We were visiting a friend in Chicago and he recommended we have dinner here Saturday night. We each ordered an entree and sides to share. The dry rubbed aged ribeye was amazing, but my husband thought the lamb took first place. The whole experience from oyster starters to choc cream pie dessert did not disappoint. Definitely make reservations!
We loved Bavette's! The atmosphere was nice and food was fantastic! We recommend starting at the Gilt Bar next door for a pre-dinner cocktail. Chicago has tons of great restaurants, so it has to be a pretty great spot for us to return - We will definitely be returning to Bavette's! Highly recommend!
The food was pretty good for a limited menu (including a gluten free option without additional price), the service quite fast considering you're at an airport, and the decor is standard Harry Caray's for nostalgia purposes.
For two of us, our meal came out to under $30, without alcohol. My partner had a soup/sandwich combo with frites, and I had a pulled pork sandwich with chips. The wait staff are in shirts and ties, and I was impressed by how accommodating they are with all of the luggage and bags being piled in there. From ordering to plates on table was under 10 minutes.
Overall, I'll go back when I'm at Midway in the future.
We loved our dinner. The best steak I have had in years! BRANDON IS THE BEST!! Ask for his table. The old fashion was a great drink, had never had one. Brought an extra appetizer just to be nice.
Went to Bavette's on our first night for a week-long trip to Chicago. Made reservations with OpenTable online for a Sunday night at 8pm. They called a few days before to confirm. We arrived and were seated promptly in the downstairs section. This restaurant has various great settings from the ground floor booths and bar to the basement level, which has stone walls and great candle-lit ambiance. The menu had a good variety of options. Our server was fantastic and explained everything thoroughly and provided great suggestions throughout the night. Was both upscale and down-to-earth at the same time. We each had a filet, tried bone marrow as a side, along with the crab mac and cheese. Everything was perfectly done. This is a fantastic place for a special occasion or simply a delicious meal. Not inexpensive, but worth it. You should go.

Bavette's Bar and Boeuf
Synopsis: Bavette's is an excellent restaurant with high quality food and very good service. It is a low key, cool spot for a great meal. The food here is great. I think they have the best Steak in Chicago and their seafood tower is very good! It is hard to get reservations but if you come in around 5:00 pm you can just grab a seat. Also, the maximum table group is 6. They keep it very intimate.
Venue: it is located in high street of West Kinzie Street
Experience:
The ambiance is excellent we found it very dark and cavernous. Service staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. We did have to adjust to the darkness. Make sure your waitress gives you a little flashlight to click some picture and way to sitting arrangement. Apart it Atmosphere was very nice. The crowd was between the age of 20-30yr. Since we had reservations and waited for 15/min to be seated, no room at the bar. Not a big deal.
I'm truly struggling to see how this restaurant earned a High reputation in this city. The place is beautifully decorated and the ambiance is extremely fun. The staff, especially the bartenders, was fantastic and professional. We had an 8:00 reservation, arrived at 7:40, made our way to the bar for a few drinks beforehand, and promptly seated by 8:10.
The place was packed so good job on running the front. Our first app was the baked goat cheese, it was terrible! The cheese was indistinguishable as it was completely drowned in an overly herbed sauce and served with garlic Texas toast. The garlic and herbs were so overpowering that it gave me instant indigestion. Our second course was a salad, which was fine, hard to ruin a salad. Even fast food restaurants get those rights at times! My Friend had the salmon and I had the burger. The salmon came alone without any accompaniments but was cooked as requested and tasted fine. The burger was less than mediocre for the price point it sells at, so not a good choice in my opinion. Overall, the restaurant was ok and we most likely ordered incorrectly, but a restaurant with a second place spot on TA should be better. I think the demographic of this restaurant is young adults so the reviews are higher than they should be.
Final word: We enjoyed Bavette's so much!!
Meal for two: $ 100/-

Superb steaks, sides, cocktails, and service with a beautiful speakeasy-style atmosphere.
I ordered the New York strip steak on special last Saturday night along with broccoli and a mint julep. The steak was thick, seared on the outside and perfectly medium-rare on the inside from the very first bite. The steak salt and béarnaise made the steak delicious! Also, the broccoli was some of the best I'd ever tasted, and was served with lemon juice in light olive oil instead of butter. We didn't have a reservation, so my wife and I ordered drinks from the bar. She got a wonderful old fashioned, a favorite of hers and a specialty of theirs, and I had a mint julep. The drinks were extremely tasty, well-balanced, and as strong as they should be.
