knows and loves great steak. Named the World's Best Steak Restaurant and a James Beard Foundation semi-finalist, Hawksmoor is built on a simple philosophy: buy the best and let it shine. That means incredible beef from family-run farms across the Northeast and Pacific Northwest, cooked over open fire. Our responsibly sourced seafood from the Northeast is treated with the same care. In our 16,500 sq ft space, with barrel-vaulted ceilings and touches from Chicago's Golden Age of Travel, you'll find world-class dining without formality - no stiff uniforms or scripts, just relaxed, knowledgeable teams who love what they do. Join us for Happy Hour (daily 5-6pm), and our award-winning Sunday Roast.

• Japanese • West Loop
Booked 57 times today
The Izakaya is located on the subterranean level of Momotaro. The Izakaya and its shared-plates pub-inspired menu echoes the Yokocho street scene of Tokyo. Narrow lounge-inspired ‘alleys’ around a central bar bedecked with hand-painted Japanese menus, moody neon lights, and vintage Tokyo street signs set the scene for the Izakaya’s direct nod to Tokyo’s most famous post-war black markets. Dark, energetic, and ripe with expectation, the Izakaya additionally offers a 30-seat bar featuring crafted cocktails, sakes, and a quality selection of Japanese whiskeys. Parties and programming are no strangers to the Izakaya, where a rotating selection of events, including Monday Night Karaoke, feel right at home in this lively lower-level atmosphere.
