Bavette's Bar & Boeuf Chicago Reviews
Top class steaks and cocktails
High quality and tasty steak. Nice atmosphere if a little dark inside. Tasty cocktails and good wines. A draft beer option would be a great addition. Really enjoyed visiting and will definitely go back.
10/10!!! Everyone raves about this place and it definitely
10/10!!! Everyone raves about this place and it definitely lives up to the hype. The steak was incredible and the sides were delicious. The creamed spinach was my favorite. Our server was excellent and guided us through the menu. It was my birthday and I got a salted caramel ice cream with hot fudge to go with it. I look forward to coming back
One of the best shoots in Chicago.
All the dishes were amazing! The handmade sourdough is one of the best!
Our favorite restaurant in Chicago by far! The best
Our favorite restaurant in Chicago by far! The best Brussels you'll eat in your life. So good you could eat them as a meal! We got them as our appetizer. Also the Mac and cheese, spiced chicken were on point. The darkness of the ambiance makes Bavette's so romantic. The service is always great too!
Best Steakhouse
10 years living in Chicago, at least 15 visits to Bavette’s and it’s always been the best steakhouse in Chicago. Excellent cuts, great service, and incredible atmosphere. Can’t go wrong with their sides or seafood tower but the Dry Aged meats are phenomenal. If you’re looking for a good steakhouse in Chicago, this is where to go.

First time here, the food, the service and vibe were simply amazing. Really enjoyed our experience here
Food was good, ambiance was great.
Our server was MIA a lot of the time. It took forever to get our bill when we were clearly done for a while. A bit over priced for the quality in my opinion.
10/10 best steakhouse.
Get the bone in rib-eye and the truffle Mac and you won't go wrong. Service was phenomenal and from the hostess to the every waiter.
We wanted a romantic night out with some great food so we
We wanted a romantic night out with some great food so we decided to try this restaurant. I wouldn't say they were super romantic romantic. It is a very nice ambience inside however, it's very loud and the tables are very close together. It's not as intimate as I hoped it would be. If you're looking for a more romantic restaurant, I suggest you tried their sister restaurant Ciccio Mio next door. We ordered quite a bit of food for two people and left with a ton of leftovers. We got the fried chicken, which is a huge plate of three chicken breasts. It was delicious. We also ordered the mac & cheese the sourdough bread (which is gigantic) and the Chicago cut ribeye. I was in my favorite thing was the fried chicken. We also got the chocolate cake and a side of ice cream which was the perfect pairing. Since the restaurant is so loud and there's a lot of hustle and bustle the service was a little weird. I feel that our server was coming over it very scattered and random times. Overall, our experience was good
Host staff were very rude and dismissive.
Walked in to 3 of them talking. Had to get their attention and ask if I came in the correct door. They said yes and Told me to go in. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to seat myself or go to bar. Come back out to ask and host said condescendingly that I can sit at the bar, which was obviously packed and she could see that.
A Chicago Dining Gem
Bavette's Bar & Boeuf is a gem in Chicago's dining scene! The vintage ambiance with dim lighting and classic decor creates a cozy and sophisticated atmosphere. The steak is phenomenal, cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The sides and desserts are equally impressive, especially the truffle mac & cheese and chocolate cream pie. The cocktails are expertly crafted, and the service is attentive and friendly. Perfect for a special night out or a romantic dinner. Highly recommend!
Wow ! What a treat ! Ddsjdj did Jen jsndbdnd I do not want
Wow ! What a treat ! Ddsjdj did Jen jsndbdnd I do not want to write additional words ... the place it excellent
Had to write another review bc of how much we love Bavettes.
We are never let down when we come here. The service is superb, the food is delicious, we have the best time whenever we come here. This time, we tried the salmon crudo and it is very good. I also tried the short rib stroganoff for the first time and it might be my new favorite dish. They brought out 2 sundaes w candles for both me and my husband's bdays. They just do it right every time and we appreciate it so much!
RATED ONE OF THE BEST STEAKHOUSES IN THE WORLD - and I agree!
