Located in the midst of Chicago’s famed theater district, The Grillroom offers an upscale yet friendly destination for theater-goers, lunching business people and diners looking for a great meal and welcoming service. Many of the attentive staff members have been part of The Grillroom family since its inception in 2000, and are a keystone element in the restaurant’s continued commendation. Featuring a diverse menu that boasts everything from dinner salads to crab-stuffed shrimp to USDA Prime steaks, The Grillroom’s fare is nothing short of hearty and delectable. The menu is updated twice a year, shifting mainly to accommodate seasonal changes in local markets. The tone in the restaurant is set to enhance the impressive list of food and wine options, flaunting sharp, masculine décor above candlelit tables and white linen cloths. The separate bar area is perfect for drinks before or after dinner, and houses the restaurant’s acclaimed wine bar.

Best restaurant to eat at before a marathon. -Food Network Magazine
