An unbelievable experience for my first trip to Chi-town.
(Sorry for the delay but this was in late May of 2023). But, nonetheless. I keep talking about this place to friends and finally buckled down to write my review. They took a last minute reservation for my 50th bday after another competitor screwed

One word: INCREDIBLE! I visited Bavette's for my birthday while in Chicago, and it exceeded every expectation. Even on a Wednesday night, the place was packed--so definitely make a reservation. I was lucky to snag a single seat at the downstairs
The best ribeye steak I've had in Chicago.
The atmosphere is very well done - soft lighting and a classy interior. The service was excellent. I'd come back in a heartbeat.

YOU MUST EAT AT BAVETTE'S! This is a Chicago staple and has been around for years and dare I say it's one of the few places where the quality hasn't been compromised and the service is consistent. Getting in can be a bit of a challeng

We sat downstairs and it was such a lovely, private feeling space for a special occasion. We started with delicious oysters. I love that you can order as few as you want (we each just had two--one of each type). The beef tartare was delicious. We ord

This was the best meal I had in Chicago.
The vibes of the old school steakhouse were perfection, dripping in crystal chandeliers and red booths with waiters in tuxedos. Our server wished me "happy birthday" no less than 15 times and goddamn if that didn't feel special. The

Trivia: True or False, their website gives a detailed history of their establishment in Chicago. (The answer might surprise you). We stopped by for drinks on a Monday and it was packed. They were accommodating and said we could grab a drink at th

Just wow honestly some of the best food I've ever had in my 24 years of living. Service was amazing, the servers were on point every single time no misses. The ambiance was nicely dimmed and welcoming!
We found Bavette's through yelp.
We went there for our anniversary and this place is one of the best fine dining places I've gone to. The ambience and aesthetic is incredible. Our waitress was so professional. She had great recommendations. Her name was Danielle. We started wi

The best burger of my life! Server was awesome- she paid attention to food allergies thoroughly. We enjoyed her taking a few extra minutes to chat during the course of our meal.
I've heard wonderful things about this steakhouse for years.
My husband and I decided to finally make it happen. With a newborn and a 3 1/2 year-old. Brave? Insane? Maybe both. The restaurant was sure to let us know ahead of time that they allow children, but do not provide special seating for them. Not a prob
Service waa excellent.
Downstairs way too dark and freezing. NY strip was chewy but management graciously comped it. Ribeye mostly fat so only got a few bites. Small selection of meats without bones. Sourdough bread the best part of the meal. Corn and mushrooms sides were
The salads were the best part of the dinner.
Went with two friends. Our salads were wonderful and the atmosphere was great, but the steak and sides were a bit of a let down. I would not go back again.
Almost Perfect
The Hits: The steaks are cooked perfectly, the roasted chicken is very tasty, and the sourdough bread is truly exceptional. The service team is a major asset—very friendly and efficient.The Miss: The branzino was a letdown and didn't match the

A Wonderful Dining Experience!
My Dad and I joined friends for dinner at Bavette's and the experience did not disappoint. From the moment we entered, we were well taken care of. We were seated promptly with our reservation in a booth with good view of the dining room. The mar
Good but a little disappointing
My husband went online the second reservations opened up for the day we wanted to eat here. In the time it took for him to complete reservations, he lost three time slots. (He is not THAT slow on his phone, so this place gets booked crazy fast.) We g
Best dinner ever and worth every penny!
We usually prefer dives over fancy places. However, sometimes you just have to make an exception. We almost didn't go here as this isn't our kind of place at all but this is our big vacation this year and sometimes you just have to say F it
Really great restaurant, lovely location and very helpful and friendly staff
It’s not cheap but it’s totally worth it. The waitstaff is full of friendly advice and we didn’t put a foot wrong on portions and sides and the food and wine was just amazing. We spent Easter Sunday here and everything was spot on - highly reco
Worse experience
Terrible, long wait, rude receptionist , very disrespectful. I am very disappointed, would not go again. Acted like they wanted us to leave
Excellent Experience!
I knew it would be difficult, if not impossible, to get in for dinner. Since I was solo, I opted for the bar. You can't obtain and probably won't want a reservation for one anyway. The first night, I lingered by the main floor bar; but it w

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.
One of the best shoots in Chicago.

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 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
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

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
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,
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!
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 someon
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
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 sal

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. Pro

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bavette's Bar & Boeuf Chicago at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bavette's Bar & Boeuf Chicago page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $5.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $5.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $5 bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Bavette's Bar & Boeuf Chicago to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $5 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bavette's Bar & Boeuf Chicago!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