I can definitely see why it was rated one of the best steakhouses in the world. It was AMAZING! But they have so many awesome dishes - try the Wagyu burger, fried chicken and beef stroganoff, too. EVERYTHING was amazing! Great staff and service, too! HIGHLY recommended!
Try the Bone Marrow!
Good service and great food. Tried the oysters, bone marrow, filet mignon and ribeye. The bone marrow’s out of the world and a must-try! Overall experience was good and certainly made our 11 hour layover in Chicago worth it!
Food was amazing, great crust and seasoning on steak.
Mashed potatoes were great. Really nice service and vibes of the restaurant as well!
Bavette’s 💥💥💥
Great reviews, from friends and acquaintances, drew us to Babette’s. Needless to say, it lived up to all the hype or I wouldn’t bother wring a review. Our reservation was at 3:15pm - because we were 2 days late on making a reservation based on their 21 day reservation cycle. The Japanese whisky old fashioned was unique and smooth (I’d try that again), and the Champaign Smash (gin / Champaign…) was just as good. We ordered sourdough bread and butter in addition to shrimp scampi and a wedge salad as appetizers. The shrimp were BIG, buttery and HOT. The mains were aged NY Strip and filet mignon with truffle mac & cheese and roasted brussels sprouts. The steaks were cooked to perfection based on our varied request. The brussels sprouts were good, but the mac & cheese may have been the best I’ve ever tried - creamy, not too savory. Dessert consisted of chocolate pie with cream. The semi-sweet cream offset the rich, dark chocolate pie, and a cappuccino only enhanced it all. I’d definitely eat here again.
The food and service were absolutely amazing! The chocolate
The food and service were absolutely amazing! The chocolate pie for desert was not too heavy but just right. This is worth the hype. I was a little upset to learn about the corkage fee changing to a normal price instead of sharing a glass with someone. Either way It was divine and I'll be back!
It's a good steakhouse but not mind blowing.
The only fault in the night was that they cooked the New York Strip wagyu to rare when it should have better medium rare. It's hard to tell with the dark lighting, so you need to use your phone to check when your food comes out. Also, you have to salt your own steak. This is a place where you have seasoning salt at your table, and you have to salt each piece after you cut it. I personally used a lot of salt, so you may need to ask for more. Sizzling Shrimp Scampi - $25.99 - You get 6 maybe U-10 size shrimp with 4 giant pieces of garlic bread. Is this worth $25.99? Probably not. The shrimp is good, the sauce is good, and the bread is just okay. The bread needs to be dipped into the sauce to make it tasty, don't try to eat it plain. It's good, but you may want to try another dish. 4/5 stars. Classic Ribeye Chicago Cut 16oz - $74.99 - My steak was cooked perfectly with a good crust. I just didn't realize that there are steakhouses that make you salt your own steak. You need a lot of the salt to make it tasty. The bearnaise was kinda plain. 4.5/5 stars. Bone In New York Strip - $109.99 - This one was not cooked to medium rare. When I tried it, I noticed something was wrong, and that's when I used my phone to check the cook. Flavor wise, I thought my ribeye was better. 4/5 stars. Creamed Spinach - $15.99 - I didn't really notice the blue cheese, so if that makes you hesitant, don't worry about it. It's good but very cheesy. 5/5 stars. Elote Style Corn - $14.99 - This is not made with tajin, so there's no chemical taste. Real chili and lime flavor. This was my favorite side dish. 5/5 stars. Truffle Mac & Cheese - $15.99 - Good flavor and okay portion. The waitress said it was the most popular side dish. It's decent, but it still wasn't anything special. It's a fine choice if you want pasta. 5/5 stars. We thought the sides were better than the steak. The steaks are fine, but you really need a lot of salt to get good flavor out of it. For the price, you could definitely go elsewhere and get the same flavor. Service is good. Atmosphere was romantic.
