Benny’s Chop House by Phil Vettel
A classic steakhouse (and sister property to Volare, in Streeterville) that offers the expected range of beefy choices, along with a short list of “all natural” steaks. Distinguishing features include Chef Jonathan Lane’s clever menu touches, a relatively quiet dining room and a very pleasant front lounge with piano bar. Recommended: Fish salad, tater tots, filet mignon, Cajun tenderloin. Open: Lunch and dinner Monday-Sunday. Entree prices: $21.99-$52.99. Credit cards: A, DC, DS, M, V. Reservations: Strongly recommended. Noise: Conversation-friendly. Other: Wheelchair accessible, valet parking.
