I don't want to spend more than $100. We generally don't order alcholic drinks or desserts. We do like appetizers, though. I'm looking for a nice place to have dinner the first night we are there, since it's our anniversary.

  • I love Giordano's stuffed or Lou Malnati's buttercrust for deep dish.  Those are my fav's!  I assume you'll be in the city correct?

  • Mexican:  Topolobampo (Rick Bayless' Mexican restaurant downtown...he also has a slightly less-uppity restaurant right by this one called Frontera Grill..very authentic and tasty Mexican food.)


    Italian (not pizza):  Gioco (in the South Loop...hip, but stays true to classic Italian flavors)


    Seafood:  I know it's a chain, but I love Roy's..it's an Asian-Hawaiian fusion place, and they have wonderful fish


    Steak:   Chicago Firehouse

    Pizza:  Giordano's