Bavette's Bar & Boeuf in Chicago is a culinary masterpiece
Bavette's Bar & Boeuf in Chicago is a culinary masterpiece that left me speechless. From the moment you walk in, you're transported to a bygone era of glamour and sophistication. The menu is a celebration of classic steakhouse fare, with a modern twist. I started with the shrimp cocktail, which was perfectly cooked and served with a tangy cocktail sauce. For my main course, I indulged in the dry-aged ribeye, and it was a revelation. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare, the steak was tender, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The ambiance at Bavette's is unparalleled. The dim lighting, plush leather booths, and vintage decor create an atmosphere that is both elegant and inviting. The service was also exceptional, with attentive staff who anticipated my every need. While Bavette's is on the pricier side, the experience is well worth it. It's the perfect spot for a special occasion or a memorable night out.
I'm not sure how anyone could not give Bavette's a 5-star
I'm not sure how anyone could not give Bavette's a 5-star rating. Between the food, the drinks, the ambiance, and the service, there's not much they can improve on. It's only my 2nd time here and I have no idea why I don't come here more often. Probably the difficulty in getting a table during normal dinner hrs. Our reservation was for 3:45pm and I'm actually glad it was so early. I was still full at 1am. I can't imagine eating that any later. So worth it though
Went for my birthday dinner and everything was top notch,
Went for my birthday dinner and everything was top notch, from the food to the service and everything in between. The seafood was amazing paired with their steaks. I got the punch and really liked that drink! Will be a long time customer.
Everything about this place was great.
Would rate 10 stars if I could from the service to the food. Obed was great and even made some great recommendations.
Bavette's was such a vibe! We came for our birthday and the
Bavette's was such a vibe! We came for our birthday and the entire restaurant made us feel so special. I wish I could remember the name of our waitress because she was such a ray of light. I would want to come back and request her all the time if I lived in Chicago. The restaurant was stunning inside, giving you a taste of what Chicago looked like in the past. The restaurant was perfect for an intimate dinner with you and a few friends, and the food was *chef's kiss*! Everything came out piping hot, flavorful, and in decent portions --by the time we left I was thankful that I had a long coat to cover my belly I ordered the Petite Duchess Cut Filet Mignon, which was cooked perfectly and melted in my mouth. I love that it came with béarnaise sauce bc that's my jam! I knew what I wanted and it satisfied my red meat craving. We also ordered the truffle Mac and cheese which was the perfect mix of creamy, savory, and filling. The elote was good too but next time we'll def try the buttery mashed potatoes. My friend ordered the spiced fried chicken and it was so good but at that point, I was already so full. Great place to celebrate something special or gather with friends. Will def be stopping by again our next time in Chicago or Vegas.
The food here was delicious.
Sad I hadn't made it here sooner. Had a ribeye steak shared sides fries, whipped mash, and their Mac n cheese. I must say the fries were so good with the steak. Also had well made margaritas. Ambiance is dark romantic, loud, and elegant all at once. I sat downstairs which was a little more calm than upstairs on a Friday night. Recommendation for reservations is 21 days before you need to go. This will guarantee you a spot almost always.
The food was fantastic and the service was excellent.
The only complaint I had was that it was noisy. It was very busy and the tables are close together. Other than that, we enjoyed our meal as well as the hostess and the server. I will go back.
Superb.
Great atmosphere and setting .Amazing mixologists, fantastic food and good value . Highly recommended. Central Chicago . I would suggest making a reservation in advance, particularly at the weekend or close to the weekend .
Great atmosphere, even better food!
Loved the drinks, atmosphere and food! The wedge salad is the best wedge we’ve ever had. Homemade ranch dressing with fresh herbs, peppercorns and bacon. The bacon was thick, more like pork belly, with an excellent flavor. I had the bone-in filet and my husband had the rib eye. The filet was better in our opinion. If you’re a fan of mushrooms, order them! They come with French fried onions served on top. The food is very rich so just know that going in. It was fabulous on a blustery, cold Chicago Friday night. Can’t wait to go back!
It was just ok — very heavy food.
