Michael Walsh Appraiser: Today I am having the chop steak
Ben: Their omelets are the best in town. Also the steak and eggs is a great deal.
Shaun 'Pink' Pinkston: There are parking meters all around-good luck finding one at the right time, but if you park in the lot behind & across the street from the liquor store, Valois will validate - up to an hour - free!

Crain's Chicago Business: Aged beef is the strength here, whether as petite filet or chopped steak, the latter essentially an oval-shaped, highly seasoned burger sans bread. It's a throwback dish, but tasty and a great choice Read more.
Jeff: Our overall favorite Chicago Steakhouse. Great local feel located right on the Chicago River.
Jorge Amaya: The lava cake was good. And try the patio area! Great place to be at sunset!

Park · River North · 16 tips and reviews
Donna Johnson: This park is small but has something for everyone. A walk along the river, hills for picnics, a lot of benches for reading, a dog park, a playground for kids and it is near restaurants.
Kevin Newby: On a cold, sunny day, lay down on the play surface and act like a cat.
Kenny K: Expanded park reopened 7/19/12 with more swings, patio tables w/shade covers, and large half dome climbing structures. Renamed Montgomery Ward Park. Finally! They got it right this time.
