Gibson's Steakhouse & Bar - Des Plaines

Best Steakhouse in Chicago. Got to finish of with the Macadamia pie!!

Had a very upsetting meal here we were seated 30 minutes after our reservation time, the server was very rude. Water was constantly empty and needed to ask someone to refill it. The steak were overcooked on the outside and flavorless. This place is not what it used to be.

Came in for lunch at 1pm. When i walked in there was no one available to check in with for a table for 1 until i asked a worker if i could get a table. My waitress gave me pleny of time to look at the menu and order my food and drink. Ordered the Charboiled burger medium rare. The burger was properly cooked but it was over seasoned. The paloma drink was pretty damn good.

We elected to dine at Gibson’s as we received multiple recommendations from friends. However, the experience fell way short. As for good, table was ready 15 minutes early, personable accommodating waiter, and sea bass was incredible. On the other hand, horrible atmosphere. Basically, the restaurant intended to put as many tables as possible in a single room, at the expense of any privacy. The surrounding tables were practically dining with us. Additionally, 14 oz filet mignon was ordered with high hopes but it was a big disappointment. As for my suggestion to anyone looking for options, STK Steakhouse, where we dined the night before, earned 5 stars in every single aspect.

Fish, perfect. Vegetables, good. Steak, had to cut the burn off the outsides, could only taste an overpowering burn taste. Shame.