The restaurant has nice ambiance & decor, but the food was just ok. Based on the reviews, we expected so much better. The shrimp scampi was too spicy & the butter it was cooked in had too much lemon in it. The goat cheese had some sort of honey mixed in with it, which ruined the goat cheese taste for me. The crab avocado salad was just ok. For entrees, I ordered the prime beef sandwich. It was just ok. My husband ordered the wagu NY strip steak. That was good. For sides, the mushrooms were really good, but you can’t eat too much of it because it is very rich/heavy. The truffle Mac & cheese was good, but again very creamy/heavy so you can’t eat too much of it. Perhaps we should have tried the seafood.
Favorite Dinner Spot in the City!
Bavette's never disappoints! The food and drinks are incredible and consistently on point. Some of our favorites and not to be missed: Bacon, Wedge Salad, French Dip, Short Rib Stroganoff, Truffle Mac & Cheese, and of course the steaks are delicious and always cooked to perfection. Our favorite drinks are the Bavette's Punch and Tokyo Old Fashioned, although you can't go wrong as they're all well-made and balanced.
Exquisite! But book within minutes of the dates being released! And order the mushrooms!!
Family trip to Chicago and this was on the top of our list to try. It certainly didn’t disappoint. As soon as you walk in, you are transported by the beautiful ambiance. Every staff member was so kind, professional, and helpful. You can feel the pride of the food. We ordered the sourdough, roasted chicken, dutches cut tenderloin, asparagus, mushrooms, & chocolate pie. Everything was outstanding and huge portions! The mushrooms might have even been the favourite, if you can believe it! My steak was a bit under what I ordered (medium well) and they were so kind and professional in fixing that for me very quickly. As well, they brought a delicious gelato and hot fudge on the house for celebrating a birthday. Thanks Bavette’s!
One of the best in Chicago
I visited Chicago to celebrate my sons 26th birthday and this was his choice for a special dinner. I got a reservation 21 days beforehand at exactly 9am and was lucky to secure a 6:45 table in the bar area, which was a dimly lit special spot downstairs. We loved it! We started with some sourdough and the most amazing peppered bacon with roasted tomato and watercress salad! If I couldve eaten this salad as an entree I wouldve been happy. It went great with the wine and espresso martini we ordered. For entrees, my daughter and I both had the lobster frites, which was superb..the bernaise sauce complemented the lobster perfectly and the fries were delish too. My son had his first experience with a wagyu bone in NY strip steak, which he absolutely loved. He also had the asparagus and fries. For dessert, out lovely server overheard it was my sons birthday and brought over some ice cream with a candle which was so nice, but we also ordered an absolutely huge ice cream sundae that had every candy and topping imaginable, and we also got the carrot cake. All were amazing. The service was great and loved the vibe. One of my favorite meals of all time! It was pricey..over $500 for the three of us, but you get what you pay for!! Will return next time I am in town.
So tasty and great value!
This restaurant lives up to the hype! I had the petite duchess cut of filet mignon, creamed spinach and truffle Mac and cheese. The food was delicious - steak was cooked just the way I like (medium rare), creamed spinach was tasty, and the Mac and cheese is probably the BEST I’ve ever had, wow. The Bavette’s punch cocktail was also delicious - you cannot taste the booze in that drink, you’ve been warned! Service was also very good - my server was really nice and friendly even though she was very busy, and my food and drinks came out in a timely fashion. The vibe is also very cool - think speakeasy jazz vibes (they were playing jazz in the dining room). It was like entering another world. I would gladly dine here again when in Chicago.
Make a reservation as soon as they open up!
We found that a table for two at this incredible restaurant was difficult to come by, but even logging onto the website ahead of time and trying to get a prime dinner time, we missed it. We were able to get a later dinner time and just adjusted our schedule to fit this time and we are so glad we did. An experience not to be missed! Delicious food and drinks, service and setting. What more could you want?
