If you want a break from the traditional River North / Gold Coast steakhouses, then make make your way to Boeufhaus. They have something different without having to forego a high quality steak. The atmosphere is more of your typical Chicago neighborhood restaurant. Long and narrow with an amazing bar. The tables are close but did not prevent us from having a comfortable time. The food was amazing. My wife started with an excellent French onion soup which she said was very good. I skipped the app and went straight for the 55 day dry aged bone-in ribeye which was exceptional and rivaled any of the more famous steakhouses in the city. Perfectly cooked to medium rare and a wonderful earthy taste that comes with that level of aging. My wife chose the duck and raved about its flavor. We ended our meal with the sundae. It was fine but not stellar. Overall an over-the-top meal and will definitely be back!

This place has been on my list for many many years now and we finally made it out here for a special occasion. The ambiance is casual and industrial, it's a bit tight inside and the lighting is very dim. The dishes were nicely prepared and decadent. Overall, we had a very enjoyable dinner. I'd recommend this place if you are looking for a high-end steakhouse that isn't glitzy or bougie.

I never heard of this place, and decided to try it on a whim with my gf. We were in the area and felt like a good dinner. Walked in on a Thursday night; we had no reservation, but lucked out by getting the last open table at 730ish. The place is small, and there isn't much space between the few tables they have. But once we were seated, everything was a win. Tried the short rib beignets for an appetizer. Interesting sweet/savory mix; I dug it. For the main course, I went with the NY strip, fries and mushrooms. Every bite was excellent and nothing survived. That said, my gf had the lamb and she thought it was just ok. It was a large piece of meat but she didn't quite dig the flavor. We were too full for dessert, but did try several drinks. Do yourself a favor and try the Surfer on Acid.... It was incredible. My gf had the Healthy Option and that was really good too. The only drag for me is the proximity to other patrons. I don't like being super close to strangers when I'm dropping serious coin to dine. The characters at the table next to us were audible so I heard EVERYTHING discussed. So if you're looking for a super intimate evening, keep this in mind.

The night started off not so great, but the great server and food made the night great! I was craving dry aged steak...I know, very specific...but ever since David Burke closed its door, legit dry aged steak place is really hard to find... Heard great things about Beoufhaus for almost like a decade and finally tried it ...i still craved that taste of steak the next day. To top it off, they had the best escargot I have ever had...the freshest and the tastiest...it even beat those I have had in Europe...and our server was phenomenal with his service which made the night so much better! So what happened with that lost star? No where on their website nor resos process stated that diners should be 12+. I found out when I got the resos confirmation text the day of. And when I called to ask, they assured me that my kid would be welcomed and just that they don't have high chairs or kids menu. No issue since my kid is a steak monster! But I immediately felt being discriminated at arrival when I asked if we can be seated inside the restaurant instead of one of the tables by the door. I accepted the table since I understood the situation...but just felt like the communication could have been better about this and just be up front with us when I called...instead of setting up the expectation that we would be like other 'normal' party.
