\"\"My first mistake: I should have read the email confirmation. Then I\u2019d have clearly seen that Chicago Meatpackers has valet parking: a huge bonus given I\u2019d booked a weekend table at prime The Pointe fountain-watching time. My second mistake: waiting this long to visit what is arguably one of the best steak spots in the city. Carnivores should put this on their hit list pronto.\u00a0We\u2019d nabbed one of the popular al fresco tables \u2013 the restaurant is on two levels so if you don\u2019t see one free on the sprawling balcony on the ground floor, there\u2019s a more grown-up outdoor section upstairs. The combination of fresh air and table spacing is ideal for social distancing in Covid-times. Sanitizers sit discreetly\u00a0on every table, with the waiters managing to convey warm smiles despite their chic masks.<\/p>\n

We were here for the meat but were astonished by the number of vegetarian “Plant Powered” options on the menu. From crunchy eggplant burgers to (Beyond) Chicago hot dogs \u2013 not to mention a host of delicious starters, sides and crunchy salads that we could have easily made a meal out of on their own, there will literally be a comforting something-for-everyone here. There are also fish, chicken and lamb entrees if you want to veer away from beef. Our fried aged cheddar cheese curds \u2013 moreish and delicious, came swiftly to the table alongside the soy-caramel dressed crispy brussels sprouts. It was a tough choice to narrow down our options as the grilled bone marrow with chimichurri, sweetcorn with chipotle aioli, paprika-spiced tempura mushrooms and 24-marinated BBQ chicken wings had all also caught our eye.<\/p>\n

When we saw the main event \u2013 our 400g grain fed Wagyu rib-eye for two, served with two sides and two sauces \u2013 we were glad we had tempered our ordering as this was a serious, buttery cut that deserved savouring. The huge portion of mac \u2018n\u2019 cheese and parmesan truffle fries were the perfect accompaniment though the onion rings, charred broccolini and sweet potato fries also tempted. Burnt jalapeno butter and a b\u00e9arnaise completed the feast. We declined a glance at the dessert menu; until we saw a sizzling skillet containing a brown butter cookie with Valrhona chocolate being delivered to the table next door. This rich, gooey delight, which came topped with vanilla ice-cream was definitely worth the calories.<\/p>\n

The setting is as dreamy as the cuisine. Ring-side seating with Atlantis The Palm right in front, flanked by neighbouring resorts with the fountains in front, you couldn\u2019t get a prettier spot to perch. Families are made to feel welcome and usually gravitate towards the ground floor while groups of friends and couples step upstairs. Given its high-end carnivorous offerings and large portions, this meat haven offers up value for money. And, the puppy fraternity is welcomed at this dog-friendly joint too. We still haven\u2019t tried the Korean kimchi burger, the 24-hour slow cooked short rib and the strawberry shortcake so a return visit is definitely in order.<\/p>\n