Before this last dinner, I've given Bavette's 5 stars for
Before this last dinner, I've given Bavette's 5 stars for all former visits. Maybe it's a new chef, maybe it's that Bavette's is still coming out of a pandemic slump, but having been here umpteen times in the past, and only having one "miss", our last dinner experience doesn't bode well for future visits. Shrimp cocktail? Why have you changed purveyors of those amazing huge and delectable shrimp? Instead of those, we were served a larger serving of a passable small shrimp, that looked rather ridiculous on the huge ice-mounded bowl. Shame. Steak tartare is still amazing. As well as the Lyonaise salad and chocolate creme pie. Bone-in strip steaks first arrived medium to medium-well, despite having been ordered medium-rare. I only needed to use my (clean) knife to test the doneness. The steak was so firm I knew it wasn't cooked correctly. We sent them back, and they returned better, but still slightly over-cooked. Maybe medium-rare to medium? Admittedly, I'm a steak snob, having worked at one of Chicago's famous steak houses in the 90's. Yep, I'm (that) old. Still. The bone-in strip did not seem to quite reach the 14oz threshold, and it was so full of sinew it was difficult to chew/eat. Having already returned the first set of steaks for being very overcooked, we didn't want to return the replacements as well. But for $80 apiece, we expect better. Eric is still, in my opinion, the best server around -- knowledgeable, personable, has timing nailed down, intelligent, dry sense of humor, and we request one of his tables every time. We'll try again, but maybe pass on the steaks -- a sad statement for what is or was one of the best steakhouses in the City.
Phenomenal.
Great food. Amazing staff. Perfect atmosphere. I could eat that wedge salad every day!
Probably the best steakhouse I've ever been to.
The atmosphere is second to none and the food lives up to the environment provided. When I'm back in Chicago, this is the place I will go for a steak dinner.
The food is better than any restaurant in Chicago.
Get the bone marrow/ crab cake/ wedge salad/ steak and some sides. Ball out and get it all. Service is amazing. Go to the basement and see Chris the bartender. Makes exquisite drinks and keeps them coming. Ambiance is wonderful too. Feels very prohibition era but it's really not that old. Can't ask for more.
Amazing place.
Perfect speak easy for a nice dinner date. If you're here for pics, it could be a bit incisive bc it's a bit dark inside. However go! Reserve ahead and you won't be dissatisfied.We've been here once and they never brought my husband's steak (they forgot), but quickly fixed the issue and didn't charge us for the meal. I will say it was a busy night but the fact they did so much to make it right was very much appreciated and worth the return! We planned for our staycation but our reservations got canceled due to a family ERFollow me in real-time on IG: @damnthosesteaktacos to see all my adventures!
Wow! A little pricey but worth every penny.
If you are second guessing the choice, don't. So delicious. And the ambiance puts it over the top. Dark and cozy, relaxed atmosphere.
Fabulous! Well-deserving of the praise it gets, re: FOOD,
Fabulous! Well-deserving of the praise it gets, re: FOOD, ambiance & service. Make it a date night or chance it as a food exploration expedition at the bar. Every bite was delicious. I wish I lived closer and not 2500 miles away...
Finally scored a decent reservation at this steak house
Finally scored a decent reservation at this steak house staple. I waited longer than my dry aged New York strip, which was cooked to perfection. Usually, I do not give off five stars without a handful of visits to ensure consistency but this establishment met all those and some by a long shot. Service was stellar from the start. We arrived a little earlier than our reservation, no problem grabbed a drink by the bar. Although it was hard to get a bartenders attention standing behind bar patrons whom were already sitting at the bar.. no problem we managed. We were seated a little after our reservation and greeted again immediately by our server. Drink order taken. We eventually ordered oysters(east coast only available) which were tasty, fresh and garnished with the freshest sides. My girlfriend ordered the 10oz traditional filet mignon medium/rare topped with roasted garlic(so tender was like slicing butter), I ordered the 14oz 42dry-aged bone in New York strip medium/rare, which left my mouth watering for more. So tender I thought I was cutting butter as well. They give you a side of seasoning salt to add to ur steak as preferred. Which we loved. Also a side of garlic/parsley butter i believe(might be wrong but was still mouth watering). And of course we ordered the roasted bone marrow w/side of caramelized onions...and omg., for 25.95 you get 5 huge bones w/ a hefty half loaf of fresh baked sour dough bread(full on drool mode).. ok ok... now off to the sides we ordered the button mushrooms which had too be the best I've ever had... and I've had some mushrooms from all over. The Mac and cheese was just as great, definitely in my top 10 Mac and cheese categories.. from a steak house stance in my top five. Unfortunately, my girlfriend and I did not have room for dessert in which we both regret as the whole dessert menu seemed unremarkable.. not too mention the dessert espresso martini sounded just as good with a slice of cake. Overall counting the days before I return.. classic setting, I hear the basement is more intimate and shaped like a cellar, upstairs is little more loud, you see the open bar and beautiful chandeliers. Drinks tried, mezcal corpse reviver(tasted like a classic "last word").This most enjoyed drink order was the Bavette's punch with mezcal instead of rum. If I'm not mistaken..(thank me later)
Simply amazing food and great ambience.