Our server was excellent as well, as were all in his supporting cast. Our food arrived hot, we were well-stocked with bread and butter, and our waters were always full. My wife and I usually don't spend this much money eating out, especially back home in Cleveland, but the sensational ambiance and swankiness of Bavette's and the impeccable food, cocktails, and service were a perfect dinner for a very reasonable price in Downtown Chicago, where I suspect you could pay much much more for such a great experience.
Overall at least a 4.5. Food - Exellent. We were celebrating our 5th Wedding Anniversary and had a wonderfu time! We had the Smoked Trout Ceasar Salad, Charred Brussel Sprouts in a mustard based sauce, and an incredible 16 oz. Ribeye Chicago Cut. Service was outstanding at the bar upstairs, the hostess was so warm and welcoming and our waiter was on point with his recommendations and overall service! Ambience was exactly what we were looking for! Downstairs was perfect for a couple eating by candlelight was a very nice touch. The drinks were very good.
We will definitely be making it back to this place!
This is a fabulous, moody steak place with amazing side dishes, so the food is great! But for me it was about the drinks and the vibe! As I enjoyed my perfectly made dirty martini, it felt like at any moment some cool, jazzy singer would sashay up to a mike and do a set. I loved the velvet booths, low lights and dark atmosphere. So go grab a great steak and one of the best baked potatoes in town, but start with some drinks and good conversation. It’s that kinda place.
We waited 3 hours to get in. Please make a reservation 21 days before your visit to avoid such a long wait. The wagyu steaks are exquisitely good, but not worth the 3 hour wait. Porterhouse was ordered medium rare but came out as rare. Would go back for a special occasion and for a wonderful steak.
This is an excellent steakhouse in Chicago. Everything about it from the reception at the door and walking into the main dining room. The design, vibe, mood, music and lighting was on point. It set the tone and created the ambiance of what what turned out to be a wonderful dinner experience. The best part of the whole and most important was the menu and the quality of the steak. I had the bone in Filet. Perfection. The desserts where also a on point. I attached some pictures to this post. Great dinner and will return. Also to add that our server was great and he is what true hospitality is all about. I highly recommend this restaurant.
This visit to Bavette’s was our first but it DEFINITELY will not be our last. I recommend that you make reservations; we did and it was well worth it.
The ambiance is posh, without being pretentious. The food was delicious, seasoned to perfection, generously portioned, and easily shareable. The Spicy Fried Chicken was OUTSTANDING. The Chocolate Cream Pie was luscious and decadent. The Mac and Cheese was creamy and sumptuous.
The customer service was consistent across the team of servers who serviced our table. I highly recommend this hidden gem.
Bavatte's Bar & Boeuf is an upscale steakhouse restaurant. This was our first time coming here, and we enjoyed it very much. It was our anniversary, and our server, Nicky, brought us complementary wine. That was a very nice gesture. We ordered the bone marrow and the 10oz ribeye. The steak was superb! Cooked to perfection, and we enjoyed it so much! Recommend 100%
All of the steaks were cooked perfectly, tender and seasoned nicely. But, my favorite was that Lyonnaise Salad! The sides were all fine, but nothing memorable. Great place to go if you want to celebrate with someone whole loves meat.
Definitely lives up to the hype. One of the better ribeyes I’ve ever had. Great wine list. Service was amazing. Highly recommend!
Wow! Simply amazing. All the food was impeccably prepared, one of the best steaks I have ever had. We ate in the parlor which was pretty dark but very cool. The dining room upstairs looked like an equally memorable location. Steak was among the best I ever had. Homemade sourdough nearly perfect, sides all buttery and delicious and cooked to perfection. Service staff were very attentive and courteous and made sure the experience was impeccable. I will definitely be back if we should get the opportunity to return to Chicago. 5/5 A+++
What a treat to dine & drink here. The ambiance is so incredibly gorgeous. Such a diverse clientele and casual Dress code for such a divine experience. I would absolutely come back. Their New York steak (medium rare of course!) & Brussels side were mind blowing. I had my first chocolate martini (& then 2 others) as well as a penicillin. All made so well.
Busy but friendly, staff was very attentive but not overbearing. The cogac saserak was delicious and very well made! The portions were generous .My ribeye was just over medium as I requested and delicious! I The loaded baked potato turned out to be 2 perfectly cooked potatoes. IStrongly recommend this establishment if you want to enjoy a high quality meal in a laid back atmosphere with a very friendly and attentive staff!