I highly recommend this restaurant especially for a special occasion.
Food: We came for the steaks and stayed for the sides and
Food: We came for the steaks and stayed for the sides and dessert. Everything was outstanding! As a personal preference, I believe the "normal" ribeye was better than the dry-aged, especially for the price. The truffle mac was a big hit, along with the mashed potatoes and broccoli. If you are a fan of bone marrow, don't skip it here - it was absolutely stellar. The drinks were done well, I got the old fashioned and it was pretty standard. Service: The service was fantastic. Great recommendations on food, portion size. Attentive. Ambiance: The ambiance here is the best. Dark, old-timey, cozy. The place you find yourself wanting to go to for a good cocktail. Overall: Is it expensive? Oh yeah. Was it worth it? Absolutely.
Our first night here was magical.
We did not have a reservation on New Years Eve but the hostess informed us to come in as early as possible to get a seat at bar and SURPRISE!! We walked into two seats at the bar. The bartender was excellent, the atmosphere was perfect for conversation and laughter. The food melted in my mouth as I swung my feet back and fourth like a 12 year old eating a sundae.
Lauren our server was great! Very energetic, quick , and
Lauren our server was great! Very energetic, quick , and knew it was my birthday! Obsessed with Bavettes and cannot wait to return! Not only were the drinks outstanding but the food omg love the experience and the feeling of not being rushed out was great. Its very dark downstairs where we were seated but loved the entire vibe of the restaurant. Mini flashlights needed to read the menu , other then that top notch.
We had family visiting and on a whim was able to snag a
We had family visiting and on a whim was able to snag a table at Bavette's for dinner. After hearing everyone rave about this place, I couldn't wait to try it for myself! We were seated downstairs, and after seeing how the restaurant filled in when we left, I am glad we were down there. It was much more intimate than the upstairs and gave the meal a completely different feel. The service was top-notch. From start to finish our server and the support staff were attentive in bringing food, refilling drinks, and checking in on us. I could not have asked for anything more. Our server walked us through the menu and explained each of the cuts of meat in great detail. They also made recommendations for popular side dishes and drinks. We started with the Steak Tartare and it was one of the best I've had. The flavors from the meat came through so well and the texture of the dish was perfect. We ordered the bone-in filets along with the truffle mac & cheese and thick-cut bacon. The only regret I had from the meal was ordering the bacon. While it was good, it didn't blow me away and I would have rather ordered a different dish instead. But everyone has different tastes. We finished the meal with two desserts, because why not! I went into dessert looking forward to the Carrot Cake and it turns out that the Strawberries & Cream won my heart. It was exceptional and I absolutely will be ordering it again next time. Bavette's lived up to the hype and I am so glad I was able to get in for a visit, especially while having family in town to enjoy a quintessential Chicago restaurant. If you're able to get a reservation, be ready for one heck of a meal!
My family took me here for the first time for my Birthday.
Excellent choice. We had make reservations weeks in advance. We were greeted by excellent staff and the ambiance was nice. I ordered the half chicken with mashed potatoes and it was delicious. I will most definitely recommend and return to Bavette's.
Amazing steakhouse! My favorite restaurant in the world.
Every time I go to Chicago I try to get in at Bavette's. Truly an amazing meal and experience. I highly recommend the aged NY steak. This is the only place I order a NY. Service is impeccable.
